Art Deco bridal jewelry styling harkens back to the incredible designs of the '20s

Art Deco was a design style that took the world by storm in the mid 1920's. Fashion and design had been through Art Nouveau [think late 19th century with all the scrolls and elaborate femininity of Belle Epoque of Paris] when a 1925 French art exposition at Le Musee des Arts Decoratifs blew peoples minds. Art Deco's, bold, clean, geometric lines [with a soupcon if inspiration from American Indian and Pre-Columbian influences] brought new shapes, new sensibilities and new life to fashion, furniture and art. Our Wishing Well headpiece celebrates Art Deco's passion and style with a delicate interweaving of metal and rectangular Swarovski stones. Available with silver stones in either gold or silver metal.

Trend Report: the bold choker necklace

The choker [or very fitted necklace the sits snugly around ones neck like a turtle neck] is by far this season's boldest statement piece of jewelry! Pairing well with low or plunging necklines the choker first made a fashion appearance around the time of English Queen [and notorious bold woman!] Anne Boleyn (remember the pearl "B" necklace worn by Natalie Portman playing Anne Boleyn in "The Other Boleyn Sister"). The choker was immensely popular in the late 19th century partly due to England's Alexandra, Princess of Wales [precursor to Diana!] who wore thick rows of pearls and velvet, setting quite the trend. 

Here we showcase the Isabella Choker by Justine M Couture.

The classic way to secure a choker is with a ribbon at the back, adding a delicate flutter of feminine satin to counter the boldness of the neckline at the front.
