Scarlet Green

Everyone is talking about green this spring, emerald green to be more specific, as in The Emerald City, as in Oz: The Great. When The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939, another movie came out that year too, you may have heard of it: Gone With The Wind.  This epic, wonderful, miserable movie featured one of the most complex, you love to hate her characters of all time, Miss Katie Scarlett O'Hara.  She is one tough B-word, and thanks to costume designer, Walter Plunkett, she also always dressed impeccably.  Her name may be Scarlett, but she wore lots and lots of green (my favorite color).  So, instead of getting on the Oz bandwagon, I choose Scarlet as my inspiration to Bellissima's take on spring green.

This is a publicity still, this scene in the movie is when I hate her the most (she's really gotta get over Ashley Wilkes) but, what an amazing 'robe'!

Her famous 'curtain' dress,  who else could pull off curtains like that?

So now that you're all probably like me, "Pea green with envy" over her wardrobe, maybe some emerald Bellissima jewels can be a more realistic approach to wearing green!

Our Skinny Hoops.  Light-weight, and so easy to wear

What's a spring without this cuff?  Somehow it never gets old, and it's so easy to pop one on in the morning.

I'm a big fan of the long and lean chains.  You can wear them long for a casual look, or double them to add some sophistication.  I love our solid colored ones, but love the pop of coral in this version!

I LOVE our newest filigree earring.  It's the perfect shape and size.

The crescent ear is the perfect summer earring for day and night.

Our skinny round stack bracelets are experiencing quite the revival.  I love stacking them with other embellished skinny bangles.  You can't have enough in Tokyo.

This is a new chain ear.  I like it, and I have high hopes for it!  It's kind of unique, but not totally out there.

Solid cuffs-solid for Spring and Summer with jeans and a t-shirt

All our chain necks are still doing really well, and they're all available in these colors.

The Gift of Bellissima

There's No Place Like Happy Hour for the Holidays

Every year around this time, we solidify a date for our Bellissima Holiday sale at Common Ground, in NYC.  All our fans and friends come out to buy some gifts for loved ones and themselves.  We have some drinks, maybe some paninis and it's always a lot of fun.  We always like to give some portion of the proceeds to charity.  Historically, we donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but this year we will donate to the victims of Hurricane Sandy.  It's looking like it's going to be a cold winter, and a very hard Holiday season for a lot of New Yorkers.  So, on a happy note, we'll be doing our small part to help those who were hit hard by Sandy.  So, come on out, and let's do some good while having a good time!  

Cheesy but true...

Here are the deets:

Thursday, December 6th 

at Common Ground

206 Avenue A (bet. 12th St. & 13th St.)

6PM-9PM

Happy Hour specials on food and drinks til 8PM

We will also be at the Sotheby's Holiday Bazaar on Tuesday, December 4th.  During the day, from 12-4pm, so if you're in the neighborhood and can't make it on the 6th, it is open to the public, so you can visit us on your lunch break.  Better lighting, but no booze-you be the judge.

Pippa Middleton wears Bellissima

Pippa Middleton has written a book.  Pippa wore two pairs of Bellissima's tortoise shell earrings to her book launch and promotional events.  This is very exciting!  Johanna Simonds Jewelry in London carries many of our designs, and Johanna is one of our most dedicated and loyal promoters.  She loves our line, and her passion for it shows.  If you live across the pond and love our designs, you can buy online (www.johannasimonds.com) or contact Johanna through her website.

Here are some images of Pippa and our Earrings!
