Galas, Gowns and Grown-up Jewelry

Every jewelry hound knows the fall season brings with it all kinds of galas, opening nights and high profile fundraisers - perfect conditions for a good bauble hunt.

I love it when the grown-ups come out to play.

New York City Ballet's Fall Gala:

It's been a while since we've seen Sarah Jessica Parker on a red carpet, and she picked the tony occasion of the New York City Ballet's Fall Gala last night to grace us with a little Halston hotness and some great dress-up jewelry.

I love the necklace layering - not too matchy-matchy and just the right side of gaudy with the metallic sheen of her dress.  What do you think of the choice? Should she lose the longer look?


Los Angeles Philharmonic Opening Gala:

Eva Mendes lit up the left coast last night in a flowing Dior gown and sparkling Neil Lane jewelry that channeled old Hollywood glamour.

This diamond bracelet looks like it was made for her gown. Gorgeous!

Who are your favorite grown-up gamines to gawk at on the red carpet? Charlize Theron is another one on my list - despite her unfortunate gown choice at the Oscars this year.

Lady Gaga Inspires Meat Jewelry

 

Move over diamond divas. Here comes something meatier....

One would think things couldn't get any more bizarre than the 'insect jewelry' craze or gems made out of the remains of your beloved pet, Muffy (or Uncle Herbert). But the jewelry world is a vast and varied landscape, my friends.

So it should really come as no surprise that the dress that shocked America - Lady Gaga's VMA frock made from real red meat - has inspired a jewelry line sure to add sparkle to your sirloin.

Keep your panties on, PETA. The carne creation is made from FAUX meat product - it's 100% animal friendly. And might just cause some folks to go green on sight.

LA-based company, Onch Movement, is responsible for this lovely addition to the jewelry lexicon - and they promise the $55 'Meat-lace' will "look just as fresh and delicious as the day it was first cut."

Where's the beef, Mary? Oh, right. It's hanging around my neck like a Rocky Balboa punching bag.


I think I'll pass on this one. Thoughts?
