Chic Gems Creates Sophisticated Jewelry You Can Afford

Chicagoan Sarah Radford designs her jewelry collections from materials that excite her such as semi-precious quartz, turquoise, labradorite, jasper, amethyst, pearl, glass, and acrylic. Her line incorporates bright colors, eye catching neutrals and silver accents with clean lines and a sleek sense of style.

For example, a modern take on the classic, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” look are these large, 16mm glass pearl earrings $25.00, capped with a small, flower-shaped silver rondelle, are e suspended from a slim, sterling silver ear wire, They are super-simple, but significant enough to dress up anything from casual pants to a prom dress. They’re available in dark grey (smoke), Oyster (pearl) and bright purple16mm.

A matching pearl necklace $25.00 with a solo pearl is flanked by two flower-shaped silver rondelles, and threaded through a slim, flexible, silver illusion wire with sterling silver hook and eye closure.

These would be the perfect gift for your honor attendants and bridesmaids if you are getting married anytime soon. There are smaller pearl earrings you could give to your junior attendants, too. I also like the chunkier stone and pearl pieces for women who really want to stand out in a crowd, without being obvious or gaudy.

Sarah’s simple but elegant, high quality but affordable pieces can be found in stores, mainly in Chicago, but also, thankfully online. Another reason to choose Chic Gems, etc. is that the company supports a number of charities by hosting and supporting benefit events. Sarah supports Kid Power, the Make a Wish Foundation, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Imerman Angels, and Avon Walk among others – often by creating custom pieces for charities to sell to raise money.
