Bridal Jewelry at Dazzle

You've said yes to the dress and picked out the hue for the bridesmaids, maybe even ordered the perfect Badgley Mishka heels for the big day! But to complete the look, as always, you need the perfect jewelry, the perfect pieces to represent you and your theme for your wedding day. We're here to help!

There's three overarching types of bridal jewelry that will help guide your style: classic, simple, and glam. So which are you?

Classic: 

You want your wedding to be described as timeless. You think Kate Middleton got it right, and you tend to reach for a strand of pearls when you have a big interview or dinner out with the in-laws. You're stoked to get a few things monogrammed with that new initial, and you know that a few things never go out of style.

Try: pearls, single or multiple strands, smooth spheres or a more organic, natural freshwater shape. Don't be afraid to add a little bling to a classic pearl element!

Pearls are a gorgeous, classic look for bridesmaids, too, and they go with any dress, no matter what the shade.

At Dazzle, we also offer Elise Pearl who makes custom pearl necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in a multitude of shades in Rhode Island. They'll make your perfect piece in any length and even add findings, creating a look that's totally you. You can even have your piece made in the USA for a few dollars more!

Simple: 

You know that sometimes less is more, and that simple does not mean boring. You'd prefer for your jewelry to simply enhance your elegant natural lines, rather than stand out as the centerpiece of your look. You admire the fashion sense of Parisian women and have a few simple and classic, go-to looks of your own. You tend to grab solid (often neutral) looks over wild patterns, and you think that the right little black dress can make or break a big event.

Try: single or simple element necklaces on thin strands, like Dogeared. What we especially love about Dogeared is the cards on which the necklaces come, toting phrases like "pearls of love"--they even have a bridesmaid card, and these simple, elegant necklaces would look perfect with ANY bridesmaids dress! Check out everything we can get from Dogeared here. Try also multiple strand necklaces with simple, understated elements for just a touch of bling with a simple line.

Glam: 

Your wedding day is all about you (and your future hubs, of course), and you couldn't be more stoked! You know how to rock a glitter mani and are obsessed with the ridiculously gorgeous jewelry from shows like Downton Abbey. You love both modern and vintage jewelry, as long as the facets catch the light. You'd love for your wedding to be described as "fabulous"!

Try: both modern and vintage crystal necklaces, earrings, and bracelets; statement necklaces; anything that pops and adds to your glamorous day!

Mother's Day Gifts for the Stylish Mom!

Make sure you sign up for our email list for a 20% off coupon!

Shouldn't every day be Mother's Day? From long nights taking care of your sick self to packing up cookies to send to college, from carting you from one practice to another rehearsal to teaching you what unconditional love is actually all about, mom deserves all of the love we can possibly show her! This Mother's Day, show mom not just how much you care--which is a lot, of course--but that you still see her as a stylish woman who deserves to fill her life with the best.

Here at Dazzle we have a few ideas for great Mother's Day gifts for any mom, from the preppy, classic Southern mom, to a more contemporary, bohemian-inspired look for mom. Come by the store to see what really speaks her name to you!

Spartina

Perfect for that classic, preppy look, we love Spartina bags and wallets. Is mom a Southern miss? She'll love the fun, yet classic patterns, making for a bold accessory that you can keep around for a while. How about a funky, color-loving mom? She'll absolutely adore the whimsical, bright patterns, like the Waving Girl look! Spot a few tassels and crossbodies? Bonus points for these current trends! Spartina bags come in both leather and linen, two high-quality options for any mom.

Katie Kalsi

Does it get any better than wearable art? Well, yes, it does! Not only are the interchangeable straps painted by hand and signed by Katie Kalsi--each bag comes with a shoulder strap and a crossbody strap you can easily change out for mood, season, or function--but Katie, the designer of these made-in-LA bags, is from Memphis. There's simply no better way to show off mom's artistic side and love of her hometown. We love that these contemporary bags are made from hand-tanned leather, and the interchangeable straps really let mom express herself however the mood strikes! Check out the team straps if mom's an SEC fan!

Simon Sebbag

Perfect for the mom whose style is both contemporary and a bit whimsical, Simon Sebbag jewelry is an amazing way to say "thank you" for all she's done. The high-quality stones and metals used in Simon Sebbag jewelry means she'll be wearing these pieces for years and years to come, always thinking of you when she slips on those silver bangles or semi-precious stone stackables to complete her outfit's look.

Shelley Kyle

Pure luxury for the mom who deserves a bit of R&R, a little TLC--isn't that all moms? From perfumes and lotions to powders and candles, one whiff of Shelley Kyle and you'll be head-over-heels in love with this line. There's a scent for everyone, from Sorella (a hearty and abundant blend of gardenia and tuberose, both subtle and gracious) to Ballerine (a graceful and serene balance of rose, lily of the valley, jasmine and sea blue Amber). Even better, all Shelley Kyle products are made in the USA, so you can feel great about your purchase.

Dogeared

 For the mom who understands that sometimes less is more, these necklaces are pure, understated elegance. From the single freshwater pearl to a suspended gold hoop (aptly named the karma necklace!), there's definitely a Dogeared necklace out there that will speak to mom. These pieces come on cards succinctly describing the meaning or motivation of the necklace, like Pearls of Love or Make a Wish, helping you share your warm fuzzy feelings for dear mom!

10 Must-Have Items for Spring 2014

You know we've been gushing about the arrival of spring and all the style implications lately, and you read our spring 2014 trends blog! But what are the absolute must-haves this season? We're here to help. Keep in mind these just a few of our favorites, so make sure you stop by the store to check out our other chic, on-trend pieces. Find the ones that speak to you!

 

1. Lilly Pulitzer Tumbler

We love the bright patterns that are at once fun and classy. Bonus points for this acrylic tumbler being reusable and good for Mother Earth!

2. Tribal Clutch

 

Combine two of our favorite trends--tribal prints and clutches, especially envelope clutches--with this must-have piece. We've been loving tribal for a while now, but it works especially well in the warmer months.

3. Droozy / natural stone

How much do you love the current trends towards natural stones? Druzy is one of our favorites, with its gorgeous natural sparkle. They work beautifully with agate and other natural stones.

4. Statement piece

 

Whether it's a bold bibb necklace, bright neon earrings, or a monogrammed cuff bangle, throw a statement piece into your wardrobe that really represents you. What better statement could you make? 

 

5. Single element long necklace

 

Long necklaces are so flattering to the figure and so versatile with effortless day-to-night qualities. Add a bold, single element at the end, and you've taken whimsical elegance to another level!

 

6. Short, chunky necklace

 

A bit freer and more grown up than the Peter Pan collar necklace trend, opt for bold and expressive with this trend. Focus on spring's favorite colors--tangerine, mint, coral, radiant orchid, and turquoise--or natural stones or gemstones for bonus points! 

7. Beaded pieces

 

We adore this refined boho chic element, and it can be so easy to work into your everyday wardrobe. From drop hoop earrings and cuffs to stackable bracelets and clutches, there's a beaded piece out there that will really work with you (and we're pretty sure we have it at Dazzle!).

8. Tassel elements  

 

Not just for penny loafers anymore, tassels add a bit of elegance to so many different accessories, from crossbody bags and hobos, to long necklaces--even bracelets! 

9. Small bag / crossbody

 

By now you should be able to tell just how obsessed we are with crossbodys! Forget those heavy-as-an-anvil shoulder bags, sometimes you need to throw on a small bag and get out there! Look for chain straps, fun patterns (including tribal, of course!), and tassel elements here, too.

10. Something personal  

 

Are you from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I... yeah, we've all heard that cheesy line, but it's time to show off a bit of personal pride! From an adorable acrylic state necklace to monogrammed post earrings to a monogrammed mug (for some caffeinated style), we love this "something personal" trend. 

Dazzle is your go-to shop for Memphis accessories! Come by and see us at 7730 Poplar Avenue in Germantown TN.

Kendra Scott Blog

At Dazzle, we handpick every designer we carry for different reasons, from wearability, to unique statements, to function combined with fashion. With Kendra Scott Jewelry, it’s hard to narrow it down to just a few reasons we love this fresh designer!

1. Kendra Scott jewelry allows you to take a classic wardrobe, update it, and make it a statement.

Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace in Mint,
Just $64.50 at Dazzle

If you understand the benefit of investing in great classic pieces, you know that bold, gorgeous accessories can take your wardrobe from smart to statement. Kendra Scott’s vibrant colors and exotic inspiration can take any tailored look to a different level with detail and fun use of color. Try Kendra Scott's Rayne Mint necklace with a classic white button-down oxford and pencil skirt at the office. The deep gold tassel adds depth, while the mint is playful and totally on trend.

 2. Kendra Scott jewelry can be worn multiple ways for multiple occasions and moods

The best part of that Kendra Scott Rayne necklace in mint? The piece goes from office to evening in an instant. Kendra Scott Jewelry finds itself in a mesmerizing, unique spot in the ability to transform so many different types of outfits. Worn with a pair of micro cutoffs and a loose tank, the Rayne necklace says fun, exotic, and summer. Worn with a classic little black dress and sky-high pumps to a dinner date, the necklace says classy, sexy, and interesting. Unlike formal or casual one-trick ponies, Kendra Scott Jewelry is remarkably versatile.

3. Kendra Scott balances freshness in color and design with her own creativity and timeless elements

 Allison Earrings in Mint and Coral,
$52.50 each at Dazzle

No doubt, any fashionista recognizes the mint and coral in Kendra's classic collection as the now colors for spring and summer. Kendra Scott balances these on trend hues with her signature look--delicate detail and bold, oversized faces of the semi-precious stones. Take the Kendra Scott Allison earrings, to the right, for example. By pairing on trend colors with a classic drop earring, multi-faceted semi-precious stone, and teardrop cut, the earring is bold and fresh, but still sophisticated. By balancing trends with signature looks, Kendra Scott produces pieces that can update any outfit. This, friends, is the best of both worlds! With Kendra Scott Jewelry pieces, you can stay on top of what's hot, while rocking classic pieces in your wardrobe that look good and make you feel good. This balance also prevents future, "What was I thinking?" moments that typically result from head-to-toe outfitting in trendy pieces!

4. Kendra Scott provides a high quality product in an affordable price point, making quality that was previously out-of-reach accessible

Kendra Scott Jewelry Dawn Earrings,
just $52.50 at Dazzle

 Have you ever struggled to find high quality, beautiful jewelry at an affordable price point? Haven't we all... Kendra Scott herself included! In fact, this frustration was part of Kendra's original inspiration.

"I saw that there weren’t many jewelry companies creating beautifully, handcrafted pieces at an attainable price point, so I started designing with that in mind"

What resulted was celebrity-worthy jewelry that's totally affordable--previously an oxymoron! Kendra Scott prides herself on quality and design, yet her pieces won't cost you an arm and a leg. The gorgeous, detailed Dawn earrings to the right are only $52.50, making them affordable enough for a "just because" splurge or gift! Hint hint, fellas.

5. Kendra Scott is constantly coming out with new, globally-inspired collections that make a statement, add pop and interest to any outfit

It's not at all surprising that Kendra Scott says she designs an overall vision, rather than piece-by-piece. A travel-lover, she injects her collections with inspiration from the culture, architecture, people, and geography of her favorite trips. She also envisions the woman for whom she's designing during the process, imagining who she is, what she's like, and what she loves. The gorgeous Summer 2013 collection was inspired by a trip to Bali, and the deep culture Kendra fell in love with. Who did Kendra Scott have in mind during the designing process? "The woman I designed my latest collection for was exotic, loves to travel and immerses herself in the culture."

6. Kendra Scott utilizes creativity and design in a unique way, with a look that is at the same time signature and constantly evolving with inspiration.

 Kendra Scott Jewelry Sklyar Black
Onyx Earrings, just $52.50 at Dazzle

With just a casual familiarity with Kendra Scott Jewelry, you're likely to spot her pieces instantly. This signature look is solid, yet evolving always. No matter what new place inspires Kendra Scott, no matter which new woman Kendra has in mind while designing, her signature style is woven throughout all of her pieces. This ability is creativity at its best, being able to say something new in a way Kendra Scott fans love. This keeps us constantly excited to see Kendra's new line, curious as to what inspired her and what she came up with, knowing we'll love it already.
