Darlings, CC is so excited to (re)introduce you to Renee Blackwell Design, a fabulous range of jewelry by the talented Aussie designer Renee Blackwell!  CC first featured Renee's creations back in 2010(!), so she is delighted to again share with her fellow fashionistas the most exquisite handmade earrings, necklaces and pendants.

She also uses delicate antiques in her pieces, such as rare French buttons. Currently about 120 stores stock Renee's designs, and she is pleased to ship worldwide for free! CC hopes you enjoy these pretty pieces and that you consider treating yourself to a beautiful bauble or purchasing a piece or two to give as gifts to your gal pals and female family members this holiday season.

Lovely Leuer Jewelry

Darlings, CC is loving Leuer jewelry!
Here's a bit about the line:
Leuer was started by Ashley D, the designer and owner. The jewelry line features a mixture of glam and edgy pieces. Leuer’s mission statement is to provide artistic fashion forward jewelry that is affordable and accessible. In order to achieve this mission we strive to design and make unique fashion jewelry. We also hope to provide a variety of styles and options for our customers so that we can be able to appeal to their many fashion personalities.
Ashley D was convinced that her niche would be in the fashion industry. “I started sketching different designs of jewelry and was impressed with the outcome, so I decided to have them made and I loved the way they turned out, that was when I knew that I was on to something,” says the owner. With this thought she began her quest in creating the world of Leuer.
The jewelry pieces themselves are very striking and fashion forward and is perfect for that gal who wants to stand out. Our first ever collection features seven Egyptian styles of jewelry that offer a bit of glam and sophistication. They are all made of brass and plated with 14k gold. This gives them a very high polished finish that gleams even in the dark.
CC absolutely adores these spiked pieces, especially the earrings, which she owns! Fabulous news, darlings! Leuer is offering CC readers these amazing Ra stud earrings for $35 off with coupon code "carrie"... Happy shopping!
CC is thinking of adding one of these amazing bracelets to her Leuer collection as well.
And how stunning is this ring?

Gorgeous Gold Jewelry!

There’s something about gold that just makes CC drool! Big, gaudy, and sparkly – can you get any better? Well actually yeah, you can! What makes gold accessories even better is that gold literally goes with everything! Mix it with different metals, different colors, whatever! It will pull any outfit together. CC particularly likes these pieces of gold jewelry CC found at ShopNBC.

CC loves the use of blue in the both the Alexandrite ring and the turquoise ring.

The foil pendant is just so unique and eye-catching, it would surely stand out in a crowd!

And of course, CC's favorite is the black onyx and white agate pendant. It looks like a bold mix between Asian and African influences. How do you like your gold? Blended? Rose? White? Subtle or outlandish? Sparkly or tarnished?
