Turquoise and Red Statement

Red and Turquoise statement necklace from the Sculpted Tree on Etsy.

When it comes to color coordinating, turquoise and red are at the top of my list of favorites. One of the best ways to combine colors if you are not comfortable doing it with your clothing is via jewelry; especially statement necklaces like this one from Sculpted Tree shop on Etsy. As well as the colors, I like the contrast of sizes and shapes.

Unique Cuffs and Rings

Eye Ring from Lea's Boutique on Etsy

I am a huge Etsy fan especially if I am looking for unique items. This weekend I came across a Canadian leather worker (Lea’s Boutique) that creates some unique looking cuffs and rings. One of the things I like about this artist is their respect for texture and simplicity. Remember, I said unique!

The Cuffs

Here are my favorites:

The Rings

Here are my favorites:

Leather Rings from Lea's Boutique on Etsy

These are all actually pretty reasonable with cuffs between $25 to $40 and rings between $15 to $22. I think it would be totally cool to have one of those eye ones — talk about a conversation starter!

The Statement Necklace

red necklace from GEMLYN on Etsy

If you have not figured it out yet, Etsy is an excellent online source for finding unique pieces of jewelry (as well as plus size clothing). I came across this Fire Engine Red Branch Coral Statement Necklace by GEMLYN today and I think it would be an absolutely fabulous way to dress up that old boring black dress (or grey/navy/white…)  in your closet. It is definitely a statement piece! It is available at Etsy for $118. Too expensive for your pocket book? Have a look around Etsy and you will find jewelry designers who offer their wares in all price ranges.
