Elizabeth Locke Jewelry
Come June and as certain as the balmy days of summer is every woman’s want to update her wardrobe – to make the dull drabs of the winter greys closeted away come to life in a newfound light.
So, what to do? How best to sparkle, how to appear up-to-the-minute, and as bright as the season’s light?
According to style setters and influencers, the easiest hack is to add a touch of glamor to that outfit via a well selected piece of jewelry. You’ll end up with multiple looks for the price of one, and it will make you see what’s already in your wardrobe in a whole new way.
Helping you wade through a sea of options will be showcases and designer pop-ups at Acorns – Old Edwards jewelry, home accents, furniture, and gift shop – this month.
Indeed, a trip through the upcoming shows from jewelers Elizabeth Locke and Ali & Bird are certain to spark endless inspiration in how to inject a fresh dose of sophistication and panache into those old clothes.
Elizabeth Locke Jewelry Showcase: Friday, June 21 – Sunday, June 23:
The jewelry brand Elizabeth Locke is based in Virginia, but its neo-classical aesthetic seems rooted in the sensibility of Rome, a city nearly 4,000 miles away where the collector first visited as an eleven-year-old.
Locke’s creations have Etruscan, Greek and Roman sensibilities that connect her admirers to a world long past. Today her brand is synonymous with worldly treasures and unique materials – setting a high bar for show-stopping, head-turning pieces. What could be more perfect for a wardrobe refresh than the vintage intaglios, ancient Greek and Roman coins and antique Japanese porcelain buttons that she refashions into 19-karat gold earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces?
Ali & Bird Designer Pop-Up: Friday, June 28 through Sunday, July 7.
There’s nothing quite like the rush of discovering an indie brand with a beautiful concept and even more beautiful products. This is the bold and stunning collection that is the work of Atlanta resident Ali Howell and her daughter Lindsey, affectionately named “Bird.”
Their artisanal and handcrafted baubles are the perfect pieces to make over any ordinary summer outfit into an extraordinary look. In Ali and Bird’s hands, semi-precious stones, pearls, crystals, and chains are transformed into wearable art to create, “singular, off-center looks that convey a fashion-forward statement to a favorite pair of jeans or your best little black dress.”
