What If? JewelMint Lovers' Locket in Silver?

Earlier today I was editing some of my Lovers' Locket photos for an exciting project that I'll be announcing soon, when I came across a filter that is half color and half  black and white.

The outcome? A glimpse at what JewelMint's Lovers' Locket could potentially look like in silver!

I then took it a step further by quickly photoshopping a photo of JewelMint's original Lovers' Locket to see what that would look like in a silver hue as well. Check it out...

JewelMint's Lovers' Locket (altered)

Would you love to see JewelMint's Lovers' Locket in silver? Or do you wish they would bring back the original?

Mint-Spiration: The Serpentine Infinity Knot + Serpentine Drop Knot!

You may remember my original Serpentine Bracelet photos (in this post here) from awhile back. I've been loving this necklace as a bracelet ever since!

Today, I decided to try a few other ways of switching it up...

In the first photo, you can see how I've knotted this necklace bracelet into an overstated knot! I like to call this the Serpentine Infinity Knot.

The second photo kind of just happened when I was playing around with it a little more...this is pretty much just like the first knot except instead of feeding the other side through, I let the knot hang down instead. I'm also tempted to attached my second serpentine to the two links of the first necklace to create a Serpentine Knot Necklace - I think that would look AMAZING! What do you think this version of the Serpentine bracelet should be called? Maybe the Serpentine Drop Knot?

I love this because...
There are so many ways you can mix this necklace up. If you already own this necklace, you should try it out!

JewelMint Sneak Peek: Apple Locket?

Photo: JewelMint

JewelMint has shared this upcoming sneak peek over on Facebook! Besides being an obvious apple charm necklace, I'm wondering if this apple opens - à la Pomander.

While I'm normally a fan of red delicious apples, the contrast between the green enamel and gold hardware is a nice combination.

As for styling this necklace, I'm not sure yet if this is something I would actually wear - I think my daughter would absolutely love it though, and this could also make a cute gift for teachers.

Here are a few similar options I found that are available now...

What do you think of this sneak peek? Love it or pass?

JewelMint's New Golden Fringe Earrings + Return of Lucky Charms!

Photos: JewelMint

They do exist! JewelMint's new Golden Fringe Earrings were released yesterday along with the return of the Lucky Charms Necklace! I believe this to be the third time JewelMint has released LC - the first release being a quick sell out, followed by another brief return to ultimately - and quickly - sell out again.

I'm actually really exited for a gold version of On The Fringe, as I'm more of a fan of gold now than ever!

All about it...

Golden Fringe Earrings

Description: Born from the original silver best-sellers, these golden gems pack a whole lot of glamorous punch! The ultimate style pick-me-up, worn casually cool or with embellished elegance, you'll live on the edge of fashion glory with this shining knockout design.

I'm thinking these earrings will be perfect for summer - I'm imagining wearing these poolside, hair down with beachy, summer waves! Never thought I'd say that I can't wait for it to heat up a little more! :)

BeachMint Announces HomeMint Launch | Interior Designs from Justin Timberlake + Designer Estee Stanley!

Photo: Elle Decor & HomeMint

Sometimes it's tough keeping a secret - phew! It's been about a month since I first found out about HomeMint, and I couldn't wait to talk about it with all of you! Back during April Collections party on March 31st, I hinted that a new "Mint" was on the horizon, and HomeMint it is!

While I wasn't sure which celebrity would be the heavyweight behind the brand, I was surprised to find out today (along with the rest of you) that Justin Timberlake will be the one to join BeachMint Royalty. Justin will be joining the likes of Kate Bosworth (JewelMint), Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (StyleMint), Jessica Simpson (BeautyMint), and Rachel Bilson (ShoeMint).

As with all the other Mint Brands, this project will be a collaboration between a celebrity and a seasoned professional (with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - MK+A - for StyleMint - who some may argue are seasoned fashion professionals in their own right). As for HomeMint, Justin will be joining forces with celebrity interior designer Estee Stanley!

Word on the street is HomeMint will include an array of home goods such as tableware, pillows, wall decor, linens, prints, etc. With home decor, the possibilities are endless really!

According to Elle Decor, HomeMint will offer a monthly membership fee of $10 that will offer early access to new products and discounts. Additionally, I found that HomeMint will be offering two different price-points on items that will include member pricing and non-member pricing.

From the items and pricing I've seen so far, HomeMint will definitely be an affordable (and super stylish) home decor option for everyone! I seriously can't wait!

BeachMint is said to launch HomeMint's full website in early May.

Bejeweled JewelMint Zuni Bracelet Look-alike!

JewelMint's Zuni Bracelet
Photo: JewelMint

Chi Turquoise Bracelet
Photo: Hautelook

Just when I thought the $222 version of JewelMint's Zuni Bracelet from Vanessa Mooney was completely out of my price range, Hautelook is currently featuring a much more affordable option for only $22!

Savvy Cie's Chi turquoise Bracelet (second photo above) is an adorable alternative to both "zuni's" with a bejeweled touch - crystals! I'm really loving the use of crystals in this version; it makes this bracelet feel a little bit boho-glam. Furthermore, Savvy Cie's version offers a lobster clasp closure....

If you own JewelMint's Zuni Bracelet, you'll know that their version is stretchy. I personally prefer the use of a clasp or hook, so Savvy Cie's version could be a better fit for me in that aspect - literally. :)

Click here to find this bracelet on Hautelook. Sale ends Tuesday.

I'll be sure to follow up with some photos as soon as mine arrives!

Mint-Spiration: JewelMint's Humanity Wish Bracelet + Matching Rose Gold Watch!

Here's a glimpse at my jewelry combination for the day! I'm pairing a rose gold watch from ShopLately with JewelMint's Humanity Wish Bracelet.

I love this combo because...
The bauble heart charm on Humanity Wish perfectly matches the rose gold tone of this watch. Both Humanity Bracelets (silver & gold) look great when paired with round-face watches. Try it out! :)

JewelMint's Golden On The Fringe Earrings

Photo: StyleMint

In StyleMint's new Colette Tank video you can spot a sneak peek at what looks like a golden pair of On The Fringe Earrings from JewelMint! You can see these earrings at the :20 mark in the video below...see if you can spot them!



I have the silver version of these earrings and remember thinking awhile ago how they would be stunning in a gold finish! No word yet as to when - or if - these earrings will be made available, but since they were featured in one of this month's StyleMint videos...I'm hoping to see these as a possible mid-month or end-of-month release (i.e. Silver Gehry Cuff).

Would you purchase a pair of golden On The Fringe Earrings or would you pass?
