JewelMint's April 2012 Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

Photos: JewelMint

Another super huge thanks to everyone who joined us this past Saturday Night for the April Mints Collection Party, Giveaways, and to celebrate Jewels+Mints 1-Year Anniversary! It's always so much fun getting to chat with all of you about everything from your favorite pieces to late-night food runs! :)

Congratulations again to the following winners of the night! Both of these lucky ladies won a JewelMint piece of their choice: Corrine H. & Beverly P.

Now that a couple days have passed and we've recovered from our weekend shopping sprees, I'm curious as to which pieces you've purchase this month so far!

This was hard for me to decide, but my top 5 picks of the month include the following:

JewelMint Angel Trumpet Earrings

JewelMint Armor Ring

JewelMint Cinema Americano Bracelet

JewelMint Tough Love Rings

JewelMint Rodeo Drive Bracelet

I was on the fence about the Lioness Bracelet, but it sold out before I could make up my mind. Like all previous JewelMint months, there is always one piece that seems to be originally introduced in limited quantities, but will be re-released again later in the month. I believe this to be one of JewelMint's marketing strategies to create more hype. The only other reasons for a quick month sell-out includes issues with production (i.e. Indio Earrings, Ludlow Rings, etc.) So if you missed out, I wouldn't fret - it should be back soon just like the Atlantis Pendant from last month's collection!

I also want to love the Plume Paradise Earrings, but after purchasing the Wing It Earrings, I'm a little nervous purchasing anything with feathers. There was at least an inch difference in length between the two earrings I received, and one earring was fuller than the other. I was able to fix it though by trimming the feathers myself, but I would have loved to have both earrings equal in fullness and length. The champagne color of the beads are gorgeous though so I wasn't totally disappointed with them. As for Plume Paradise, I'll be waiting to hear some feedback about them before finally deciding...

So now that you've had some time to place your orders, which pieces have you purchased so far?

JewelMint's Natural Beauty Bracelets | April 2012 Friendship Bracelet Collection

Photo: JewelMint

JewelMint's Natural Beauty Friendship Bracelets (April 2012) have yet to be released, but should be coming soon!

I honestly can't decide which set is my favorite now; it's a close tie between these blue/green beauties and last month's Modern Love (March 2012) Friendship Bracelets.

Yep, even with the blush/plum bracelet mix-up! Let's just hope that one of this month bracelets doesn't show up neon green at our doorsteps! Although, a neon green friendship bracelet does kinda sound cute, no? :) Here's what these natural beauties are all about:

JewelMint's Natural Beauty Bracelets
Description: Our set of teal, sea green, and light blue bracelets symbolizes tranquility, growth and fertility, and healing, respectively. Each 7 ½” wax thread design includes 1” extender and link detail. Perfect for Earth Day, personalized cards make it easy to keep one and share two with your BFFs!

Click here to find them at JewelMint.com. I'll follow up as soon as their available for sale!

JewelMint's Zuni Bracelet | April 2012 Collection Early Release!

Photos: JewelMint

We need a little distraction from all the drama stemming from today's Golden Ticket debacle and this early release is probably good timing - I'll be following up on that later.

As for this new release, it's JewelMint's April 2012 Zuni Bracelet as seen on Kate Bosworth and in other photos here.

I had originally thought this may be the Aqua Nights Bracelet, so there's still hope that the Aqua Nights may still be a spin-off piece of JewelMint's popular Arabian Nights Bracelet!

JewelMint's New Zuni Bracelet
Go west with a splash of color and cultural charm. Our brass oxidized plated bracelet features a unique mix of tubing, link detail, and black and white glass beads. For a bold boost of native chic, we’ve set the center casting with lush blue enamel. Slip on the 2 ½” wide stretch design when you reach a fashion fumble and declare your closet case solved!

Click here to find the Zuni Bracelet on JewelMint.com.

Regardless of all the current issues, will you be purchasing the Zuni?

Kate's April 2012 Armor Rhinestone Knuckle Ring!

Photos: Forever21 (top/bottom), Kate Bosworth - Twitter (center)

Yesterday, Kate Bosworth tweeted this April 2012 Collection sneak peek featuring one rhinestone armor knuckle ring that's sure to be an April favorite!

I remembered seeing a ring recently over at Forever21 that looks similar so I went back to find it. Sure enough it's almost a dead-ringer, but the quality of JewelMint's version does look superior in my opinion.

If you just can't wait 'til April, check out some of these other similar styles I found:
