JewelMint's September 2011 Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

Photos: JewelMint

It's been a few days and hopefully everyone has rested and recovered from Wednesday Night's (Awesome) September Collections Party & Giveaway!

Again, a super huge thank you to everyone who joined in the chat! As always, I had a blast and I hope everyone else did too! I also want to say congrats again to Katie - the winner of my JewelMint Giveaway!

As for September's collection, I must say that I really think Kate and Cher have outdone themselves this month. I also think this month's selection serves extremely well as the perfect summer to fall transitional collection - from bright blues and a hint of pink all the way to a mixture of olivine and topaz. We can almost see a glimpse of winter with frosty white crystals encrusting a few pieces as well. Just gorgeous.

While photos of nine of the pieces from the collection were leaked early (of which six were available to purchase early), it was a nice surprise to see the Gatsby Bracelet, Ever Frost Ring, and Paramour Necklace make their debut at Midnight on the 1st.

Overall, I'm really excited about this month's designs. Classic statement pieces that are simple, yet intricate at the same time.

Lastly, I'm really hoping that the Payal Belle Bracelet makes a debut sometime soon. Could it be this month's Love That Binds Bracelet, being held back as a part of next month's collection, or a delayed piece such as the Moonbeam Ring that will make a random mid-month debut sometime within the next couple of months? Guess we shall wait and see!

The Poison Ring?

Possibly an upcoming September piece? No sneak peek photos or other visuals. Just a name.

Interesting...

xoxo, Lily

We've Got Names People!!! Thank You Candace & "Anonymous"!

A super huge thank you to Candace for finding these and also to Anonymous who (in this post here) mentions two new September JewelMint pieces!

These two new names include the Hayden Necklace and Morning Rain Earrings!

And that's all I'm saying.

xoxo, Lily

P.S. Here's a list of what we have so far:

Black Swan Cuff - Available to purchase now! (click here)
Faye Dynasty earrings

Hayden Necklace

Lady Noir Rings

Lost City Necklace

Morning Rain Earrings

Midnight Soirée Ring - Available to purchase now! (click here)

Payal Belle Bracelet

Pomander Pendant

Savoy Bracelet

*UPDATE* Seems as though the Midnight Soiree Ring was only *very* briefly available for purchase which is a total bummer because I had assumed it was another "Early Access" piece. Good thing I checked again before sending out the text notifications to everyone!!! lol As of right now you may try adding it to your cart, but it no longer shows up in check out. I'm assuming those who were able to actually purchase one during (what seems to have been) the glitch, will probably have theirs shipped after the 1st?

New JewelMint September Sneak Peeks - Savoy Bracelet & Midnight Soirée Ring! Thank You Breanne!

 

Photos: JewelMint Poses Facebook App

A super huge thanks to Breanne for sending me a message about two new September Sneak Peeks that can be found on JewelMint's Facebook Poses App! We finally have the names for two pieces we've been talking about for awhile now!

The Savoy Bracelet (as seen in this post here) is still looking absoltely gorgeous!!

The Midnight Soirée Ring (as seen in these post here, here and here) - you know, that "Black" cocktail ring as we've been calling it?? . Well, it's actually olivine green! Too funny, considering I was calling the upcoming green ring in September's Lady Noir Rings black for awhile there as well.

What are your thoughts on these two new September pieces? Which pieces are you looking forward to buying the most?

xoxo, Lily

P.S. You can plug in the names with dashes to find the direct links: (i.e. JewelMint.com/Jewelry/insert-name-here).

Hey Payal! We've Seen You Before!

I was looking back at a photo Cher Coulter posted on Twitter that has also been recently referenced in this post here and here.

Taking a closer look, does this not look like the Payal Belle Bracelet on the model's wrist?? I think so!!! :)

Updated List of September Pieces! Thank You Janine!

A super huge "Thank you!" to Janine for sending an email with a current list of uncovered September pieces. The latest to be added to the list is the Payal Belle Bracelet. Here's the current list so far:

Faye Dynasty Earrings

Lady Noir Rings

Lost City Necklace

Payal Belle Bracelet

Pomander Pendant

There's a possible extra September piece that I know of, but I can't share it just yet as it hasn't completely been confirmed.

We're also still on the lookout for the names of this bracelet, this ring, this ring, this necklace that are believed to be upcoming September pieces.

I'm also completely surprised by the Lady Noir Rings!! I was totally expecting those black rings that have been circulating around (as seen here and here) to be a part of the set. Turns out, I was wayyyyyyyy off! Which means, the black rings we've seen are still possible September pieces!!

xoxo, Lily

P.S. You can plug in the names with dashes to find the direct links: (i.e. JewelMint.com/Jewelry/insert-name-here).

Missed One! Another JewelMint Ring Sneak Peek! Is This The Lady Noir Set's Other Half?

I took a closer look at Kate's C Magazine spread as seen below in this post here. While JewelMint's blog doesn't point out this ring specifically, the article's introduction indeed lists this ring on Kate's finger as a JewelMint ring - "JewelMint ring, $30."

Here's a closer look...

Photos: C Magazine / JewelMint's Style Diary Blog

The question remains as to which month this one will be released: September, October or November?

However, I must say it looks very similar to the other black and silver ring featured in the spread named the "Lady Noir Ring Set" (below). Could this possibly be the other ring in this set coming in September??? I sure hope so!!

xoxo, Lily

*UPDATE* Turns out, the first ring is not the other half of September's Lady Noir Set, but it still has a potential for being a September ring *we hope*!

JewelMint Sneak Peeks: Necklace, Bracelets, Rings - Oh My!

This first sneak peek is from the StyleCaster JewelMint Photo Shoot! Cher Coulter shared this on Twitter along with the following:

"still glowing from the @StyleCaster @JewelMint shoot yesterday...It's SO cool. I can't wait til September!!"

If this bracelet is indeed from September, you can totally count me in, it's gorgeous!

The next sneak peek is a brand new necklace coming out in September called the "Pomander Necklace"! Like I've always said, my heart just melts for charm necklaces!

The last sneak peek looked super familiar, so I did some digging and found the same necklace layered in this post here! Here's another look (below). Check out that chunky ring on her index finger! Is that a brand new, upcoming JewelMint ring I spy???

It feels like September can't come soon enough! Please stay tuned for my JewelMint & StyleMint September Party & Giveaway announcement coming soon! The last one was so much fun and I can't believe we hit the 50 person capacity mark as fast as we did. This next party will allow more people to participate, promise! :)

Don't forget: You can always keep up with all the current sneak peeks in the Sneak Peeks - Upcoming Pieces & Sketches link permanently fixed in the upper side bar!

Sneak Peeks: Upcoming JewelMint Necklaces!

Photo: JewelMint Blog

In the photo above, Kate Bosworth is wearing an upcoming Jewelmint necklace! Here's what JewelMint's Style Diary Blog has to say about it:

"Kate looked chic leaving one of her favorite restaurants, Chateau Marmont, last week. Check out the upcoming JewelMint necklace she wore! This delicate dangeler works perfectly with her simple, yet sophisticated neutral look."

I literally had to do a double-take! When I had originally scrolled down over the photo, my first instinct was that she was wearing the Pearl Fleur Necklace. However, due to the size of the pearl on this necklace, lack of a ring, longer length, and color - this pearl looks amethyst - it is most definitely a new piece and deserves its own attention! My second instinct? How fabulous this will look paired with the Opera Pearl Necklace!

Here's another JewelMint piece on Kate that was introduced to us earlier this week...

Kate's wearing September's upcoming Lost City Necklace in the photo above. Her blue dyed tips remind me of those good 'ol elementary school days when everyone would dye their hair with Kool-Aid! Remember that? :)

Here's what JewelMint's Style Diary Blog has to say:

"Kate rocked teal tips in attendance of the Coldplay concert on Wednesday, and peaking out from under the collar of her floral blouse is… another preview! The Lost City Necklace will be available this September for those of you loving it!"

We saw this same piece earlier this week when Kate Bosworth mentioned it during Glamour's Facebook chat earlier this week and in this post here! You can see the original photo Cher Coulter posted to Facebook in the same post.

I also previously took a poll about the new Lost City Necklace - here are the (rounded) result numbers as they currently stand:

33% of you say you love it!
42% of you say it's okay.

25% of you say it's not your style.

With that, it's time for another poll! This time I'm curious what you think about the unknown pearl necklace as seen on Kate!

xoxo, Lily

P.S. Don't forget to check out the Sneak Peeks - Upcoming Pieces & Sketches tab permanently listed in the sidebar where I continually update the latest sneak peek photos and sketches! 

In Case You Missed It: Kate Bosworth Joined Glamour Magazine on Facebook for a Chat!

The beautiful and always lovely, Kate Bosworth, made an appearance on Glamour Magazine's Facebook page earlier this morning (from 10-10:30am) to chat with fans! Kate was logged in as "JewelMint", and for half an hour she answered your questions!

Here's a rundown of Kate's commentary in case you missed it!

"My favorite JewelMint pieces for August are the New Heights Bracelet, New Wave Ring, and the Sealed With Love Necklace. We have a great story about the Sealed With Love Necklace. Cher Coulter wrote three notes and tucked them into three of the Sealed With Love Necklace packages. If you receive a note, you'll get a style tip and a prize!"

"Lost Girls and Love Hotels" is a project close to my heart- check out the campaign I just shot for french designer Vanessa Bruno... the director Stephanie di Giusto shot the short film for us and will also be directing "lost girls." The campaign will be up shortly for fall: http://www.vanessabruno.co​m/

"The JewelMint July collection has been one of my favorite months for design. I especially love the Paradise Cove Necklace, Garden Patch Trio, For Keeps Bracelet, and the Supernova Earrings. You can really own a piece of summer's hottest trends when you wear these."

"Straw Dogs is coming out September 16th. It's a thriller- remake of the original Peckinpah film, also starring Alexander Skarsgard and James Marsden."

"Some of the key pieces in my closet that I wear often are the Alexander Wang Marti Bag, the Isabel Marant Betty Wedge Trainers, the JewelMint Sienna Bracelet, and the JewelMint Sea Breeze Earrings."

"I just worked with the Polish brothers on Big Sur. They are brilliant! Check out their most recent film, For Lovers Only, available on iTunes. It's just beautiful."

"One of my favorite classic looks is a pencil skirt worn with a button up blouse. I love Equipment blouses. One of the chicest trends at the moment is to layer a short necklace just under the collar. My favorite JewelMint pieces to layer are the Casati Necklace. Also look out for a delicate, bohemian, short silver necklace coming out in September. Cher Coulter will upload a sneak peek of this silver necklace right now on her page."

"ps that last post is great for everyday, especially office chic."

"For a limited budget, Topshop is my favorite place to shop for updated trends. TopShop Link"

"For my beauty routine, I like using Epicuren's products for skincare. http://www.epicuren.com/"

"Thanks everyone for participating. I'm on set for StyleCaster, and have to get back to the shoot. You can visit my personal Facebook page for updates: Kate Bosworth. Have a wonderful summer, stay safe and be healthy!"

As for that September JewelMint Sneak Peek Cher Coulter uploaded on Facebook, here it is! Except, it looks gold to me? I'm assuming it could be the output from the photo program, Instagram, that Cher uses on a regular basis.

What are your thoughts on this upcoming September piece? Does it look gold to you too??
