See Liz Taylor'sand Princess Grace's Jewels at the Cooper Hewitt

Princess Grace Engagement Ring

Each piece of Van Cleef and Arpels jewelry is so stunning and undeniably a work of art, it's only fitting that it's the focus of the Set in Style exhibit at the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York. The exhibit features gorgeous pieces, including Princess Grace's diamond and pearl engagement ring (above) and this Lamartine bracelet (below), along with matching earrings, that Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor in 1971, because they matched violet eyes.

You'll also see examples of the famed Van Cleef and Arpels zipper necklaces that transform into bracelets and this Walska Brooch/pendant. Originally a "push" present, it features wings that become earrings, a  tail that's a brooch and a 95-carat yellow diamond in the bird's beak that can also be worn as a pendant.

The exhibition runs through June 5.

Kim Kardashian's Belle Noel Jewelry

kim kardashian jewlery
Kim Kardashian's Belle Noelle jewelry line can get lost between her many other projects, including the recently announced budget Kardashian Kollection for Sears. But that would be a shame, because the line, which Kim says is influenced by her world travels, features affordable pieces that can be worn everyday. We're crushing on these bracelets that are $88 for the set. Available at PinkMascara.com.

A Juicy Holiday


Here’s the ultimate gift for your favorite tracksuited traveler: a limited edition diamond encrusted “J” pull. The charm can replace the regular non-blingy “J” pull on a Juicy tracksuit, or worn on a necklace (as Jessica Szhor did at the recent WWD 100th birthday bash) or bracelet. Only 100 of the $1,000 charms will be sold.

Chandelier Earrings

We're on the lookout for the perfect pair of chandelier earrings that will show off your neck without overpowering it, won't weigh down your lobes, and will be stylish without costing a fortune.

This pair of art deco Adriana Orsini earrings is inspired by our upcoming trip to Paris. At only $130, they won't break the bank. The 2" drop falls perfectly falls just below your jaw line.

The Juicy Couture Snowflake chandelier earrings have a lot of impact but don't weigh much:

Banana Republic is a great place to shop for affordable jewelry. Their designs are fresh and the pieces look like they cost more than they do. This pair of Cabernet chandelier earrings is only $45 and would be great for the holidays.

Oscar de la Renta's Emeralds

oscar de la renta emerald earrings

Thanks to Rachel Zoe for letting us know how badly we want these Oscar de la Renta green earrings made of tonal sea glass and emerald cabochon with gold plating. And at $250, they're actually within reach. (Here's hoping the S.O. is reading today!) These babies remind us of the earrings Angelina Jolie wore at the 2009 Oscars. The only thing that's stopping us from ordering these right now is that they're clip ons.
