Emitations: Bargain Basement Bling


Posted: July 8th, 2010 | Author: Lisafashionista | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »


Celebrities are always dripping with jewels on the red carpets – sometimes 10 or 20 karats of diamonds, rubies or some other precious stone.  But for the most part, even the celebrities can’t afford this bling, they borrow it from famous jewelers like Chopard.  If you like the look of designer jewelry and are ok with wearing the not-quite-so-real thing, Emitations is a good store for you.

The earrings above are simulated Emeralds that were inspired by the ones that Angelina Jolie wore to the 2009 oscars.  I think that these are a really nice choice because they aren’t like fake diamonds where people may be able to tell the difference – probably no one is expecting you to be wearing enormous real emeralds anyway so they’ll take them at face value as costume jewelry.

The necklace above is cubic zirconia (aka fake diamonds) but because it’s small and subtle I think you could probably pass it off as the real thing.  But honestly, probably no one is going to ask if it is real anyway, so you don’t even have to pretend.  If you wear this with a nice dress it will look pretty and delicate.

In addition to necklaces and earrings, Emitations also has rings and bracelets.  They have a huge selection and lots of different styles including plus size jewelry and petite size rings.  Make sure to check out this site next time you are looking for a cool new piece of jewelry at an affordable price.

Store Appeal: I’m a simple girl when it comes to accessorizing and choosing my outfits, but don’t get me wrong; I’m a sucker when it comes to things like eye catching costume  jewelry. When I discovered Alexis Bittar’s jewelry collection I went all googly-eyed because his creations are the perfect mix of influences from things like vintage art deco to 80′s modern sculptural influences.  It’s to be expected from someone like him, whose credentials boast clients from Burberry to Pat Field of Sex in the City fame. No doubt you can see the craftsmanship and superb design talent from his various collections. Prepare to be wow-ed!

Our Vote: A very interactive website with Polaroid images of his jewelry and an illustrated timeline of his personal biography. You can find links to his blog as well as current/past jewelry collections. Great images of the jewelry as well as detailed descriptions.
