Lenise Willis’ Pick: Cherry Blossom Bloom Necklace by Studio Oh

I have always loved flowers. As a little girl, I was even well known to pick big bundles of my grandmother’s flowers, whether they were meant to be picked or not! So, I love how flower motifs never seem to go out of style, and I particularly love Studio Oh’s new Bloom Jewelry collection, which includes 14K-gold plated stud earrings and necklaces that feature a simple, yet sophisticated blossom.

Though the collection includes daisy, sunflower and rose designs, I fell in love with the cherry blossom one; it’s so feminine and iconic. Not only is the necklace understated but beautiful, but it also comes packaged on an earth-friendly backer card made of “seed paper,” so the wearer can plant the card and grow their own springtime blossoms. I love the necklace as a self-purchase, but I also mailed a few out to my friends. It’s a unique gift that really comes full circle.

Staff Spotlight Pick: Mixed Pearl Stretch Bracelet by Zenzii

This stretchable bracelet from wholesale jewelry maker Zenzii features a string of multi-size pearlescent beads accented with a gold Zenzii charm and alternating gold beads. Perfect for everyday wear, the Mixed Pearl Stretch Bracelet’s faux pearls are scratch resistant and finished with a high-luster coating. The entire bracelet is nickel and lead compliant as well, making it a safe, hypoallergenic accessory choice. Pair the bracelet in your display with a trending stack of gold charm necklaces or match it up with one of Zenzii’s many other pearl jewelry styles.

Zenzii, which supplies fashion jewelry to retailers of all sizes, began in 2008 as an answer to what the company described on its website as the “abundance of delicate lookalike styles dominating the marketplace” and the high price points observed among those styles and makers. Striving to create an alternative, Georgia-based Zenzii focuses on designing and making “colorful, high-fashion statement pieces that can’t be found anywhere else, artfully crafted with premium materials and fairly priced.”

Adelaide Elliott’s Pick: Silver Blue Crystals Filigree Earring by Rain Jewelry

If you see me wearing any jewelry day-to-day, there is a good chance it will be earrings. I don’t enjoy wearing bracelets or rings as I find they impede my typing and writing, and though I do love a good necklace from time-to-time, earrings are still my go-to choice because they are easy to wear and switch out. Thankfully, that is a fact about me that my friends and family know well, so every holiday season when I unwrap a jewelry box, I know there is going to be a new pair of earrings inside!

During this past holiday season, one of my favorite gifts was a pair of Rain Jewelry Collection earrings given to me as part of a gift basket from a family friend. The teardrop-style earrings, Rain Jewelry Collection’s Silver Blue Crystals Filigree Earring, feature a delicate silver filigree design inlayed with a number of colorful faux crystals in shades of blue. The earrings are not very large, but they catch the light beautifully thanks to their crystals and add a little extra feminine glitz and glam to any outfit I wear with a little blue in it.
