Oscar Glamour in Suburbia

Oscar Glamour in Suburbia --Jewelry For The Stars

So you want to watch the Oscars and have a little glam for the evening. Oscar cocktail parties are becoming the latest fad in suburbia.
But what’s a gal to do? Black dress—no problem. High heeled pumps—pull out the Manolo Blahnik look a likes and don’t forget to grab that fabulous French clutch.
Sounds perfect doesn’t it? Yes, but where’s a gal to get the Crown Jewels? Well you could go to Nordstroms, Saks, Chanel, or YSL and spend a month’s salary on a pair of earrings or you can hire the services of a jewelry stylist and “borrow” your fabulous Bijouterie primed and ready to walk down the red carpet.

A jewelry stylist acts as your personal jewelry consultant and can provide you with your Starlet accoutrements for a fraction of the cost over purchasing jewelry.
A skilled jewelry stylist will be able to listen and address your accessory needs taking into consideration the outfit, event and personal tastes.

Owners of Vintage Jewelry Collect says that “Selecting jewelry can be a very challenging proposition especially when the client wants something dramatic and unique.”

The folks at VJC should know as their services have been requested numerous times by Conde Nast’s “Vogue Italia.” The stylists have worked with renowned International Fashion Stylist Edward Enninful by providing jewelry for both fashion editorials and print ads. Their jewelry has been photographed by fashion photographer greats such as Steven Meisel and Michael Thompson and worn by numerous stars including Catherine DeNeuve, Pam Anderson, Naomi Campbell, Carmen Electra and many others.

They continue by saying, “It’s quite rewarding to do what we do. It’s like playing dress up and it’s our job to create wonderful choices for our client such that she can feel absolutely stunning.”

Jewelry stylists such as the professionals at VJC pull pieces for clients from vintage jewelry collections. “We prefer using vintage jewelry for a number of reasons. The first is that most likely no one else will be wearing the same piece. Second, for the real bling bling, the old vintage stones are far superior to most jewelry on the market today. It embodies the glamor of Hollywood in the 1930’s and 1940’s.” They also note that many of their pieces are from those eras and provide Hollywood costume designers and wardrobe stylists with historically accurate jewelry props for film.
