NY BRIDAL MARKET: Bea Valdes - Drop Dead Gorgeous Jewelry

A few years ago, I discovered the jewelry of an amazing designer, Bea Valdes and I posted about the Bea Valdes line available at Couture Lab. We also shared her with the readers of our sister site, The Capitol Fashionista, in this post.

I fell hard.

So imagine my surprise to walk into one of the showrooms during Bridal Market to find the Bea Valdes line (her sister is her rep) right in my face. I was moved. It was good to know that her pieces are as incredibly beautiful in person as the jewelry appeared in those lovely photographs. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. I wanted to take home everything. I made sure to tell her sister that I was her number one fan.

Here are some of the pieces that were on display (including a waistcoat that I would love to have in my closet). You can see her entire collection on Couture Lab or on her web site. You will be able to not only view her beautiful jewelry but her amazing evening bags, waistcoats, and belts.

WEDDING JEWELRY: MsBellezza + Bling = Gorgeous Bride

After watching the William and Kate's wedding this morning, as well as a documentary on the late Princess Diana's jewelry, I could not wait to tell you about MsBellezza's jewelry line.

I totally got to feast my eyes on these gorgeous pieces - up close and personal. When I opened the boxes, I was blown by all of the sparkle. It was full of that bling that brides love so much. Oh hell, the bling that I love so much!!! Using Swarovski crystals, semiprecious stones, and exquisite metal and beadwork in the design of each piece, MsBellezza Jewelry [miz-be-LET-za] will help the bride, bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom bring on the bling.

What made me even more excited to share this line with you was because of the prices. I could not believe that most of the pieces in this jewelry line fall under $200. There are a few pieces in their Premiere Collection that are over $300 but rightfully so. But you can own a stunning piece of jewelry for your wedding day that definitely will not break the bank.

Here are the pieces that I viewed. Most pieces are from the Statement Jewelry or Premiere Collections:

Come Over & Over, $140.00


The Betty, $120.00


Secret Garten, $40.00

NY BRIDAL MARKET: Erin Cole Brings The Glamour

This almost never happens to me. But while we were checking out everything in the Intercontinental, I had to stop by one of my favorite jewelry and hair accessories designer, Erin Cole. When I walked in the door, I did not notice the tall, beautiful designer. But as I was perusing her new gems, she said to me, "Hi, I'm Erin." To that I replied, "The...?" She just laughed.

It was so lovely to meet the woman behind this incredible brand. I have been a fan of Erin Cole for as long as I can remember. So I could not wait to show you her new pieces. Can you believe that I took these photos with my iPhone? It really serves as a great little camera for me when I need to get a shot quickly. Anyhoo, you will need to see these for yourself. Find an Erin Cole store or retailer near you.

NY BRIDAL MARKET COVERAGE: Accessories Option with Brides Revisited and MEG Jewelry

I took a much needed break from wedding dresses to scout accessories. I headed on over to Pier 94. Pier 94 was massive. To my delight, I finally met the lovely Meg Lammers of MEG Jewelry in person. Meg created my wedding jewelry (many moons ago) for me and my bridal party. The pieces were so beautiful. I still wear it to this day. Of course, her bridal line was gorgeous. You will totally find something that will add the perfect touch for your wedding dress.

Looking for a gorgeous headpiece? Brides Head Revisited has just the right one for you. I love the bling. Their pieces were unique, especially the hair flowers. I can never get enough of flower hairpins. It's such a quick and easy way to add glamour to your wedding day attire.
