We're Hot for Hoops

While it may not be scorching in Berkeley, it's certainly steamy everywhere else! The hot weather is something to be desired when you're dressing for a wedding or other formal event. That's why we love keeping our jewelry minimal during these hot months and something like a classic gold hoop is perfect! Paired with a colorful dress, these earrings compliment the outfit in that cool, casual way we all love!

What is Old is New Again...

This old adage is something we swear by at M.Lowe & Co. Gorgeous jewelry is gorgeous jewelry, it doesn't matter when it was crafted. In fact, we love estate jewelry here at the store. Estate jewelry has a story, a history, a personality that comes through when you wear the piece. Featured below are some new pieces that just came into the store, both date back to 1900...just imagine where they've been...

Rubies: The King of Jewels As the birthstone for July, the ruby is a gorgeous gemstone that has been revered for centuries, especially by royalty. Oddly named, the most desired color of a ruby is known as "piegon's blood," a pure red with only a hint of blue, found only in the mines of Burma. Known for romance and devotion, the ruby makes for a great engagement ring or anniversary gift if you're looking for something a bit more unique than the classic diamond!

Colors of the Season

In need of a hair appointment and don't have the time...well don't worry all you need is a great necklace and you're all set! Wearing a brightly colored necklace that complements your skin tone and hair color can do wonders! Pair a turquoise piece with a fuchsia colored shirt, or highlight a multicolored necklace with a more simply colored shirt. Bringing the stones' richness and color close to your face will make you shine, leaving no one asking about those roots ;)

More Jewelry Layers, More Fun

Much like how a cake is more enticing with more layers so can jewelry! Why limit yourself to one piece when you can wear multiple pieces for impact? The trick is keeping the pieces smaller and complementary...whether you base it on color, texture or metal, it doesn't matter, just as long as the look is cohesive and fun. But remember, we're not Madonna, so don't wear every necklace you own at once!

Summer Statement

As summer is fast approaching, one can't help but get excited for the season. One of our favorite things about the summer is the ease that comes with getting ready for a night out. Tousled hair and minimal makeup replace the hour long sessions that usually accompany the other seasons. Ease is also felt in choosing what to wear...a simple tank and jeans can take you any where. Now the fun part is choosing the jewelry that will make you stand out...your statement piece. Whether it's a necklace or a fun cocktail ring, mixing up your jewelry can make any outfit something to talk about!
