What do we mean when we say "make a statement"? Is it a desperate plea for attention? Or a unique way to express our style? To SoHo designer Alexis Bittar, "making a statement" is a part of work. With his GORGEOUS jewelry and unique statement, the designer has been featured at Nordstrom and Saks.
Unfortunately, SoHo rent is expensive, so Mr. Bittar charges a few hundred dollars for his fabulous earrings and necklaces.
So, today's mission is to find similar chic and wild statement pieces without the wild prices.
I started with Stephen&Co, a jewelry maker with pieces in the $6-20 range, which is fairly affordable for the average consumer. The knockoff is loving these supercute teardrop beads with a bib chain.
If you're willing to go a bit higher in terms of price, the next step up is probably Spring Street Design Group who makes edgy and adorable (an odd combination) jewelry.
Is this panda ring not adorable but like super hipster? Remember, these are Nordstrom exclusive, so I would suggest the website (nordstrom.com) which also has a handy little "Is this item available near you" checker that has saved me a few miles many times.
Last but not least, let's venture to hipster heaven: Urban Outfitters. Again, you'd definitely be moving up pricewise (from Stephen&Co.), but these 25th Floor Urban Outfitters Exclusive urban-bohemian hipster pieces are totally worth it. The rustic Native American influences are really catchy and easy to embellish a solid tee or blouse with. We're loving these thunder rock earrings.
So even though I have a major style crush on Alexis Bittar....meh, I could do better.
