Hello guys! It’s a good Tuesday today as we are going to feature another guest post from this blog’s reader.

Today’s featured article showcases a new and pieces of jewelry for various fashionistas.

Here’s the article:

As company, PONO favors style over trends, boldness over blandness. Taking classic designs inspired by vintage costume jewelry, but removing all things garish, PONO’s pieces are sexy and ready to go with just about any outfit, whether for a day at home or night out about. You might spot PONO on a trendy fashionista, or see it around Wall Street among businesswomen toting their briefcases. Either way, we make one-of-a-kind pieces that are classics with a twist; we use traditional forms to meet modern aesthetic demands.

Quality and ethics go hand in hand with our production model, using cow horn and luscious resins in Italian factories adhering to strict environmental regulations.

In the past five years, the demand and attention given to the brand has skyrocketed. So far this year, we’ve been featured in Cosmo, O Magazine, Teen Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Essence, amongst many others. Our pieces have been seen in such movies like “The Devil Wears Prada” and “27 Dresses” and PONO will be appearing all over shows like “Gossip Girl” and “The L Word” in the Fall. Furthermore, we’ve been receiving a steady line of celebrity customers that include the likes of Julianne Moore, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, and Hilary Swank.

With all of this positive attention coming our way, we’ve decided to turn our good fortune into even more positivity by initiating our “Give Love, Practice Peace” campaign. The idea is simple: we pick a charity we admire, design a line of bangles to represent their cause, and then donate a percentage of the sales to the group. So far we have developed three collections to benefit the following groups: The Climate Project, Give a Girl a Chance, and the Natural Resources Defense Council.

What’s especially exciting about this project is that it has spurred our first foray into ecommerce. While PONO is currently sold in over 300 stores across the world, from boutiques to department stores, we have long desired to exercise control over pricing and helping our customers. Now, with our Give Love, Practice Peace eBay store, we are able to do that exactly that. Please visit it at: http://stores.ebay.com/PONO-Accessories.

Unique and stylish, featuring colors for all seasons, and styles for those the most eclectic of tastes, Buji Bijoux is everything the fashion forward woman lives for. Featuring playful themes, free flowing patterns and continuous motion, designer May Chen has created a jewelry line that truly makes a statement.

Noted most for her previous collections, “Starry Night,” and “Love Struck” Chen combines playfulness with sophistication creating the East meets West style that she is known for. Using gold vermeil, silver, and semi-precious stones, each piece of jewelry is a small work of art, inspired by the world around it.

And with the line’s affordable price point, Buji Bijoux has women young and old in love with “Love notes,” the designer’s fourth collection, and toasting to “Gatsby tags,” a cheeky and flirty collection of necklaces inspired by early 18th Century liquor decanters which proclaim their love for “Scotch,” “Whiskey,” and “Bourbon,” among others.

From her childhood in the Asian countryside to items found at a West Village antique shop, Chen is moved to create by her surroundings and weaves her ideas into beautiful necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets that entice the vivacious woman in all of us.

Guest post time again everyone! Here’s a post submitted from a reader who wants to pass along information about jewelry designed called, Love Rocks.

“Love Rocks NY is a contemporary, fine jewelry collection from New York based designer Limor Ratzabi Senker. Her collection features ethically sourced micro-pave diamonds embedded in 14kt gold and platinum pendants, rings, earrings, and bracelets that can be worn at work or play.

Borne from her custom jewelry line, Love Rocks NY came from Limor’s desire to keep the things she is passionate about close to her heart. She wears a J love letter pendant for her son and husband, a Lion of Zion crest, and a hamsa as a protecting hand. Limor challenged herself to create pieces with detail and precision unlike any other designs. Her aptitude and craftsmanship in detailed pave settings, and use of only the finest diamonds and precious metals sets Love Rocks NY apart from all other collections.

The unique matte finish of her pieces, applies a special diamond dust finish for a chic look that is forever fresh and new. The diamonds truly pop against this finish. If you don’t already love rocks, you will.”

So you’ve seen Jordin Sparks and the rest of the stars in their most glamorous and fabulous looks at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards last Sunday. But did you know that Jordin’s eye-catching look wouldn’t be complete without Pantera?

Yep, the American Idol star’ gold feather ear cuff from Pantera Jewels, leant a rock and roll edge to Jordin’s lady-like dress.

Pantera jewels, a new favorite of many stars such as Kim Kardashian, Hayden Panettiere, Paris Hilton and Michelle Yeoh is Hollywood’s newest craving. Pantera, most famous for the ear cuffs (seen here on Jordin) combine glamour with a new symbolic take on the rock and roll look . Using 14 and 18kt gold in every color and diamonds in black or white, these precious jewels are unlike any other.

Pantera fine jewelry collection’s logo is a Black Panther paw, the designer’s favorite animal. The animal’s description: graceful, sleek, exotic and very powerful, fully describes the jewelry line. Each piece has an empowering energy with a deep symbolic meaning and a story behind it. The symbols used by Pantera include the Fleur De Lis, the Malteze Cross, the Angel wing and the Dagger which all have deep historical and symbolic meaning. The feather that Jordin wears here is no exception – feathers have served as symbols of royalty for kings and chiefs. Feathers are also symbols of healing or symbols of sacred power for cultures as far back as the Egyptians, Asian and Celtic eras.

The ear cuff worn here by Jordin is 14 Gold and retails for $900. The ear cuff with the feather charm is detachable and can be worn with any earring. The cuff attaches to the top of the ear without need for piercing.

Remember the guest post I had the other day of Hayden Panettiere wearing Shaesby earrings during her visit at the Letterman Show?

Well here’s another post related to that from a different reader. This time, she shares about Hayden’s pinky ring that day.

Here goes:

“Arriving at the Letterman Show, Hayden Panettiere wears a Pantera Pinky ring with a fleur de lis charm.

For $1,500, this ring is a fun piece to add to any look. Stack them, or wear them alone.

Traditionally, Fleur De Lis has been used to represent French royalty, and in that
sense it is said to signify perfection, light and life. The band is made of 18kt yellow
gold, and the charm is 14k white gold and fully paved with diamonds.

Available from www.panterajewels.com

Available with various different charms: Fleur De Lis, Pantera Paw and Malteze Cross. They can also be custom made in any color gold or diamond. You can clearly see the diamond Fleur De Lis hanging from Hayden’s left index finger!

Fun Fact: This particular ring is so small it is usually worn as a pinky ring however Hayden is so tiny it fit on her index finger.”

August’s out and September’s in. But here in Celebrity Fashion Watch we get you covered from everything that’s in and out… of fashion in Hollywood.

Today, we have another guest post. From a reader who wants to share about Shaesby.

Here goes the post:

“Texas’ own fine jewelry line Shaesby has just been seen worn by Hayden Panetierre last night on her way to the letterman show and out and about NYC.

Shaesby is recognized for sophisticated collections that fuse art with fashion. Innovative designs lend their pieces a unique look that can be worn for any occasion from formal to casual. Each piece of jewelry is made with the intention of complimenting a woman’s beauty.

Hello again guys! Well it has really been a good week from me. Since I started receiving guest posts from readers, I’ve been receiving quite good comments from other readers as well. Thank you!

Anyway, guest posts just kept on coming on my inbox. Here’s another one who’d like to share about a jewelry store called Be.True. :

The signature Be.True jewelry collection boasts a multitude of beautiful earrings, necklaces and rings.

This versatile line combines beautiful mixtures of corrugated shapes with bezel set semi-precious and precious stones, various styles and widths of gold-ridged brass or oxidized distinctive chains.

Gin, the designer of Be True, also uses exotic and rare stones that encourage people, as she explains, “ have a different perception of what jewelry can be made with, allowing people to make their own statement by either layering my delicate yet unique pieces, or wear one of my edgy statement pieces.” She likes to use stones that are so rare, that no one else knows how or where to obtain them. The use of unusual stones set new and unusual ways brings an air of mystery to Be True.

Gin also loves using colors and textures that tell a story, allowing each piece to emerge as a special and classic combination.

Be true is also a “green” ecologically friendly company. Be True strives to maintain as small a carbon footprint as possible, by always using recycled products. Their jewelry is made from recycled silver and gold, their fed ex boxes are recycled and paper in their studio, they even use energy star light bulbs and work stations made of recycled wood.

As part of their Green initiative, they have even created a “Go Green” Tag Necklace which donates a portion if its sales to the Earth Day Network. With every sale Be. True is moving forward to make a difference.

Be True’s newest venture is the “Be” campaign. Every month they will choose a different Charity or Non-Profit group to ‘give back’ to with the proceeds from each sale of the Necklace and Cuff Bracelet with the word “Be” on it.

An inspirational company, Be True are breaking the rules of how to be eco-friendly and conscientious with refreshingly fashion-forward designs. To see some of Be. True’s amazing designs you can log on to www.shopbetrue.com.
