Say "I Do" to the Bling: Liz Law Bridal Jewelry

I hope 2012 is off to a great start for everyone!  If you are one of the many happy couples that got engaged over the holidays- then 1) Congratulations!  and 2) Have you thought about your wedding jewelry yet? :)  You brides have a LOT going on- with nailing down a date, finding a venue, booking the band, and of course finding the PERFECT dress.  Allow me to remove one delicious item from your plate and design your jewelry.  I've customized jewelry for countless brides and bridesmaids, always considering the bride's style, colors, theme, and budget.  In addition to getting exactly what you want at a great price, customized handmade jewelry makes a wonderful gift for your bridesmaids to wear and cherish for years after The Big Day.  To get started, you'll just need to email jewelry@bylizlaw.com.  I'll need to know what kind of style you are looking for, quantity, photos of the dresses, and possibly see swatches if you are looking to color match.  Just shoot me an email with any thoughts you had and we can go from there.  I'm flexible and I'm here to help.  After all, it's your day and it's all about you!

In addition to the custom orders I've done (references available upon request), a few of my inline styles have also gotten some national press!  Check out my pieces in major bridal magazines below. 

My "Divine" earrings in gold made it on the bride in a full page spread in "The Knot."  These gorgeous earrings have been loved by many a bride and bridesmaid.  Also available in silver. 

The Liz Law "Sol Mate" earrings in silver graced the pages of "Brides" magazine.  These earrings are so gorgeous and versatile.  Also available in gold. 

My "Lucy" earrings in red made it the the "Brides" magazine December issue as a way to amp up your bridal party's glam factor.  Also available in topaz brown, sapphire blue, and emerald green. 

'Tis the Season for Events!

It's been a little while since I last blogged!  Things have been great both personally and professionally, and I'm ready for the busy holiday season!  A big part of the season is holiday shopping events.  I had a couple of big private shows in Richmond, VA over the Thanksgiving holiday.  I've posted some pictures below.  And I didn't just eat too much stuffing and pumpkin pie (though this is true)... I actually have my first baby due in March!  :)  

I have a couple other private events on the books as well as an event on Dec 11 in Los Angeles that I am helping to organize that I will be sure to keep you posted about.  As always, if you would like to host an event at your home or venue of your choice, as hostess you will be paid in free jewelry based on 20% of the night's sales.  Not a bad way to get your holiday shopping done!  Just contact me at jewelry@bylizlaw.com to set something up or inquire further. 

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I'm looking forward to celebrating it with you!  I'm honored knowing that some Liz Law Jewelry will be under your tree as a gift to loved ones or on your earlobes as you have fun at your holiday parties.  Happy Holidays, and be sure to sign up for the email list or fan us on Facebook to keep up with all the promotions and events!

So much jewelry to see! 

Ringing people up!

Picture This.

I had another photoshoot this past weekend to get some pics showing how my jewelry can be worn and styled on a model.  I collaborated with a clothing designer, Mae Ho, of Mae Clothing (www.maesdressshop.com) so we could both get images for our respective websites and look books.  Our styles go really well together, and her solid colors and clean yet interesting lines really work well against my jewelry.  We set up a studio in Silverlake for some shots against a clean white background, and then went off to the beautifully creepy old LA Zoo in Griffith Park for some really interesting photo ops.  This place was the Los Angeles zoo from 1912-1965, and many of the enclosures were built in the 1930s by County Relief workers and WPA crews.  A certain eeriness accompanied the small, unkempt enclosures and now graffiti-covered cells that used to be the home of so many animals.  The contrast between what the zoo must have once represented and its present state as an abandoned, decaying animal prison is striking.  Check out a few behind-the-scenes pics from the hot hot LA day below!

Here is our studio set-up!

Time for another jewelry change.  We are actually in an abandoned bear cage at this point.

Beastly Baubles

I've been seeing a lot of animal jewelry lately.  I'm not talking your delicate sparrow charm hanging off your necklace (though this motif is quite pretty as well), but rather BIG, opulent animal jewelry that doesn't hold back.  It often looks vintage-inspired and is always statement making.  Check out this recent trend board from Stylesight I've pasted below.  In my opinion, all of these pieces are to die for- number one on my list being the oh-so beautifully creepy jewel-encrusted Octopus ring/bracelet.  

Life of the Cinco de Mayo Party

I recently found out that some of my earrings were used in a nationally airing commercial!  Actress Busy Phillips wears the appropriately titled "Life of the Party" earrings as she tells us how much she loves Cinco de Mayo in a Pepto-Bismol ad.  These really are the perfect party earrings.  I chose to wear them at the recent Red Cross Red Tie Affair (photos below).  Anyway, without further delay, here is the vid! 

Red Cross Red Tie Affair

The American Red Cross had their annual Red Tie Affair last weekend at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.  I had the opportunity to donate an item to the auction again this year and chose the popular "Crusader" necklace.  

Paris Hilton worked the red carpet! 

Some friends and I on the red carpet.  Liz Law Jewelry represented all around!
