The ladies of hit TV shows were dressed to impress last night at the 61st Emmy awards. There were all sorts of dress styles from low cuts, to one shouldered. Then there was the stunning costume jewellery (or diamond jewellery in their case!) that was understated in that there was either one crystal bracelets and a pair of chandelier earrings or a statement necklace and cocktail ring for example.

Many ladies decided to have their hair up and out of their face to look. Mila Kunis had her hair tied back, and wore a stunning burgundy gown, with crystal chandelier earrings and a crystal bracelet. Then there was the mum-to-be Heidi Klum wore a beautiful black figure hugging Marchesa gown, with beautiful black chandelier earrings. Then there was Olivia Wilde’s skin showing dress. She kept her costume jewellery simple with crystal earrings and a crystal bracelet.

What did you think of this year’s ladies at the Emmy’s and their dresses and costume jewellery!?

The television equivalent of the Academy Awards is happening today and we are so excited! We can’t wait to see all those glamorous television stars on the red carpet wearing their stunning gowns and costume jewellery and fashion jewellery. Ok, so their crystal jewellery will be real diamonds, but we do see the odd costume jewellery piece on a celebrity or two.

We can’t wait to see what Eva Longoria Parker will wear this year, or even Sandra Oh from Greys Anatomy. But we do think the trend of large statement necklaces that’s look like collar necklaces, which we have seen on next season’s catwalks, will be a real trend. Also, following on from the VMA’s we think we will see chandelier earrings, or just crystal earrings paired up with a cuff bracelet or a cocktail ring.

Look out for our blog tomorrow on all the costume jewellery and fashion jewellery updates from the red carpet!

Costume Jewellery trends at the MTV VMA’s

The VMA’s were on just under a week ago, and we all know about the Kanye West incident, but we are here to make sure that he has not out-shone the gorgeous red carpet dresses and red carpet costume jewellery. And to start with, let’s talk about Taylor Swifts amazing floor length gown, the only girl to wear a floor length gown at the VMA’s may I add, and may I add her chandelier earrings were stunning.
Then there was Beyonce, who in my books looked the best! In a short red dress, with curly brown hair how much more fabulous can this girl look! Oh and did you see her beautiful costume jewellery? Stacked up bangles and large chandelier earrings were the must have fashion jewellery it looks like.
And we can’t finish off without talking about Pink’s EBay dress that Shakira’s stylist said was a one off and therefore ended up wearing the same as each other!!! But again, the trend in costume jewellery and fashion jewellery was the statement earrings and statement bracelet.

Crystal costume jewellery today

Crystal jewellery can be worn on many different occasions. It can be worn as wedding jewellery, prom jewelry or Christmas party jewellery. The great thing about crystal jewellery is that it really does help you stand out in a crowd, and on most occasions this is what you want, especially if you want that someone special to notice you ;)

Crystal jewelry can come in many different colours. This is great if needing crystal costume jewellery as bridesmaids jewellery as then you can match the bridesmaids dress to the bridesmaids costume jewellery, whether its hair accessories or bridesmaids handbags. The other great thing about crystal jewellery is that it sparkles gorgeously in any light and can look stunning on absolutely anyone!

So buy yourself some crystal costume jewellery today and stand out in the crowd!

As you can see Shefaly stocks the most widest range of costume jewellery and hair accessories ever seen on the web, and to be honest in a lot of high street stores as well (apart from the ones that actually stock Shefaly Costume jewellery of course :) ).

One of the most common enquiries we get is what costume jewellery and hair accessories suit a particular type of hair colour. It can be difficult to chose your hair accessories and costume jewelry, especially if you have recently changed your hair colour so we decided to write a blog on it!

For blondes, we recommend hair accessories and costume jewelry that will add a bit of colour. So baby pink and jet black hair accessories and fashion jewellery are a must have. For brunettes, going for clear crystal hair accessories is fabulous as it really does contrast against your hair. Or try topaz crystal costume jewellery for a real sparkle. Finally, red heads can go for greens and golds as they glisten so well against your hair.

Winter is well and truly on its way- are you all feeling the chill at night as much as I am!? Will we know that many brides love to have winter weddings, especially around Christmas time, so Shefaly feels it’s important that a bride chooses her costume jewellery and hair accessories appropriately for this coming season too as it’s easy to get wrong.

As a winter bride, your theme is probably going to be something wintery like Christmas, or snow etc. As you will most likely have a gorgeous faux fur stole or coat, so you need to make sure your costume jewellery stands out as much as possible, because under all those layers, the costume jewellery could get lost!

So why not try a stunning daisy in crystal necklace and earring set, or the very popular crystal belle necklace and earring set? But we feel any costume jewellery will look stunning at a winter wedding!

Vintage costume jewellery is one type of costume jewellery that every woman must own. Whether its vintage hair accessories, vintage necklace or vintage earrings, as far as costume jewellery goes, you should have at least one piece in your jewellery box.

Vintage costume jewellery gives you an old world charm, and can look like something out of the film “Coco before Chanel”. You know the look I mean, elegant, sophisticated and glamorous. Or some vintage costume jewellery can make you look like Marilyn Monroe: sexy, enchanting and irresistible.

Put a vintage brooch on your coat lapel, or wear a pair of vintage crystal earrings on your wedding day, but whatever you do buy some affordable costume jewellery and make sure its vintage costume jewelry so you are en vogue!

Store Costume Jewellery Safely

jewellery_box for costume jewellery

Whats the best way to keep your costume jewellery safe? How can you keep it from not getting damaged, scratched or broken?

It will seem obviously, but sometimes you have to be told the basics! We would recommend you store costume jewellery in what is was sent to you in. In our case that would be the strong shefaly gift box. If you are not given anything to store it in, the use a jewellery box of some type. Its also wise to wrap in tissue paper to avoid jewellery clashing, as this can cause scratching and damage.

However, also make sure that its kept in a safe enough place that the box does not fall! if that happens there is sure to be some damage!

Take care of your jewellery!

Love, Shefaly
