In the 1960’s monogram pins, necklaces and sweaters were all the rage. This personalization trend enjoyed a resurgence in the 1980’s and then again when Carrie Bradshaw wore her “Carrie” necklace on HBO’s hit TV series “Sex and The City.” In 2012, the personalization trend has resurfaced and fashion-savvy women everywhere are pulling out their monogram necklaces from the “Sex and The City” era and wearing them proudly.

This time around, monogram’s have a taken a modern turn and no longer reflect one’s own personal initials. With vintage clothing and accessories being popular, many Fashionistas are wearing monograms they picked up in thrift or vintage shops as well as inherited or borrowed from an older relative. In addition to monograms no longer reflecting one’s personal initials, fashion-savvy women are wearing monograms in new and unexpected ways in order to reflect their own personal style rather than the trends from the 1980’s or 1960’s.

That being said, Twisted Silver has debuted a fabulous and innovative jewelry piece which reflects the current monogram trend in a new and unexpected way; the “Monogram Bracelet!”

The new “Monogram Bracelet” from Twisted Silver features a vintage 1960’s monogram pin which has been repurposed into a fabulous and bold bracelet. This beautiful vintage piece is worn alone on the wrist and showcases a fusion between vintage and modern style. Love that!

The “Monogram Bracelet” is made from beautiful raw brass and offers a golden tone which works perfectly with the fall/winter 2012/2013 color palette as well as the bright color trend which will be coming up in spring/summer 2013. The brass color and bold nature of Twisted Silver’s “Monogram Bracelet” allows this piece to be worn casually with jeans or dressy with a fabulous evening ensemble. Versatility = Fabulous!

Warm fall day with Twisted Silver’s new Compass necklace

October 24, 2012 in Bay Area Fashion / Eco Chic / General Fashion / Jewelry / Local Designers tagged fall 2012 / outfits / twisted silver by Bay Area Fashionista

Autumn is upon us and one of the fabulous things about the mild fall weather is that we can wear layers, sweaters and longer silhouettes than we generally wear in the warm summer months. With longer apparel comes the need for long jewelry in order to balance out our silhouettes.

Twisted Silver has designed a new necklace for the fall season called the “Compass” necklace. This simple, elegant and timeless necklace is perfect for the fall season. The “Compass” necklace offers a long brass chain with a compass-like design surrounding a dark blue crystal. The necklace itself takes its inspiration from an adventurous voyage and the shade of blue happens to fit perfectly in the fall/winter 2012 blue trend. Love that!

The “Compass” necklace from Twisted Silver is a wardrobe basic which can be worn with both casual and dressy attire. The necklace can go from a lazy Sunday in jeans to being paired with a blazer at the office. Love this!

Twisted Silver’s “Compass” necklace is priced at $50 and debuts online today. The “Compass” necklace can be found at Twisted-Silver.com. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Epic bracelet from Twisted Silver offers Steampunk flair for fall

October 17, 2012 in Bay Area Fashion / Eco Chic / Jewelry / Local Designers tagged bracelets / fall 2012 / steampunk / twisted silver by Bay Area Fashionista

Steampunk, a sub-culture and art genre which takes its’ inspiration from Victorian era technology (in simple terms), has a growing influence on art and fashion. The new “Epic” bracelet from Bay Area jewelry design house Twisted Silver offers Steampunk flair which is easy to incorporate into both a Victorian inspired ensemble as well as any fall 2012 look. Love that!

The “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver features three distinct stations which evoke both an industrial revolution vibe and a feminine vibe. This bracelet could easily be worn with one of fall’s hot lace dresses, a rocker-chic ensemble or a simple, little black dress. Of course, the “Epic” bracelet would also be the perfect way to complete a fabulous Steampunk outfit for a Steampunk event such as the upcoming “Steampunk World’s Fair” in May 2013!

Personally, I love the “Epic” bracelet stacked with a leather wrap bracelet. This beautiful piece also looks fabulous alone for dressier occasions; as mentioned before-the perfect way to spice up a little black dress! For more casual occasions, the “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver looks amazing with Twisted Silver’s“Rag” bracelets. Love this!
The “Epic” bracelet from Twisted Silver is available starting today at Twisted-Silver.com and is priced at $100. Use coupon code INSIDERS for a 15% discount.
