Choose Unique Jewelry for Stunning Patriotic Fashion

The parade and fireworks are obviously big attractions during Lake Forest’s annual 4th of July festivities, but people-watching is definitely a close third. When thousands of people come together on the streets of our little town, it’s a great time to see and be seen.

Unique jewelry is a great way to stand out in the crowd. Hot trends you need to know about:

Big, Bold & Blue: Sienna Miller and Miroslava Duma brought the ‘big is better’ approach to accessories to runways earlier this year and fashionistas everywhere have paid attention. Look for bold statement rings on all the best-dressed fingers. We love this sterling silver, marcasite and abalone ring for the 4th –the rich true blue speaks directly to the patriotic heart. 

Radiant Rubies: The fiery crimson of rubies is a near-perfect match for the red stripes in our flag. Gild the lily by pairing them with diamonds, as in these eye-catching stacking rings. Another look you’ll want to consider: Bracelets. Bracelets are absolutely the accessory of choice this summer: the stacked look, with four to six bangles or wrap-style bracelets worn on one wrist, is absolutely everywhere right now.

One of a Kind: If there’s one thing that defines Americans, it’s our individualism. We like to do things our own way. That’s certainly true when it comes to fashion. Increasing numbers of people are skipping the cookie-cutter chain store jewelers to seek out more unique looks. Previously enjoyed jewelry is a great way to get beautiful pieces from the world’s top designers – names like Tiffany and Cartier – for a fraction of the price. 

Discovering your own one-of-a-kind patriotic look can help ensure that this year, the fireworks won’t get all of the attention.  The time is right to come explore what our showcases hold for you!
