You Need To Know About…Alanna Bess

alanna bess bracelets

I’m a self-admitted jewelry hoarder.  I can’t resist the shiny, sparkly items that upgrade an outfit instantly.

It’s a problem.  And when you’re friends with jewelry designers like Alanna, it’s dangerous for my wallet and my dresser top, which is littered with baubles.

In a space that’s crowded with inexpensive statement pieces and out-of-budget “less is more” items, Alanna stands alone.  Her pieces are crafted with semi-precious stones and set in 18K gold-plated sterling silver.  Every piece is incredibly lightweight – including her statement earrings.

Did I mention her jewelry also bring good luck?  I wore her signature Isle of Capri necklace (as a belt) and her tassel earrings the night I got engaged.

While her items are pricer than the Bauble Bar or Capwell gems I often share, they’re also worth it.

And for the next week, they’re on sale on Gilt.

Nothing says summer like a stack of wooden bracelets, a simple pair of drops, and a long stone necklace.  Get shopping.
