Last month I received an email from AíKan Bijoux to review a bracelet set from their couture jewelry collection. Of course I agreed to do a review; what girl wouldn’t want to review jewelry?!

When I opened the box from AíKan Bijoux, my first reaction to the black bracelet set was “this is cute!”  The bracelet set is from the Knight Collection and features black faceted cut stones that create a shimmer effect with rhinestones and charms.  One bracelet features the word LOVE, a message we could all use right now.

Because the bracelet set is all black, it can be worn in both a casual and formal environment.   I can easily wear this set to to work, on the weekend to brunch or with a cocktail dress for an evening event.  I received the set right on time; the bracelets went perfect with an outfit I wore to a holiday party Saturday night.

The collection boats 100% genuine agate gemstones. Each hand crafted bracelet is custom made in the USA.  All bracelets are made with durable stretch material, eliminating the need for a clasp, so they’ll fit most wrist.  However, AíKan Bijoux does offer custom sizing if necessary.

I look forward to wearing my new bracelet set again and one lucky reader will get a chance to enjoy the same set too!

If you’d like a chance to win the black bracelet set above, follow these simple steps:

1. Like A Diva State of Mind and AíKan Bijoux on Facebook.

2. Leave a comment below letting me know you liked both pages

The giveaway ends on Friday, December 21, 2012 at 11:59pm.  I want to make sure you receive the set by next week just in time to wear for the new year!

Good luck!

In February I attend the Mdurvwa Collection launch event. Created by Deborah Mdurvwa, the Mdurvwa Collection features a variety of bold pieces including color block earrings (just in time for spring), glitter earrings, gold chain necklaces and body chains.  Pieces from the collection have been worn by Love & Hip Hop Erica Mena, R&B singer Mya, Sunni from WPGC and many more!

To celebrate the launch of the collection, A Diva State of Mind has teamed up with Mdurvwa to give away TWO pairs of the Glitterazi earrings. That’s right; this time there will be two winners for the giveway!

A few months ago I attended a Stella & Dot trunk show.  I had heard of Stella & Dot before but wasn’t too familiar with the company and the jewelry pieces they offered.   Too bad I didn’t pay attention sooner!  Stella & Dot has some great statement pieces in their collection at a variety of price points, making the collection affordable for everyone!

For the trunk show, I was asked by the Stella & Dot stylist to create four looks using pieces from the spring collection.  If you have purchased Stella & Dot jewelry this year or are considering doing so, here are a few suggestions on how to wear some of the most popular jewelry pieces from this season’s collection.

If you are interested in viewing more pieces or would like to host a trunk show, please click here or contact Timika Waldron at (301) 244-8837.

Accessories are key if you want to take an outfit to the next level.  If you’ve seen pictures of people wearing multiple bracelets and rings at once but never thought you could pull the look off, check out this cool video by celebrity stylist Monica Rose for LEAF tv.  In under 2 minutes, she demonstrates how to layer jewerly.   The key is to mix metals and textures.

To call the Laureluxe collection a collection of statement pieces would be an understatement to describe this jewelry collection.  When you shop Laureluxe Metal Couture & Jewelry, you’ll not only find silver and gold necklaces, rings and earrings, you can also find dresses, hoodies and even bras.  The collection also includes leg jewelry (something I’ve never seen before).  The accessories are  described as edgy, chic metal couture designed from recycled aluminum geometric shapes.

 While most of the over-the-top pieces are not appropriate for the work place, you can definitely be bold and wear them during a night out on the town.  You’ll definitely turn heads, make a statement and you may even become the center of attention. Now who wouldn’t want that?!

If you’re going to make a bold move and wear these pieces, be sure to wear them over a black canvas.  The jewelry speaks for itself, so adding any other color just isn’t necessary.
