Let the necklace do its thing...

It’s supposed to make a statement, dress simply so all the attention is on your necklace.

A classic, unfussy sheath dress, leg-lengthening nude pumps and a smart, chic tote paired with your necklace makes the perfect, versatile look you can wear to work and beyond.

Such a pretty multi-strand beaded necklace makes a great contrast to any outfit. Wear it twisted for a braided look or worn as a multi row mix of glass and semi precious beads. It's a modern look to your personality and a funky playfulness to your wardrobe!

Make a statement -- keep your outfit simple and let the necklace do all the work, and don't be afraid to repeat the same piece over and over.

This is one time that you want people to remember what you wore the last time they saw you...

PUT A RING ON IT

If bling is your thing, this is your must-have accessory. Embrace your accessories, as it’s time to be bold, daring and adventurous!

These rings will make a statement and make the feel of your outfit completely different! Each stretch ring has sturdy elastic inside rows of small metal bars, for a ring that stretches to fit you perfectly... ONE SIZE fits all!

Blue flower cabochon ring, made in the adjustable style. Flowers are so pretty, this ring can dazzle up anyone's finger and won't go un-noticed.

If you are looking for a chunky and unique ring then this is the perfect ring for you. Pave stones surround this heart in colors of Ruby or Crystal. So bright, fun, and shiny.

Sometimes size totally matters...especially when it comes to cocktail rings.

Everyone has a different story to tell...

Have you ever stopped to look closely at someone’s charm bracelet? Have you ever wondered what inspired them to pick certain charms?

Maybe they picked them up on vacation. Maybe they all relate to a theme. Maybe it's an eclectic mix of hearts, stars, or flowers. Or pets. Or crosses. Sports. Peace signs. Celestial symbols. Awareness ribbons. Oh, I could go on and on!

Jewelry has their season of style just like bags and clothes. Women love and bags as part of their fashion sense, jewelry is equally needed by women too. Charm inspired jewelry is one of the kinds of jewelry that we love since it can easily be paired to simple or grand get-up.

Pretty enough to wear on special occasions, and cool enough to wear out with the ladies. We love that there are so many different charms for the music lover, queen of hearts and the darling angels are sure to win your heart!

The charm collections are incorporated with vibrant glass beads of blue, berry, jet and crystal combination. Charm inspired bracelets, necklaces and earrings make great conversation starters since everyone has a different story to tell.

A treasure chest of personality to wear everyday!

Hoops with CHARM...

There are very few pieces of jewelry that can go with everything, but one type that can are hoop earrings.

No matter what you are wearing, you can just throw on a pair of these, and you are good to go. The reason why these go with everything is because they play off of whatever you are wearing.



If you are dressed up, they look stunning without taking away from what you are wearing. However, if you are dressed down, these can look simple yet still sexy.

An eclectic mix of charms, opaque and transparent glass beads mixed with vinyl discs dangles from these hoops, offering a cheeky update on a classic.

These unique black disc shaped beads are made from recycled vinyl record albums. Recycling materials and transforming them into fashion accessories are a win-win situation!

Hoop earrings can be used at work or at play. For everyday wear or for special occasions such a formal party, anniversary, wedding or birthday party, hoop earrings will surely fit in whatever outfit you choose to wear.

With a pair of Levi's and simple top or a fancy, flirty dress, hoop earrings are the perfect accessory.

THE FLEUR DE LIS

The Fleur De Lis symbolizes Royalty, Elegance, Purity and other such ethereal qualities that make it such widely popular symbol.

People from outside New Orleans often ask, "Why do we see so many fleur d lys in New Orleans? What does the fleur mean?"

The fleur de lys has been a symbol of New Orleans since its birth. Fleurs emblazoned French explorer's flag when Nouvelle Orleans was founded in 1717; decorated Mardi Grass Ball invitation in the 1820's; edged silver brooches in the 1890's; decorated marble facades in the 1920's and shine today on the football helmets in the Superdome.

The fleur de lys is the most instantly recognized symbol of New Orleans, and Louisiana. Yet it remains a mysterious emblem veiled by centuries of history. Though we think of the fleur as a modern symbol of New Orleans, artists have been constantly re-interpreting and re-designing, this ancient glyph over the centuries.

The English translation of "fleur-de-lis" (sometimes spelled "fleur-de-lys") is "flower of the lily." This symbol, depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, has many meanings. Traditionally, it has been used to represent French royalty, and in that sense it is said to signify perfection, light, and life.

Gladys Knight jewelry collection is celebrating this unique design heritage while at the same time this delicate and charm inspired necklace has the true essence of the fleur de lis, royalty! And who doesn't want to be royalty....

What a fantastic way to express so many different feelings with a rich historical background.

Go green with recycled glass beads. Recycling never looked and felt so good!

A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to the West African Cooperatives and Artisans who have provided some of the components for the Gladys Knight jewelry collection.

The ability of these workers to sell their products for fair prices allows them to improve their standards of living, afford better nutrition for themselves and their families and provide a better education for their children.


PROCESS: how recycled glass beads are made:

The powder glass technique of making beads is highly developed in West Africa where it's been in use for centuries. Glass is ground into a powder, poured into moulds and baked in kilns. A kiln is prepared - the temperature does not have to be so high for powder glass as the powder fuses together rather than melts. The temperature of the kiln is judged by the color of the flame. Firing is a highly skilled job.

Their color and form invite touch and as each bead is individually made, each is unique.
