Emerald Green with Envy

May is the month to leave your friends Emerald Green with Envy. Countless fun celebrations as well as Spring are associated with this month; Cinco de Mayo, The Kentucky Derby, Mother's Day, Roberta's birthday and Memorial Day.

May's birthstone is the emerald which means love and success. Who doesn't need and want more love and success in their life!

For a long time wearing emeralds seemed out-dated and stodgy until the beautiful Angelina Jolie sashayed down the red carpet wearing an amazing pair of emerald earrings and a gorgeous emerald ring . She took the fashion industry by surprise and to a new level. For the first time it was not about the dress it was all about her emerald jewelry. From that very moment emeralds made a come back like no other fine gem has ever made in history. RobertaChiarella.com makes it easy to leave your friends Emerald Green with Envy with beautiful, sparkling affordable crystal jewelry. 

Angie's Earrings

Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet flowery month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and happy wife 

Inspiration

When I first moved to NYC and went to Parson's School of Design - I lived downtown and fell in love with the streets of SoHo. I discovered 2 places that became my favorite's - Keith Haring's Pop Shop and the Sally Hawkins Gallery featuring the work of jewelry designer Bill Schiffer. Although they were very different artists - their work had so much in common; a very strong bold look filled with bright colors.

Today I was looking at my collection of amazing jewels from Bill Schiffer’s Crystal Collectables and I was overwhelmed to see how strong the influence was so many years later in my own work. I sparkled them up and snapped a pic - I love them as much today as the day I bought them.

Bright,Bright and Brighter

We asked our New York City blogger Alexa LaRosa to hit the streets of Manhattan to explore Spring trends! This season are we are seeing neon brights and color blocking especially in accessories.First stop LIM College where Taylor is wearing a neon pink necklace with Swarovski Elements. Alexa is wearing the color blocked abbie girl earrings from RobertaChiarella.com in fuscia/coral. These are both different ways to add neons and brights to any basic outfit and are great ways to accessories for spring. Visit www.robertachiarella.com for more very colorful spring essentials !
