I recently sat down with Gemvara founder Matt Lauzon and was fascinated by this 25 year-old entrepreneur’s cool choose-your-own-adventure type of jewelry site. You choose your own piece (ring, earrings, necklace, etc.), then pick a metal, and finally select a gemstone. The combos are infinite. Gemvara has generously offered up one sterling silver initial key necklace (valued at $215) for one lucky Beauty Blogging Junkie reader. The pendant was actually inspired by the key necklace Leighton Meester was sporting on the set of this seasonβs Gossip Girl. The winner will email me the initial she wants and Gemvara can customize itΒ and it will ship within two to three weeks.
2. Leave me a comment telling me your favorite jewelry trends this fall and include your email address, i.e. yourname[at]gmail[dot]com.
OR
3. Follow me and Gemvara on Twitter (@glambr) and (@gemvara) RT: Follow @glambr and @gemvara RT to enter to win a Gemvara.com sterling silver initial pendant.
The deadline is Friday, October 22 and 11:59pm. The winner will be emailed on Monday, October 25.
This is the necklace that I have been looking for a long time!

I am starting my own “trend” of wearing vintage earbobs as shoe clips..they are affordable, still easy to find, versatile, and give me the ability to change my every day heels to sparkle..with bakelite, rhinestones, glitter..
love them!

“In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.” -Thomas Jefferson
Who knew Thomas Jefferson could give such good advice for following trends?! This season I’m really into:
-Making bold statements!
Oversized cocktail rings, chunky cuffs, and of course the “statement necklace”
-Motifs and Imagery!
I’ve seen a lot of strong imagery this season including snakes, birds, elephants and coins!
-COLOR!
Rich purples and deep greens seem to really be standing out this season. Accenting these colors with teal and fuchsia and you get a killer combination!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I’m loving the trend of crystal rings. They’re inexpensive & versatile. They look great for a night out but also for a day at work. And they come in all colors,shapes & sizes.
I love the big statement necklaces with vintage brooches – they can really dress up a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt! Thanks for the chance to win!
