Beauty

Ran across a site offering some very unique jewelry. I am not a big jewelry person, so when I do wear it, I like it to be a little off the beaten path. Here at Leviticus this is exactly what you will find.

The designer here is Tara Levitin, and her mission is to create jewelry that forces people to ask ?Where did you get that??. These are charming pieces, pun intended, that feature words to live by and unique charms that carry meaning and significance. Her goal is to make pieces that cater to each woman and help accentuate her beauty. Have a look at some of the ones that jumped out at me, you will see what I mean.

First up, well, I never in my wildest imagined I would be showcasing casket parts on this site, but here you go.  This piece actually HAS those, with a casket handle holding front and center on this one. This kind of creeps me out, but I have to say, I love it. This will definitely have people talking. And you know nobody is showing up at the party with this one.  Wear something like this with very simple solid colors, this piece will be the centerfold of your outfit.  Jeans and a long tunic would be great. Sandals or flats for day, heels for night.  Wear your hair up to really accentuate this.  Again, minimize everything, this piece does all the work for you. Your outfit is done.

I like this with the keys, very simple, and very elegant.  I see something like this with a very Victorian type of outfit.  Think ruffles, long flowy skirt. Don’t like skirts?  Tailored trousers or jeans will work too.  Don’t go too Victorian here though, keep your neckline nice and open to show this one off.  In the winter, throw this over a turtleneck, solid color.

This one is called Lobster and is based on the premise that Lobsters mate for life.  If you haven’t found your mate yet, wear this until you do.  If you have, share the other half of your charm with your mate.  I think this one calls for an open neckline as well.  You can add some other pieces to this, bangly earrings, bangly bracelets, and stay in the silver family for all of them.  What you wear with this one won’t matter much, this will go with everything.  The only no-no here would be a halter top or dress.

I love love LOVE this one and how the necklace actually goes up the side of your neck.  This one actually contains a disk with each of the 10 commandments written on them. Kind of odd and cool all at the same time. I don’t even care personally what the disks say, because this design is beautiful.  You want to show this one off in a strapless number, or a very wide open neckline, scooped preferably.

Check them all out at Leviticus.  You will also find here earrings and bracelets on top of the one of a kind collection and necklaces.

This one might just be my favorite, but I think I said that about 10 times the first time I browsed the site. It’s called Pink Dragon Eye and you can see why. A 6/8 x 1 ? inch beautiful sterling silver bezel set pink dragon eye dichroic glass pendant with a swirl on top. Stunning!
