Bedknobs & Baubles chronicles the things I love most: style, interior design, travel and, of course, costume jewelry. I often submit to magpie-like tendencies and have the jewelry collection to prove it.
This feature is dangerously close to becoming the “Necklace of the Week,” but can you really blame me when there are so many stunning options? This week’s bauble is one of my favorites from designer Gerard Yosca. You’ll get to know more about him in an upcoming “Behind the Baubles” and have a chance to win one of his beautiful designs. (Yes, I’m jealous. And, yes, I do expect the winner to take lots of photos to share with me on Instagram!) Stay tuned for more info.

It’s not a secret that I adore Julie Vos’ jewelry. (Actually, “adore” might be too subtle. “Covet,” “obsessed with” and “head-over-heels for” are more accurate.) Julie expertly mixes colored gemstones with classic styles to create pieces that look like precious souvenirs from a faraway marketplace.
Keep in touch with Julie on Twitter and Facebook!
Shop the Highlights: Calypso cuff // Amalfi pendant // Camel ring // Piccolo Cozumel studs // Santorini ring // Byzantine cuff

A statement pendant is a key layering piece for summer and I love the colorful rhinestones crowning the top of this one. It’s a steal at just $24 with LOFT’s current 40% off promotion.
Giveaway Reminders:
Went mod. Admired the first signs of spring. Enjoyed a clear day after weeks of rain. Spent an afternoon at local watering holes. Finally found the perfect pair of pointy black flats. Scooped up a pair of floral shorts. Went to Milwaukee for an overnight getaway. Visited the Milwaukee Brewing Company. Giggled my way through Mindy Kaling’s book. Adored a surprise bouquet of daisies from Dave. Wore this necklace a lot. Pulled out a few springtime accessories.
I’d love to keep in touch with you on Instagram! You can find me at @bedknobsandbaubles.
Reminder! Win a pair of bangle bracelets from Sequin!

Created by Loren Barham, Loren Hope is a jewelry line best described as a modern - and colorful! - approach to vintage. An array of rhinestones, semi-precious stones and Czech glass embellish Loren’s hand-crafted designs. It’s almost impossible to choose a favorite from her collection, but the darling sunburst studs in malachite top my list.
Shop the Highlights: Collette necklace // Sunburst studs // Leda bracelet // Clara earrings // Petra pendant
Reminder! Win a pair of bangle bracelets from Sequin!

Summer is the perfect time for a stack of carefree bangle bracelets, like this pair from Sequin. The jewelry company sent over a few items for me to try last week and I fell for these hinged bangles. I have such a small wrist that it’s hard for me to find bracelets that don’t slip off. There’s a colorful array of options to choose from (even though I’m drawn to understated white and gold) and plenty more covetable styles on their site!
Giveaway! One reader will win her own perfect pair of bangles! Just mix and match the bracelets from Sequin’s spring collection and let me know which two you’d like to own. Good luck!
This giveaway is open to U.S. readers!

Tortoise shell isn’t a material normally used for warm-weather jewels, but the tropical flowers of this bracelet keep it from looking too autumnal. J.Crew is continuing its 25% off sale through the end of the day, making this stunner just $66.

I bought a Kiel James Patrick rope bracelet last year (I couldn’t pass up the anchor closure), but this Jeweliq bracelet is a more affordable alternative. It’s just $17 with free shipping and is also available in red and navy.
