Designer Emily Wheat Maynard explored the relationship between Italian Renaissance and ancient Greek and Roman jewelry for her Masters thesis at The Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts, Design, and Culture in New York City. This passion for historic jewelry inspired Emily to take a semester at the Jewelry Arts Institute in Manhattan to acquire the skills necessary to launch Elva Fields Jewelry in 2003. Her line features vintage and antique finds that are reworked into stunning necklaces and earrings.

Juicy Couture clutches, $39.99 each

I adore photo prints paired with stark basics (as you can see here), but I don’t think the trend is worth a serious investment. These Juicy Couture clutches have recently been reduced to a wallet-friendly $40. Which would you choose? A serene ocean print or beachy palm trees? 

(I was a bit wary that the description indicates there’s a logo on the back of the clutch, but they don’t show a photo. You can see it on the back of clutch here at Shopbop.)
