Celebrity Signature Styles: Get the Look at Alx&Co.
Do you have a signature look? If pressed, I would say mine is something along the lines of "classic tailored", paired with my favorite pearl and diamond studs, my Cartier Tank watch, and my stacked bangles. No matter where you might run into me, I'm probably wearing these jewelry pieces. Having a signature look helps to simplify your daily routine (I immediately feel dressed once I put on my watch) but it also ensures maximum return on wear for your investment pieces. Take note from these extremely stylish celebrities, whose signature jewelry looks can be perfectly emulated in your own at-home collection:
Anna Wintour's Signature Layered Collet Necklaces
Anna's gemmy, colorful necklaces sit at varying lengths and we love that she mixes up the concept by layering different colors and shapes. Somehow they always look just right and perfectly finished, whether she's meeting with the queen or attending back-to-back meetings at Vogue's offices. Yes, we could definitely create a custom version of these necklaces for you (there are endless options!) but you could also opt for something similar in Disa Alsopp's gloriously layered Citrine Necklace that we're currently featuring. Featuring a myriad of briolette-cut citrine layered in 18k yellow gold, this statement necklace somehow fits in with any look, just like Anna's.
Gwyneth Paltrow's Layered, Personal Necklaces
You know this about me already, but I love any opportunity to add a personalized touch to any piece of jewelry. What I love about Gwyneth's look is that she pairs more simplistic pieces like a heavy gold link chain with personalized touches from one of her favorite jewelry brands, Foundrae. This made me think of our Stargazer pendant, which can be personalized to show different birthstones, textures, or shapes to reflect each client's unique taste and story. We have also created some beautifully personal pendants for clients that carry a similar heft to the large pendants she wears. The key is, opt for highly personalized layers and feel free to mix-and-match throughout the week.

Victoria Beckham's Easy, Elegant Staples
I can't say that I have watched Beckham in full, but I have certainly seen enough clips to get a full grasp of Victoria Beckham's decidedly simplistic elegant daily look, and I'm here for that. I particularly love her classic pairing of simple diamond studs with a diamond tennis bracelet, layered into a perfectly crisp white button down and jeans look. To me, a nice, bezel-set diamond tennis bracelet can certainly be worn every day to elevate even the most basic uniform (kind of like my beloved watch). And, with modern options set with lab diamonds, you don't have to break the bank to achieve this look.
Jenna Lyons' Signature Diamond Tennis Necklace
Jenna Lyons has always been a true style setter for me. I love her irreverent attitude toward mixing: she's a true master of combining high/low, classic/modern, dressy/casual, ever mindful of balance along the way. I have noticed her sporting a classic diamond tennis necklace a lot lately, but I particularly love that she both layers it with other pieces and wears it alone, depending on the mood. Again, with lab diamond options out there you can achieve a hugely impactful look at a slightly more approachable price point, but you won't lose any of the elegance along the way. Ours is completely perfect, in my opinion: with a slight graduated look, a high carat weight, and beautifully designed settings to draw more sparkle, this looks nothing like the flimsy styles you might see elsewear. Wear this daily and you'll get plenty of return on investment with this piece.
If you're hoping to shop any of our pieces for Christmas, feel free to stop by Alx&Co’s upcoming Sip & Shop that we'll be hosting on December 1 from 4-7PM. We'll be fully outfitted with our favorite pieces and serving holiday bubbly in our beautifully decorated showroom.
