Every celebrity has a signature accessory style – be it demure, pink gemstones; bold, big designs; over the top with diamonds; or elegantly simple pearls. Here, Dasha Boutique jewelry designer Sarah Smith discusses Katie Holmes' distinctly classic style and challenges you to make her look work for you. Read on to find out how you can copy her style - without breaking the bank.
Classic and Regal
America's favorite new mom may be superfit – she just ran the New York City marathon! – and super traditional – mommy daughter haircuts, anyone? – but she still makes time to shop for super classy jewelry. Katie's choices of blue sapphire pendants, single stone earrings and sterling silver chains are reminiscent of Eleanor Roosevelt and other timeless women. Look for necklace designs that focus in on one gorgeous gemstone pendant, and incorporate the same stone into subtle stud or single drop earrings.
Recently Spotted Jewels: Blue sapphire pendant necklace on a silver chain; layered star shaped pendant necklace; teardrop pendant necklace on a knotted chain.
Get The Look: with this Sapphire Single Drop Necklace.
Jewelry is the secret weapon of every female celebrity, whether she's strolling the red carpet or stepping out to the corner store for another box of ginger tea. A sparkling pair of chandelier earrings, a bracelet dangling sentimental charms, or a striking gemstone pendant necklace all add a precisely personal touch to their outfits and over time, each individual celebrity's accessory style becomes part of her signature look. Unlike clothing, the most beautiful jewelry is timeless, so it can be worn again and again, with almost any outfit. However, just like clothing, jewelry colors and designs must be tailored to the individual wearer to complement her natural features best. So while you love Katie's jewelry, keep in mind that accessories are your opportunity to make your ensemble specifically yours and to develop your very own personal style.
