We’ve noticed our bridezilla friends beginning to sharpen their talons, which can only mean one thing: wedding season is officially under way. Thankfully, jewellery is one of the easiest things to take care of—and, unlike bouquets and seat-covers, it’s something the rest of us can appreciate, too.
Especially when we’re talking Janae Chiu Designs.
Sister of local television personality Tasha Chiu, Janae specializes in timeless pieces and custom work, all handmade and perfect for super-picky ladies (you know who you are). We love the Hilary lariat necklace ($100) with a gold-dipped leaf and mother of pearl ring and the Aja necklace ($140) with double leaves and oval ring. The Roxy necklace ($130) with dipped leaf, horn and mother of pearl pendant won’t detract from the rock on anyone’s finger, nor will the Brooke earrings ($85) in sterling silver with dangling amethyst beads.
Janae’s 14 karat coiled gold-fill rings also make terrific bridesmaid gifts ($95 for Swarovski, $110 for smoky quartz), as long as you don’t get it in anything that could be mistaken for a diamond.
