Learn how to steal Oprah’s style for less, and get the look of Oprah jewelry! The first lady of daytime television, Oprah Winfrey, is one of the most influential trendsetters in America today! From clothes to celebs, books to bling, Oprah is the word on what’s hot right now. One mention from Ms. O and suddenly anyone – or anything – could be catapulted into the limelight! Emitations has been a fan of Oprah since the first day our site launched, and she continues to be an inspiration. Read on to learn about Oprah’s style – and the Emitations.com jewelry that Oprah has featured in O magazine and on Oprah.com!

Oprah’s signature accessory has to be diamond pear drop earrings. She has them in a variety of styles, and you can frequently spot her wearing them with both formal and casual outfits. The basic Oprah earring style that we’ve seen is a pierced post backing with a round cut diamond, and a pear cut diamond dangling below. If you want to get the look of Oprah earrings for less, Emitations has a whole collection of pear drop jewelry that fits her fashions. For special occasions – like the photo shoot for O magazine’s 10th anniversary issue – Oprah sometimes upgrades to fancy diamond chandeliers. The antique style dangle earrings she wears here are dramatic, but not overpowering. Then again, it’s pretty tough to overpower Oprah! If you don’t have pierced ears, don’t worry. Oprah herself didn’t have pierced ears until 2005; she got them done as part of her 51st birthday celebration. Emitations has non-pierced and clip earrings that capture the look of Oprah earrings, including pear drops, chandeliers, magnetic studs, and clip earring fashions.

Oprah’s style has transformed over the years, but her jewelry has always remained classic and stylish. Consider, for example, the diamond pinky ring that she often wears. The eternity band is a simple ring of diamonds, but she has turned it into a distinctive style that women are emulating. Emitations has a wide selection of stackable rings, eternity bands, and wedding rings that can help you to achieve the Oprah ring style for less. If you want something more flashy, you can go for another type of Oprah ring style – the cocktail ring! Oprah favors the occasional bold, over sized cocktail ring to pull an outfit together. We’ve also seen Oprah wearing dramatic statement necklaces. You can get the Oprah necklace style in a red carpet ready look with a faux diamond drop pendant from Emitations. Or, you can try the other common styles of Oprah necklaces – whimsical bib necklaces, classic pearl necklaces, and fun layered necklaces.

Emitations is extra lucky – Oprah has featured our jewelry in O magazine, and on Oprah.com. Each time Oprah features one of our products, it almost always sells completely out….sometimes within hours! Back in 2009, Oprah.com showed off our Padma’s Purple CZ Cocktail Ring. The website noted “a chunky faux amethyst ring sprinkled with pave stones adds cocktail hour shimmer”. This affordable ring was available in sizes 4-12, and Oprah fans knew a good deal when they saw one. Padma’s Ring has since been discontinued, but you can shop our Kezia’s Purple Cocktail Ring or Karley’s Adjustable Tropical Flower Ring for a similar look.

The next featured item was our Deanna’s Purple Bead Necklace. Oprah.com dubbed it perfect for New Year’s Eve! It was titled “Bead The Way” and the caption noted “add dazzle to a classic white button-down, or you can layer more necklaces over this strand for special occasions.” Again, Oprah shoppers snagged the last of them, so we had to find some inspired by Oprah necklaces to substitute! Our Leanna’s Rhinestone Bib Necklace & Earrings Set, Macie’s Fancy Faux Amethyst Jewelry Set, and Carrie’s Bib Necklace & Earrings Set can all give you the vibrant purple Oprah necklace look for less.

In 2010, the real rush started with our Denay’s Cuff Bracelets, as seen in O magazine and on Oprah.com. Oprah inspired shoppers snapped up those cuffs quickly, and we sold out shortly after the mag hit the stands! These chunky acrylic cuff bracelets came in bright primary colors, and they were studded with round cut stones. The website and magazine said “an acrylic cuff, topped with rhinestones and synthetic coral and turquoise, gets noticed with three-quarter sleeves”. If you like the look of those cuffs, you can try our Chanie’s Glam Cuff Bracelet – Gunmetal (also available: Chanie’s Glam Cuff Bracelet – Gold Tone) or Ceida’s Rhinestone Cuff Bracelet.

We had another double feature when Oprah’s magazine and website showed off our Alva’s Marquise Cut Chandelier Earrings. The online O Style article “Great Buys Under $50!” promises “something red – that won’t put you in the red.” Our Alva’s Marquise Cut Chandelier Earrings were marked with a special O tag reading “WHAT A BUY!” The magazine said “Fiery, feather-shaped earrings are all the jewelry you need.” We couldn’t agree more! The red-orange earrings were shown, but we also offer these marquise chandeliers in topaz, pink, and multi-color hues.

The most recent Oprah approved items are our Wren’s Rhinestone Chandelier Earrings, as seen in the August 2010 issue of O magazine. Creative director Adam Glassman gave his suggestions for “Great Buys Under $100″, and our Wren’s Multicolor Earrings were among them! The mag notes that “luminous rhinestone earrings are sexy and right with anything.” We couldn’t agree more! These beauties usually sell for $45 a pair, but with special coupon code OPRAHEMI (expires 9/30/2010), you can get them for an incredible $16!!! Shop today – and don’t forget, the coupon works on our Wren’s Multicolor Earrings and our Wren’s Clear Earrings.

Emitations is the perfect place to shop for inspired by Oprah jewelry, and it’s where you find the items seen in O magazine and on Oprah.com! Just remember to shop fast, because once Oprah approves something, it’s only a matter of time before the fans find every last one. Classic chic style plus she features our bling? No wonder we love Oprah!

Bridal jewelry is as important as the gown, wedding party, and groom! Ok, maybe bridal wedding jewelry isn’t quite as important as the other elements, but bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelery are crucial to any wedding. Some women go the vintage bridal jewelry route, wearing antique bridal jewelry . Other women prefer brand new bridal jewelry – perhaps a gleaming new bridal necklace, or some pearl bridal earrings? No matter if your style is either of these, or in-between…Emitations has the bridal wedding jewelry and bridesmaid jewelery that you need for your special day!

The main bridal jewelry attraction is, of course, the rings. The sentiment that engagement rings and wedding bands represent is a tangible symbol of the love a couple shares. Since that element is the most significant, you can arrange the rest of your bridal jewelry to match your rings. If you don’t want a perfect match, you can still find other bridal wedding jewelry items that will coordinate beautifully with your rings.

Are you wearing a veil at your wedding? Your answer will help determine what sort of bridal earrings you should wear! Some brides prefer simple pearl bridal earrings, stud bridal earrings, or bridal clip earrings. Big, bold bridal earrings can compete with your veil, so make sure to try them on together before the wedding. Your hair and potential veil also decide whether you need a bridal tiara, wedding hair accessory, or bridal jewelry headband. Keep in mind that your veil, hair jewelry, earrings, and maybe necklace will be the only wedding jewelry that shows up in close-up wedding pictures. Make sure you wear your favorites up top so they can be captured for posterity!

Your wedding gown’s neckline is the main factor in selecting a bridal necklace. A strapless bodice works perfectly with a fancy bridal necklace, while a halter neckline might look better with a solitaire bridal necklace. Dresses with straps – thin or thick – can usually work with any style of bridal necklaces. Finally, don’t forget to consider a bridal pearl necklace. Classic pearls can be your something old or something new, and many women pass them down in their family as heirlooms. See if your mother or mother-in-law to be has jewelry they would like to share. If they don’t, or if their jewelry doesn’t fit your style, you can start your own family tradition with new bridal jewelry!

Bridal bracelets are another important decision that you shouldn’t overlook. Many modern wedding photographers like to take pictures of your hand in your husband’s hand, or a closeup of the wedding bands. Sometimes bracelets can pop up in these pics, or in pictures of the bouquet. Make sure your wrists are ready! If your wedding dress has long sleeves, consider a vintage bridal bracelet or pearl bracelet. Something simple that fits over the sleeve is ideal for this style of dress. If your arms are bare, you might want to go with a fancy vintage bridal bracelet, like a cuff bracelet. To really express your personal style, you could wear a charm bracelet that reflects your courtship, or your life prior to meeting your husband.

Once you’re all decked out, what’s left? The bridesmaid jewelery, of course! Make sure your wedding party jewelry coordinates with your bridal jewelry – they can wear the same styles, for example, but in different hues. Or, your bridesmaid jewelery can be petite versions of what you wear. You might want to instead coordinate the bridesmaid jewelery with their dresses, so specific colors may come into play. Faux jewelry is an excellent choice for weddings, because it gives you the look of 100% real bridal jewelry and bridesmaid jewelery without the cost. No matter which style you choose, you’re sure to shine when you take our tips for the perfect wedding jewelry!

Many antique jewelry fans think they can only get the vintage jewelry look by shopping at expensive estate sales and antique stores. Savvy shoppers, however, know that they can get the look of antique vintage jewelry, antique costume jewelry, and antique rings for a fraction of the price at Emitations! Our collection of faux antique jewelry and vintage jewelry has the appeal of costume jewelry – no thrift store shopping required.

Since jewelry trends change over time, there are many styles of antique jewelry to choose from. Some favor the romance of Victorian era designs, while others prefer the bold lines of art deco jewelry. Edwardian, medieval, retro, and art nouveau are all different types of antique jewelry and vintage jewelry that you may prefer. Each genre of antique costume jewelry has a distinctive beauty, so it can be difficult to choose just one favorite!

Generally, shoppers interested in vintage jewelry and antique costume jewelry are looking for some certain key features. Black rhodium plating on sterling silver, for example, can give a piece the look of an antique finish. This patina is an easy way to make a modern item look like a vintage jewelry collectible. Intricate filigree – often surrounding real or faux gems – is often used to emulate the feminine, lacy look of antique jewelry. Additional details, like beaded metal, oxidized finishes, and ornate accents can all give modern costume jewelry the appeal of antique costume jewelry.

Certain stone cuts are often found in antique jewelry and antique costume jewelry. Rose cut stones and cushion cut stones are both more vintage jewelry styles; we see diamonds with these cuts in many antique rings. Whimsical shapes such as snakes, buckles, and insects also played a role in antique jewelry and antique costume jewelry. Big, bold gems – especially in dramatic estate rings, estate necklaces, and estate earrings – also evoke the elegance of vintage jewelry.

Antique chic is a look that anyone can acquire – and afford! Shop sterling silver vintage jewelry styles, faux antique jewelry, believable vintage jewelry, traditional style antique costume jewelry, and a wide selection of antique ring designs – only at Emitations.com.
