It’s March 2013 and you know what that means? The start of International Women’s Month! This month is all about female empowerment and raising awareness for issues that affect women worldwide. International Women’s Month also marks Women’s History Month in the US, which celebrates the history and contribution of women throughout American history. The big day for the month is International Women’s Day, which is March 8, 2013. On this day, people all over the globe honor their daughters, mothers, and grandmothers by showering them with gratitude, flowers, and gifts. So, mark your calendar and get ready to spread cheer to the wonderful women in your life.

Celebrate the women in your life by adding a shiny piece of jewelry to go with those flowers. We put together our favorite looks from powerful women who inspire and motivate women everywhere. These women are our women of the month and include Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Kate Middleton, and Angelina Jolie. Celebrate International Women’s Month with inspired styles from our picks for the women of the month that’ll go great with your empowering looks.

Michelle Obama not only inspires us with her efforts to end childhood obesity through diet and exercise, she also inspires us with her fight to go down in the history books as one of the most fashionable first ladies. She sets an example when it comes to dressing classy and chic. At the Democratic National Convention in 2008, Michelle Obama wore layered strands of champagne and black pearls. Now you can get her look for less with our shell pearl jewelry set! The look is incredibly similar to Michelle Obama’s, and the pearls are totally real. All that for a low price? Better shop today!

When it comes to powerful women the first person we think of is Oprah Winfrey. She embodies what it means to be inspirational; Oprah has given back to charities and even opened a school for underprivileged girls in South Africa. We love Oprah and strive to be as inspirational as her. Oprah’s favorite earring style is also ours, so it’s great that we can get a faux pair that won’t bust our budget, and so can you!  Oprah Winfrey’s diamond pear cut drop earrings prove that her style remains timeless and elegant. Snag Oprah’s timeless look without breaking your wallet with Emitations Oprah Inspired Screwback Pear Drop CZ Earrings.

Kate Middleton exudes confidence and class; she inspires women of all ages and is graceful and sophisticated. We admire her contributions to charities and organizations that help women around the globe. Kate’s style has wowed us and kept us in awe since she first came onto the seen. Her enchanting engagement ring from Prince William is one of our most popular and sought after sapphire items. It’s elegant and classy just like her! You can take a piece of royalty home with our Inspired Kate Middleton Ring.

Angelina Jolie is not only an award-winning actress; she also has a heart of gold and participates in a number of humanitarian causes throughout the globe. She’s an inspirational woman who uses her celebrity to do good around the world and looks fabulous doing so! When Angelina hits the red carpet, we expect nothing but pure perfection in terms of style. Case in point when she looked stunning on the red carpet at the 2009 Oscars, as usual. Angelina paired a classic black dress with huge emerald earrings and a matching ring. You can wear our petite faux version of Angelina’s earrings, along with a glam CZ emerald ring. Throw on a black dress, and voila! Angelina’s style at a fraction of the price!
