You don’t need a degree from Central St. Martins to know that good style mixes high-ticket items with brilliant affordable gets. In this column, T’s fashion team roll up their Balenciaga sleeves to rummage for the cheap and the chic.
What: Lee Angel sterling silver and cubic zirconia drop earrings, $135. At Bergdorf Goodman, (212) 753-7300.
How Much: $135
Who: Karla M. Martinez, T Magazine’s women’s fashion market director.
If you don’t want to spend a fortune, it can be so hard to find pretty jewelry to wear to formal events. Most of the time, costume jewelry looks exaggerated and cheap. There’s vintage costume pieces but they can be expensive too, unless you go to a flea market, but I don’t have time for that. I found these costume earrings from Lee Angel at Bergdorf Goodman and I love them because they are so elegant and practical. Since they don’t have real diamonds I’m comfortable bringing them abroad. When I wore them to Lauren Davis’s wedding in Colombia a couple of weeks ago, four people asked me if they were from Fred Leighton or vintage. I had on a perfect high-low combination: I wore them with a champagne-color Prada resort dress, Jimmy Choo diamante encrusted strappy sandals and two Chanel costume bracelets. These earrings give just enough shine but don’t look ostentatious or fake. They’re well proportioned and the “diamonds” are so discreet they look real. I would only wear them with something formal but Lee Angel also sells some costume diamond studs (they’re $135) and I’d wear those everyday.
