This season, devour beautiful jewelry instead of cake. With Marie Antoinette as your inspiration, consider the many ways French period style can be re-interpreted for the woman of today.

Statement necklaces—whether costume or real— can sparkle with light and beauty. Rings influenced by a range of periods, from the Etruscan to the present day, can adorn every finger in a glittering play. For a whimsical approach, try using vintage and modern pins in unexpected ways, everywhere from your lapels to your hair. What is so special about jewelry is definitely its flavor, with different pieces conveying different levels of glamour.
