Hi! As founder of BE, I’ve seen many holiday shoppers pass through our doors, but Mother’s Day gifting is one of the most special times of the year. Honoring the women in our lives who keep our worlds turning is such a beautiful thing and we’re so touched to be a part of that. I handpicked some truly stunning and sentimental pieces to make her day a bit brighter and I hope you find inspiration in my gift guide below.

As the founder of Broken English, I've seen trends come and go, but one that never seems to fade too far away is boho. In LA especially, where bohemian style is omnipresent, I like how designers are taking a modern interpretation of it, by looking to the past. Gold jewels that are reminiscient of ancient styles, like the Lalounis ones that I'm wearing here, beg to be layered to achieve that well-traveled, nonchalant jet setter look, bohemian types are known for. Shop my edit of pieces that have a feeling of far-flung origins and look incredibly chic when piled on together.

Happy March, everyone! As founder of BE, I’ve seen jewelry trends come and go through the years, but one thing that never seems to fall out of favor is a matching set. It never hurts to double down on a statement shape, stone or color and right now I love to wear Foundrae’s hearts in the form of a pendant and a cocktail ring. Shop my edit of matchy-matchy moments as a reminder that there is always strength in numbers, especially when it comes to style.

Hi everyone! Since I started Broken English, it’s safe to say that I’ve built up quite the personal jewelry collection. With the start of a new year, I revisit my jewelry box to see what classics I can style in different ways or find any gaps in basics I need to fill for day-to-day wear. From changing up your go-to statement earring or switching out “never-take-it-off” necklaces, it feels good to freshen up these basics. Shop my picks for great everyday pieces that will definitely justify the cost per wear.

Hi everyone! I'm back for another installment of Laura's Picks and this time I'm thinking about how much I love getting dressed this time of year. The slight chill in the evening air opens up ample wardrobe possibilities and with those come along opportunities for a major jewelry moment. We have such extravagant stunners in store right now from so many talented designers. One of my favorites (that I'm wearing here) is Munnu the Gem Palace, who brings bold design and traditional Indian craftsmanship to the forefront. Shop these and my other showstopping favorites in my edit below.

In my latest edit of Laura’s Picks, I wanted to focus on the keep it simple method of jewelry-wearing that I’ve subscribed to for years. While jewelry can always veer to the fantastical, I love to wear strong pieces in a super easy way. One great piece for the neck, for the wrist and for the ears suits me just fine, especially if they are timeless and uncomplicated for everyday wear. Shop my edit of reliable yet beautiful classics in my monthly edit below.

Laura, BE’s founder here and back with this month’s Laura’s Picks. One thing I’ve been really drawn to in some of our newest and boldest pieces right now is their strong texture game. Whether the textural element comes from a formed geometric shape, grooves, etching or even a touch of pavé diamonds, this added interest immediately elevates a piece. They are easy to wear statements on their own or bring new life to a layered stack. I also loved pairing these pieces with a graphic knit for extra “oomph”. Shop my edit of texture-heavy favorites below.

A nostalgic nod to the American southwest and reminiscent of Caribbean waters in the same hue, it’s no wonder that the gem that symbolizes the freedom of summer to me is turquoise. And I’m not alone in my obsession: we have so many designs right now that put this classic stone at center stage. Check out my latest edit of fresh turquoise takes from our collection of designers at BE.

Chandelier earrings are exactly what their name implies: Elaborate, often gem-set danglers that reflect and refract light in all directions. During the pandemic, when we were either at home on the couch or masked to the nines, the style didn’t make a lot of sartorial sense. But since emerging from our Covid cocoons, we’re gravitating to statement-making chandeliers once again. Let there be light indeed!

From humble bronze coins strung on cords to intricate gold medallions set amidst a collection of gilded charms, coin jewels — like the one at the center of Laura’s 18k gold chain necklace — are a wardrobe staple. Just don’t call them basic. In antiquity, coins were thought to protect the wearer against disease, misfortune and evil spirits. Today, they evoke a time when a flat piece of metal bearing an official stamp was not only a token of trade, but also of status and protection. Some things never change!

Shop our Laura’s Picks: Spring Bling collection. Our curated collections feature only the best in fine jewelry and luxury decor for the modern woman. Explore an assortment of antique, vintage, and contemporary designs that are the epitome of timeless style and laid-back luxury. In honor of this week’s vernal equinox, which marks the astronomical beginning of the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere, we’d like to take a moment to revel in the myriad jewels that symbolize our eternal obsession with the season. From pieces that represent flora and fauna to gems in hues that recall a basket of Easter eggs, the options for putting a little spring (jewelry) in your step have never been more abundant.

Few pieces of jewelry are as timeless as a gold chain. With roots that go all the way back to ancient Egypt, the jewelry staple remains fresh, year after year, because designers constantly revisit it, switching up lengths and styles of link to keep us wanting more. The varieties — including Cuban, curb, paperclip, nautical and handmade one-of-a-kind versions — are virtually endless, as is the fun you’re bound to have with them.

When the weather is cold and I’m all bundled up, the one jewel that never fails to bring me comfort is a yellow gold medallion pendant. Between zodiac styles, mandalas or simple round discs sprinkled with diamonds, the chic designs available at BE are the perfect talismans to shield you against the winter blues.

Look around and you’ll likely see that a familiar but unexpected hue feels remarkably fresh this year. Trendspotters suggest that brown in all its earthy splendor will rise to the fashion fore in 2024, reflecting our collective desire for the comforts of home and nature. Good thing for lovers of yellow gold, which pairs perfectly with all shades of brown, from light beige to rich caramel.

Once upon a time, the layered approach, with its emphasis on combining delicate pieces into a single highly personalized look, was the reigning jewelry style. On the brink of 2024, however, layers are giving way to bold, modern designs that work best as singular statement pieces, be they hero cuffs, standout collar necklaces or dramatic earrings. One and done, as they say!
