Collegiate-Chic Jewelry



As far as jewelry goes, my personal taste runs the gamut from simple and whimsical to bold and avant-garde.  But this new trend in jewelry - I'll call it "Collegiate-Chic" - makes me want to eschew gemstones for leather, chaos for structure, Manhattan for Cambridge.

Elfcraft's unisex braided leather bracelet ($119) is dressed up with a polished sterling silver closure and would be a smart addition to a button-down and jeans ensemble.

I'd wear Yarborough's crest button ring ($110) with a wool sweater dress, patterned tights, and oxford pumps.  Accessorize with a cute boy wearing these fleur de lis crest cufflinks, and people will assume you're a beautiful-and-brilliant couple studying law and dramaturgy at Yale.
