Have you met Fred? Chances are good you know him and didn’t even know it. Julia Roberts’ ruby necklace with diamonds in Pretty Woman was a Fred of Paris creation. In fact, since its inception, Fred has become a favorite jewelry designer to celebrities, rock stars and royalty. Marlene Dietrich was an early fan who helped bring popularity to the Fred brand and Kate Moss is the newest face of their latest advertising campaigns.

Started in 1936 by Fred Samuels, the doors of the Fred fashion house first opened in Paris and it is now known as a high-end luxury brand that creates jewels, engagement rings, diamonds, luxury watches and more. Fred’s design concept has been based on the founder’s idea that every jewel “rejects cliches and the fine lines match a women’s sensuality.” It’s not hard to see why all their creations embody elegance and modernity with that phrase as an inspiration. The design aesthetic still seeks to push boundaries by remaining daring and free, while holding onto the their hallmark elegance.

Think you can’t afford Fred Jewelry? Think again. You can strike the balance between simple and simply fabulous without breaking your bank and have a piece you’ll treasure forever.

Looking for elegance? You’ve found it at Lalique. This jewelry isn’t a fad that goes in and out of style, they’re Art-Nouveau pieces that conjure up the words quality, beauty and sophistication. Think of it as something you’ll own forever, your friends will want to borrow and you’ll pass down to the next generation. It’s the jewelry equivalent of the Chanel suit (although far more affordable): for the woman of any age who knows a thing or two about style and her ensemble is an investment that will last forever.

Modern jewelry was revolutionized by René Jules Lalique. He used old-school techniques (talents honed at such places like Cartier) but experimented and applied them in new ways. Heavily inspired by nature, just one look at his Lalique jewelry and crystal figurine collections and you’ll find an interest in the sensuous beauty of insects, like butterflies and dragonflies, and designs that captured a love of flora and fauna, showcasing details from plants and flowers. Lalique became so popular during the height of his career that he personally designed for the renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt.

Today Lalique rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants, crystal vases and figurines are collected around the world and the firm René Lalique founded still bears the mark of luxury and endless creativity. Each piece is a novelty and regardless of trends, you’ll own something that is timeless. You don’t just wear a Lalique ring or necklace, it’s a piece of art you get to own forever.

If you want to start your Lalique jewelry and figurine collection, there is no more affordable way to do so than at Bidz.com Brand Name & Jewelry Auctions Live. Click here for amazing deals on Lalique.

Please share your opinion about Lalique’s style by posting comments at the bottom of this post.
