Rachel Olesker Jewelry

I'm so excited to introduce you all to a beautiful line of jewelry made by one of Chicago's very own, Rachel Olesker.  Rachel's pieces are all one of a kind - literally every single piece is different than the next in some way.

A little bit about Rachel for you......

Rachel Olesker is a self taught jewelry designer whose innovative designs are characterized by a bold and versatile aesthetic. Every piece in her collection is hand-made and no two pieces are exactly alike.

Rachel's jewelry is an expression of her own eclectic style in which she prefers to accent simple apparel with statement-making accessories. Her use of juxtaposed textures, materials and genres gives her pieces a naturalistic quality as well as a flexibility rarely found in jewelry at any price point. Many pieces can be worn as effortlessly with a cocktail dress as with jeans and a t-shirt.

"I create jewelry that I would want to wear. There are many times when I fall in love with a piece and don't want to let it go. But it makes me happy to know that someone else is going to enjoy it."

Without further ado, Rachel and I have partnered and decided to do a giveaway on my blog for this amazing bracelet that normally retails for $85!!!!!

Labradorite beaded bracelet with pyrite stone, $85 retail

To win this fabulous wrist-charmer, there are many ways to enter (and you may do one or all of these to better your chances!): 

1.  Visit www.rachelolesker.com, browse around, and leave a comment here telling me which piece is your absolute favorite.  For example, this is my favorite (and of course it's $300, I have such good taste):

Gorjana Giveaway!

Are you guys so excited that I'm doing another Gorjana Giveaway?  I am!!!

They are so generous to let me do this again (I did one in July as well) and not-so-shockingly I've chosen to giveaway TWO Graham Leather Studded Wrap bracelets.  TWO winners! 

For those of you not familiar with Gorjana, it's a beautiful jewelry line out of Laguna Beach, California that delicately balances contemporary trends and timeless elegance.  I own many pieces from Gorjana (I carried the line at bop/shopbop.com) and continually wear all of it!

Part of my Gorjana collection (and what should be part of yours) are the Graham Leather Studded Wrap Bracelets.  They go with everything and look amazing layered with your other bracelets - I pair mine with a silver David Yurman cuff I got for my 30th birthday as well as a gold bracelet that was once my Gram's.  The mixed metals plus the leather wrap are perfection together.

Here are some of my favorite colors:

Pear

Metallic Indigo

Black Exotic

Tan Sparkle

Bone
