off the chain update: madison and wellington debut

Tue, Sep 15, 2009

Madison and Wellington are online! As I mentioned earlier, my inspiration for these fall collections was a striped scarf. Not a typical launching point for jewelry by any means, but I think the result is fresh, unique, and sophisticated. Below I’ll explain how I intend for these pieces to fit in any woman’s wardrobe.

And as a little gift to you all, there is free domestic shipping on all Jess LC pieces until next Tuesday (9/22).

Wellington Collection

This collection is a nod to past collections like State St., Armitage, and Rush St. with a bit of an edge. These pieces are neutral and will go with basics in any one’s wardrobe. I like that they are perfect for a simple shift dress to make a statement, but I can also throw one on with my ‘uniform’ of jeans, t-shirt, and cardigan and look instantly pulled-together.

This collection is exactly what I want to wear this fall and winter, layered with tissue-thin turtle necks or my new shrunken leather jacket and skinny jeans.

Wellington Ave. Large and Small Crystal Necklace

Wellington Ave. Random Small Crystal Layering Necklace

A new take on the ever popular Rush St. Layering Necklace.

Madison Collection

For me, Madison is the natural evolution of the Astor St. collection from this summer done in a more muted, sophisticated way. The color story is rich with the navy, plum, shade, and black Swarovski crystals. The more intricate pieces reference the bib necklace trend without going overboard. These are pieces you will still love and wear after that trend fades away.

In Madison the stripe theme is played out in the crystals themselves. I imagine wearing these pieces to add a polished touch to work-wear and for upcoming holiday parties. And again, I totally plan to wear them with my t-shirts and cardigans all winter long.

    Awesome! My favorite is the first necklace – the one that looks the most like the striped scarf. It’s so simple, but I’ve never seen anything like it before.
