Resorts: Diana Kauffman Designs Jewelry

Hitting the Resorts this season? Beautiful selections from Diana Kauffman Designer Jewelry Collection.

Crystal Springs Resort, NJ One of the most exclusive resorts in the NYC/NJ area is at Crystal Springs as they offer a variety of amenities including golf, a spa, hot tub, sauna and Biosphere Pool. When you think of Resort Wear, it's got to be chic yet comfortable for days on the beach and nights at the country club.

Striking just the right balance are these lovely statement pieces from Diana Kauffman Designs Jewelry. This jewelry takes its cues from nature but uses beautiful, precious metals to enhance the richness and flair of stone & glass.  Handcrafted in the USA, no two are exactly alike as the semi-precious stones offer a one off creation due to their own uniqueness and formations.

Diana Kauffman Sea Star Earrings 2 and Sea Star Signature Necklace

These designer pieces offer the essences of both sea and land which compliments resort wear so elegantly  for most any occasion. In the lead photo, I wore these beautiful drop earrings at Crystal Springs Resort with ancient Roman Glass to and in the pool. They were the perfect accessory to a rather simple black bikini but added just the right amount of sparkle.

DK's Laurels Collection with Roman Glass

"The Laurels Collection" Roman Glass Earrings
These beautiful drop earrings are handcrafted in Pennsylvania from real laurel leaves electroformed in sterling silver. Notice the accents of copper and sterling beads with genuine ancient Roman glass which is dated to be between 900-1200 years old. The iridescence is caused by centuries of natural weathering as the glass interacts with earth minerals.
These earrings are very light and comfortable to wear. Even with long wet hair, these earrings hang low enough not to tangle your mane. They look amazing with a swimsuit and dazzle in the candlelight at dinner.

Sand Star Signature Bracelet:
Greek leather bracelet in cool gray with crackle glazed ceramic beads, copper starfish and silver clam shell spacers. Magnetic closure.
My wrists are really tiny so I tend to shy away from bracelets that are difficult to put on and keep on. Not so with the Sand Star Signature & River Rock natural bangles. The leather makes them very comfortable to wear and is a lovely contrast to the metal accents. The crackle glaze on the ceramic beads adds a layering of textures to the piece. The starfish and scallop shell complete the nautical theme on the Sand Star. Perfect for a day out on the water.

Sea Star and River Rock Bracelets

River Rock Bracelet
Genuine Greek leather bracelet with handmade ceramic beads glazed in tan and gray. Antique bronze magnetic closure.
The River Rock Bracelet reminds me of vacationing at Lake Hapatcong, near where I grew up. You would see sailboats and yachts skimming over the rounded rocks, worn by the lake into such interesting shapes. Again, the leather is gorgeous on this piece and contrasts with the crackled glaze on the ceramic beads of tan and grey.  

Diana Kauffman Simple Statement Pieces compliment a variety of fashion selections. However, I found these pieces to be perfect for my resort stay from lounging at the pool to enjoying a delicious dinner and wine with friends.
