Fall fashion is trending with a very feminine retro glamour. Include one or more ‘stand-out’ pieces of jewelry to perfect any retro outfit. Large cocktail rings or oversized earrings are perfect accessories for the highly embellished and fur trim tops for fall. Here are our top picks:

1. Earth Tone Stones: Citrine, Smokey Topaz, Red and Brown Tiger Eye. The fiery, yellow-orange of citrine jewelry has an eye-catching appeal, and all of the above mentioned stones are great accessories with the gold and brown metallics that are taking over the runways.

2. Green Chalcedony: These gorgeous gems are beautifully translucent and breezy. Green continues to be a color for this Fall – emulating the green movement and the “all things organic” as a way of life.

3. Rose Gold: The romantic, warm hue of rose gold perfectly compliments the plums, olives and other earth tones that are IN for Fall. The beauty of rose gold is that it is flattering to all skin types. Rose gold also compliments the elegance of floor-sweeping and cool midi-skirts are big for the fall season.

4. Leslie Greene’s Luna Collection: Leslie Greene’s stunning designs are constantly being seen on celebrities. Her Luna collection of pieces with rudilated quartz stones set in silver and gold are becoming a huge hit for celebrities. These pieces are true products and forces of nature – also being organic, stunning and eminently wearable.

5. Long layering chains: You’re already layering your clothes, so why not layer your necklaces? Double up on a long chain, or pile on multiple chest-grazing pieces to create your own cool and unique look. Wear bright lightweight dresses and tops into fall by layering a cotton turtleneck underneath.

Glamour and attention to detail never go out of style. Stop into Frassanito Jewelers in Huntington and let a member of the Frassanito family show you our NEW Fall collection. We’d love to assist you in selecting a unique piece to reflect your beauty and individuality!

Spring Fashion Jewelry

Frassanito Jewelers Spring Fashion Jewelry

This year’s spring trend in fashion jewelry mirrors and articulates the season’s color: Pink. Pantone explains that this color encourages and uplifts the soul and also inspires courage to face everyday life challenges. Green is also a great color for spring – emulating the green movement and the "all things organic" as a way of life. Thus designers are using the color to flaunt their call and support for the environment.

Here’s Our Top Five Fashion Jewelry Trends For This Spring:

1. Long Necklaces. Long necklaces emphasize the length of your body. Combine a long necklace with a pendant and a short necklace, and you have a real layered, designer look. Or wear a long necklace against solid color clothing, so a pattern won’t distract the eye from the bold jewelry you’re wearing. Want to show off your tan? Go with a turquoise necklace and white jeans – always a hot summer look. Remember, jewelry is an expressive form of art, have fun with it… a trendy pair of jeans and t-shirt can come out stylish and even elegant with the right necklace or earrings!

2. Pendants. Flashy colors and flowers are great elements to consider. Just like other jewelry, opt for colored, semi-precious stones – blue topaz, amethyst or turquoise – they all make our list. Tiger’s eye and topaz go great with khaki’s and a neutral safari look. And if you prefer metal ones, go for the mix of gold and silver designs.

3. White Agate. Currently one of the hottest gemstones, White Agate is perfect for a sophisticated look for Spring and Summer – especially when you have a tan. Pair a set of White Agate jewelry with a short black dress for a chic and sophisticated look for a night out!

4. Stacking Rings. These are very flexible accessories. Whether a woman is going for a rebellious look or stunning elegance, it can be achieved. Experimentation is the key and a sense of fashion, of course!

5. Chandelier Earrings. This pair of accessory is becoming an all time favorite for any stylish gal. They dazzle with extravagance and give off a gorgeous look. One can never go wrong with them!

The right piece of jewelry can make a woman feel confident and beautiful. Stop in to Frassanito Jewelers in Huntington and let a member of the Frassanito family show you our colorful new spring collection. We’d love to assist you in selecting a unique piece to reflect your beauty and individuality.

With The Royal Wedding Approaching, Princess Diana Sapphire Rings Are More Fashionable Than Ever.

It was among the first questions asked after news of the engagement hit the press: What does Kate Middleton’s engagement ring look like?

That evening the world finally got a glimpse of a ring that looked familiar: The 18-carat oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds, which was previously worn by Princess Diana.

As we all know, Di had an eye for style, and that style sapphire ring has borne her name ever since.

The upcoming Royal Wedding is expected to be viewed by approximately 2 billion people worldwide – far more than the 750 million who watched Princess Diana marry Prince Charles in 1981.

A tweet from Prince Charles said: "The Prince of Wales is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince William to Miss Catherine Middleton." According to Newsweek " Kate will be Britain’s first thoroughly modern princess".

Prince William’s younger brother also chimed in. "I am delighted that my brother popped the question," said Prince Harry in a statement. "It means I get a sister, which I have always wanted."

If you have an upcoming engagement and would like to see the princess Di ring for yourself, schedule an appointment with a member of the Frassanito family. We currently have the Diana ring in store and would love to show it to you (or your Prince). Plus, you’ll be able to see the many other unique styles in our engagement collection and experience our personal service – even if you’re not a Royal!

Spring on Long Island means a lot more than warm weather and flowers blooming. It’s also wedding season, when romance is in the air and the big question – "Will you marry me?" – is popped almost as often as the buds on awakening trees and foliage.

But finding the perfect engagement ring, wedding band or other bridal jewelry shouldn’t be more difficult than selecting the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

That’s why Frassanito Jewelers of Huntington can be an impending bride or groom’s best friend. As one of Long island’s premier, full-service jewelry stores and winner of the Knot’s 2011 "Best of Wedding" award, they have an amazing selection of bridal jewelry to suit every taste and budget.

Even better, you can trust the staff at Frassanito to provide the friendly, knowledgeable, personal service you deserve. They’ll get to know you, answer all your questions and really take the time to help you select the perfect pieces to symbolize and commemorate your love together.

Take an engagement ring for example. Which diamond shape and size best fits your personal style? What precious metal should you choose for the setting – Platinum, White Gold or Palladium? And what about the 4 C’s of selecting a diamond – CARAT, CUT, COLOR, and CLARITY?

Did you know that the larger a diamond is, the more rare the stone? Or, that the better the cut, the more brilliant a diamond will be? Or, that diamonds are graded by color on a scale of D to Z?

Above all, remember this… While color, clarity and carat weight help determine a diamond’s rarity, it’s the cut of the stone that defines its true beauty.

So this Spring, before you spring for an engagement ring or any other bridal jewelry, make sure you talk to the wedding experts at Frassanito Jewelers. Next to picking your future spouse, it may be the best decision you ever make.
