Coffee Break: Lucite Sliver Earring

Colorful jewelry isn’t for everyone, I know, but if you DO like color, I always recommend Alexis Bittar’s lucite collection. I have a number of lucite earrings from his line, including in neon pink, neon yellow, light blue, and purple… and I just got these red ones. They have a “lit from within” kind of appearance that I always get compliments on, especially against my dark hair.

These “sliver earrings” are a bit smaller and daintier than I thought they’d be, but that just makes them less “statement” and more everyday. (When I ordered I thought they’d be more like these long earrings, which I have in light blue, but, the blue ones are much less wearable for daily stuff.)

The earrings are marked down to $72 (from $142), and come in 7 other colors (the cerulean looks like the ones I already have, but the “candy pink” looks a bit more subdued than mine). There are a bunch of other options in “red lipstick” (earrings, necklaces, rings, etc), and his lucite collection, as always, is full of fun things.
