It really is the ultimate glamour, and that is what the collection is all about.��� The collection���s 14k gold necklaces, bracelets, and cocktail rings are bolder and edgier than past designs, with delicate, pastel stones set in Art Deco ��� inspired frames. ���I love dramatic jewelry, but I also love to feel comfortable and not overdone,��� she says. ���My pieces are high impact, but easy to wear.��� Though the multistrand gold necklace, labradorite drop earrings, and diamond-studded cuff are all remarkably stunning, the collection���s Fenton earrings are Spigel���s must-have accessory. ���They feature emerald cut aqua onyx stones in an Art Deco frame, with on-trend gold pyramids surrounding the stone and post. Put them on and you are good to go.��� Nordstrom, Fashion Show, 702-862-2525; melindamaria.com 84 VEGASMAGAZINE.COM 084-086_V_SS_StyleFile_Spring13.indd 84 2/11/13 1:22 PM
