Lisa Novak sources her materials from local sources and designs jewelry cast from gold, silver and bronze. Amen Jewelry combines the precious metals with both semi-precious and precious stones making each piece an instant, heirloom quality work of art.

Amen Jewelry carries earrings, rings, necklaces and pendants for men, women and children. While the majority of the designs are Catholic or Christian symbols, there are designs which appeal to a wider audience and can easily be enjoyed by non-religious jewelry fans.

The bold jewelry trend shows no sign of slowing down for fall into spring

Bold jewelry has been a huge trend over the past year; and after New York Fashion Week, has shown no sign of slowing down into 2012. Bold statement pieces were shown on the spring 2012 runways in several forms from large cuffs to chunky necklaces to shoulder dusting earrings. Big jewelry pieces are here to stay; unfortunately this trend can be tough to wear on a daily basis.

Since large, chunky necklaces and shoulder dusting earrings can be difficult to wear on a daily basis, it is important to find a statement piece of jewelry that is smaller in scale than what was sent down the runway; yet still makes a splash. Twisted Silver has designed an easy to wear pair of bold earrings which are scaled to everyday life for fall; the Classic Earrings.

The Classic Earrings by Twisted Silver offer a large sized look without clanging against your shoulders or being overbearing. The result? A pair of earrings that is on trend for fall 2011 and spring 2012 yet is easy enough to wear while running to the market, meeting friends for lunch and out to dinner at night. Love it!

The Classic Earrings are made from antiqued brass and copper. They offer an architectural design which has an artsy vibe. Twisted Silver will debut the Classic Earrings on September 20, 2011 at twisted-silver.com for $40. Use code INSIDERS for a 15% discount. Happy shopping and stay fabulous
