Photo Friday: Bette

Bette Davis was so striking as a blonde! Look at her glamorous half-moon manicure, too!

The Hollywood Collection Jewelry

The Hollywood Collection is in the business of creating stunning reproductions of the jewelry of stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The list of stars is endless: Carole Lombard, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Jean Harlow — even Humphrey Bogart — and that's just scratching the surface!


I've received a couple pieces as gifts, and they are positively gorgeous! The quality of the jewelry is outstanding, and the packaging sumptuous and time-period authentic. Pieces start at $50, and they have wonderful weekly specials. This week, Bette's ring from Dark Victory is $20 off with free shipping. Sometimes they offer a free pair of earrings with a certain starlet's ring.

My two favorite pieces in my collection are from Lana Turner (of course!). Lana's Diamond Classic (top left) was a gift for my 21st birthday. So elegant and sophisticated with it's sleek emerald cut! My other favorite is Lana's Purple Passion (bottom right), worn in the film Johnny Eager. The color is rich, and when the light hits that baby — prepare to be wow-ed! 

A piece of jewelry from The Hollywood Collection makes a fabulous gift for the vintage lover, the movie lover, or anyone who truly appreciates a beautiful accessory. I cannot say enough good things about this company! Keep them in mind next time your looking for a special occasion gift, or for when you need a little reward yourself. ;)
