Shower Me Beautiful

I first fell in love with Elizabeth Showers’ bowl stackable ring design about a year ago and have been a fan of her jewelries since. My love for her design is simply put – approachable. Every piece that I have seen from her touches me with geniality. Little did I know that the purpose of her design is to “empower all women to feel beautiful” because of her battle and recovery from anorexia.

Elizabeth is best known for her Hope Star Collection that she started in 2005 benefiting The Elisa Project and later also for the National Eating Disorders Association. She created the Hope Star as a reminder to all women to feel beautiful inside and out on a daily basis when wearing her jewels. Today, many of her 18Kt gold Couture Collection pieces are placed with the Hope Star design.

The 18Kt gold Couture Collection is comprised of diamonds and colorful semi-precious stones set in 18Kt gold. As gorgeous as these jewels are, with the off the chart gold price (over $1000/oz recently), price of these pieces are certainly not ‘approachable’. Until I discovered her sterling silver and vintage collections…

You can find a limited selection of sterling silver collection on QVC.com with pieces range from $43-$156. The real treasure though is imbedded in Elizabeth’s own website: http://www.elizabethshowers.com/, under ‘sale’ tab, where you can find a good selection of sterling silver and vintage collection of her intricate beading and wiring work, range from $22-$325. The prices on her sterling and vintage collections are amazingly inexpensive for the quality of stones, material and work…it’s only matter of time before the word gets out.

My Picks

Faceted semi-precious yellow opalite with sterling silver twisted earwire - $28

I like how these go with lots of fall colors...great for everyday wear.


14kt yellow gold over sterling silver scroll chandelier with faceted moonstone and peridot - $98

The dramatic affect of these chandelier earrings are perfect for the holidays.



Five strand rhodium over sterling silver choker with pink tourmaline, grey freshwater pearls and moonstone - $225

Luscious and expensive look, without breaking the bank.


Rhodium plated sterling silver ring with 18kt gold detail balls, a large emerald cut white topaz stone and small diamond accents on the side - $325

The ring is by far the best deal, too bad there’s only one size left (7)!
