“THE GOLD EL MOROCCO NECKLACE & EARRING”

……………………….EL MOROCCO was a fabulous haunt of the rich and famous from the 30s to the 50s and 60s. A sumptuous dinner club for the “Cafe Society”, which consisted of socialites, politicians and entertainers. Every night till dawn it was a “Who’s Who” of the rich and famous. Jerome Zerbe was the clubs photographer, and everyone wanted their picture taken, because they knew it would be in the papers the next day. El Morocco never needed to be named. Just seeing the celebrities sitting in the famous blue and white ZEBRA banquets said it all. Those in the know knew exactly where the picture was taken…………….A stunning cocktail dress was the uniform, and BLACK was the most popular….The LBD……All it needed was to be dressed up with beautiful jewelry that could easily be seen above the table tops…. Those who didn’t want to come off ostentatious wore GORGEOUS GOLD with a sprinkling of DIAMONDS………El Morocco was located at 154 East 54th Street…..right around the corner from Parson’s School of Design. I would pass it every morning and every evening on my way to and from school…..Sometimes I would leave school so late I would see the patrons enter the club…..It was very exciting. Even as student we all knew El Morocco!….I wanted to dress those women, and eventually I did…………………The necklace and Earring I’m featuring is named “El Morocco” in honor of the club, and all the women who crossed its’ threshold………….J483112 is the style number for the necklace. The intricately linked GOLD chain is solid metal, so there is weight to this necklace, but that only makes it feel all the more expensive………The MAGNETIC PAVE BALL is GOLD with CLEAR CRYSTALS…..sorry no diamonds, but we can dream! The only time you would have to unclasp it is if you want to wear it doubled, but you would have to have a slim neck to do this. You can wear the Pave Ball off to the side, the way I like it, or at the bottom, or sometimes even at the back not showing at all depending on what you are wearing….The Ball has a RIGHT and a WRONG way of connecting the two halves. It will become obvious to you upon examination…….It can be worn casually with jeans a blouse or tee in the summer…perfect for the South of France……….or dressed up with your LBD……….The Pave Domed Earring comes matching in the GOLD with CLEAR CRYSTALS….J483106 is the style number, and will be avail both CLIP and PIERCED. It’s avail in FIVE METAL COLORS, all with clear crystals, to go with everything you own…..This is a wonderful stand alone earring, and when you want just a little sparkle at your face, this is the one you will choose……..There are so many outfits you can wear this with….a fabulous suit like the Scarlet Red, Dark Forest Green, Caramel and of course Black. It will look fabulous with your new PLAID BLAZERS too……………..This, as they say, is a “Moneyed Look”……….Sophisticated and Chic with lots and lots of CLASS!…………….enjoy………………….much Love……………….Louis

“THE SILVER EL MOROCCO NECKLACE & EARRING”

…………………………………For my SILVER LOVERS, the El Morocco will also be avail in Silver with a Silver Pave Ball paved with Clear Crystals. The matching earring will be in Silver and Clear Crystal too. Unfortunately, the photos on the Linea jewelry site do no justice to these pieces at all. The CHUNKY chain in the SHINY metal finishes with the refined pave using TINY STONES gives this the look of real……..something you might see in a case at Tiffany’s……….It is made superbly. Each link is smooth and its’ edged shape catches the light beautifully. Believe me when I say this looks like a piece that could easily cost hundreds of $$$ in any boutique or high end department store. I am sure you will be pleased when you remove it from its’ package……This would make an awesome present for some lucky recipient…………………………..enjoy………………………much Love……………………………Louis

“THE WINE & RUSSIAN GOLD GRAPEVINE NECKLACE & EARRING SET”

…………………………The GRAPEVINE NECKLACE  J483110, and matching EARRING J483108, was easy to name. It just reminded me of clusters of baby grapes hanging from the vine. The necklace has FOUR ROWS of “GRAPES” attached to a chain. The chain continues to go around to the back neck without the beads so there is no bulk. There is a three inch extender so you can adjust it to suit the neckline you’re wearing…. The necklace has pearls and faceted metal beads. In this case WINE PEARLS and RUSSIAN GOLD FACETED BEADS with a Russian Gold chain……The earring is a small cluster of beads hanging from a lever back. They are very light and comfortable to wear……………The necklace fills in a neckline beautifully……I have recently showed these pieces on the VINO TRENCH COAT.  Above, the WINE and RUSSIAN GOLD necklace is on the new CRANBERRY V-NECK WK, and the TAUPE SUPER PONTE PANT…………….The necklace and earrings are perfect for the upcoming fall and winter Holiday seasons, and great to wear to work on a simple sweater………………………………enjoy………………..much Love………………..Louis

“THE CHOCOLATE & OLIVE GRAPEVINE NECKLACE & EARRING SET”

……………………………..I love to offer you unusual combinations of colors that you would never find anywhere else in clothing and jewelry. The GRAPEVINE necklace and earring in the OLIVE PEARLS & CHOCOLATE FACETED METAL BEADS is such a combination. Did you buy anything in OLIVE, LODEN, ESPRESSO or CHOCOLATE this season, or do you already own clothing in these colors? This necklace will be the PERFECT COMPLIMENT. It is a wonderful BIB DESIGN and the perfect neck filler without any bulk at the back of the neck. As you can see the necklace on both the new Camo Blouse and Dk. Chocolate V-neck Moss Crepe top works on both prints and solids. The Earring can be worn with the necklace, but is also a wonderful separate piece of jewelry, and stands on its’ own…When you want an earring that is simpler wear my CHOCOLATE HOOP which is part of my set of 4 “CLASSIC” hoops…..The Grapevine finishes the outfit off in the most perfect way! Where can you find anything so unique and interesting? You know women are going to give you admiring glances, and some won’t be able to help themselves by asking “where did you get that?”…………………………………………….enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis
