Great Spring Accessories from Anne Vaughan Jewelry

by Katie Wallace | Updated: March 25, 2019

I love lots of things about spring; the flowers, sunny days and the outfits! Furthermore, spring is a great time to update my wardrobe and even add a few new accessories. I often coordinate basics such as jeans and t-shirts with a simple necklace. I also sometimes layer several necklaces and wear earrings to accessorize a dress. Several pieces from Anne Vaughan Jewelry have quickly become my favorite accessories. You can choose from dozens of collections and a gorgeous variety of handcrafted pieces! I was gifted some pieces from Anne Vaughan Jewelry and whenever I wear them, I always receive compliments.

Anne Vaughan Jewelry Custom Designs

Anne Vaughan Jewelry collections are handcrafted in the studio. Each collection includes a variety of necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Additionally, you can wear many of the pieces together and layer the necklaces. One of my favorite necklaces is a herringbone crystal necklace, which coordinates with a pair of earrings. I can wear these accessories to dress up an outfit, or with casual jeans and a top.

Dress Up with Anne Vaughan Jewelry

I can wear Anne Vaughan Jewelry with the fanciest outfits because each detail is so classy. Some of the necklaces I own are artistic collages of freshwater pearls, amethyst beads, crystals and gemstones. One necklace also shows off a breathtaking crystal pendant wrapped with a herringbone wire setting. Another necklace is adjustable from 16″ to 18″ in length and perfect for layering.

The Anne Vaughan design team handcrafts each jewelry piece at their studio in Floyd, Virginia. It’s easy to find a jewelry collection that matches your style. This is because Anne Vaughan Jewelry collections include classic designs, as well as glamorous, whimsical and bohemian styles. You can view the full jewelry line at annevaughandesigns.com.

The Anne Vaughan design team handcrafts each necklaces using beautiful stones and beads alongside artistic decorative accents. Furthermore, the aesthetically randomized bead placement adds interest and makes these necklaces one-of-a-kind.

Accessorize Casual Outfits with Anne Vaughan Jewelry

Jeans and a t-shirt are not too casual to wear with a long tassel necklace from Anne Vaughan Jewelry. Also, the blues in the necklace beautifully coordinate with a comfy pair of blue jeans.

Likewise, a skirt and top perfectly pair with a long Anne Vaughan necklace. I often wear the herringbone pendant necklace as a statement piece, with the amethyst dangle earrings. Because they go with everything, I love mixing and matching these pretty accessories!

Mix & Match Jewelry Pieces

Anne Vaughan Jewelry comes in all colors of whimsical styles. Also, each necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings is entirely unique.

Treat yourself to a new necklace or pair of earrings from one of Anne Vaughan Jewelry’s seasonal collections. Each collection is different, incorporating earth tones, vibrant jewel tones or shimmery cool hues. Because these accessories are very well made, they hold up wonderfully throughout regular wear.

Refresh your wardrobe with beautiful accessories that coordinate with any outfit. I love the variety of designs that you can mix and match for any regular day or special occasion.

Accessorize Just for Fun

Finally, regardless of outfit or occasion, sometimes you need a little sparkle just for fun! Even my daughter loves Anne Vaughan Jewelry, so she’ll often borrow a piece or two. It’s fun to share with my little girl who often wants to copy me.

About the Designer

We had the chance to catch up with Anne Vaughan and learn a little more about what inspires her designs!

How did you go about starting your own jewelry line?ย 

Anne: I began creating jewelry after my second child was born. It provided a wonderful creative outlet and some extra income as well. Initially, I began selling one-of-a-kind pieces without considering a full cohesive layered collection approach. We have definitely evolved over time.

How do you choose the styles of your collections?

Anne: Divine intervention. I consider myself a vessel where the creativity flows through me.

Whatย inspires your artistic choice of beads and color combinations?

Anne: Almost anything inspires me; textiles, paintings, the accidental materials on my workspace. My intuition also guides me to create a specific aesthetic.

Which is your favorite collection?

Anne: It’s hard to choose because I have so many favorites. Some of my favorite collections have included Oak Creek Canyon, Cody’s Call and Shenandoah.

What has been the best thing about seeing your business grow?

Anne: The best thing has been developing our company core values, which guide and inspire us. Our core values include loyalty to one another, exhibiting tenacity and commitment to continual growth.

Inspired to be a Mom Entrepreneur

How do you balance your design work and life as a mother?

Anne: I try to keep an 8 to 5:30 schedule as best as I can and make the best of the moments we do have. I aim for quality time over quantity. However, I am a work in progress here.

What is your favorite free-time activity?

Anne: I enjoy my time walking my dogs, perennial gardening, road biking, cooking and playing games. I also appreciate quality family time and being outdoors.

Anne created her company in 2006 as a way to work while also being a mom. She continues to design each individual item with a talented team of makers supporting her work. Anne’s gorgeous jewelry line is available at retail events and festivals and also in boutiques stores all across the United States.

๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! ๐Ÿ’ก Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

๐Ÿงณ Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

๐Ÿฅช Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafรฉs become our favorite spots. 

๐Ÿž๏ธ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

๐Ÿ”ฆ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations.

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. โ›ฒ๏ธโœจ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. ๐Ÿ“ธ We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome! 

Have you been to the Trevi Fountain? What was your experience with the crowds?

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„
