Vivie Hybarger, Cliff’s daughter, is one of Chardé’s favorite designers! Vivie’s signature piece is the “Vivie Drop” necklace. Simple, yet elegant, the Vivie Drop is a Chardé exclusive that should be on the top of your holiday shopping list!
Vivie started designing jewelry at the young age of 8. Now in the double digits, this 10 year-old jewelry designer loves making Vivie Drops with her dad at Chardé. When Vivie is not designing jewelry, she can be found at West University Elementary, shopping with her mom and sister, hanging out with friends, and playing with her favorite dog Turtle.
The simple and classic Vivie Drop comes in 14k gold or sterling silver. Interested in a certain stone in your drop? Vivie accepts special orders and will customize your Vivie Drop just for you! (No wonder she is one of our favorites!) The Vivie Drop is a must-have this holiday season! Whether you are looking for a gift for that special someone, a friend, or sister, everyone will love the Vivie Drop, exclusively at Chardé.
Sandra Bullock rocked Gurhan at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. Gurhan is known for reviving 24k gold and recently introduced a pure silver and 24k line. Mixing gold and silver is not only atheistically pleasing, but it also makes the price points more affordable.
Copy Sandra's look with these pure silver and 24k gold earrings. Do you like the blackened silver look? If so, we have tons of those pieces online and in the store. Want to have these exact pieces? No problem, we can special order them!
Here are a few of my other favorite Gurhan pieces made with blackened pure silver & 24k gold:Stock up for the Holidays!
If there is one jewelry piece that will never go out of style, it’s pearls. Whether you are rocking a long fresh water strand, beautiful Tahitian South Sea pearls, or some funky ones you bought off the beach in Mexico, they all work! Need some inspiration on ways to wear your pearls? No problem, I’ve got you covered!I love how Rhianna piles her pearls over a simple black jacket. The more the merrier. Do you have a festive party to go to this holiday season? Use Rhianna as your fashion inspiration and dig through your jewelry box and layer, layer, layer! With so many strands worn at once, you can not tell what type, color, or shape the individual strands are. So no worries, you can't go wrong trying this look.
Do you like the more classic look? Copy Katherine Heigl's style with thisMajorica Golden Pearl Necklace. You can have the Tahitian look at a fraction of the cost.
Are you looking for the perfect strand of pearls with a particular size, color, or shape in mind? If we do not have them at Chardé, we will do our best to help you find that strand and make that dream a reality.
xoxo Chardé
P.S. Remember, always put your pearls on last when you are getting dressed. Aquanet is not a pearl's best friend.
