Celebrity Sightings: Platinum at the Alexander McQueen Costume Gala

Some people have asked why I post these lists of Jewelers and Designers being worn by the latest crop of "beautiful people".  

Whether they are the cute young stars of the latest teen TV hit, Celebrities who are recognized everywhere they go or the powerful "mover's & shakers" in Fashion and the publications that make them the icons we all look up to...I want you to see the people that are benefiting from a relationship with this clientele...visibility is what it's about!

So remember these events and organizations and add them to your calendar - it's about having the jewelry in front of them when they are looking for it...find out who styles the celebs you think fit your line.  

Bottom-line:  Step out of your comfort zone and make it happen!  I would love to see a new name on these lists!!!

If you love the gowns and fashion - may I suggest that you check out the coverage on one of my favorites (especially since she is giving more jewelry credits lately) Red Carpet Fashion Awards - or JustJared you MUST see the Turquoise Earrings that Bar Rafael wore...
