Designer Highlight: Siman Tu

Water Pearl and Crystal Bracelet 

One of our featuring designers, Siman Tu, carries a range of custom jewelry from necklaces and earrings to pins and hair combs. Before we feature some of his beautiful pearl jewelry collection, lets quickly go over Tu’s life as a designer.

Jade Large Drop with Clear Crystal Earrings
Siman Tu was born in South Korea and came to the United States with his family at a very young age. In 1989, Siman Tu established his first haute couture jewelry enterprise, Bijoux Garden, Inc. Since then, Mr. Tu has enjoyed international acclaim among discriminating collectors of haute couture custom jewelry and luxury accessories. His jewelry lines are available at finer specialty stores and haute couture houses around the world such as Bergdorf Goodman, Harvey Nichols, Mitsukoshi, Nina Ricci, Carolina Herrera, Vera Wang, and of course, SWAG!

Siman Tu's collection have been seen on Miss Universe and Miss USA titleholders for the past four years. He has a star-filled following of celebrity clients as well. Names like Barbara Walters, Geena Davis, Catherine Zeta Jones, Anne Hathaway, Kim Catrall, Hilary Duff, Lindsey Price, and Mary J. Blige have all sported Siman Tu pieces. Tu's jewelry has also received some noticeable airtime. Many of his pieces have been repeatedly featured on popular TV shows like Gossip Girl and Lipstick Jungle.
Two Strand White Pearl Necklace

So why are Siman Tu’s designs so prolific in the design world? The answer simply comes down to the quality and craftsmanship that’s involved in making his lines. He has Victorian and Art Deco inspired collections, as well as wild nature inspiration in his semi precious stone jewelry. Much of his success can be attributed to his beautifully designed pearl infused bridal line.

Regardless of the line, the amount of detail and time is apparent in all his pieces. Sometimes it requires over 100 soldered parts and findings with thousands of stones to complete just one necklace. These attributes, along with his attention to delicate detail, ensure an uncompromising standard for each of these museum-quality pieces.

SWAG Highlight: Cocktail Rings


Garnishing our hands with beautiful cocktail rings has been a classic fashion trend for decades. Making its first appearance in the roaring twenties, fashionable women of that time would showcase their modern day style by proudly wearing cocktail rings while casually sipping on their champagne. From the 1920’s to 1950’s, these bold and oversized rings continued to make an appearance at all of the fashionable social gatherings and parties. Cocktail rings have continued to remain a popular accessory for party-goers, looking to add some glamour to their style.

Whether it’s one large gem or a colorful cluster of gems or stones, cocktail rings come in many various shapes and styles. Regardless of the style, cocktail rings are a must-have for all seasons.

Depending on your own style, you can change the look of an outfit simply with a cocktail ring. If you want a more demure, 20s inspired look, accessorize your hand with a single oversized gem. Choose a ring that looks understated from afar, yet has enough refined elegance to draw any eye up towards it once up-close. Now for the girls who want to make an instant statement and aren’t afraid of bling, then dress up two or more of your fingers in jeweled baubles.

Miriam Haskell Cocktail Ring

However you decide to wear your cocktail ring(s), parties are the perfect opportunity for you to give attention to your manicured hands and natural style, and cocktail rings are the perfect means of doing so. Miriam Haskell’s Large Cocktail Ring is one fabulous example of a cocktail ring find.

The Art of Layering Necklaces

Layering your necklaces is a great way to add some drama and glamour to any look. It’s also a major jewelry trend that has garnered a huge following in the fashion world this year. One of the nice things about this jewelry trend is that it affords you a lot of room to personalize your own style. While there may be many different ways to layer necklaces, there is still a specific art to necklace layering. Here are some strategies to follow if you want to master the look
Miriam Haskell 24" Pearl Strand Necklace

Lengths: Make sure your necklaces are varying in lengths and staggered. You don’t want to have two necklaces lying on top of each other.
Jose and Maria Barrera 39" Beaded Necklace

Mixing: Mixing different media, like gems and beads, are great because they add texture and character. Layering with different metals, like gold and silver, can also make a chic fashion statement. There’s a lot of room for you to be playful when you’re accessorizing, but make sure there’s a common theme or look matching each necklace. For example, you can match up the textures for two of the three necklaces and make the third necklace share some common similarity with at least one of the two.
King Baby Studio 38" Fine Curb Necklace with Crosses

Don’t Get Too Chunky: Your longest necklace usually looks best when it’s the slimmest. As the necklaces become shorter, or closer to the neck, they can increase in width.

Shoot For Three: When it comes to layering, more than three necklaces tend to be distracting. Unless your necklaces run on the more simple side, try to keep your necklaces to around three.

Play Around & Personalize: Don’t be afraid to get a little funky. Sometimes different lengths, textures or colors that you wouldn’t necessarily pair together may actually look great once they’re on. Also, don’t be afraid to mix your old jewelry with your newer pieces – it’s okay to be a little playful with your look.
Erickson Beamon Beauty and the Beast Necklace

Tip: Look for necklaces that have adjustable clasps at the back. Adjustable necklaces that can be lengthened or shortened are awesome when it comes to layering.

Why Do We Wear Jewelry?

Jewelry is a great way to express yourself and to tie any outfit together, but why do we actually wear it? When did people begin to wear jewelry and why? If you have ever found yourself wondering this and want answers, we have them here for you. Read further to understand a little bit more about why we wear jewelry.

Pandora Brown Tripe Leather Friendship Bracelet
The first known jewelry pieces date back to around 75,000 years ago. The earliest pieces of jewelry were typically made out of animal hide, leather, or reeds and were decorated with items such as animal teeth, bones, feathers, shells, pebbles, and berries. Some of our pieces, such as our Pandora Brown Tripe Leather Friendship Bracelet, are inspired by these early pieces and use leather to create a simple look. The use of gold and gems in jewelry can be traced back to Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures. Since then, adorning oneself with jewelry has been consistent across time, religions, cultures, class, and gender. A well-known theory to why people began to wear jewelry is to satisfy their higher needs.

You may be aware of the famous Maslow pyramid that displays our “Hierarchy of Needs.” What this pyramid conveys is several layers of human’s needs that have to be met in order for us to be completely happy or fulfilled. At the most basic level is our physiological needs, such as hunger and thirst. Next comes safety, then love and belonging, then esteem, and finally self-actualization.
Pandora Birthday Blooms Ring
The need for jewelry could be considered to fall somewhere among social needs and esteem needs. It can fit into the social category because of people’s needs to belong to a group, and it can fit into esteem because of people’s desire of recognition and status.

A way to identify with others through jewelry is the shared meaning we have created through it. For instance, with birthstones, someone wearing their particular stone representing their birth month may identify with someone else wearing the same stone. One birthstone item that we carry is the Pandora Birthday Blooms Ring.


Mawi Teardrop Crystal Earrings
Jewelry satisfies esteem needs by being an assertion of one’s wealth and status. It shows that lower needs, such as food and shelter have been met, so now higher needs can be addressed. Jewelry is a universal show of status because of its inherent value and natural beauty. We don’t possess anything like the natural splendor of a peacock, so instead, we use sparkly, colorful, and splendid stones and metals. For example, our Mawi Teardrop Crystal Earrings bring beauty and décor with eye-catching colors. Jewelry also implies things that would be impolite or crass to say, such as one’s status in society, or even their marital status, through the wedding band.


This is one of many theories why people began to wear jewelry and why we still wear it today. One thing that we do know for sure- jewelry is a timeless piece of beauty here to stay. To stay on top of current jewelry trends, view our edgy designer jewelry at our NorthPark Jewelry store!

The Art of Layering Rings

One way to draw attention to your hands is to layer rings on your fingers. Wearing multiple pieces can be a fun way to spice up an outfit or to add some drama to an everyday look. The trick to this trend is to have your jewelry look cohesive but effortless. It can be easy to go overboard, so here are some tips on how to successfully layer rings.

Stick to simplistic rings.
King Baby Studios Small Bow Ring
Pandora Celebration Ring
One way to wear a lot without looking overpowering is to stack bands on different fingers. This look will surely bring people’s eyes to your rings, and add effortless style to your outfit. A beautiful yet simple ring such as this King Baby Studios Small Bow Ring has plenty of personality but can pair well with other pieces on a hand. Looking for a ring that could go above or beneath the bow, why not this Pandora Celebration Ring? These two are perfect examples on how to wear two rings on the same
finger without it being too much.

Every finger can be a ring finger. 
Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia Arabesque Ring
Some may be scared to stray away from their ring finger when it comes to wearing rings, but all of your fingers deserve to be accented with beautiful pieces. Putting a ring on your thumb or pinky may be the perfect way to make your hand look complete. This Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia Arabesque Ring will bring some bling to any finger you choose.

Choose a focal point on your hand. 
Virgin, Saints, and Angels Crystal Ring
When you are picking out rings, you may want to put every attention grabber on at one time. We suggest that you choose one statement piece and let all of your other pieces accent your showstopper. One ring that will surely make this statement is this Virgin, Saints, and Angels Crystal Ring. When you are wearing this ring around your finger, it will be hard for anyone to stop staring at it.





We carry all of the current jewelry trends so you will never run out of options with us. If you are looking for more rings that you could layer on your fingers, check out our Dallas jewelry store or visit our online jewelry store at lovemyswag.com.

All About Pearls

Pearls, the birthstone for June, are one of the most timeless and treasured gems- something that will be in style for years and years to come. They can add a classic feel to any look or can update an outfit with more contemporary pieces.

Miriam Haskell Two Row Cluster Pearl Silver Necklace
Pearls are interesting because they have so many colors, shapes, and origins. Round is the most prized shape in the industry, but both saltwater and freshwater pearls are produced in a variety of shapes. They can be:
• Round
• Off-Round
• Oval
• Teardrop

Semi-baroque and baroque pearls are considered off-round, and they can be very asymmetrical in shape. Our Miriam Haskell Two Row Cluster Pearl Silver Necklace features round pearls, contributing to its elegance and worth.

Thomas Sabo Sterling Pendant with Mother of Pearl
Pearls are unique because they are the only gem that comes from a living creature. Pearls start out as a grain of sand or a microscopic worm that finds its way into an oyster. As a result, the oyster produces a smooth and hard substance called nacre to protect its soft body from this irritant. Many layers of nacre coat the foreign object and eventually harden, forming the pearl. Generally, the thicker the nacre is, the richer the “glow” of the pearl. This can greatly increase its value. Our Thomas Sabo Sterling Pendant with Mother of Pearl certainly has a strong glow to it.
Miriam Haskell Cluster Pearl Gold Earrings
Throughout the ages, these luminous pieces have symbolized wisdom, wealth, purity, romance, and mystery. Emperors, Kings, and Queens have all sought to possess them, and ancient Egyptians were buried with them. In Rome, they were considered the ultimate symbol of wealth and status, and the Greeks prized them for their beauty and association with love and marriage. Part of the reason for their value is their unblemished perfection-even though they are made through a natural process! No wonder they’ve withstood the test of time! Today, pearls are even used in more contemporary pieces to create more trendy jewelry, such as in our Miriam Haskell Cluster Pearl Gold Earrings.

Men’s Cufflinks

Scott Kay Unkaged Diamond Pattern Cuff Links
When it comes to jewelry, women have necklaces, bracelets, earrings … well you get the picture. Of course men can wear these pieces of jewelry as well, however, these items aren’t traditionally part of a man’s attire. There may only be one piece of jewelry that has universally been deemed acceptable for even the manliest of men – the cufflink.

For years, gentlemen have added a touch of class to their button ups with some stylish cuff links. Like other pieces of jewelry, cufflinks don’t necessarily serve a function other than adding a sense of style to an outfit. At times, cuff links have the rare power to turn even the most unpolished man into a dapper gentleman. A man wearing cuff links demonstrates to others that he is a man of taste and refined style. He has no qualms about looking good and showing off his more sophisticated side.
Scott Kay Unkaged Round Cufflink

Cufflinks come in a wide array of materials. They can be made out of diamonds, gold, silver, stone, pearls, or just about anything. Yet their versatility doesn’t always equate to wise style additions. So while cufflinks provide a great way for men to show off some of their personality with a dress shirt, cuff links can lead to a fashion faux pas. Like any jewelry, men run the risk of purchasing too flashy cufflinks. In other words, cufflinks that are too large or have too many adornments. So to make a wise style decision, it’s recommended the men purchase less ornate cufflinks that will correlate well with their outfit, while still providing a tasteful punch of style and fashion.
King Baby Studio Day of the Dead Cufflinks

Scott Kay and King Baby Studio offer cufflink collection with some great examples of stylish cufflinks that are stylish and versatile.

What’s a Midi Ring and How to Wear It

You may have noticed the recent trend of celebrities and local fashionistas sporting tiny rings worn at the top of their fingers, sitting between their upper and middle knuckles. These are called midi rings, but can also be called memory or tea rings. They are great for balancing out long fingers as well as drawing attention to your fabulous nails. Looking to join in on this trend? Here are some ways and reasons to incorporate this trendy jewelry piece into your style.

Pandora 190884EN16 Strength Black Enamel Ring

The great thing about these rings is there is not one particularly way to wear them- you can mix and match! The idea is to create new and unique looks, and to combine them with other jewelry pieces to make a statement.

Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia
Combining midi rings with other pieces can include stacking more than one midi ring together on the same finger, wearing different ones on different fingers, or combining midi rings with cocktail rings, such as our Thomas Sabo Clear Zirconia Cocktail Ring, and other large pieces. These larger statement rings are still meant to draw most of the attention, but the midi ring adds a sense of uniqueness and style opposed to a more simple look.

Pandora 190872 Changing the Seasons Ring
While stacking traditional rings may look cluttered and overwhelming, midi rings’ small size and simple style help create the perfect stacking look without weighing down your fingers. The style also avoids the clinking of your rings against one another that can happen if you are wearing several traditional-sized rings on different fingers. Your fingers can still look adorned without being uncomfortable or creating an overpowering look.
