A couple of weeks ago, I headed to The Richmond in downtown Toronto where media was invited to get a little pampering done in between shortened deadlines and covering red carpet events during the 36th Annual TIFF -Toronto International Film Festival. The Murale/Sally Hershberger TIFF Suite provided blowouts and styling from the Hershberger team, makeup applications by Murale Beauty Masters and Smashbox, manicures by Tips Nail Bar and Spa and a jewelery suite by lia sophia (pictured above).

I had heard of jewelry line lia sophia before, but this was my first time up close and personal with it.

This family-owned business offers styles for everyday life as well as the fabulous lia sophia Red Carpet Collection that you will be seeing on the necks, hands and ears of our favourite celebs: Solange Knowles was recently spotted with a ring from the collection!


lia sophia specialist Caleigh Randev (pictured above) walked me through the collection. What I like so much about the collection is the range of styles offered. What I saw on display was only a small representation of a huge line that offers everything from vintage looks to edgy pieces that will no doubt get you noticed. Whether you like delicate or statement jewelry, you'll find much to love with lia sophia!

And to get quality, long-lasting jewelry at these prices? You're going to want to make a list, girlfriend, because there is so much that you're simply going to have to have.

It was incredibly hard to choose, but I went with a huge black ring rimmed in gold - the perfect accessory for everything from girls-night-out to date night. And the gorgeous Cabana Necklace - 17-20" ($82)  pictured below - is everything I want in a necklace: a little old Hollywood glamour blended with contemporary design. There's a decidedly Mad Men vibe to it that I love. The question is - is it more Joan or Betty?

 

lia sophia is one of the best jewelry lines I've ever come across and I love that when you look at the pieces online, they suggest others that go with it. It's like having a specialist right there with you! And because it's not available in stores, I think you'll find that this jewelry stands out from the crowd - as will you.

To purchase their jewelry, browse the lia sophia catalogue online, then find an Advisor near you.
