ACCESSORIES GIFTS FOR MOTHERS DAY/Accessories Council







Roman and Sunstone are a multi-label company offering casual to glam jewelry for everyday and special occasions 

Roman and Sunstone Showroom, NYC










Although flowers, gift cards and a meal are usually on the top three list for Mother's Day gifts...a more personal approach---equally as affordable-is to go the accessories route---selecting something that matches the personality and taste of the celebrated woman in one's life.

At a recent media event, hosted by the Accessories Council Prez- Karen Giberson and stylist, Alison Lang...we got to get up close and personal with a variety of on trend companies and their offerings- and individuals who hand craft items---in a relaxed setting (aided by OGIO wines' refreshing Processco-thanks!).

HIGHLIGHTS:

pearls with pops of neon color-by John Wind Maximal Art- takes a classic jewelry piece and adds pizazz.
also by John Wind Maximal Art-personalize some chunky chain bling with initial charms- inspirational word on reverse. BTW bonus points for this company being a member of the Accessories Council MADE IN USA initiative
