Favorite Fridays

Jackie Weppner was born to be a writer and in fashion, which is why her blog, Merci New York, is an esteemed member of our Favorite Friday's. 

Merci New York is well known in the industry.  Last summer she won Aisle Dash's award for BEST WEDDING BLOG, last fall, the New York Times' feature on wedding bloggers named Jacqueline as a selected guest for Martha Stewart Weddings' private runway fashion shoot, and Jackie was one of a few select bloggers invited to attend the Martha Stewart Bloggers Night Out Event last August.

We asked Jackie a few questions about jewelry, her answers below:

What’s your jewelry philosophy?

I am a big believer in bold, statement pieces that showcase your personal style. I tend to gravitate toward wearing one big vintage (or vintage-inspired) piece that catches the eye in a fun and unique way. I adore glam cocktail rings, chandelier earrings and any piece that has a chic, polished and decidedly-vintage look.

What piece of jewelry are you most thankful for?I remain eternally thankful for my wedding band. It's beyond special to look down at my left hand each day and know that I have the most wonderful marriage with the love of my life.


Silver or gold?
Silver for every day, gold to glam it up on special occasions

Pearls or gems?
How about pearls paired with gems? Is that allowed? ;-)
Chandeliers or hoops?Chandeliers. Oh so glam and chic!!

Thanks, Jackie!!!
