Pendant prices range from $100 - $400. A gold chain is available separately for $65. The line has already attracted famous fans such as Padma Lakshmi who wears the diamond pave chili.

GOING GREEN
The Pantone Color of the Year is Greenery, described as "a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew." Get in on the color of the season with the Kelley Green Cashmere Blend Poncho from Atlanta-based Dear Keaton. Made from a lightweight cashmere and merino wool blend, the poncho features an asymmetrical style that can be dressed up or down or serve as a wrap on chilly planes. It costs $88 at DearKeaton.com.
