Carol Dauplaise Jewelry has been turning out gorgeous costume jewelry pieces since 1978. The privately-owned company was founded by Dauplaise herself, after working almost 20 years under costume jewelry retailer Miriam Haskell. Her time spent at Haskell gave her the experience to branch off and create her own line of bold statement pieces.
The brand is known for lots of stone accents, embellishments, and pearls. As a costume jewelry retailer, the emphasis is on large, chunky necklaces and intricate bracelets and earrings. The jewelry can be worn as standalone pieces that will be sure to add the finishing touch onto any ensemble.
For those who like a little bling, Carol Dauplaise rings are to die for. One of my favorite pieces from her ring collection is the Hematite Flower Stretch Ring (pictured). My suggestion? Pair the ring with an uber-trendy purple nail varnish for a totally polished fall look. The price point for the collections is quite reasonable. Bracelets and rings sell for about $15, but many online retailers have past season’s rings on sale for as low as $9. Including necklaces, brooches, and earrings, all items from the current collections sell for under $50.
Carol Dauplaise’s contemporary collection is fabulous, but be sure to check out some of her vintage pieces as well. Though the vintage items are a bit more expensive, the jewelry has an antique charm that just can’t be replicated. The company’s website is currently under construction, but you can find Carol Dauplaise jewelry at other online retailers like Shopstyle, Dillard’s, and more.
