{ CROSSroads }

Ornate jeweled cross necklace pairs with delicate sheer lace for a true chic look!

Crosses have been worn for centuries as art, symbolism, faith and for their beauty…

For many of the Christian faith, the cross is the choice of personal adornment. There are
many different types and styles of cross necklaces ranging from simple polished
styles to extremely embellished designs. One of the most popular is the Maltese cross style
that has accents or focal points of cyrstals, diamond or precious stones!

 We’ve done our research and have highlighted a few her that represent some of the most sought after that we could find from antique shops, estate sales and some that we carry in our online jewelry boutique at savings up to 75% off retail!

Some people gravitate toward a more elaborate and ornate encrusted cross look, which we love! The versatility of the clear stones make our pieces wearable for year and years to come!  We love to hear stories of how our customers hand down their pieces they’ve purchased from us to their daughters, nieces and cousins!  It’s a true testament to our talented stylist how all ages look and feel great in our pieces! We’re SO grateful to be able to experience that with our customers and their families!

So, with all of the many ways you can interpret and wear this timeless symbol, we hope that you’ll find a way to incorporate one or more into your look and pick up a timeless piece for the someone you love, they’ll always remember it was you who started off their CROSS collection!

In great health and joy, TDL!

{ The Little Black Dress }

Hope you all had a fantastic, fun-filled and memorable holiday!  We sure did and are ready now to get back to things, however we missed our time away from you all!  So as we all know, fashions come and go, but the timeless little black dress, or LBD, has survived decades of trends and fads!  Introduced in 1926 by Coco Chanel, this icon has not only outlived its creator, but 85, yes 85 years later it can still be found in the closets of women all over the world!  Audrey Hepburn as Holly Go Lightly in the classic and beloved film, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, wore a sleeveless, floor skimming black sheath dress which was designed by Edith Head and Hubert de Givenchy, the top designers of their time and  in 2006 went to auction for $923,187!  To think if they only knew what they we’re designing would one day sell for close to 1 million dollars, they wouldn’t believe it, who would?!? One of the beautiful things about the LBD is that it acts as a backdrop for the wearer, it lets us shine!  This is why its stayed in style for so many years and is still ultra chic today, most likely it will be for next 50 years to come.  So, as you can see, it’s worth investing in a solid, well constructed LBD, in short, medium and past the knee for those elegant affairs / cocktail parties / weddings / etc!  You’ll find it’s the best investment piece you will own and with its versatility, you can continue to recreate your look with fashion accessories that play off the dramatic black background!  Here is our newest “Corinna” Onyx teardrop earring that offers you all the glamour and shimmer you’re looking for while keeping it all understandably CHIC!

Inspired {Layers of Love}

So, the other day we were walking past a magazine stand, and were taken by surprise to see one of our best-selling pieces, the ”Madison” earring, on the cover of a top fashion magazine…here, take a peek: http://www.tresorsdeluxe.com/apps/webstore/products/show/3113571 .  We always require authorization before any photo shoot, and our offices had not alerted us of this publication using our items this month, so we researched a little more and discovered they’re almost the exact earring, however they weren’t ours, but  they were over 6 thousand dollars!  So, we were delighted to see that our celebrity stylist, Lori, once again has selected the top current styles for you, and all for under $30!!!  Our customers love this particular style and are sending us positive reviews left and right! So, we encourage you to preview our stylish jewelry collections and buy them while you can still get them.  We carry limited quantities of our bracelet sets, rings, earrings and necklaces, so when they’re gone, they’re gone!

We also pride ourselves on timely delivery, high quality merchandise and affordable prices!

 Have a luxurious treasure filled day, XO Tresors De Luxe!

{Compartmentalized}

The humble tea-cup, either in porcelain, ceramic or glass, in most cases is not a multipurpose item.  Most people think of it simply as a holder of  hot beverages that we drink from.  Since we’re all about multipurpose pieces, mixing and matching, we wanted to show you a few ideas that we’ve come across that might be fun to try!  We love the antique china tea cups to organize and compartmentalize little accessory items such as rings, small earrings and even for little, easily misplaced items such as safety pins and extra earring backings…we’d love to hear if you give it a try!

In any drawer, antique china tea cups works as a charming and whimiscal storage area along your bed, in your dresser or closet…

Small cups and dishes placed on your bedside table keep everything at arms reach!

Little tea cups hold a multitude of things…you can find these and other unique holders at antique shops and estate sales!

Men were captivated by her beauty. Women wanted to bestow her charisma and sex appeal . Movie executives cast her as the leading lady, again and again. Married to a baseball legend, she lived the life most only could dream of. Underneath this house of cards, she was fragile and wanted nothing more than to be loved.  Here are a few images that capture the essence of this very unique and precious woman!

Have a luxurious and treasured filled weekend, Trèsors De Luxe!

Have you ever stumbled across an old love letter?

Did it take you back to that moment in time?

What did you do with it after reading it?

 Fortunately, we’ve found a few a that decided to hold onto theirs…

We’re O.I.L ( officially in love )

We couldn’t tell you how long we’ve been fans of just about everything vintage.  Maybe it comes from watching “Back 2 The Future” too many times, or possibly because of our passion for antique shops, estate sales and the famous State Street in Santa Barbara!  Nevertheless, we wanted to show you our latest vintage fashion advertisements that we’re O.I.L. over!
