Celebrity Style Up Close and Personal
Maya Brenner is a name that every woman in Hollywood is familiar with and raves about. This designer founded her own business, Maya Brenner Designs and has been creating jewelry for over 9 years. She has gained long-time celebrity clientele including Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore, Mandy Moore, Salma Hayek, and more. Her jewelry can be seen on the brazen models of Michael Stars and has been featured in The New York Times Style section, InStyle, and Lucky amongst others.
Her recently launched Spring 2007 collection of jewelry is absolutely delightful and perhaps even more inventive than before. Steering away from semi-precious stones and focusing more of her creativity in developing charm necklaces and fine jewelry, her talent as a jewelry designer has tremendously grown.
Maya Brenner designs adorable and elegant charm necklaces. Since her inspiration in 2003 when she became a mother, her charm necklaces have been selling out nationwide. As seen on Teri Hatcher, the Silver Sparkler is a lovely, yet fun piece. A sterling silver leaf pendant along with a crystal quartz briolette 
and a collection of charms hangs from a silver chain. The gold version of this leaf pendant is also just as stunning and has been snatched up by Lindsay Lohan. A subtle and feminine find is the Lily Pendant Necklace. This lily design in sterling silver embraces a blue turquoise or deep garnet center, and also comes in gold. For something a little earthier, yet chic, the Coral Branch Necklace is quite unique. This silver necklace is graced with a sterling silver coral branch with natural details.
My personal favorite is the stunning Teardrop and Ring Necklace, which comes with a solid gold teardrop, a white gold diamond pear drop, and a minature 14K diamond ring, all delicately hanging from a white gold chain. This necklace will spruce up a simple tee while also adding elegance to a little black dress. This item is featured as a part of her fine jewelry collection, which runs a little higher, but is worth the splurge.
Maya Brenner also features a variety of gorgeous earrings. The Cognac Quartz Cascade Earrings are made of amber colored quartz droplets cascading downward with a tiny gold oval at the end. I love wearing this dainty pair with jeans because they so great with almost anything. For something a little more flirty and fun, the Apatite Bauble Earrings are perfect. Tiny briolettes are clustered together and hang from a sterling silver scroll hook. In addition to necklaces
and earrings, she also has a unique collection of bracelets featuring various stones like crystal quartz, turquoise, garnet, and iolite. For something more uniquely bohemian, check out her link bracelets. The Summer Link Bracelet with Santorini Coin is a gold-filled link bracelet garnished with summer stones, turquoise, cognac quartz, coral, 14k rose gold beads, and a Santorini coin.
