Silver Rush: Uno de 50 at Fashion Island

May 2, 2014

Gold always seems to set the standard when it comes to everyone’s metal of choice for jewelry, but silver doesn’t have to come in second place when it comes to bold, fashionable looks.

Enter Uno de 50, a tiny boutique that hails from Madrid that you may have easily passed on your many visits to Fashion Island. You would have missed a small but mighty treasure trove of gorgeous and rustic hammered silver jewelry with leather accents — all handcrafted.

Obsessed with wrist candy like these big bracelet cuffs? Then you’re in luck. There’s an entire wall devoted to statement cuffs, perfect for wearing alone or for layering with other bracelets …

Like this combination of three bracelet cuffs for a pretty boho-chic look.

Or this simple but rugged leather and metal number that OC Register fashion editor Julie Gallego instantly made a beeline for and had to buy on the spot. Look for her story on statement silver jewelry in the fashion section on May 20!

Or try this intricate and weighty collar necklace over anything from a strapless maxi or white or black tank for a pop of gleaming metal to finish your look.

Uno de 50 is located at Fashion Island near Macy’s, in between the Nike store and Tesla at 401 Newport Center Drive in Newport Beach. 949.640.2200 or unode50.com
