Lady Remington Jewelry has been used in a few Dress For Less columns, but I’ve not had the chance to demonstrate the variety and selection of jewelry available from this direct-sales company. So this week, I’ve paired Lady Remington with a number of designer pieces so that you can see for yourself what a lot of sophisticated jewelry you can get for a little money. Lady Remington offers special “package” bargains. Ask the company for more information.

Collars, goldtone earrings and brooches from famous names like Erwin Pearl, Swarovski and Carolee or look-alikes like Lady Remington’s will go with many outfits and are particularly well-suited for career dressing. How wonderful a big dramatic dragonfly or spider pin will look on a simple tailored suit, and pave crystal pieces are elegant for evenings out. For more information on jewelry as accessories, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope and $2 to the address below for my accessories tip sheet.
