With quirky fashionista fans like Mary Kate Olsen, Scarlett Johanssen, Blake Lively, Zooey Deschanel, and Lucy Liu, you can guess that Kimberly Baker jewelry will be more than just a bunch of pretty baubles.

Pretty much any other time of year, we'd see this photo of singer Alaska and her husband Mario Vaquerizo and merely wonder, "Hey, when did Steve Perry get a flatiron?"

Let's face it, in today's world we could all use a little positive inspiration. These bracelets from JMH jewelry are meant to bring just that to the wearer. Each piece has a custom designed medallion engraved with words to help keep you going in the hard times: determination, perseverance, integrity and passion. We checked in with the designer, Joan, to find out more about what inspires her.

Some days you feel pretty and strong, and other days you need a little help. On those days, we recommend Superhero jewelry, necklaces that will:

• protect you from harm
• attract people to you, and
• create magic in your life

Andrea, the designer of Superhero, creates the line in color families with upbeat and descriptive names like tropical, champagne, and joy. Each piece is a handmade mix of modern and vintage glass beads and vintage lucite beads, with sterling silver findings.

The variety in the beads makes every item unique, which is great for the gal who's not into having the same Tiffany's charm necklace as everyone else. We also love Superhero's beautiful and diverse models, who make the jewelry look that much more magical.

Check out the gallery and see for yourself how gorgeous these glowing glass necklaces are!

We had several entries for our StyleList Giveaway of designer-inspired bracelets by Finders Keepers. Fortunately, we got to pick two winners, so we got to spread out the joy.

Our first winner, Glenda K., writes, "Jennifer Meyer has such a unique style. I don't own any of her pieces but I do admire them from afar! She has a beautiful collection you can view on her website. Would love to win either of these bracelets!" And she did! The David Yurman-inspired and Brighton-inspired pair of bangles are going out to Glenda.

Our second randomly chosen winner this week, Heather, writes, "I love Silpada, so I'd definitely like some new look-alike jewelry!" Since she's a fan she will definitely enjoy the Silpada-inspired circles!

What do you get when you mix a background in dental work with art school metals training? Well, when you multiply that interesting mix by two, the result is the just-this-side of macabre Lady Grey Jewelry.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects. They work out of a studio in Brooklyn and as their totally cool site puts it, are "inspired by objects of decay -- such as teeth, branches and bones."

For years we were die hard silver aficionados. Hoop earrings, clangy bracelets, shiny necklaces, it was sterling or nothing. Gold was what our mother wore, for Pete's sake. It was classic but not cool.

Then, while shopping in Abbot Kinney, a too cool for us part of Venice Beach, we found the cutest four leaf clover charm necklace. Except it was gold.

According to the LA Times, guys are getting more and more into jewelry these days. Sales of men's jewelry doubled in the US over the last couple of years, and the trend is certainly visible on trend settin celebrity types from Johnny Depp to David Beckham.

So, why are men suddenly flocking back toward the bling? Some are saying that men are becoming more comfortable with making a fashion statement. Whatever.

Jewelry designer Lauren Wolf has some distinctive influences in her jewelry: She studied in coastal Mexico and now works "out of her studio in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge." While these might seem like opposing forces, she finds amazing and creative ways to use these two influences in her jewelry.

Textures like sting ray skin and and snake skin are cast in gold and silver, giving an urban feel to an otherwise coastal motif. However, I'm partial to the work she does with floral designs -- simple, beautiful flowers are given an edgy twist, so instead of just looking pretty and girly, they look feminine and badass (and who doesn't love that?). Lauren has lots of celebrity fans, including Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Michelle Williams, Penelope Cruz, and Brooke Shields.

This isn't your grandma's costume jewelry -- it's the real deal. If you're looking for an incredible signature piece that you can be sure folks will notice for years to come, you've got to check out Lauren Wolf.

VITA Como Wrap bracelets are a new must have for celebrities this season. They're fun because you can snap them together to make them longer or mix colors! Personally, I probably wouldn't wear anything that reminded me of a dog collar or of a funky new kind of S&M handcuffs. But, to each his own. If you're looking to make your day wear a little more hardcore, than these are the bracelets for you.

Each bracelet comes in at a handy $55.00 apiece, available at Harmony Lane. At 7.5 inches long you can wrap them around your wrist twice. Conveniently, they come with gold or silver studs, to match your jewelry. Oh, and I don't just mean gold and silver, the colors. I mean, the studs are made from 24 karat gold or real silver. For that price I would hope so!

Whether I like them or not, I have a feeling we'll be seeing much more of these bracelets in the near future. So far they've been seen on the likes of Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Montag, Hayden Panettiere, Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz and Selena Gomez.
