VH: The Ultimate Luxury Jewelry Style Guide.
When curating your jewelery wardrobe, Viviana Halil stands out for its commitment to timeless elegance and sophisticated design. Our pieces are crafted for the woman who appreciates luxury without the need for ostentation—a woman who seamlessly blends high fashion with accessible style. Picture this: our stunning Gaia Bracelet set aside a simple Zara knit sweater trending on Instagram, or a pair of Amira Earrings that add a touch of glamour to your favorite Khaite danielle jeans. Each item we create is not just an accessory; it's like a piece of art that tells a story, reflects individuality, and serves as a testament to personal style. We all buy jewelry not just for its beauty, but for the way it makes us feel—confident, empowered, and uniquely ourselves.
At Viviana Halil, we believe that true luxury is timeless. Our designs transcend fleeting trends, becoming staples in your wardrobe that you’ll cherish for years. Imagine wearing a beautifully crafted bracelet that pairs effortlessly with everything from your work attire to evening wear. Each piece is designed with versatility in mind, allowing you to transition from day to night while maintaining a style that feels inherently yours. The idea is not just to adorn yourself but to express who you are through your jewelry, making each choice a reflection of your personal journey.
Demi-Fine vs. Fine Jewelry: Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Everyday Wearability
As we explore the essence of luxury, it’s important to understand the distinction between Demi-fine jewelry and Fine jewelry, and how we bridge the gap between the two. Fine jewelry has long been associated with precious metals and gemstones, often seen as a luxurious investment—something that can signify wealth, be passed down through generations, or serve as a special token for milestones in life. However, at Viviana Halil, we combine:
- Premium diamond simulants
- Precious metals
- Exceptional craftsmanship
When buying your jewelry pieces things you should avoid:
- Brass metal jewelry. While it is used in almost all trendy jewelry, and can be extremely tempting brass is considered a cheap metal mainly used for plumbing purposes. It is not hypoallergenic meaning it can cause allergic reactions due to its components zinc and copper. Also it is known to cause that green skin we have all been a victim of experiencing along with irritation and rashes.
- Stainless steel is another metal used that has become increasingly popular due to its chunky gold look. Although it is claimed to be water resistant it is not resistant to all liquids. It is also not a metal that does react to chlorine. Also very susceptible to dents and scratches. It is another metal that holds no value.
- Not all stones are made the same. Be sure when buying diamond simulants be sure to look at the quality and grading. All of our stones are hand selected for their premium qualities. We only use the highest graded stones. All of our Moissanite stones are GIA Certified and D VVS 1 quality or considered flawless.
I truly believe that luxury is felt not priced. Luxury is a feeling we bring every time with impeccable designs, exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Picture your vintage Cartier watch paired with The Tennis Bracelet. VH is revolutionizing the meaning of Demi-Fine Jewelry. Luxury should be inclusive and accessible. This philosophy is embodied in our Demi-Fine jewelry pieces, which offer the elegance and quality of fine jewelry but at a more approachable price point.
Imagine slipping on a delicate demi-fine necklace like The Petite Luxxe Tenné that features the same exquisite craftsmanship as a high-end tennis necklace but without the extravagant price tag. With Viviana Halil, you don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability; you can indulge in fine jewelry designs every day. It’s about creating a collection that empowers you, regardless of the price tag and allows you to wear your jewelry with pride and confidence everytime.

Moissanite vs. Diamond: The Future of Luxury.
As we navigate the world of jewelry, it’s hard to ignore the rise of moissanite as a compelling alternative to traditional diamonds. This stunning gemstone is gaining traction and is expected to reach 71 Billion by the year 2031 according to this Yahoo Finance Article. This must be due to increasing consumer awareness including celebrities and influencers who recognize its beauty and value. We love moissanite stones in fact we plan to expand our current collection with these beauties.
Moissanite is a perfect diamond alternative for many reasons such as:
- Moissanite provides a brilliant sparkle that rivals the look of diamonds, making it a suitable choice for those seeking luxury without compromise .
- An eco-friendly stone not only durable and cost-effective, but it also offers an ethical alternative to mined diamonds.
- According to the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), moissanite is currently the closest stone to a natural diamond, making it an excellent option for those who desire that classic diamond look without compromise.
Imagine adorning yourself with a moissanite ring that sparkles just as brightly or even more than any diamond, all while knowing you’ve chosen a stone that’s kinder to the environment. This choice is not just about aesthetics; it’s about making a statement—one that reflects your personal style, values, and commitment to sustainability. Choosing moissanite means embracing a future where beauty and ethics coexist, allowing you to shine brightly while supporting a cause that resonates with your lifestyle.

How I Wear My Jewelry: Effortless Elegance Meets Everyday Luxury
When it comes to creating a signature look, I’ve always gravitated toward simplicity in my wardrobe. I stick to an all-black palette most of the time because it’s not only sleek but also the perfect backdrop for making bold jewelry pieces pop. My Viviana Halil collection helps me elevate any outfit—whether I’m in casual loungewear or dressing up for a night out with friends. I truly believe that jewelry is the ultimate expression of style, and how you wear it says so much about who you are. Here’s how I style some of my favorite VH pieces to add the perfect touch of luxury to every outfit.
Everyday Luxe: Elevating Casual Comfort with Statement Pieces
There’s something special about taking a simple, comfortable outfit and making it feel luxurious with the right accessories. One of my absolute go-to looks is pairing The Nazari Necklace with my favorite lounge set—the Alo Yoga Accolade Sweatpants and the Alo Airbrush Heart Throb Sports Bra . You’ve probably seen this chic set on Kylie Jenner, and I love how the minimalist, sporty look contrasts with the elegance of the Nazari Necklace in a 20 inch length. This statement piece drapes beautifully and adds an instant touch of sophistication, turning a casual errand-running outfit into something effortlessly chic.
To complete the look, I throw on high socks and my Balenciaga sneakers for that perfect mix of luxury and comfort. It’s my favorite way to look put together while staying cozy. Whether I’m grabbing coffee, heading to a Lagree class, or just spending the day out and about, this look makes me feel confident, stylish, and totally luxe.
Girls' Dinner: Chic Glamour for a Night Out
When it’s time to head out for dinner with my girls, I like to bring a bit more glam to my look while keeping things simple and elegant. I always start by layering my bracelets because, let’s be real, there’s nothing like the sound of delicate jewelry softly clinking together when you’re making an entrance. For this, I love stacking The Novi Bracelet with The Gaia Bracelet. Both pieces have this timeless beauty that works perfectly for a night out, adding just the right amount of sparkle to catch the candlelight at dinner.
When it comes to rings, I’m all about bold pairings. My go-to combo is The Alessia Ring and The Adara Ring —they complement each other beautifully, creating an eye-catching balance of shine and sophistication. And for earrings, you’ll always find me in my absolute favorite studs: The Vienna Stud in 2ct. They’re the perfect size to add a touch of sparkle without being too over-the-top, making them ideal for any occasion, from a casual brunch to a dressy night out.
For the outfit, I like to keep things sleek and stylish. I pair my jewelry with Le High-Rise Straight Leg Frame Jean in Black Finn , a pair of jeans that fit like a dream, and a La Pointe Jersey Mock Neck Bodysuit for that perfect blend of comfort and polish. To finish the look, I slip into my favorite Saint Laurent Jaspe Kitten Heel Sandals , which add just the right amount of height and elegance without sacrificing comfort. It’s an effortless, glamorous look that always makes me feel ready to take on the night.
My Style Inspiration: Georgina's Timeless Glamour
I’ve always been inspired by Georgina’s Rodriguez dreamy yet sleek, glamorous style. Her aesthetic is the perfect balance of understated elegance and bold, timeless beauty. Her ability to make simple pieces look effortlessly stunning has always resonated with me, and it’s a vibe I try to capture in my own style. At Viviana Halil, we took direct inspiration from her for some of our most beloved pieces, including
Both rings reflect her chic, refined taste while offering a modern twist. The Georgina Ring is bold yet understated, perfect for adding a touch of glam to your everyday look, while The Gio Ring captures that sense of quiet luxury. These are the kinds of pieces you can wear with anything—from your favorite little black dress to your everyday lounge wear—and still feel like you’ve elevated your outfit to a whole new level. If you love Georgina’s style as much as I do, you’ll want to check out these rings and experience that effortless elegance for yourself.
Why Jewelry is Your Ultimate Style Signature
Jewelry has not always been my favorite way to express myself but during my travels I found myself reaching for that jewelry piece to complete my look. If you didn't read my previous blog, I go into detail on how this inspired VH the brand. It’s the finishing touch that can transform any look, and it’s often the first thing people notice. Whether I’m going for everyday chic or full-on glamour, my jewelry always reflects my mood and personality. I believe that everyone should have a jewelry wardrobe that speaks to their unique style—pieces that you reach for every day because they make you feel good.
Lets be honest, most of us only think about our wardrobe capsules but building a jewelry capsule is just as important as curating your wardrobe. Just like your favorite pair of jeans or that little black dress you always turn to, your jewelry should be versatile, timeless, and a reflection of who you are. That’s why we design pieces that are both classic and bold, so you can effortlessly mix and match to create looks that are entirely your own.
To close, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite fashion quotes, which perfectly captures my approach to style:
"Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." – Rachel Zoe
At Viviana Halil, we truly believe that jewelry is the ultimate form of self-expression. It tells your story, elevates your look, and lets your inner confidence shine through. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual for the day, the right piece of jewelry has the power to make you feel like the best version of yourself.
