Simple and elegant. Michelle Obama has created a fashion style as unique as her approach to being America’s First Lady. An enthusiastic supporter of American — particularly Chicago — designers, Mrs. O is unembarrassed to show off outfits from J Crew, the Gap and even Target. And she’s not afraid to be seen in the same outfit or accessories more than once. She walks the dog, volunteers at the local soup kitchen, helps out at her kids’ school — she could be your next door neighbor! Women feel comfortable with this First Lady and her fashion choices. Not since Jackie O has an American First Lady attracted such attention for her fashion sense.

Simplicity is key to Mrs. Obama’s jewelry style which perfectly complements her clean-lined, elegant clothing selections. Daily jewelry usually includes a silver chain from which hang a silver-toned dog tag, peace symbol and other favorite charms that have personal meaning to the First Lady and predate her rise to national attention. Some jewelers have started offering silver and gold replicas of Mrs. O’s everyday jewelry, sometimes accented with a white CZ diamond in the corner of the dogtag. We’ve also run across some dogtags accented with birthstone colored CZ gems.

For formal state visits, Mrs. Obama often wears multiple strands of faux pearls or a large brooch, usually centered at the top of the neckline of a simply cut, single-colored dress. In keeping with her “ordinary folks” image, Mrs. O’s brooches, like her faux pearls, are likely crafted from synthetic gems like high quality cubic zirconia and richly colored lab created gems.

On formal occasions, Mrs. Obama has several times worn a collection of necklaces of various lengths and styles to marvelous effect. She pairs beaded necklaces of different styles with a single, large stunning pendant and a small pendant or two on fine chains. Generally a single color dominates the scheme, sometimes with a bold, contrasting color featured on a single beaded strand or in the large pendant. Set against her signature, classic-cut, mono-colored gown, the necklaces add texture and interest, creating a marvelously stunning look. Mrs. O’s look can be easily and affordably created by buying loose lab gems and cubic zirconia from online wholesalers.
