I'm an earrings girl, so if I had to choose a piece of jewelery to name after me, I would go with something like the Lani earring -- Renaissance-inspired (I'm Italian, of course!), simple, timeless, and unconventionally lovely.
#1.1.1 Francesca on 2009-07-23 08:09
If I had a necklace named after me it would have a double chain, one being long and tarnished gold and the other a sterling silver chain. I would definitely have a turquoise and green enamel butterfly charm on the long gold chain and on the shorter chain have a silver wishbone or initial charm and a turquoise stone charm too. I wish I could make jewelry!!
#2 Heather on 2009-07-21 12:50
If I had a necklace named after me it would be a silver long drop with a fork spoon and knife on it and then a smaller chain with the first letter of my first name.
#3 Haley on 2009-07-21 13:17
Honestly, if I had a necklace named after me it would probably look a lot like the Barbara necklace Robyn Rhodes currently has on her site - big & chunky. Maybe a little longer chain though.
#4 Rayna on 2009-07-21 13:30
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would probably be a ring with a simple garnet stone.
#5 Erica on 2009-07-21 13:33
If I had a necklace named after me, it would be something classic and wearable like a gold medallion necklace.
#6 Heather on 2009-07-21 13:33
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me it have to be a bracelet cuff molded to look like a lion jumping in the air. the sides of the cuff being his two front legs, and the top being his body ready to pounce. I can picture it now.
#7 Jeanne Anne Weir on 2009-07-21 13:36
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would be a channel necklace with gold lotus flowers. I call my newborn daughter lotus, as a nickname, and the channel design represents all of the fun stages and events that have happened and will happen in my marriage to my amazing husband.
#8 Deirdre on 2009-07-21 13:42
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me it would be a charm bracelet with little pieces that reflect my personality, interests, and quirks. Like a little blue glass evil eye bead to symbolize when I lived in Turkey or little silver sneaker for the marathon I ran (and more I hope to run!). I like the idea that something named after me would be able to have personal touches and additions made to it by its owner, making it unique to the person wearing it.
#9 Robin on 2009-07-21 13:47
A piece of jewelry named after me would be 3 chains, each with an enamel charm and the 3 charms would be a koi fish, a water lily and a frog to remind me year around just how much I enjoy my water garden.
#10 Jody Hickmott (Homepage) on 2009-07-21 13:52
If I had a necklace named after me, it would have to be named Lucky In Love, because that's the way I've been feeling lately. It would be pink, with a red heart, with light green trim. The chain itself would be mixed with tiny jade green stones. I'd wear it everyday with my jeans, real close to my heart.
#11 Lil on 2009-07-21 13:58
My name is Jing (also my Chinese birth name), which loosely means “grass that grows vigorously”. I picture a lariat necklace with long, thin, and pale green pieces (resembling grass) intermingling with silver leaves. It’d be a fun summer piece to wear that easily matches with my fave top or dress.
#12 Jing on 2009-07-21 14:04
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would be a necklace, long chains with peridot that hangs in layers across the chest, possibly framing 1 large peridot stone in the middle. Something that could be worn both casually with a summer dress or more formally with a cocktail dress. Versatile.
#13 Jaymie Garner (Homepage) on 2009-07-21 14:16
Long and with multiple chains, with pearl and leaf details in gold.
#14 Connie on 2009-07-21 14:38
I would design a bold gold cuff with turquoise and coral beads. Something really funky that would add a pop of color to a LBD or a t-shirt and jeans.
#15 Liz on 2009-07-21 14:45
Love her stuff!!

If I had a piece named after me it would probably be sterling silver, a long chain, with maybe one natural element (bug/tree/leaf) or a cluster of charms - because I'm always outdoors hiking and swimming or walking my dogs. Maybe even a claw or tusk added in. Feminine, natural, and tough.
#16 Katie on 2009-07-21 15:06
If I had a necklace named after me, it would probably be silver, pink, and black. Maybe two or three chain lengths and on the long side. It wouldn't have a clasp though, because those always get turned around to the front! LOL!
#17 Nicole on 2009-07-21 15:18
Very cute!

If I had a piece named after me it would probably be a double "strand" necklace. The outer strand would be kind of flashy.. made out of big, chunky natural cut stones.. maybe some gold beading thrown in for a little bling :-p The inner strand would be a delicate gold chain with a single emerald or ruby teardrop pendant.. I think that shows both sides of me.. the flashy, colorful outside and the sweet and simple inside:-)
#18 Nana on 2009-07-21 15:20
The Jessica necklace would have three long, delicate chains. The first chain would have tiny beads. The second chain would have three charms; a small running horse, a cross and a heart. The third chain would have a larger natural pink Rubellite or Sapphire stone.
#19 Jessica on 2009-07-21 15:30
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me I would want it to be a string of pearls with a modern twist on them!
#20 Anmol on 2009-07-21 16:00
God, that necklace is gorgeous!! I love how delicate the chains are, and the detail around the elephant...it's awesome :-)

If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would be a necklace (with matching earrings of course) that would be simple, but elegant. The necklace would have a moonstone set in the middle of a silver, delicate, circular, ornately-detailed pendant with lots of intertwined pieces of metal. It's hard to explain what I'm talking about, but it would look really cool, a little quirky, and highly individual.

The earrings would be smaller versions of the necklace, and would hang down about 2 inches until they reached the dime-sized pendant at the end.
#21 Dani on 2009-07-21 16:05
If I had a necklace named after me, it would be a simple, gold chain with an emerald, or another deep green stone at the end. The stone would be partially wrapped up or encased in gold wire. It would simple, with a little complicated twist at the end, like me!
#22 Cori on 2009-07-21 16:11
awesome giveaway yet again bb!

A miss neira necklace would have one long chain with charms of a dragonfly and swirly patterns of metal hanging off the end..simple and divine!
#23 Neira (Homepage) on 2009-07-21 16:55
An april in Paris necklace would be many strands of silver and gold thin long chains, a few semi precious strands (especially light blue aqua and pale yellow) that were long as well. I would want an antique key or French legion medal attached off center . The back would have a decorative bow of lace a la chanel.
#24 april on 2009-07-21 16:59
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would be comprised of several shiny gold chains of various sizes and lengths. Layering necklaces have been quite a classy and chic style lately and I would surely incorporate that into my design. I have also always loved the organic look. So, dangling at the bottom of the middle chain would be a small, carved leaf shaped pendant in a natural,cherry wood tone color.
#25 Amanda on 2009-07-21 17:34
A piece of jewelry named after me would have to be square. A square pendant or better yet, little square box ear-rings.
#26 Patricia on 2009-07-21 17:37
A Laura necklace would be on a thin silver chain, featuring a delicate silver web with a small spider whose body was an opal. I'd wear it all the time!
#27 Laura on 2009-07-21 17:39
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me...it would probably look like a butterfly because my name means "butterfly" in Latin!
#28 Vanessa on 2009-07-21 19:13
I would have something with an elephant, since they are my favorite animals. Flower petals since it represents femininity and something pink on a gold chain.
#29 Kyung on 2009-07-21 19:13
I love over the top and lots of color. So then..a necklace with a rainbow of color, crazy charms, multi layers, almost childish but mature enough for an adult to pull it off. Well..I'm 29 and still shop the kiddie jewelry section.
#30 Roxanne on 2009-07-21 19:16
A piece of jewelry named after me would be a statement ring. An "Elyn" ring would be a cluster of 7-9 Emerald colored stones in various sizes in the placed in the shape of a rhombus. The top corner of the rhombus would be pointing towards the left and the ring would have a silver band.
#31 Elyn on 2009-07-21 19:29
a piece of jewelry made with me in mind. would be a bib necklace. It would give pizzaz to a day ensemble and it spice up a friday night drink. it would have to be black with pops of bright color, enough to impress and not overpower.
#32 Karine on 2009-07-21 19:43
The "Madeleine" would be an exquisite piece of art jewelry. It would be a large teardrop necklace studded with turquoise and coral, which are vibrant on any skin, with a middle stone of Amber, as homage to my Polish roots. All this would be on a gold backing.
#33 madeleine piros on 2009-07-21 19:47
I'm a traveler. So, I would want the "Jennifer" necklace to represent the many places I've visited as well as be a piece I could wear daily. I would like it to be a one-strand gold necklace with small charms at the end of the strand. The charms would be in the shape of a country (or continent or state) that I have been to.

The Robyn Rhodes jewelry collection is beautiful!
#34 JK (Homepage) on 2009-07-21 20:12
It would look just like the gwen necklace... multi strand chain with a cool pendant!
#35 Lauren on 2009-07-21 20:18
The Christine would be a white gold ring with an emerald cut sapphire in the center surrounded by a pave design with dozens of small diamonds flanking the sapphire.
#36 Christine on 2009-07-21 20:55
I love that necklace, it's so gorgeous and unique!

A "Natalee" piece of jewelry would be a long necklace-29"- that is a vintage (or vintage looking) gold chain, with a chain tassel at the end. The clasp would be a pair of delicate, interlocking butterflies, and would be on the right side of the necklace as opposed to at the back of the neck. At the bottom of the necklace would hang a teardrop shaped amethyst stone (purple is my favorite color!), a small pearl flower with a swarovski crystal at the center of it, and a circular piece of stamped gold with a heart etched into it. The chain tassel I mentioned before would hang about an inch below the stone, flower, and the gold charm.

This necklace is really vivid in my mind so I hope I described it ok :-)
#37 Natalee on 2009-07-21 21:58
Sterling silver, small pendant on a short chain, the pendant would be a twisted knot.
#38 Jessica Smith on 2009-07-22 09:56
The Srujana necklace would be delicate and earthy- a layered piece with a small silver charm, either in the shape of a star or a lotus, over which hangs a faceted blue or purple quartz teardrop.
#39 Srujana on 2009-07-22 10:27
My name is Aimee, which means "loved one" in French. A piece of jewelry which would best reflect my name would have to be a Victorian oval shaped locket with filigree. The locket would be engraved with the phrase, "Aimer et etre aime" which means "to love and be loved". Delicate and classic, on a long gold chain. Inside the locket would fit a small photo of you and your loved one, because I think jewelry should reflect the love and happiness in your life. This style reflects my name to a T :-) I would love to win that necklace, it makes such a beautiful statement!
#40 Aimee Lawrence on 2009-07-22 11:16
This is a tough question...I would be honored to have any of the Robyn Rhodes jewelry named after me!
#41 Maria on 2009-07-22 12:04
The "Nikki" would be a triple-wrap bracelet with two thin black leather straps studded with small golden grommets and a thick sterling silver chain with enamel, stone and wood charms. I love the eclectic look of mixed metals and materials!
#42 Nikki on 2009-07-22 12:23
I would love a statement necklace named after me...one with black jewel stones arranged in a geometric pattern
#43 Jennifer on 2009-07-22 15:08
Hmmm.... good question. I would love a Chaos Theory necklace, extra long double strand with several different looks & many many jeweled colors- primarily beads but a very eclectic mix, including amber, turquoise & amethyst.
#44 jooled (Homepage) on 2009-07-22 15:10
A "Megan" necklace would have one chain layer, and the pendants would be inspired off of peacocks, including greens and turquoise pieces dangling from the chain - all at different lengths and widths.
#45 Megan (Homepage) on 2009-07-22 19:00
The necklace with my namesake would be classic and versatile - fit to wear for any occasion! It would have two Jade stones attached with a light gold chain. One stone is "sitting" on top of the other.
#46 Eva on 2009-07-22 20:30
I love big jewelry, not quite gaudy, edgy yet classy. (That's possible, right??) I've been looking for the perfect metallic statement necklace. The "Chloe" necklace would would be multi-chained in a gunmetal/burnished silver. More and more chains would be welded together until the necklace turned into a wide (3 inches?) v-shape at the end. The v would be encrusted with jewelish-stones in opague/silvery tones. There would totally be a matching ring echoing the v-shape and stones.
#47 Chloe on 2009-07-22 21:31
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it would be a necklace with three gold chains, with a golden butterfly on each chain, smaller butterfly to smallest chain.
#48 Nelly on 2009-07-22 22:03
if i had a necklace named after me (andolina) which means a swallow bird in spanish... i would like the necklace to have three pendants .. the shortest one would be a jade bi encrusted with gold around the edges, the second pendant would be a swallow bird shape made of mother of pearl encrusted also with gold all around the edges and finally an asian coin used by robyn rhodes on her other designs for the last pendant but also encrusted with gold on the edges.
#49 andolina (Homepage) on 2009-07-22 22:50
If I had jewelry named after me, it would be a simple silver necklace that was nature inspired. Probably a leaf of some sort, combined w/ something representing water, like turquoise or aquamarine.
#50 Cheryl on 2009-07-23 08:00
I don't know what an "amanda"(me) necklace would look like .... but I love the "debbie" necklace on the website.
#51 amanda Cable on 2009-07-23 08:27
i share the name with a french ballet so i'm picturing a necklace with something frilly/pink.
#52 giselle on 2009-07-23 12:19
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me it would be the Rita necklace. It is perfect! I have wanted it since I saw it on InStyle magazine.
#53 Paola on 2009-07-23 14:51
that's a tough question Budget Babe...

Justine, which means 'justice' would probably have to be something with a bit of an edge, but a clean elegant looking thing... at least that's what I think of when I think of justice...
#54 Justine Urbikas on 2009-07-23 16:14
Catherine is such a regal name . . . it makes me think Catherine the Great. So maybe something ornate and elaborate. Are crowns an option, haha? Guess not.

Probably a really huge cocktail ring with a center like one of their old jeweled and gilded easter eggs, with small flower details around it.
#55 Catherine on 2009-07-23 17:51
If I had a piece of jewelry named after me, it'd probably be a necklace with many interlocking, tangled-looking pieces because my life is hectic like that! It'd also have some fiery red and calm blue stones hanging from them because I'm very passionate about life and yet, I'm very patient and mellow when I need be! This necklace will scream "statement piece!" & it's definitely not for your average gal ;-)
#56 maria on 2009-07-24 04:50
My jewelry would be a necklace and likely feature a purple stone since that's my favorite color.
#57 Rachel on 2009-07-24 11:03
An open link gold chain with a tiny sun, moon and star pendants!
#58 Michelle Kelley on 2009-07-24 11:40
My necklace would probably be a gold plate with little pink and white roses all around it and a second chain with a little pink stone.
#59 Callie Rose on 2009-07-24 17:58
I'm thinking of a silver necklace with turquoise stones in the center.

Thanks for the giveaway! That is a beautiful necklace. :-)
#60 Trang on 2009-07-25 12:00
A simple purple satin cord bracelet with a few dangling silver charms would be perfect :-)
#61 Susan on 2009-07-25 13:43
If I had a necklace named after me, it'd be a lot like the Rita necklace: long, delicate, multi-chained with an Asian influence/inspiration.
#62 Sandra on 2009-07-27 16:16
The "Safia" piece of jewelry would be a gold ring with the skyline of Beirut (along with the shore) inscribed on the outside and the inside could be personalized with one's name or quote or whatever is meaningful.
#63 Safia on 2009-07-27 19:33
