Lisi Lerch

I am so happy to share a tremendous talent on the blog today. Lisi has been sharing her creative spirit for over a decade designing gorgeous accessories. I love her jewelry collection for the fall which seems to blend regal classic styles and metals with a whimsical flair. I particularly love THIS necklace and THIS bracelet. What do you think?? I'd feel like a Egyptian princess, with the perfectly necessary, preppy taste. 

Lisi Lerch began designing in the spring of 2001 as a creative outlet while her husband was studying for his master’s degree. Initially the business consisted of just festive derby hats sold to friends and family through home parties.

As demand grew Lerch began designing pieces of jewelry to accessorize with the hats. Now including necklaces, earrings, bracelets and even tunics, the brand has steadily grown and today is found online at www.lisilerch.com and at boutiques across the country.  Preppy enthusiasts enjoy Lerch’s bright colors with tortoise being as dark as the collection gets and the classic motifs of pearls and bamboo.   

Go for the gold or not at all, that’s Main Line accessory designer Lisi Lerch’s motto for fall. For her fall collection Lerch was inspired by the flare of jewelry from Morocco, Egypt and India, specifically their use of gold coins. Lerch explains, “I love the subtle noise and movement of coins. The metal provides a beautiful statement both visually and audibly.” And a statement they are!

One of Lisi Lerch’s key necklaces for fall is the Rupee. Taking its name directly from India’s currency, the thin chain necklace features an assortment of dangling gold coins. While this season’s collection may be heavily influenced by gold coins, the pieces themselves are not heavy in weight. Pops of preppy colors can be found in the rest of the collection to compliment the golden hues. Jewelry from the collection is priced at $45 to $198.
