Scooters, Charms, and Roman Alarms: Accessorizing Like Royalty on the Run
In Roman Holiday, Princess Ann is the royal runaway with a flair for undercover escapades who could give any incognito spy a run for their money. She's tired of her gilded cage and yearning for a taste of the real world – gelato, anyone? Along comes Joe Bradley, the dashing reporter with a scooter and a secret, who's more than ready to give her a whirlwind tour of Rome. If the idea of zipping through ancient streets and causing delightful chaos with a charming stranger revs your engine, the Fernanda Earrings and Rafaela Necklace are your go-to accessories. These regal and romantic pieces are perfect for any modern-day princess (or queen in disguise) looking to add a touch of Roman adventure to their wardrobe.
Pearls Of Wisdom from Casablanca: A Timeless Romance Meets Timeless Style
In Casablanca, the epitome of cinematic romance, we're thrown into the smoky, jazz-filled world of Rick's café, where Rick, the brooding bar owner with a heart of gold (but don't tell him that), meets Ilsa, the stunning, mysterious woman with a past as complex as the drink menu. Amidst the chaos of World War II, they rekindle a romance that's as dramatic as Rick's perfectly tailored suits and Ilsa's flawlessly waved hair. It's a story of love, tough choices, and the line that launched a thousand swoons, “Here’s looking at you, kid.” Fans of this classic film are no doubt lovers of timeless jewelry design like the pearl and floral elegance of the Florentina Earrings. Yes, you’ll always have Paris, and you’ll always have Holly Yashi to supply you with sensational style.
Jazz Hands and Gemstone Plans: A La La Land Love Story
In La La Land, enter stage left: Mia, an aspiring actress with more ambition in her little finger than most have in their whole body, and a wardrobe that screams “future starlet”. She meets Sebastian, a jazz pianist with a stubborn streak and an impressive collection of vintage ties. Their love story whirls through Los Angeles like a kaleidoscope of dreams and melodies. If this toe-tapping, heart-fluttering romance makes you want to dance on air (or at least in your living room), then the jazzy, technicolor hues of the Mardi Necklace and Earrings will be your go-to encore. They’re just the things to make you feel like the lead in your own movie musical – jazz hands optional, but highly recommended.
Hearts Of Gold from The Notebook: An Unforgettable Story of Enduring Love
Picture Noah, the charming, rugged carpenter with a penchant for poetic gestures (and a jawline that could cut glass), making his heartfelt, rain-drenched declaration of love to Allie, the fiery, free-spirited belle with a wardrobe as colorful as her personality. If this scene sends your heart into a flurry, then the Amore Earrings and Valena Necklace are your dream accessories. Almost as ideal as your secret stash of Ryan Gosling pictures, and just the things for when you need a little romantic pick-me-up or inspiration for your next dramatic run through a thunderstorm.
Iceberg Ahead, But Make It Fashion: Sailing the Titanic in Style
Ah, Titanic - where Rose, the fiery, aristocratic rebel with a taste for the finer things (and a disdain for high society's shackles), meets Jack, the vagabond artist with endless optimism and a sketchbook full of dreams. As this star-crossed couple stand at the bow of the ill-fated Titanic, we're all swept up in their whirlwind romance. Channel your inner Rose with the Convertible Royal Heart Necklace and Anastasia Earrings. These gems are as bold and stunning as her leap of faith into a life less ordinary. While they’re sure to make you feel like an artist’s muse, we can't promise they’ll summon a Jack with swoon-worthy drawing skills – though we do recommend keeping an eye out for charming strangers at your next soiree.
Darcy's Dashing Glances and Regency Romances: Accessorizing à la Austen
Lit lovers are sure to have a special place in their heart for Sense and Sensibility and especially Mr. Darcy, a brooding, handsome heartthrob with a penchant for long, contemplative walks and even longer, smolder-filled glances. His twin flame is Elizabeth Bennet, the witty, bookish belle who can out-sass anyone in a bonnet. If the thought of Darcy’s soul-piercing stares in the rain sets your heart aflutter, then the Mariana Pearl Necklace or Cora Pearl Necklace are your fashion heroes. As timeless and sophisticated as Lizzy's sharp wit, and they’ll have you ready to gracefully navigate any ballroom or verbal sparring match.

He's as witty with words as he is with his sword. Enter Buttercup, the headstrong, beautiful princess with a penchant for riding horses and outsmarting villains. Their love story has everything – sword fights, quicksand, and yes, even Rodents of Unusual Size. If you’re the kind of romantic who’d scale the Cliffs of Insanity for love (or at least enthusiastically cheer someone else on), then the Mia Earrings are your enchanted accessory. Their sweetness and simplicity aren’t just a nod to fairy-tale love; they’re a full-blown tribute to fighting for your happily ever after, even if it means facing a few ROUSs along the way.
Lifts, Twirls, and Secrets: Stepping Out in Dirty Dancing Style
Welcome to Dirty Dancing, the land of scandalous (for the time) dance moves and summer flings, where Baby, the book-smart idealist with a heart as big as her hair, meets Johnny, the smoldering dance instructor with hips that definitely do not lie. Their story is a whirlwind of forbidden dance moves, lake lifts, and of course, that end-of-season party scene that made everyone reconsider their gym routine. If you're the type to practice dance moves in your living room, dreaming of a Swayze-esque partner to elevate your routine (literally), then the Dancing Circle Earrings are your perfect partners. They’re playful, charming, and just the thing to add a bit of cha-cha-cha to your step. Wear them and be ready to shimmy, shake, and take center stage – just remember, no spaghetti arms!

If your idea of romance includes a side of witty repartee and pondering whether men and women can just be friends (over a plate of what she's having), then the Holly Yashi Signature Earrings and Holly Yashi Signature Lariat are your ideal coffee shop companion. These chic, understated designs are just the thing for those who love their romance served up with smart dialogue and maybe a spontaneous New Year’s Eve declaration of love.

Hypnosis and Hijinx: Vintage Glamour for When You’re Somewhere in Time
Leap into Somewhere In Time, where Richard, the dreamy playwright with a flair for the dramatic and a curious obsession with antique photographs, stumbles across a picture of Elise, the captivating, turn-of-the-century actress with a gaze that could stop time (or at least make you want to build a time machine). Their story defies the boundaries of quantum physics, much like your quest to find the perfect vintage accessories. If you're the kind who swoons over love stories that span decades (and wouldn't mind a dashing suitor of your own), then the Isla Necklace and Isla Earrings are your wardrobe’s new time capsules. These vintage-inspired designs are ideal for those imaginary journeys back to 1912, where love is just a penny and an old three-piece suit away.

Penthouse, Business, and Bling: Strutting Through Life à la Pretty Woman
Stride into the gritty meets glitzy world of Pretty Woman, where Vivian, the vivacious, wig-wearing hustler with a heart of gold and a laugh that could light up Rodeo Drive meets Edward, the suave, scared-of-heights, businessman with a briefcase full of dollars and a smile that's worth a million more. It's a tale of love that defies the odds, shopping sprees that defy convention, and a piano scene that will sweep you off your feet.

These dazzling danglers, as eye-catching and transformative as Vivian's red dress, are perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their wardrobe. Just remember, when wearing, twirl with caution – these gems are as captivating as Richard Gere’s grin.
