Trending: Bejeweled

Mention the name Christian Louboutin to any stylish woman and she will grow misty-eyed with visions of designer shoes with high heels and a trademark blood-red sole. One of the latest creations is the Pigalle Follies Patent Malachite collection of shoes and bags in a dizzy pattern of the deep green stone ornamented with jewel studs—decadent indeed.

We’ve been noticing a growing trend of jewel and agate patterns and forms in home décor, as well. Go luxe by pairing these lovely pieces with furniture upholstered in rich silks and metallic accents, or neutralize the decadence by juxtaposing the pieces against a sleek modern interior.
