		<description><![CDATA[It takes a confident woman to pull off  this show-piece, jeweled necklace and uniquely cut, strapless white dress.  Obviously, the beautiful Garcelle Beauvais doesn&#8217;t lack confidence.  
 
 
Although the bold necklace might work better paired with a strapless black dress, the actress shows she&#8217;s not afraid to stand out by wearing the multi-colored jewels with a draped white dress with a scandalously high front split (or something that resembles a split). 
 


I think she looks smokin&#8217; hot.  My husband thinks she&#8217;s wearing a towel.
What&#8217;s your vote?  Does Madam Beauvais look Hot or Not?

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had the good fortune to work with great people in the TV biz,&#8221; she says.  &#8221;They know they can get pieces that are wearable or even tailored to their character from me. My work isn&#8217;t too trendy, but it&#8217;s always fashionable.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Taiwanese-American&#8217;s work is unique, easy to wear, and affordable.</p>
<p>She adds:  &#8221;I make what I love &#8212; delicate, fun, feminine designs. I&#8217;m often inspired by fashion and by the natural materials I use.&#8221;</p>

Check out these expensive-looking &#8220;Cluster Drop Earrings.&#8221;  I picked up a pair in white last month when they were on sale for $5.99, but they&#8217;re still a steal for only $9.99.
 
 
At two inches long, the earrings can be easily dressed up or down.   I like mine so much I may purchase them in coral and turquoise.

Read <strong>Hot Mama Daily</strong>&#8217;s interview with the Dominican Republic native (see photo), who has <strong>great gifts for Mom on sale</strong> in her <strong>Etsy </strong>stores.  </p>
<p><strong>Hot Mama Daily: <span style="font-weight: normal">What&#8217;s the inspiration for your jewelry?</span><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>Loella:</strong><em> <span style="font-style: normal">Overall my jewelry collections are inspired by my </span></em>Caribbean culture which is a colorful, flirty, and happy. I like to use bright colors for my designs and so even the smallest pairs of earrings will stand out.  </p>
<p><strong>HMD:</strong> What are your favorite stones and materials to work with?</p>
<p><strong>L:</strong> I use precious and semi precious gemstones; Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Garnet, Tourmaline, Peridot, Amethyst, and Quartz.  I also use sterling silver and gold filled wire. I am currently making a transition to 18k solid gold, fine silver, and incorporating diamonds to some of my designs.</p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_4226" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 340px"><img class="size-full wp-image-4226" src="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2009/04/il_430xn-1621454951.jpg" alt="tk earrings" width="330" height="439" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Galilea earrings, $225</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>HMD: </strong>When did you start your own jewelry line?</p>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left"><strong>L:</strong> I started making jewelry for myself and family more than ten years ago, and I started my own jewelry line about three years ago after getting so many requests from friends and family to buy my jewelry.</div>
<div class="mceTemp" style="text-align: left">
<div id="attachment_4227" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 340px"><img class="size-full wp-image-4227" src="http://www.splendicity.com/hotmamadaily/files/2009/04/il_430xn-149292430.jpg" alt="tk bracelet" width="330" height="264" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Chantou bracelet, $469</p></div>
</div>
<p><strong>HMD:</strong> Where is your jewelry sold?</p>
<p><strong>L:</strong> Right now, I sell mainly on Etsy and in person, by request and at trunk shows. I have an <strong>affordable bridal jewelry line on Etsy called </strong><strong><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5962660">La Boda Collection</a></strong><strong> </strong>and I am working on a new &#8220;daily wear&#8221; jewelry line. </p>
<p><strong>HMD:</strong> How would you describe your personal style?</p>
<p><strong>L:</strong><em> </em>I would describe my personal style as a combination of luxe-chic, bohemian, and romantic.  My jewelry designs are contemporary with a classic flare and full of colors that are always eye catching. </p>
<p> </p>
