Stephanie Gottlieb Debuts Torque, Plus a One-Off Bracelet to Benefit Gyrl Wonder
By Brittany Siminitz | May 21, 2021
"A special one-of-a-kind bracelet from jeweler Stephanie Gottlieb will be available for purchase on Tuesday, May 25, with 100% of its proceeds going to Gyrl Wonder.
The bracelet, dubbed Hope, features a 3.02 ct. oval-shape pink spinel set in 18k rose gold, surrounded by 100 full-cut pink sapphires. “Pink spinel is believed to be cleansing and helps make room for positivity in your life,” says Gottlieb. “We thought that the symbolism here really spoke to the Gyrl Wonder mission.”
Gyrl Wonder seeks to empower women of color between the ages of 17 and 23 to build their interests and passions into a career, by partnering with brands to provide support through entry-level opportunities. Gyrl Wonder utilizes its programming, community service, mentorship, and flagship initiative, the Gyrl Wonder Leadership Academy, to equip young women with the tools they need to excel.
“We started working with Gyrl Wonder last summer, and it has been a pleasure to partner with them over the last year,” says Gottlieb. “Our most recent collaboration was a fireside chat for their members, where we focused on how to successfully build a business. As a business owner and entrepreneur, it’s my honor and pleasure to be able to pay it forward, to inspire young women to get excited about the world of jewelry!”

The trappings of youth—AOL dial-up internet, Spice Girls and renting a movie at Blockbuster video—all are comforting reminders of an era that feels familiar and certain because, well, we’ve lived it.
If there’s one accessory that instantly transports us, in Proustian fashion, to our Nanopet- and Tamagotchi-toting days, it’s the jelly sandal, which we wore in a variety of rainbow-tinged hues to match our friends’ shoes.
In 2018, Alison Lou transformed shoppers’ love of a throwback into jewelry courtesy of her “Jelly Hoops,” which boasted all the feel-good childhood associations in a flattering, wearable lucite hoop earring.
Dubbed “Loucite,” the Jelly Hoops scream warm weather.
In time for this summer, the latest Loucite hoops are a collaboration with LoveShackFancy, the clothing line that knows a thing or two about mining the past for modern inspiration, championing vintage-inspired prints in effervescent dresses.
The Alison Lou x LoveShackFancy Jelly Hoops come in two sizes, and three floral prints, all plucked straight from the latter’s dresses.
The “Piece of the Week” medium hoop earrings pictured at top are made of lucite and 14-karat gold-plated brass, and sell for ... "
