After failing to find the perfect staple jewelry collection – you know, the one that offers up pieces that you never get tired of, get tons of compliments on, and goes with every outfit – Toronto-bred Hayley Schwartz took matters into her own hands, designing sophisticated, glamorous jewelry that caught the eye of a Las Vegas boutique owner and sparking the idea to turn her hobby into a business. Fashionistas instantly loved her long semi-precious stone heart pendants and the girlish twinkle wrap bracelets, granting Hay Luv instant style authority. Fast forward three years to the present, where Schwartz can count celebs like Molly Sims, Whitney Port and Hayden Panettiere as Hay Luv fans as she continues to expand the New York-based line. Recent pieces are inspired by Old Hollywood glamour, like the “Hollywood Luv Affair Ring,” which is truly worthy of socialite status.
