Cher and Christina Aguilera’s new film, Burlesque, could get consumers thinking about vamping up their own wardrobes. Enter seductive, burlesque-inspired jewels—styles that speak to the genre, including colors like black and red, and the sultry effects of blackened metals and marcasite, and even animal skins like stingray; also think motifs like pinup-girls and tassels, and corset-like effects.
