St. Louis Magazine - Jewelry Designer Alex Woo’s MLB Collaboration Hits It Out of The Park

Like everyone else in St. Louis, even fashion writers get Cardinal fever, so while perusing one of my newly favorite shops, J. Blanquart (871 South Arbor Vitae, Suite 103, Edwardsville, Ill., 618-656-6030) I was thrilled to discover a necklace that makes the transition from fine jewelry aficionado to baseball fanatic. Two stunning pendants—a sterling silver version ($188) and a 14K white gold version with diamonds ($1,098) are currently available, and offer something for both a moderate budget and those looking to splurge.  And while either bauble would undoubtedly dazzle at any World Series shindig, it’s the diamond version that has us “going to bat” with our thrifty side and ready to “take a swing” at something a little more luxe. The necklaces are part of a collaboration with Major League Baseball and Alex Woo, a jewelry designer garnering an A-list celebrity following (Jennifer Lopez and Miley Cyrus are fans) and a bevy of favorable press.
