Glam and glitz at half the price

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Especially when those girls are Jennifer Love Hewitt on the cover of Rolling Stone or the vamps from the hit cable show “Sex and the City.”

The diamonds those ladies wear were set by Mia & Lizzie, a duo who give kicky designs to precious gems.

So, if you don’t have a Harry Winston budget but still want to sparkle like a celeb, pencil Mia & Lizzie’s first-ever sample sale into your calendar. Items normally priced at $500 to $8,000 will be offered at 50% off.

Fun and flirty settings include horseshoes, bows, cherries, anchors, hearts, peace signs and snowflakes.

If you miss the sale you’ll have to pay full price at Neiman Marcus, Fred Segal Tiara in Santa Monica, Bergdorf Goodman in New York and selected specialty boutiques.

Deborah Waknin, fashion stylist for Brittany Murphy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Courtney Cox and other celebs, likes the line because, “It’s young, it’s fresh, it’s pretty, it’s feminine and it’s very personable. It just reflects the individual.”

Shop today only from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Avalon Hotel, 9400 West Olympic Blvd., Beverly Hills.
