5280 magazine (named for the number of feet in a mile, mile high city…you get it) has more readers than any local magazine in Colorado. They review restaurants, sniff out good deals, expose trends and keep us informed about everything from sports to politics to the latest new cocktail. Every year they put together a special issue with their recommendations and top picks. This past year Common Era was lucky enough to be their Editor’s Choice for Best Accessories!

OK, so this photo is a little blurry…but look how cool this necklace is! Where can you find anything like this in Denver? Where can you find anything like this anywhere? Hand-crocheted lacey bits combined with metal chains of all sizes and a string of rhinestones. This is the ultimate tribute to the “tough but sweet” attitude. And you won’t find any two pieces alike, ever. Heck, you could even tell people you had it custom made for you and then they’ll slink back over to their table and ooh and ahh about how cool you are and how they never would have thought of that…

But we have so much more than just necklaces to offer! Glitzy clutches and messenger bags with monster faces! Gobs of faux pearls and delicate little bracelets… no matter what your style, we can jazz it up. What good is the perfect dress if you don’t have the perfect chandelier earrings to make heads spin? And remember- in this cold weather when you are all bundled up in a dowdy navy pea coat like every other poor sap- the best way to set your self apart is with a little fashion flair. Whether it be some fingerless gloves with an owl face, a knit beret or a fringed and studded purse, Common Era is queen of the accessories and we welcome you into our fashion kingdom…
