The Giving Tree

We've seen alot of laser cut, open work pendants and earrings as of late. The update to this is the "stamped" or cut out motifs. This is a great example of that and it's especially pretty because of the leaf patterns and the little diamond accent. I've done a similar stamped style of a peacock which should be coming out soon, stay tuned for details...

Since this is gold Vermeil, you get the look of real without blowing your budget. I think its exquisitely done and very tasteful. Kudos to Jennifer Zeuner!

Geometry, What's Not To Love?

I've always loved the idea of modernist fashion. There's something to be said about sleek, geometric forms in our accessories and we don't often get to really wear them. Here's something that I think you'll like. It's a cuff bangle by Schullin that incorporates a hard edged look with typically feminine materials like gold and diamonds. This can be worn with a crisp white blouse, or juxtaposed against a soft silk dress. The diamonds are small and unobtrusive enough for daytime and yet shiny and bold enough for evening. It's also a nice change from the usual beads and baubles that we're so used to wearing. And if you're from the city like me, it seconds as a great weapon against those aggressive tourists and sidewalk crowds. Just kidding, I couldn't hurt a fly!
