Gifts, Day 1

Despite (or in spite of) yesterdays snowfall here in the Northeast, happy first day of Spring everyone! To kick off this new season & all that comes with it (holidays, graduations, weddings) we thought we would illuminate some of the gift items we offer in our stores. While it's true that we sell Diamond rings, we also curate a plethora of beautiful items that sell for well under $100. We start Day 1 with some of our own creations..

Register Earrings: When we opened the Northampton store Rebekah designed an entire line of earrings & necklaces that we placed next to the register at prices ideal for an impulse buy. The earrings have gone on to be best sellers & something we haven't yet offered on the website. These feature the same semi-precious gemstones of our regular line. The difference with these being that we don't make the findings ourselves so we can sell them for less. These start at $25 and go up to around $75, essentially wholesale prices! A steal for something that is handmade & of this quality.

Personalized Pendants: Another great gift item are these Pendant Necklaces we've started offering. There are a variety of simple discs to choose from that can be engraved with the intial(s) of your choice and, if you like, even accompanied by a small birth stone - ideal for a birthday or expectant mom. These have proven quite popular with partners for their wives as it's both thoughtful and personal, but yet so simple to conceive of! These start below $100 as well & are always a hit.

Antiques, Day 2

For our second installment of new antiquities we've got something really special. Dating all the way back to 1870 is an original Victorian Whitby Jet Necklace in beautiful condition. For the unfamiliar, Whitby Jet is a semi-precious stone mined in Whitby, North Yorkshire on the English coast in the mid to late 1800's. It is actually fossilized wood which when polished takes on a rich, glowingly opaque sheen. The way you know you have real Jet & not Onyx or Vulcanite is by it's weight, despite the size of this necklace it's very light. The pendant on this features beautifully set paste rhinestones. Jet has become highly collectible & this piece is particularly nice as it's on the original cord with the velvet tie intact - very wearable! 

Antiques, Day 1

Thanks to all of our wonderful customers the Holidays were incredibly busy & left our cases looking a little spare. No longer! Each day this week we'll be posting some of the new antiques we have coming into our stores. For today, a beautiful example of Victorian Micro Mosaic work in a large Sterling Cross Pendant. We're busy making this into a necklace, expect to see it in the shop soon..
