Transformation

Things have been busy! As you can see from the pics below we've had a considerable upgrade in our Cambridge store - a beautiful new floor along with elegant new cases. When we opened two years ago we had inherited the existing displays and did our best to improvise & make things work. While they looked ok, lighting & proper presentation were an ongoing issue. No longer! These new custom fabricated cases have bright lights to illuminate every gem stone, engagement ring & antique on offer. Northampton has a new look as well which we'll show off soon once we get more pics - stop by & check it out for yourself!

 

Golden Ladder

Things have been busy busy so apologies for the gap in engagement ring posts - more to come tomorrow on that. For a gilded hold-over we've got our new Golden Ladder! This is a lovely antique library ladder that we moved (years ago now) from Brooklyn to Northampton, always knowing it would find it's higher purpose. The day has come - another coat of varnish & it's off to Cambridge where it will serve utilitarian function as well as add some purely aesthetic satisfaction to the mix. It's going to go against the gilded wall, so - gold against gold - where it will both disappear & show it's perfect contours in equal measure. Pics are from the basement where it's being worked on..

Gilded Windows at our Cambridge Store

One of the things we have most been looking forward to at our Cambridge store is completing our window signs.  We were lucky enough to have Sandra Spannan, an amazing artist, create the gilded gold leaf signage for our windows.  We are honored that we got to collaborate with such a talent- check out her other amazing work at www.see-painting.com!
