Boston Globe Fall Style

A couple pages from the 2015 Boston Globe Fall Style Guide. Our very own Quartz Bundle Necklace featured alongside a brief interview with Rebekah herself about Wedding jewelry & what makes our business unique!

 

Mike & Megan

These two great customers from Cambridge were generous enough to share some lovely pics from their recent nuptials. Not only do these pictures glow with love but they also show off the distinct & undeniable style of these two! The grooms ring is our wide milgrain band in 14k yellow gold and the bride's an Edwardian white gold filigree ring with beautiful old euro cut diamonds. After coveting our jewelers loupe in the store, they bought one of their own to bring to the wedding so guests could appreciate the details of the jewelry. The pins are from us & quite special as well - his a victorian sword brooch (*with functional sword) & hers a cupid pin that they swapped so they were each wearing it at different points of their wedding weekend. Wishing them both a lifetime of health & happiness!

Customer Profile : Laura

 Who are you and where do you live? 

My name is Laura, I am a former employee of Rebekah Brooks and I currently live in Brooklyn.

What are you up to these days?

I am an attorney for a Wall Street law firm during the week.  I am an amateur chef (for my fiancé or anyone else who comes to my kitchen) and avid city-wanderer on the weekends.

What inspires you? 

I am planning my wedding at the moment, and am currently very inspired by anything that focuses me on the simplicity and essence of love and marriage.  Whether it’s a song, a color or a taste, its anything that reminds me to take a step away from the fluff and focus on what really matters to me.

Vintage or Contemporary?

Both. I love a good contradiction.

How would you define your personal style?

I like to be comfortable without being boring.  I like very classic pieces that have a bit of a twist, or to wear contrasting pieces like ripped denim with a sequined jacket. 

How did you discover Rebekah’s jewelry?

I met Rebekah and her family right before her first store opened in Northampton.  I worked in her store for a year before I went to law school.

Do you have a favorite piece & why?

Rebekah designed my engagement ring, and found the champagne diamond I had always dreamed about.  I have been wearing it for nearly 8 months, and I still stare at it for at least 20 minutes a day. 

She also designed the most beautiful gold leaf earrings that she lengthened for me to accentuate my neck.  Aside from my engagement ring, I can’t think of another accessory that I feel completes an outfit of mine better. 

What keeps you looking good?

8 hours of sleep as often as possible. I drink as much water a day as I can.  And I get cardio in by dancing in the kitchen with my fiancé in the mornings.

* Thanks to Laura for doing this, it is belated going up on the blog & she is now no longer engaged, but married! Congratulations and wishing you both a lifetime of health & happiness xo

Vermont Wedding

A shoot from our friend Sandra Costello. Hopefully this will counteract the endless cold snap here in the Northeast with warm feelings of Summer in Vermont! The bride is wearing our jewelry, thanks to Vermont Vows for the tip off - check it on their blog here.

July Wedding

This beautiful & stylish couple are great customers (& people) who were nice enough to share some shots from their picturesque July wedding. It was an intimate family affair, the bride wore a gorgeous dress that she made by hand (!) & the groom - upping the ante for grooms everywhere - wore a vintage snake pin on his lapel that he purchased from our Cambridge shop. They have 3 rings from us (see pics below) and she wore our pearl & gold vine earrings. We feel honored!

June Wedding

There's nothing like a Summer wedding. The world is lush, the air scented with flowers in bloom & (hopefully) the sun is shining. This beautiful bride, a wonderful client of ours, generously sent these pictures of her special day. In addition to making her ring we also made the lovely Silver & Pearl necklace that compliments her dress so nicely. Wishing them a lifetime of health & happiness!

Sunset Proposal

A customer from our Northampton store (who happens to be a professional photographer) was nice enough to share these beautiful images from his pitch-perfect sunset proposal. Our thanks & heartfelt congratulations to them both!

'With Engagement Rings..'

Friday's NY Times featured an interesting article titled 'With Engagement Rings, Love Meets Budget'. For a purchase heavily driven by the heart and expectations - this article nicely illuminates some of the complexities that often accompany such a purchase. Worth a read - here is the link.

A Carat & A Half

Back to our engagement rings today with a big beauty. This early Art Deco (1920's) ring holds an incredible 1.35 carat center diamond - along with some beautiful side diamonds bringing the total carat weight to 1.5 - alot of bling! The diamond is accompanied by GIA certification & papers. The setting matches the brilliance of the stone perfectly with delicate wheat engraving & millgrain work. Antique rings of this calibur don't come around all that often, and usually don't stay around long. Come into our Cambridge shop & see how it looks on you finger..

 

January : Engagement Rings

In the depths of winter one of the highlights for us is the beginning of wedding season. This starts with a proposal of course, and if you're going to do that you need a ring..but not just any ring. We've got some truly gorgeous new (to us) engagement rings at both shops & are going to be sharing some of them here on the blog. Today's beauty dates to the 1930's and features an incredible sparkling 1 carat diamond in a transitional cut. There are some beautiful side diamonds as well for additional luminescence set perfectly into the white gold of the band. The big diamond sits nice & low on the finger so it's in no way garish, perfectly balancing it's antiquity with a modern feel - don't expect this one to stick around long.

 

New Wedding Band

While going thru the images we'd set aside for our Engagement Ring posts (closing with Day 7 tomorrow) we couldn't help but be wowed by these pics of a recent addition to our wedding band offerings. These are so lovingly paired together! The thinner women's 'wheat band' has become a staple of our line but the wider ring (more masculine though looks great on a woman's finger as well) is a newer design that dovetails beautifully with the original. Shown here in 14k Yellow Gold.

Engagement Rings, Day 1

With flowers abloom and Spring in full swing - wedding season is officially upon us! To celebrate this season of commitments we are showcasing 7 days of some of our favorite engagement rings (and maybe a few wedding bands thrown in for good measure). For Day 1 we've got one of the largest diamonds we've ever had in the shop! A truly incredible 1 carat trans-euro cut diamond in a gorgeous Art Deco platinum ring. This stunning ring has it all - brilliance and bling in a delicate, streamlined setting that looks incredible on any finger.
