Spring Things

We've gone from Spring, into Summer - now back to Spring. However the warm weather arrives you will not find us complaining about any of it - only reveling in the new growth & green that abounds. Some seasonal inspiration below, pics from this past week..

Sapphires!

The studio just finished a pair of earrings to match a customers Sapphire necklace they received as an anniversary present. As you can see below, the set turned out beautifully! It got us thinking, one of the Japanese department stores we sell to commissioned our Vine Necklace in Sapphires as a special order. We never got a picture of it before it shipped but as you may imagine, it looked absolutely incredible. Time to make another..

May Fare

The stores are abloom in activity with the studio humming along just trying to keep up. Lots of gorgeous new jewelry coming in weekly with incredible rings being made (custom & stock) and so many amazing antiques coming & going before we even get a chance to catalog them! Blogging efforts have taken a bit of a back seat so below, a pictoral sampling of some of the action with a promise of more regular posts soon.

Springing

We've been busy at work creating a new collection for the season with soft hued gemstones & some gorgeous new castings. We'll be showcasing these here on the blog & more importantly in the stores (!) in the next few weeks. The pics below are a shot from our studio desk and a couple inspiring storefront pics from a recent trip to NYC - the world is alive with color!

Annual Spring Sale in Northampton!

Our Annual Spring Sale is happening this weekend. We mark select items down 40%! Be sure to come by the store, the earlier the better. Once the pieces are gone, they are gone! Happy Spring to you all and we hope to see you this weekend.

Emerald Earrings

One of the advantages of precious stones (Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires) is the undeniable saturation of the color. These earrings frame the face beautifully & have the unique ability to illuminate themselves no matter if your hair is down or up, or your coloring is light or dark. Gold & green is a classically stunning combination as illustrated here: At top we have our Medium Vine Earrings with Emerald rondelles & heart shaped briolettes. These earrings tend to elevate anything they're worn with! At the bottom we have our Emerald Drop earrings which feature larger pear shaped briolettes, a cut that's not easy to find with precious stones. These have a very elegant simplicity, great for dressing up or down. 

Emeralds & Flowers

We love Emeralds! Always have, even before they were named color of the year for 2013. This week we're going to be featuring pieces that showcase this lovely stone. First up is the elegant Emerald Strand, it's 18" featuring beautiful Antique Indian beads - a ribbon of Spring around your neck! The color is fantastic though hard to photograph as the stones appear darker than they are in person. Currently we don't offer this to buy on the website as we can't keep these in stock at the stores. If you're interested in one please drop an email as we're happy to take orders on them. *We also make a Ruby strand just like this. I'm including some pics from the Smith College Spring Bulb show from this past weekend. These colors are such an inspiration & remind us the natural world is just about to open back up, thankfully!

Waiting for Spring

Even though it is New England, and it's snowing big fat flakes outside as I write, and the weather has been very unpredictable, I am (almost) positive that spring will be here soon. The shop is starting to gear up for spring by putting bare branches in water to force buds, and revamping all of the displays. The studio is trying to use brighter colors that evoke that wonderful feeling of spring. Things are transforming and we are so glad to be sharing it with all of you! So lets pretend it isn't snowing, and grass is starting to peak out of the ground, and crocuses are starting to bloom, and enjoy this bright color palette!
