We don’t forget about men and their jewelry needs and we’re happy to create a custom design piece of jewelry for the man in your life.

Like the informative video below, we believe that yes, less is definitely more (you don’t want to risk looking too gaudy). Learn other tips (like not wearing a watch to a black tie affair – listen for the reason).

Every holidays has its fair share of jewelry (though nothing quite beats Christmas when it comes to blingy kitch). We personally love Spring and the related jewelry it brings.

With Easter this weekend, we wanted to highlight some of our personal favorite Easter basket jewelry (in case you missed our bunny-inspired jewelry yesterday!).

Fabergé Flower Pot Basket Brooch

A Beautiful Emerald, Lapis Lazuli, Rock Crystal and Diamond “Flower Basket” Brooch

An enamel, diamond and gem-set brooch designed as a basket of polychrome enamel flowers, highlighted by calibré-cut, buff-top onyx and rubies, accentuated throughout by old European, old mine, and baguette-cut diamonds; mounted in platinum and eighteen karat gold.

Mazer Fruit Salad Basket of Flowers Brooch.

We love Pinterest. Nowhere else can you find such a wide collection of amazing jewelry images, especially holiday-inspired jewelry. Easter jewelry tends to consist of a lot of bunny rabbits. Which we completely love. Here’s just a few Easter-related pieces that inspired the Spring in our step this week!

Art Deco Rabbit Brooch by Raymond Yard, Circa 1920’s. Who else wants this fella at their next dinner party?!

A stunning estate brooch is from the Animal collection by Van Cleef & Arpels.

Cartier Rabbit Brooch. White gold, diamonds, chalcedony, onyx.

RARE and Unique Butterscotch Bakelite Bunny Rabbit Pin 1930s.

As third generation jewelers, we understand firsthand the powerful history of jewelry. While we’ve been designing custom jewelry for a 100 years, obviously jewelry has been created for a little bit longer than that (like thousands of years!).

Take ancient Greek jewelry. According to Thaleia Elikonias:

Jewelry played a large role in ancient Greece. Pieces of jewelry were given at births or marriages and often accompanied their owners into the afterlife, as well (many early jewelry pieces have been discovered in the excavation of graves). Jewelry was used in early Greek religion as amulets, or as offerings to the gods–a practice continued into Christianity with votive offerings.

Prepare to be amazed at the beauty and intricacy of these fine ancient pieces in the video below:
