Happy Stories From our customers

We understand the complicated and multi-layered psychological aspects of jewelry. Our clients have deep attachments to the pieces we design, and we get why. When every aspect of a design is imbued with specific meaning and attached to deep feelings of love and commitment, it becomes more than just jewelry.

This latest New York Times piece postulates that jewelry may even be used as a form of protection against stress.

Since President Trump’s inauguration in January, Pamela Love has received more requests for pieces from her Dagger jewelry collection than anytime since its introduction almost a decade ago. And Ms. Love, a New York-based designer, has no doubts about why her retailers and social media followers have renewed interest in the fierce-looking, but harmless, miniature daggers dangling from earrings and necklaces.

“Women want to feel tough,” she said. “They want something that reminds them they are tough, and they want something that shows the world they are tough. It’s not about violence. It’s about feeling strong and protected.”

Do you agree? Do you wear jewelry as a form of stress relief or protection?

Who knows more about jewelry trends than a supermodel who has literally donned thousands of magnificent pieces over decades? Kate Moss joins a massive registry of celebrities who have launched jewelry lines. But jewelry has been more than a passing fancy for Ms. Moss. She has loved it since she was a wee lass:

According to Vogue:

“I would always hunt at Christmas for the smallest box and hope there was a piece of jewellery inside.” In 1997 she told Vogue, “It’s my drug of choice.”

Collaborating with Brazilian designer Ara Vartanian, the jewelry reflects “pieces that have meaning and that you can wear every day.” This includes pieces with medieval symbolism and amulet-protection qualities. “These pieces aren’t about fashion,” insists Vartanian. “The stones and attitude give them a powerful energy, they are forever.”

If you’re like, oh…a million other women, you have a drawer or box for your “junk jewelry.” Or maybe this lesser-than jewelry is mixed in with your good pieces. Wherever you put it–or however much you accrue–it could be going to better use than collecting dust or tangling with other jewelry.

This video suggests some quick and easy ways to repurpose your jewelry so it has a brand new life…and gets out of that black hole of a junk jewelry drawer!

What’s there not to love about hoop earrings? Not only are they fun and flirty, but for the practical jewelry wearer, they’re comfortable and stay put on the ears.

Hoop earrings have been around for decades, appearing throughout fashion history in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. They reached a popularity apex in the 70’s when they were funky, oversized and fit with all the “mod” outfits of the time.

Now, you may still see some oversized earrings (we suggest everyone has at least one fun pair) but they also come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, perfect for everyday or evening wear.

Why not consider a custom design pair of hoop earrings? (We’ve done many in the past.) We also have a sweet selection of high quality earrings waiting to ship to your doorstep.
