J.C.’s Ella Bella
Pantone creates a semi-annual color palette that gives designers (and jewelers) an indicator of what colors we’ll be seeing in the next few months. And while we expect to see the color combinations most dinstinctly in fashion, jewelry and accessories too have their color contribution. First here’s the palette:
Now sit back and take a look at this beautiful video that displays pieces containing the palette’s colors. If any of these pieces suit you, remember: we can create a piece similar to it, but personalized just for you!
Most of us don’t realize the rich history of jewelry making. In communities throughout the world and through time, the jeweler was considered a powerful craftsperson, imbued with magical traits. This video exemplifies this tradition. Makes you think twice when you visit the jeweler!

At first, I laughed when I saw this product for kids but after some thought, I realized it’s a smart idea. It’s called “chewelry” and its jewelry kids can gnaw on. If you’ve been around any child, you know firsthand how much they love to grab that necklace of yours and pull and bite on it. This has lead to some broken jewelry and upset moms. But chewelry allows kids to safely chew without breaking a real necklace and costing the parents a broken chain or lost stone. And it’s completely safe!
