A Royal Treat

I haven't seen Lapis Lazuli around a lot lately, so when I came across it on a gem buying trip recently, I jumped. These are big, impressive pieces, faceted and flecked with golden pyrite. For this piece I wove them into a fan shape and linked it all into gold vermeil chain. Lapis has been worn for centuries, prized by ancient civilizations and worn by royalty. So, get your inner Nefertiti on and show off!

What to do on an overcast Sunday...

...come to Design Hive! This will be my last Boston-area appearance before I head off to NYC in December for the "big show". I have lots of new things to show you!! Here are just a few:









All of the above will also be listed on the website soon!

The chain you have been waiting for is here!

Available in gold filled and sterling silver:


This beautiful chain has a beaded, twisted wire texture to it, which adds a definite sparkle. The links are large-about an inch long, but the chain itself is extremely light and comfortable. These are a generous 34 inches long-great for layering with lots of other cool chains and necklaces, or just double it up and be done. Very versatile, it will be worn often!
This chain is also available in a short (18 inch) version and as a bracelet-to be posted on the site soon.

Happy Birthday Elodie!!

Elodie is 4!!
This is amazing! I was there, at her birth, and just can't believe four years has flown by so fast. Now, she has a little sister who dreams and talks about her all the time. I can understand why. Elodie is captivating. Smart as a whip and sweet as pie. She is curious about everything.





This is one of my favorite pictures of Elodie. We were at the Jeff Koons exhibit a few years ago at the Met, up on the roof! Elodie was beyond excited to see this massive balloon dog. She jumped and danced and ran around him for a good hour. It was so wonderful to see that kind of excitement. I look forward to many more years of wonder with sweet Elodie.
I love you El!
Love, love, love, Auntie Erin
