Vermont Wedding

A shoot from our friend Sandra Costello. Hopefully this will counteract the endless cold snap here in the Northeast with warm feelings of Summer in Vermont! The bride is wearing our jewelry, thanks to Vermont Vows for the tip off - check it on their blog here.

12 Days of Gifts, Day 7

This what our studio looks like this time of year : jewlery everywhere, orders and envelopes strewn across desks - chaos reigns! But it's inspiring. As we come into the final Holiday push don't forget we also offer gift certificates if, for some reason, you can't make it to the store or just can't decide online which piece is the perfect one. We will be accepting orders thru Tuesday of next week & can offer overnight shipping so it arrives by the 24th - just make sure you call or email first before you place your order online so we can confirm we have stock..

Transformation

Things have been busy! As you can see from the pics below we've had a considerable upgrade in our Cambridge store - a beautiful new floor along with elegant new cases. When we opened two years ago we had inherited the existing displays and did our best to improvise & make things work. While they looked ok, lighting & proper presentation were an ongoing issue. No longer! These new custom fabricated cases have bright lights to illuminate every gem stone, engagement ring & antique on offer. Northampton has a new look as well which we'll show off soon once we get more pics - stop by & check it out for yourself!

 

Ch-Ch-Changes

We're very excited to share that both of our stores will be undergoing some exciting changes this week! Renovations will be happening in both shops resulting in new, improved & expanded displays. The short term downside is that we will have limited hours for some of the week. In Cambridge we are closing today at 3pm & won't re-open until Friday morning. In Northampton we will be open on Wednesday only from 10-12, then re-opening Thursday the 2nd. That said, the studio is active & working hard so if you need to pick up an order or have any questions we can be reached at studio@rebekahbrooks.com or by phone at 917.922.6628 and someone will get right back to you. Thanks for your understanding!

Dressed Up In Blue

The blue of our new windows in Cambridge mimic the hues of the ocean with umbrellas that bring a tranquil shade to the height of Summer. This display came out so beautifully! (* thanks to Zoe & Lindsay for the labor & love that went into it). Draped across the busts below are stands of Sapphires, drops of Blue Topaz & and shimmers of Aquamarine..

 

Summer Sale!

July Birthstone : Ruby

July's birthstone brings us the deep spark of ruby. The stone was once believed to contain a drop of the earth's blood & stories tell that rubies were self-luminous. Called the 'lamp stone', Hindu priests believed that the homes of the gods were lit by enormous emeralds and rubies and Greek legends told the story of a female stork, who repaid the kindness of Heraclea by bringing her a brilliant ruby so bright that it illuminated Heraclea’s room at night. Here are some of our own luminous creations - our best-selling Ruby Strand with 18k beads alongside our Gem Vine Earrings, here paired beautifully with Garnet & Ruby.

Happy Mother's Day

Mothers Day is almost upon us and to help you celebrate that beautiful, awesome, hard working Mom in your life - we're offering up free earrings to accompany any purchase of $150 or more, in either store this Friday thru Sunday.

Wedding Ring Event!

Spring Windows at 17 Brattle

If this weekend didn't do enough to inspire a long-anticipated feeling of Spring then you should stop by our Cambridge store & peer into the windows! Our wonderful staff did an incredible job on the display. Credit goes to our assistant manager Zoe for making these beautiful, over-size paper flowers that have been stopping people in their tracks.

Valentine's Day

A quick missive to remind all of you whom may have forgot that..Valentines Day is Friday! If, like

me, you leave things until the last minute just keep in mind here in the Northeast we're due for a foot of snow tomorrow. Yikes! Come in today & check out all the beautiful new jewelry we brought in to celebrate the holiday & receive a free pair of earrings with any purchase over $200. 

12 Days of Gifts, Day 11

We may have lost count along the way but, nevertheless! Here we are at our final day of posts before we all tune to that universal holiday frequency where the rush of the world grows quiet at least for a day. If like me you still have a few people you either forgot or haven't found that perfect gift for - let us suggest our register earrings. These have been more popular than ever this year - both due to price (starting at $25) and the fact that they're bound to please even the most particular on your list.

The Elves Are Fired, or, Day 8

This is what our studio desks look like this time of year. A festive sort of overwhelming mayhem where each day is a scramble to keep up. Not a bad feeling really as we're grateful to be busy crafting these sparkling labors of love. The morning of the 25th we always imagine people opening our boxes & the joy we hope it brings.

12 Days of Gifts, Day 7

Perfect for that last minute (yes, we're approaching last minute) gift we've got our Register Necklaces. Atop the counters at both shops these come in a variety of styles - Silver or Gold, with stones or without - all of them handmade and quality, priced comfortably under $100.

 

12 Days of Gifts, Day 5

With the Winter Solstice fast approaching what better way to bring some color & light to your life at the darkest time of the year than with our Briolette Drop necklaces & earrings. These perfectly simple (and affordable) necklaces & earrings come in just about any stone, color or metal combination you could desire. They wear great casually or dress up beautifully in time for ringing in the New Year!

12 Days of Gifts, Day 4

A more utilitarian suggestion for today's missive - gift certificates! One of the many remarkable things about our jewelry is that it really does appeal to women of all ages, grandmother's come into the shop with their teenage grandaughters & they both leave with something they're excited to wear. All this to say these are a perfect solution to any gift dilemma - even comes wrapped in a beautiful envelope ready to go under the tree or be hidden discretely in a stocking..
