Annual Spring Sale in Northampton!

Our Annual Spring Sale is happening this weekend. We mark select items down 40%! Be sure to come by the store, the earlier the better. Once the pieces are gone, they are gone! Happy Spring to you all and we hope to see you this weekend.

Gifts, Day 1

Despite (or in spite of) yesterdays snowfall here in the Northeast, happy first day of Spring everyone! To kick off this new season & all that comes with it (holidays, graduations, weddings) we thought we would illuminate some of the gift items we offer in our stores. While it's true that we sell Diamond rings, we also curate a plethora of beautiful items that sell for well under $100. We start Day 1 with some of our own creations..

Register Earrings: When we opened the Northampton store Rebekah designed an entire line of earrings & necklaces that we placed next to the register at prices ideal for an impulse buy. The earrings have gone on to be best sellers & something we haven't yet offered on the website. These feature the same semi-precious gemstones of our regular line. The difference with these being that we don't make the findings ourselves so we can sell them for less. These start at $25 and go up to around $75, essentially wholesale prices! A steal for something that is handmade & of this quality.

Personalized Pendants: Another great gift item are these Pendant Necklaces we've started offering. There are a variety of simple discs to choose from that can be engraved with the intial(s) of your choice and, if you like, even accompanied by a small birth stone - ideal for a birthday or expectant mom. These have proven quite popular with partners for their wives as it's both thoughtful and personal, but yet so simple to conceive of! These start below $100 as well & are always a hit.

Emeralds & Flowers

We love Emeralds! Always have, even before they were named color of the year for 2013. This week we're going to be featuring pieces that showcase this lovely stone. First up is the elegant Emerald Strand, it's 18" featuring beautiful Antique Indian beads - a ribbon of Spring around your neck! The color is fantastic though hard to photograph as the stones appear darker than they are in person. Currently we don't offer this to buy on the website as we can't keep these in stock at the stores. If you're interested in one please drop an email as we're happy to take orders on them. *We also make a Ruby strand just like this. I'm including some pics from the Smith College Spring Bulb show from this past weekend. These colors are such an inspiration & remind us the natural world is just about to open back up, thankfully!

 

Antiques, Day 4

Here we have an extremely fine Victorian Seed Pearl Necklet in it's original leather bound case. The graduated Pearls are natural with an incredible luster. It measures 16" and we're just in the process of re-stringing it. This is a really delicate & elegant alternative to your typical string of Pearls, a beauty.

Antiques, Day 2

For our second installment of new antiquities we've got something really special. Dating all the way back to 1870 is an original Victorian Whitby Jet Necklace in beautiful condition. For the unfamiliar, Whitby Jet is a semi-precious stone mined in Whitby, North Yorkshire on the English coast in the mid to late 1800's. It is actually fossilized wood which when polished takes on a rich, glowingly opaque sheen. The way you know you have real Jet & not Onyx or Vulcanite is by it's weight, despite the size of this necklace it's very light. The pendant on this features beautifully set paste rhinestones. Jet has become highly collectible & this piece is particularly nice as it's on the original cord with the velvet tie intact - very wearable!

Colors of the Sea

At this time of year I love to wear colors that remind me of the ocean- blues, greens, pearls- any thing that makes me feel close to the sea even when I'm not! Featured below are our bundle earrings with peridot and apatite and our simple chain necklace with pearls.

Season of Giving

Whether it be downtown carolers, a hot chocolate shared with friends, or glittering lights atop Main Street, Northampton comes alive with a special electricity during the Holidays. It has been truly lovely to see so many customers actively choosing local and handmade gifts. Family and friends picking jewelry with heartwarming care and diligence, knowing this a gift to last forever.

These are some of the items making it on my wish list this year...

The Victorian Angel necklace shown here with a sapphire perfectly blends a modern and vintage aesthetic.

A Circle-Cross bracelet is one of the best illustrations of quality craftsmanship that goes into our jewelry, each circle is handmade then linked creating this delicate pattern!

Sparkling Ruby's look amazing in the Lily Cap style earring, I can't help but smile looking at these delicate beauties!

New Silk Necklaces

So here is a little preview of some of the new styles we are doing for fall! These necklaces are made of brass beads that are tied onto hand dyed silk. They come in various lengths, colors, and with different charms and such on them. These are two of the most basic ones. The shorter one is a beautiful slate blue with our Fleur De Lis casting in vermeil hanging from it. The other is a deep chocolate brown and is long enough to slip over your head. Stay tuned for more pictures of our new fall line!
