Hello Friends,
I hope you’re all having a beautiful winter thus far. I can’t believe that it’s already February. I’m so grateful that the days are getting slightly longer and lighter. Here are a few updates from my world - enjoy!
1. This week I’m headed to the big gem show in Tucson - aka the “Super Bowl” for the jewelry industry. I’ll be sourcing special gems to design with - including new pieces for the collection and custom work (to make personalized jewelry dreams come true).
Is there anything special you’ve been wanting to make? Drop me a line so I can hunt for gems especially for you this week!
2. We had an epic snowstorm in NYC this weekend. It was beautiful and cozy.
3. February’s stunning purple birthstone is the Amethyst! Because of its wine-like color, early Greek legends associated amethyst with Bacchus, the god of wine.
Have you seen the Giraldi Amethyst Charms in the collection yet? They’re a great statement pair of earrings and have the versatility of sliding on and off hoops!
4. I love Valentine’s Day. Maybe it’s because I’m from a town called Loveland in Colorado - aka, the Sweetheart City! I think this holiday is a fun excuse to celebrate all kinds of love in your life - not just the romantic kind.
5. Each year, Ryan and I send out our own Valentine Cards. Some years we host friends for dinner on 2/14, and sometimes we enjoy cooking dinner at home, just the two of us. This year, we’re thinking about making Carla Lalli Music’s Pasta Cacio e Walnut. Doesn’t it look good? We’ll probably also listen to this playlist we made last year.
6. I put together a sweet Valentine Gift Guide - with beautiful, enduring jewels that make perfect gifts for loved ones, or yourself. Check it out!
Happy V-Day, Happy February, and Happy Lunar New Year - I’m sending you all the love!
