image
Weekend Reading with The Pot Book by @edmunddewaal . A source of epic beauty, “a guide to over 300 makers, schools and styles of ceramics from around the world.”
image
Flashback Friday to this happy handful of rings. As ever, I turn towards the beauty in life to see me through. Of course, the shiny beautiful objects do help…so I hope these brighten your day, wherever you are.
image
It feels like summer here in Venice today, and I always associate summertime with long earrings that have subtle movement, pops of color, and a strong presence.
image
I hope everyone is staying healthy and finding time to enjoy the details more than ever. I find that each Marbleized bead seems to contain an entire world within.
image
So this is what my "desk" looked like this morning. I have always liked working on the floor for some reason, and this set up seems to suit me best
image
This is a very personal, very lovely book with a wonderfully generous spirit. As Dorothy writes, “I am a domestic creature and this is a book about the things I love.”

image
Something I am rarely without... a silk slip with a colorful lace hem, peeking out from the bottom of a floral print dress. I wear one nearly every day, it’s the silken inner armor between my skin and the world

image
#flashbackfriday to this glittery line-up, featuring one of my forever favorites: a one-of-a-kind ring with an E P I C ruby cabochon
image
Seeing color as a neutral: the bright pop of green from the cluster of emeralds combines beautifully with the purple amethysts and blue sapphires to make a surprisingly neutral and festive composition
image
The warm tone of our 18K white gold comes from the fact that we don’t use rhodium plating. It is much more flattering on the skin, and has a depth that I feel is lost in the plating process.
image
Golden California sunlight captures the magic of our labradorite and pink sapphire portrait ring, as well as the gorgeous blue sapphires in our numerology ring. Oh, the good fortune of being bathed in golden light in January. Lucky, lucky us...
image
Our Lapis feather earrings, against a cyanotype of duck feathers by Anna Atkins, ca. 175 years ago. Prussian Blue is my most favorite color, otherwise known as ferrous ferrocyanide, which sounds rather poisonous doesn’t it?
image
#Flashbackfriday to this stack that most definitely sparks joy
image
The planet Venus is named after the Roman goddess of Love and Beauty, as is our short, silky, and lacy slip. I’m sure you often see her in the night sky, as the brightest planet in the night sky (next to the moon, of course)
image
Lovely lotus leaves and leaves and leaves...
image
It is the collective strength of this delicate prong setting that I find so compelling. Making something both feminine and strong for a very special strong and feminine young lady was a sincere pleasure
image
Turning over a new leaf for the new year, and hoping for all things bright and beautiful for all...
image
Wolf moon with a lunar eclipse in Cancer is upon us! As the brilliant @chaninicholas says, “It isn’t subtle.” No it certainly isn’t. Take refuge in beautiful things, and take good care out there, everyone
image
"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises" - Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Spanish poet and playwright, 1600-1681
image
A parade of pearls...
image
Always a pleasure to reimagine beautiful pieces. We all have stones that may need new settings or a new life as a different piece. I love working on these bespoke jewels. Perhaps one of your treasures needs to begin the new year in a new way?
image
Perfect companions: our off-set Emerald and Prong-set Amethyst rings. Emerald is said to open the heart chakra, while Amethyst is said to have protective powers. I’ve always loved these two stones together
image
Georgia O’Keefe once said, "If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for a moment.” Perhaps especially so, if those flower petals are diamonds...
image
Looking for a different sort of wedding band?

image
This one-of-a-kind frosty quartz looks like an elegant abstract painting that you can wear. Might be the perfect gift for a modern art lover.
image
For the first time, we present a collection in black. Although I am rather obsessed with color, rich, lustrous black really accentuates the elegant lines. The silhouettes are universally flattering, and even more so in black, as it turns out
image
You might want to add these lovely Lotus leaf drops to your Christmas list. They are timeless beauties, just like you...
image
This piece captures exactly what I think pearls should be. Luminous, effervescent, and beautiful. The pearls feel suspended in air, and the 18K gold loops create an effect like that of a lace collar.
image
With the holidays upon us, what could be better to wear than this tourmaline, Tahitian pearl, and 18k gold lariat necklace? Knotted on violet silk cord, these faceted edge tourmaline beads are meant to be worn tied at the neck like a gemstone ribbon
image
Loved seeing everyone last night at our holiday gathering. These delicious ruby raspberry drops are sparkly and charming, which is exactly how the party felt to me.
image
Come ring in the season with us! Our annual holiday party is tonight from 6-9pm. Join us for an evening of sparkling jewels, fine sleepwear (at 25% off,) cocktails, holiday treats and live music!

Honored and delighted to be included in @phaidonsnaps recently published Fashion in LA, edited by the talented @kristasmith and #taniafares.

Flashback Friday, featuring the heavenly Moonstone. The early Romans believed that the stone was created from frozen moonlight. How romantic a notion!
image
The Maia is a true workhorse of the collection. We throw ours on over a slip as a chic outer layer, or pair it with vintage cords and a camisole for an elegant going-out ensemble. Its vintage charm elevates just about every occasion.
image
Your eyes aren't fooling you - this big, beautiful aquamarine is offset, giving the illusion of floating between the fingers. We've been lovingly referring to it as the sidecar ring for now. What should we call this style?
image
A double diamond slice is twice as nice!
image
Sunday Still Life
image
We could all use a bright pop of color, couldn't we? The electric blue of this aquamarine cluster is the perfect antidote to any gloomy day.
image
Flashback Friday to this serious bracelet stack, including classics like the nine bracelet and the daisy chain link bracelet - both available for custom order.
image
The asymmetry of these beautiful tourmaline accented hoops is only one of the reasons I love them. They are perfect for the upcoming holiday season, don't you agree?
image
On this gloomy day in Venice, all we want to do is cozy up in our 100% Italian cashmere pajama top, the most luxurious fiber you can imagine.
image
Made with LOVE…creating this custom ring for an especially wonderful soul was a true delight. We took this family diamond out of an antique platinum setting, and gave it a new life as the centerpiece of this abstract 18k gold flower.
image
Sunday still life
image
We love it when our dear friends come to visit, and even more when they arrive wearing old favorites, such as this custom cameo and cognac diamond ring.
image
Flashback Friday to the seductive combination of south sea pearls and diamond slices.

This epic moonstone ring casts a lovely spell for Halloween. The luminous quality acts as a “soul light” to guide the souls of our departed beloveds back to visit us in our Earthly homes as heavenly angels. No tricks here, only treats!
image
Ceremony + Lake Ada, two of my most favorite Liberty prints together. I love the slightly antique feeling of the florals, and the way they combine in these colorways.
image
Sending so much love and gratitude to all of the brave first responders putting out fires in our beloved city and all over California. Praying that the winds are in our favor tonight
image
Sunday Still Life. I love mixing disparate elements, such as the antique Royal Copenhagen porcelain with the vintage Dansk glass hurricane and the antique serpentine pendant with the brightly colored emeralds in our Compass earrings.
image
Color! Diamonds are always lovely, but a beautiful colored stone can be positively transformative, such as this 18K and colored stone rainbow pavé band and sunshine-y rose cut yellow sapphire ring.
image
Flashback Friday to this epic bracelet stack, featuring a selection of our 18k gold bangles and link bracelets. Which one would you choose?
image
The heady, floral rose scent of our Rose on Main candle is made with Rosa Damascena essential oil and 100% natural beeswax, the candles fill the air with the warmth and aroma of a rose garden on the hottest summer day.
image
Our newest Asteria Liberty Print Robes have just arrived, and I couldn’t love them more, paired here with our Clio silk charmeuse slip. The day looks infinitely brighter when it begins with a beautiful dressing gown.
