Nora Kogan’s line, St. Kilda’s, is as enchanting for the work she produces as for her personal story. Having lived in Odessa, Italy, Australia, and Japan amongst other places all before moving to New York it’s hard to pinpoint the largest influence on her work but by looking at the pieces you know that they […]

I have seen this amazing jewelry designer at a series of boutiques in the last five years on both coasts and in between. Nava Zahavi’s name though didn’t stick in my mind as strongly as the style of her pieces, which are unique in both rough stone choice and technique. In my years making jewelry […]

Over at Charm & Chain I’m always discovering great new jewelry designers that I love. Most recently I discovered GS Lillian whose pre-order earrings appeal to my inner- amoeba.

When I read about Ruth Tomlinson on Design*Sponge I felt that her pieces were exactly what I would make if I was still making jewelry. Not only do they reflect my love of all things aquatic and organic but they also include beautiful gems and porcelain too – some of my favorite materials. These are […]

As an Obama supporter, I, like the rest of the country, have taken notice of how stylish our First Lady has been. My mom drew my attention to her jewelry – in particular the necklace that she wore to the first state dinner by designer, Tom Binns. I had known the jewelers more understated works […]

After coming across Hisano Takei’s felted necklaces I began to wonder who else was using felting in the world of accessories. I stumbled upon the Etsy store, Kjoo, by Maria Joao Ribeiro and was blown away by the creations of this Portugal-based artist. She incorporates many of my favorite things: felt, crochet, amorphous design, and […]

I recently was turned onto the Brooklyn-based company, Design Glut, while trying to find a birthday gift for a client who just happens to be a CEO of a publicly traded company. I came across their Dow Jones Hanky and immediately thought to myself, “too soon?” Since I track the company’s stock closely I know […]
