Hi! I’m Samantha Zorn. I grew up in Eugene and have done my fair share of shopping in the 5th Street Market. My father loves NEWTW!ST and has shopped here for decades. Having a father of an all-female family means we have received many gifts from NEWTW!ST over the years.

I am currently working toward a Bachelors degree from the University of Oregon in International and African Studies. I recently returned from Cape Town, South Africa where I interned at a refugee center for three months. I love to travel and this passion strongly influences my jewelry tastes! I am drawn to bright, exotic pieces that make me feel sexy and confident therefore, Robindira Unsworth, Gurhan and Melissa Joy Manning are three of my favorites artists. I love both gold and silver and all three of these artists do a great job of mixing them together into beautifully crafted pieces. In addition to exotic pieces I love the simplicity of both statement pieces, like Me&Ro or Jamie Joseph, and “barely-there” jewelry such as Jane Hollinger or Albeit.

Working at NEWTW!ST is such a treat because not only do I have the opportunity to learn about jewelry and brighten a customer’s day by finding them something perfect, but I also get to work with the most wonderful and beautiful women. Life truly is a blessing when you love what you do!

A former NEWTW!STER and dear friend got married last month and we were  lucky enough to share the magical day with her!

When we heard that Lauren was engaged we knew we had to send her down the aisle with a fabulous “something borrowed” so Andrea and I had a blast picking out some sparkly options for our beloved Lola!

Because the dress had crystal detailing on the asymmetrical strap we decided to just stick with some gorgeous earrings so that the necklace wouldn’t be competing with the neckline of the dress. Lauren also had a floral headpiece made, so we wanted to make sure the earrings we chose would not detract from but compliment the vintage vibe she was going for.

After looking through some stunning Dana Kellin, Talisman Unlimited and Jamie Joseph, we all landed on Jude Frances earrings (similar to these)! These earrings looked amazing and added another sparkly dimension while still maintaining the clean classic look Lauren was going for!

She was the most radiant bride (as you can see in the pictures… hello model?!) and the day was filled with laughter, joy and tears! We felt so honored to be a part of her special day! Congratulations again to the newlyweds!! We love you Lauren!

My name is Katie Brody and I am one of the newer editions to the NEWTW!ST family.  I am so excited and blessed to have the opportunity to work with all the wonderful women here at NEWTW!ST.  Being born and raised in Eugene, I have grown up hearing about and wearing NEWTW!ST jewelry.  I am currently a senior at the University of Oregon studying Elementary Education and also work across the street at Face !t.  Before working at both stores I studied abroad in Siena, Italy for three months.  It was the most amazing experience of my life and is something that is such a huge part of who I am.  Traveling around Europe I saw many different styles of jewelry and also different ways that people express themselves.  I’m still growing into my own, which also includes my style when it comes to jewelry.  I have my pieces I wear every day like my Jane Hollinger heart necklace or my Melissa Joy Manning silver stacking rings.  In the process of learning the many artists, I learned about Jamie Joseph and her beautiful rings.  I just purchased one of Jamie’s aqua chalcedony rings and finally feel like I’m part of the family.

This past month was my 21^st birthday and I was lucky enough to receive a few different pieces from the store.  My grandmother gave me the white gold Albeit with the parenthesis necklace.  It’s delicate and simple, which is perfect for layering.  Colleen was also sweet enough to give me this Dogeared  necklace to signify the journey that I am about to take here at NEWTW!ST.

Last Week Andrea, Colleen and Jodi took to the skies for a quick buying trip at the Couture Show in Las Vegas! They placed orders with some of our favorite artists and even picked up some new ones…we are so excited to see the new treasures they picked out, but in the mean time, here are some pictures of their little adventure!
