Love/Hate

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

1iheartmyjob

I have a love/hate relationship with my job. Yes, it does in fact rule that I have a great boss, enthusiastic staff, and my commute to work everyday is under 5 minutes. Besides the occasional scheduling nightmare that arises when you hire multiple college students I would say I have things pretty dang good. So why the hate part you ask?? Simply put I am in a constant state of WANT, which as we all know, want can easily turn to need when you least expect it. This problem is two fold: there are the things that fester in the back of my mind that I have loved since day one such as Jeanine Payer’s Natalya necklace or these lush Nava Zahavi earrings. There is also the instant surge of want when we get new pieces in like these Alexis Bittar earrings or this new Dana Kellin. Oh what is a girl to do when we have beautiful things like this coming in everyday! Anyone have a Sugar Daddy they want to loan me?

Can You Feel the Love?

img_03801We all absolutely love love love our Jamies! No matter what the economic climate may be we can’t seem to keep  these strikingly beautiful rings in our store, from Aqua Chalcedony to Carnelian, no two stones are exactly the same, which is what makes these rings so special. But be warned… these rings are highly addictive and extremely fabulous! And the Peruvian Opal is back in stock! Make sure to check it out before a lucky shopper snatches it up!

What a nice vice

We all have those days… you know those days. You overslept, you hate your outfit, your hair is still growing out from the “fabulous” mullet that your hairdresser gave you and to top it off you woke up with a pimple on your face… correction, center of your face. Yes this may be a little exaggeration but we all know how it feels to just want to put on some sweats, turn on some lifetime made for TV movie, bust out the rocky-road and call it a day. Fortunately my friends, I have found a solution to this bleak forecast: amazing jewelry! Yes, I wear this stunner from Me & Ro or these Markri earrings pictured above and become instantly de-frumped. Great jewelry is always an instant mood-lifter! Calorie-free and socially acceptable, I guarantee this is a vice you will love to acquire!

Summer is on the way…

My dear friend came to visit this weekend and we had an incredible time just walking around the city, soaking up the sun and appreciating how amazing spring is here in Oregon. The perfect weather and the beautiful contrast of the crisp green of the trees against the bright blue of the sky just makes you smile and lets you know that summer is on its way.

We were so inspired that we decided to try on some jewelry that would be perfect for such a wonderful day. Needless to say, I just had to share this picture of us. This Nava Zahavi necklace looks SO stunning on her! It is the perfect piece to wear this season and it just radiates summer energy. She received so many compliments on it throughout the night and seeing this necklace on her made me realize just how important it is to have that one, bold piece that you know will always make you feel like a million bucks!  Made of gorgeous Peruvian Calcite and 24K Gold, this is a must-have to start your summer off right!

In the Press!

A Mother’s Love

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

cameron-l1Whenever I’m having a hard day, my mom is always the first person I call.  She knows me inside and out, and she always knows exactly what to say or do to cheer me up.  My mom is my best friend, my personal cheerleader, and without her I wouldn’t be the person I am today.  With Mother’s Day approaching, I have been in search of the perfect way to show my mom how much she means to me.

The Jeanine Payer “Cameron” ring with the inscription: “love grows love” immediately comes to mind as the perfect way to thank my mother for what she has done for me, and what I hope to do in the future for my own kids.  I love this piece because it is timeless – it is something I would want to pass down to my own children some day. This piece is one that she would forever hold dear to her heart and that would serve as a reminder for how her love has impacted others. My mom has truly been an inspiration and for that I am eternally grateful.

This Mother’s Day, give her a gift with meaning, spirit and love. See our entire collection of Jeanine Payer’s jewelry here.
