Bauble of the Week

October 5, 2014 by jessica Leave a Comment

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]ory Burch’s Friends & Family promotion runs through Monday and I’m tempted to check off a few wish list items, like these earrings, with the 25% discount (code: FRIENDLIEST). The pearl trend is still going strong and these have such a charming vintage twist. That said, I feel like I should err on the more practical side with my purchases and I’m incredibly bummed this bag is no longer available in navy. I’m contemplating the mini version, which actually might work out well since I hate toting too much with me anyway. I’m also smitten with this dress for work, this jacket, (the back has unexpected polka dot pleats!), and a pair of cobalt flats that made my heart skip a beat.

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]T[/dropcap]ick tock! Today is the official release of Tory Burch’s new watch collection. There’s a style to suit every personality from The Tory for the sporty types, The Buddy for the classic ladies (my favorite), and The Izzie for the bold beauties. Browse all of the Swiss timepieces here. (You’ll undoubtedly fall in love with the limited edition Robinson Watch. It’s an investment piece, certainly, but with the lapis inlay it’s an accessory to be cherished forever.)

Behind the Baubles | Letters by Zoe

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]G[/dropcap]ive me a good monogram and I am one happy camper, especially when it’s as beautiful as the personalized gold jewelry Stephanie creates for her collection: Letters by Zoe. Named after her first daughter, Letters by Zoe boasts timeless, understated jewelry that’s sure to become heirloom pieces in anyone’s collection. Each piece is handcrafted in Los Angeles with 14k yellow, white, and rose gold (and, in some cases, sterling silver). I’ve always wanted to own a dainty signet ring and this one is just about perfect.

Behind the Baubles | Tiffany Kunz

[dropcap custom_class=”normal”]W[/dropcap]ith just one look through Tiffany Kunz’s website, you’ll understand why her work is my latest jewelry obsession. Her elegant pieces have an eclectic tribal-meets-vintage vibe that still manages to be elegant. (Really, is anything better than this necklace or this ring?) Beyond her unique aesthetic, however, there are two even more compelling reasons to check out her work: a commitment to sustainability and a commitment to empowering impoverished women worldwide. Read more about both initiatives here.

As you’ll see, the “Beyond the Baubles” feature has taken on a new look, but the same lighthearted “get to know the designer” tidbits are there. Enjoy! (Let me know if there’s anything you’d like added to the Q&A!)

[blockquote]The proudest moment of my career was executing a challenging engagement ring and having the client love it! I opened a bottle of champagne that day and it is partly how I began my path in metalsmithing. When multiple jewelers turned down the design saying it was too much work, I was intrigued to have a go at it myself. [/blockquote]

[blockquote]My ideal Saturday starts with reading a book with coffee, my husband and our pup by my side and ends with a cocktail and laughs with good friends.[/blockquote]
