Behind the Baubles: Sweet & Spark

Behind the Baubles: Jillian Bremer of Sweet & Spark

Jillian Bremer and I have been Instagram buds for awhile and I’m embarrassed to say that I’m just now introducing you to the beauty and brains behind the vintage jewelry treasure trove that is Sweet & Spark. The San Francisco-based entreperneur started Sweet & Spark back in 2012 with her father while she was between jobs. Her father, Howard, had always had an appreciation for timeless, vintage pieces, which inspired Jillian to begin hunting for jewelry that has stood the test of time. Soon after, Sweet & Spark was born. The online shop is a testament to her passion for vintage jewelry where a carefully curated selection of the best and most unique baubles awaits. Read on to learn more about Jillian!

Bauble of the Week

March 22, 2015 by jessica 6 Comments

I hated the flavor of pineapples up until a few years ago, but I’ve always loved the way they look. A vintage brass pineapple ice bucket is actually one of my prized possessions*, but  the obsession certainly doesn’t end there. I’d love to own this Tory Burch tunic or even this cute ice cube tray, but this pair of earrings is topping my wish list. I came across Three Jane on Instagram the other day and fell for the bold cocktail-ready earrings by designer Katie Schloss. You’ll learn more about her in next week’s “Behind the Baubles” feature.


*They tend to be expensive on eBay, but there are a couple of affordable ones available right now here and here. Just add a little brass polish and you’re good to go.

Wardrobe Welcome

If you couldn’t tell from yesterday’s post, I’ve been on a bit of an earring kick lately. So much so that I’ve actually added two new pairs over the last week: Tory Burch monkey hoops and petite tassels from J.Crew. Even if I hadn’t mentioned it last week, I’m sure you could tell the monkey earrings were destined to be mine. I talked about them last fall, right after the Tory Burch runway when they were available for pre-order, and again when the full spring jewelry collection was online. I purchased them as my annual “Tax Return Splurge,” so even though they’re wildly indulgent, I don’t feel too bad about spending the money on something so quirky. They’re sturdier than I expected and they do feel a little heavy after wearing them for a full day. The other pair, the J.Crew tassels, were an impulsive purchase this past weekend. We spent Saturday night in Milwaukee and stopped at J.Crew (not surprisingly, their store is larger than the one in Madison). I spotted the earrings on a table display as I was leaving and couldn’t resist. They have a nice weight to them, which I wouldn’t have guessed from the stock photo.

Behind the Baubles: KALAN by Suzanne Kalan

Suzanne Kalan started her jewelry line in 1988 after her daughter, Patile, was born. Patile joined the industry nearly 25 years later and began designing the KALAN by Suzanne Kalan collection. Set with diamonds and white sapphires, the candy-colored baubles are just as bright and optimistic as Patile herself.

Items from the collection are available at various retailers, including Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue (there’s a 20% Friends & Family discount on jewelry that you can use right now), and Amazon.

Behind the Baubles: Rue Gembon

Chain-store jewelry can be lackluster (especially when everyone owns the same thing) and great costume jewelry can come with a high price tag, which is why Joyce Lam (left) and Niki Allworth sought to create an online destination with affordable, eye-catching statement gems: Rue Gembon. Before launching the site, Joyce had plenty of experience in the fashion arena (3.1 Phillip Lim, Women’s Wear Daily, Elle), then ventured into styling under Kate Lanphear’s wing. Niki left behind the accounting industry to pursue her passion for fashion graphic design and began freelancing.
