Hot on our Radar: Laine Jewelry

I have become enamored by this brooch--the faceted jet, the rose gold, the rough cognac and champagne diamonds--so beautiful. Laine is new to the jewelry scene, however her remarkable talent leads anyone to believe she is a 30 year veteran. Her Lillie brooch, made of 15k rose gold, dates back to 1890. The vintage piece has been reinvented through her artistic perspective, and this is the end result. And the price? Only $300. Just picture some skinny jeans, black solid tank, and a sea green scarf wrapped and secured with this brooch--niiice! Read More

Vintage Casino chips transformed into Jewelry, designer: Page Sargisson Heading to Las Vegas? Or the high roller table? Or maybe just having some friends over to play some cards?

Treasure Hunting, Sans Hard Hat & Gem Mine

Treasure hunting is my absolute most favorite thing to do. Whether it's at an antique shop, looking for gold frames and vintage jewelry, or at a gem mine, sifting through piles of gravel and dirt--I love the thrill of finding something to be treasured. The beach is one of my favorite spots. It is fun to be on the hunt for sea shells and sea glass. In the above photo, I am searching for sea glass in Southern California. Below are some pieces of jewelry with elements of raw mother nature. Not your typical, finely polished gemstone--just a smoothed beach stone, some quartz found in Central Park and some raw black diamonds. Enjoy! The alluring seafoam green color of the chrysophrase beads goes great with the simple beach stone. This necklace is designed by Renee Garvey and can be found at Eliza Page. Priced at $375. I love the concept of this necklace, along with some other pieces that match in BYLU's Compass Rose collection. The quartz encased in the gold setting is found in Central Park, each is unique. The necklace is done in 14k yellow gold and is $550. Maya Brenner has some great jewelry designs and this black diamond bracelet is a great example. The black diamonds are drilled so they look like beads, and the delicate 14k chain is perfect. Check out Maya Brenner's website to take a look at her other designs. The bracelet is priced at $220.
