Shop news | New products: QR code geekery and daisies

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

In the past few weeks, we’ve added a number of new products to the shop! In addition to our latest Charmer necklaces, we’ve also added some geek chic QR code cufflinks:

We’ve already got a new pendant design underway for new QR code pendants, and they’ll be available in a couple of months. However, in the meantime, we did make some custom QR code pendants with our existing large solid stainless steel pendants:

(If you scan the above image with a barcode scanner, you’ll see that the pendants link to the customer’s website! :)

We’ve also just added a new line of family necklaces that are much like our Connection necklaces, but with a flowery twist:

They’re available with one to nine flowers, so that you can have each daisy represent a family member. Or you can get a necklace to play ”He loves me/He loves me not” — but make sure you get an odd number of flowers ;)

Sneak peek | Lucky elephant!

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

This is a little sneak peek of the Select Blend contemporary jewelry piece for October 2010. The first image shows some of the really quick sketches — and we do mean quick! — along with the first engraved wood prototype.  The second image shows the final design, which is the same illustration, but done in the negative so that the whole elephant appears raised.

We’ve always wanted to do something with an elephant, because they’re a symbol of good luck — and I heard they were even more lucky if the trunk was pointed up.

The engraved wood elephant necklace will be available from October 1 to 31st, 2010. Once the month is done, it won’t be available again!

P.S. If you’re interested in seeing other new product sneak peeks, check out our Facebook page.  We usually post photos there first ;)

New products | Cufflinks are now available!

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

We’ve shown the sneak peeks and now, our modern cufflinks are available in the store.  They’re a perfect gift for the dad who likes to wear a little bling on his cuffs.  You can get solid stainless steel cufflinks monogrammed with his initials, or with ‘Dad’:

Monogrammed modern cufflinks

Or, for something a little different, you can check out our various cufflinks with inlays.  If you’re looking for gifts for a wedding party, a great idea is to get the groomsmen cufflinks that match necklaces for the bridesmaids.  Like these engraved wood cufflinks that match our engraved wood pendants and necklaces:

Sneak Peek | More modern cufflinks (this time with inlays)

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

We’re working away at adding our new line of modern cufflinks to our selection of jewelry gifts for him, but in the meantime here’s another sneak peek to some of the cufflinks we’ll have with inlays:

Top to bottom, the inlays in the cufflinks are: cork, green bamboo, dyed copper abalone and tiger coral.

Sneak peek | Modern cufflinks are coming

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

I shared these two pictures on our Facebook page today:

Those are the solid stainless steel version of the modern cufflinks we’ll be adding to the store!  We’ll also be adding round and square cufflinks with different types of inlays (like engraved wood, washi paper, bamboo, and even solid ones with laser-etched designs)!

Sneak peek | Modern rings with engraved wood inlay

Friday, May 21st, 2010

When our friend (and talented SEO writer) Kristina Mausser wanted a ring to go with her modern necklace with the Mod Clover engraved wood pattern, she was going to pair the necklace with one of our modern rings with bamboo inlay.

But, we thought it would a perfect time to try doing a modern ring with an engraved wood inlay to match the pattern of her necklace instead:

Once the dust has settled a bit from this major new website update we’ve just done, we’ll be adding engraved wood inlay rings to the store!

Quartet family necklace

We’re pleased to announce that after all the sneak peeks on our Facebook page, our Connection necklaces are now available in the store. The Connection necklaces are our modern interpretation of a ‘family’ necklace — a ring for each family member with a colored Swarovski crystal accent to represent their birth month. (The quartet necklace on the above represents the months of May, June, September and October).

Or… you can customize a necklace based on your fashion sensibilities and the colors you love!  Just check out some examples below:

Quintet connection necklace

Septet connection necklace

Our single solo necklace also makes a sweet birthday gift — just choose the Swarovski crystal accent for the corresponding birth month and you’re done! :)

Solo connection necklace

Now that you’re acquainted with our Connection necklaces, hopefully you’ll be glad to hear that we’re giving one away as this month’s Facebook/blog giveaway!

Enter to win by telling us:  
Who would you give a connection necklace to, or would it be for yourself?  What would your connection necklace be (i.e. how many rings and what color accents) and what/who would it represent?

One entry per person, and we’ll be drawing for the winner at noon EST on March 1st.  Good luck!

Gift idea | Secret Santa Surprise

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

We’ve just added a “Secret Santa Surprise” to our store — what’s inside the pretty box? Well, no one will know until they unwrap it!

But here’s a hint: it’s a small stainless steel pendant featuring one of our paper inlays. It could be what’s shown on the right or another washi, Nepalese, or Brazilian paper inlay that’s not even available for sale in store!

You can pick the color you’d like, or be completely surprised! This little gift is only $49 (a value of $88) and comes gift-wrapped and ready to give to a special someone (or keep for yourself!)
