Shop news | New Fusion necklaces in store

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

We’ve just added our newest design to the store – our Fusion necklaces! There are three styles: the assymetric fusion, the petite fusion and the long fusion.

They’re so-named because each necklace has two pieces of stainless steel: one with a brushed finish and one with a polished finish, that have been fused together. They’re modern and simple-looking, but can be quite symbolic of a union. Each necklace is personalized with a visual accent: either a Swarovski crystal in birthstone colors, or a faux-pearl. You can further personalize it with the engraving of initials, a date or a special word.

Want to stay updated of our new product designs and get a special promo code? You can join our e-mail newsletter, or go to our Facebook page.

Sneak peek | New geek chic: QR code pendant & Twitter pendant

Monday, March 28th, 2011

Here’s a quick sneak peek to two upcoming additions to our modern necklace pendant line. We wanted to do a Twitter-inspired jewelry piece that was a little more guy-friendly, since there are plenty of women out there now how are sporting their own Twitter charmer necklaces.

Two months, we introduced the QR code cufflinks and we had always hinted that a QR pendant would be coming too! Expect them to be available for purchase by next week!

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 ;)

Choosing the Right Jewelry Gift | Part 3: Choosing an anniversary gift

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

This is the third post in a series on How to Choose the Right Jewelry Gift.
The first part of the series was about Narrowing down your choices.
The second part of the series was about Choosing the right necklace length.

Choosing a gift that’s more than just a trinket can be easy with a little thought and consideration. First off, what occasion are you buying for?  If it’s an anniversary, consider relating it to a ‘traditional’ wedding anniversary gift.  Here’s a few of our anniversary gift suggestions that relate to ‘Traditional’ anniversary gifts, but with our own modern twist.

First wedding anniversary gift: ‘Paper’

Our suggestion? A necklace inlaid with Japanese chiyogami paper, like the ones above with the Gerbera flower pattern.

Second anniversary is ‘Cotton’

Our suggestion? A pendant inlaid with Nepalese paper made from Lamali Lokta fibres. (Okay, so it’s not cotton, but it is a sustainable fibre made by co-ops in Nepal ;)

Third anniversary is ‘Crystal’

Our suggestion? ‘Solo’ Connection necklace with a single Swarovski crystal accent, or add a little more shine with three accents. Choose different colored accents — an easy choice is her birthstone month, the month you were married, or the birth months of your kids.  Or if you’re really not sure what to do, just choose the April crystal to simply signify the tradition of the anniversary.

Fourth anniversary is ‘Flowers’

Our suggestion? A foliage necklace, because you can never go wrong with the gift of flowers, and when they’re in necklace form, they’ll never wilt or die. One husband bought his wife a necklace with blue hydrangeas — their wedding flower — for extra thoughtfulness points.

Fifth anniversary is ‘Wood’

Our suggestion? Mod-rings engraved wood necklace for her and matching cufflinks for him.

Sixth anniversary is ‘Candy’

Our suggestion? Save the unnecessary calories and get her a candy-like sea fossil Torus necklace instead.

Seventh anniversary is ‘Copper’

Our suggestion? This eye-catching dyed copper abalone necklace.  For him, get the matching cufflinks.

Eighth and Ninth anniversary is ‘Pottery’

Our suggestion? These Torus necklaces made out of natural stone.  (While it’s not exactly pottery, it does have the texture of fine earthenware).

The traditional anniversary gift for the Tenth anniversary is ‘Tin’ or ‘Aluminium’ and while we don’t have any of that, we have many many suggestions for the traditional Eleventh anniversary gift of ‘Steel’ — every single one of our jewelry pieces is made from stainless steel! :)  But, if you’re looking for a specific suggestion, I’d say a solid stainless steel pendant personalized with your own artwork or a phrase to express your love:

Or how about some sleek and simple stainless steel cufflinks that you can embellish with a monogram?

No matter what gift you choose to give your partner on your anniversary, make sure you take a little time to make it a thoughtful gift and it will be sure to be appreciated!
