Valentine's at Adornments!

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

As promised previously, I have finished the Valentine’s Heart Pendants!!

I apologize for the poor photo quality..but you get the idea right? For those of  who are really paying attention, no the image hasn’t been flipped… They are all a little different, this isn’t the same pendant that I put up an in progress picture of.  They even come in different sizes. What would be the fun in making them all the same??

So today we set up a lovely Valentine’s display in our store, assembling all of our more romantic jewelry (ie. rings, heart pendants, rose quartz jewerly, and some of the Embrace series) along with one of our wood turned ikebana holders (ikebana is the Japanese art form of flower arranging, it’s gaining in popularity in the U.S. so local wood workers have taken up the task of making beautiful holders!) and of course, the obligatory roses!

Of course, we’ve decorated the rest of the store a little too, but this is where we wanted to highlight a few pieces.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

It's that time of year again..time for shopping!

That’s right! St. Valentine’s Day!!

The day when boyfriends and husbands hit the street in their last minute attempts to find something special and meaningful for their honeys! :) Yay! And all of us ladies wait in anticipation of what this year will bring- and what could be better than jewelry?

Unfortunately, if you’re looking for something UNIQUE, then you’ll have to look beyond the tradtional jewelry stores… They’re busy competing with each other to sell the most “Open Heart Pendants.”

 Generally speaking, I try very hard to refrain from negative criticism of other jeweler’s work. I’m all for new ideas! But come on, really? Is this really what ladies are looking for? This pendant was based on the painting of actress, Jane Seymour… wow.. They don’t really even look like hearts- more like a diamond encrusted ‘Z’.  And OPEN hearts? What message is that sending to the one you love?? Enough said.

So, clearly it is my mission to create something a little romantic, a little unique, and, of course, beautiful to give you guys another option! Of course… I only have 4 days left, there’s only so many I can make! Valentine’s is almost upon us. So, in honor of this momentous occassion (at least, we hope it will be momentous! Come on guys, get out and come shopping over here!!), I’ve designed some limited edition heart pendants!

Silver Heart Pendant - in progress!

Now, this is the first one, and it’s not finished yet! I got so excited about it, I just had to show you! I’ll put a final pic up just as soon as it’s done! I”m planning on setting a faceted red garnet  there at the top. So now, ladies, if you like it, it’s a good time to start dopping some hints. Fellas, the ball’s in your court! ;)
