NYC... What is it About You.


New York has been getting some major, and well-deserved, love from two of our favorite bloggers.

Joanna from Cup of Jo has compiled a wonderfully personal, and extremely useful (for tourists and residents alike) Guide to NYC that I have really been enjoying and was super thrilled to see Catbird listed in. 

Same goes for East Side Bride who whipped up this guide with a heavy dose of Williamsburg.

Approval: stamped.

Want to see something beautiful?


These new, slightly mismatched pairs of tourmaline earrings from Elizabeth Street just take my breath away. Each is set in 18k gold according to the natural shape of the stone. They. Are. So. Beautiful.


Guess.


I'll give you three guesses as to what this lovely lady bought. Give up? Here's a hint

(Here's another.)

InStyle



Our girl Claire's feather earrings are hanging out in the October issue of InStyle, looking easy, breezy and beautiful. Rony's wore her pair to the ballet, I've worn mine to the farmer's market. We like our drama casual.

What We Love Today: Stevie Nicks Prints


Be still my wild heart. This should really be entitled, "What Rony Loves Every Day". I spotted this print on the wall of my friend Holly's apartment at my book club and relentlessly hunted it down. Painted lovingly in Orkney, England. 

Signed Stevie Nicks prints, $32. On line now.

Nan the Tan



In comes Nan on a Tuesday in July or a Saturday in February looking like she stepped off a Mediterranean beach, took a left turn and ended up on Bedford Avenue. She is always glowing and sun-kissed, which is admittedly sometimes hard to bear when you're feeling your paleness is verging on translucency. Aha, ahem, tiny violin has been shuttered back in it's case, and we return to Nan the Tan and the casual, "Who me? I'd wear these on Capri!" style she brought in this morning around her neck and on her ears. Come, come, let's sit by the light of Nan and her jewels and summon the spirit of Midas and his golden touch. We finally put our absolute staples, her tiny dot studs in silver, yellow gold and rose gold up online. They would've been online sooner but Nan wretchedly told me about an interiors blog called Moon to Moon and off I go, down the crystal and spider-plant laden rabbit hole.

Jewelery internship!

Hey, hey, hey. So here's how things go around here. We get an idea, a notion, and then we turn to our metal-heads and bat our lashes until they morph our idea, our notion into reality. Turns out, building jewelry is like being an architect, but instead of drywall, your medium is gold (so much shinier) so we're really lucky to have a team of amazing jewelers.

Maggie Stevenson, one of the amazing jewelers who produces our store line (someone's got to make all those teeny tiny letters!), is looking for an intern in her studio. Here's what she's got to say for herself:

Preferably applicants should have basic metalsmithing skills including soldering, filing, sawing, polishing, etc., as well as basic organization. Computer and camera skills a plus. Maggie is willing to train the right person if lacking in any of these skills as being trustworthy and a quick learner is the most important.

The internship will provide a knowledge of running a company involving hand-making large quantities of small pieces in a timely manner, as well as experience with inventory-management, invoicing, etc.

Applicants must be able to commit to working at least a day a week now through the Christmas season. Compensation includes learning a wide array of skills as well as transportation and lunch, school credit is a possibility depending on your institution.

Please send a cover letter including what you are wanting to gain from an internship along with a resume to: metalmagg@gmail.com

Fly, butterflies, and do good.


Thanks to People Style Watch for including the Jezebel butterfly necklace in their October issue. It's especially meaningful to me, since we're donating 50% of the proceeds from sales of the necklace to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, in honor of my mom who died a little less than 3 months ago.

Happy Back to School.


Gorgeous, right? I love summer but right this second I am looking forward to boots and jackets.

Simple Wedding Rings


Joanna Goddard, at the always delightful Cup of Jo blog has a nice round up of simple wedding bands. She is astute, that one. Many women do indeed go for simple these days. (Not all though!) 

We were happy to be featured alongside our jewelry bestie, Satomi Kawakita.

Say hello to my little friends.

These teensy studs are the perfect gift when you have no idea what sort of jewelry she likes. Even those who wear big bold earrings can wear these in second holes - they're just perfect. But mostly, we like when people buy them as gifts for themselves.


Black Diamond Studs, $180  |  White Diamond Studs, $270  |  Pearl Studs, $190  |  Ruby Studs, $180


So sweet.

Nailed it.

Everything about Tavi Gevinson's Rookie is spot on. It's the only thing I have encountered in years that makes me wish I was a teenager. Ok not really. Lesley Arfin really cracks me up.

Happy Days


Last day of our southern California trip where, as usual, we did not have the amazing weather everyone always raves about. (So unfair!) But we did have a blast with family and old friends, AND we walked past the Happy Days house, so we definitely came out on top.
No sign of The Fonz.

Lanvin



How wonderfully spazzy is Lanvin's new ad campaign? I love it.
