7x7 Fall fashion, baby

I'm so honored to be named one of 7 x 7 Magazine's top 10 local designers for Fall. I get to share the 2 page September issue spread with the amazingly talented footwear designer Martha Davis, awesome independent eyewear designer Mayfourteenth, and perennial favorite 49 Square Miles.

Thanks 7 x 7! Love you!

lovely little gifts

Being in a wedding party can be stressful/amazing/overwhelming/exciting/expensive/and everything in between. It's all worth it the minute you see your best friend/sister/soon-to-be sister in-law bathed in white and looking all ethereal.

I have been immersed in wedding projects lately. Below are just a few examples of recent bridesmaid gift projects.

love & marriage...

I recently made this set of bands for a Bay Area couple that got married at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. Um, hello? How awesome is that? If I could get married anywhere it would be at a museum, the OMCA to be precise.

I love how the raised part of her band wraps around the ring like a blade of grass. It looks good from any angle. The diamonds add an extra bit of specialness. I also made pretty little gifts for the bridesmaids, so stay tuned to see those.

earth with edge...

I was so happy to see this post today on SF Indie Fashion, THE go to source for all things fashion related in the Bay Area.

Sarah Swell on Refinery29!

I was so excited to open my inbox this morning to my oxidized fishbone earrings featured on Refinery29! They even made it onto the front page! Visit the website to see the full roster of awesome SF based designers that made the cut. C'mon, who doesn't like a good fashion slide show?

Esqueleto!

One of my favorite jewelry designers, Lauren Wolf, just opened a light and airy atelier in Oakland. I'm very happy to be one of the featured designers and am among other great talent.

The jewel-box shop has already received some great press from both Daily Candy and Refinery29, so I'll defer you there to do your homework.

If you're in the area, stop in and say hello to Lauren - she's super sweet!

Some shots I snapped at the store opening...

east coast event

It was wonderful to see loyal customers and meet new ones during my trunk show at Stephen Gallant Jewelers on Cape Cod a few weeks back. Thank you to everyone that came out to shop and show support during one of the most fabulous beach days of the year. Now, that takes some serious dedication from even from the most adamant jewelry lover!
Perhaps my favorite moment of the day. Steve (my very first jewelry mentor) actually sized a ring for ME, instead of the other way around. Thanks Steve!
