Peridot Blog

Rarely an artist comes along with a point of view that's at once strikingly modern yet effortlessly organic, but Anne Sportun's collection is just this: a beautiful marriage of clean lines and natural inspiration.  Her talent to blend brushed metals with cognac and champagne diamonds, or handmade gold chain with faceted earthern gems, are just some of the many reasons we fell for her unique engagement rings and fine jewelry.  We adore Anne for her famous beaded stone wrap bracelets and her alternative bridal collection, but between us, she's a killer chef in her sustainable, lake house kitchen and we're suckers for a gourmet and green taste test! Anne's business partner and bridal aficionado will be joining us end of month (Sept. 24th-26th) for a very special, three day, Alternative Bridal event.  We're also enrolling client's in a $500.00 raffle, and all the details can be found in an earlier post here: RESET | RESTORE | REDESIGN with Anne Sportun

The first installment in our designer introduction series is Caroline Ellen, who has been with us since the beginning of Peridot! Working with her own golden alloys and hand making every piece with ancient gold-smithing techniques, it's easy to see why Dawn first gravitated towards her collection. Get to know Caroline Ellen, and see why we gravitate to her still!  Also, keep an eye out for an upcoming Studio Visit feature and behind the scenes designer visit.
