Peridot Blog

Are you one of the lucky ones going on spring break? Or day dreaming about your Memorial Day weekend plans? If so, don't forget to pack your jewelry! We picked out a few great options to bring with you...     This beauty is a piece by Rosanne Pugliese. Made from 22 Karat yellow gold and oxidized sterling silver, this modern link chain reads organic elegance. The cognac diamond detail also gives the necklace a refined feel. This piece is perfect for trips because it can be worn at its longest (about 34"), or wrapped around your neck twice. Give your white tee an edge with the doubled necklace during the day, and simply let it hang at its longest and add some heels to change up your look for the evening.

Pictured above is our labradorite version, however, they come in several other stones including ruby, hematite, citrine, pyrite, carnelian, moonstone, spinel, turquoise, and lapis. This piece is brilliant because it can be worn as a wrap bracelet (approx. 5 times around your wrist) OR a necklace. It's safe to say this piece is a Peridot favorite.

I know everyone's been saying it, but it's kind of wild how fast the holidays have crept up this year.

But now we're bundled, and so happy to have some lovely sparkle to add to our snowy and cold days over here in the North-East! And believe me--we have TONS of sparkle this year.

Annie Fensterstock is a master goldsmith with a distinct style that is difficult to discover elsewhere. Using a style reminiscent of ancient artisans, her particular technique dates back centuries, while her style remains incredibly current and modern. Annie uses delicious and rich candy colored gemstones that sit beautifully amongst her radiant yellow gold and dark and moody oxidized metals. Her work ranges from gorgeous eye-catching ornamented pendants, to simple hammered wedding bands and diamond encrusted engagement rings. Annie has been quoted to say that, through her work, she seeks “to re-imagine and reinterpret the past,” and fuse the ancient world with the vitality of the modern world--and we just love that that. Annie’s bold aesthetic is unlike anything else, her stones deliciously unusual, and her pieces unique and show-stopping.

Guys--we are SO excited about our newest, beyond fabulous designer: straight from London (drum roll please)...BROOKE GREGSON!

Born and bred in Los Angeles and currently working out of her Notting Hill studio, Brooke Gregson has been making organic and refreshingly modern jewelry since 2004. Her fascination with Astronomy is reflected in her precious, luminescent gemstones surrounded by pave diamond halos. Her recently introduced “Silk Woven” bracelets and necklaces—fine metal chain enveloped in hand woven silk combined with beautiful semi-precious stones and diamonds—can be worn together or on their own, and are as unique as they are striking. Brooke’s jewelry is fresh and an absolute delight to wear—true statement pieces that you will never want to take off. [caption id="attachment_72" align="aligncenter" width="300"] From left to right: boulder opal, labradorite, aquamarine slice, emerald, blue tourmaline with pave diamond halo, 14 karat rose gold pave diamond bar, labradorite with pave diamond halo.[/caption] Believe it or not, Brooke is carried very exclusively--in fact, the only website allowed to sell her pieces is Net-A-Porter, and we are currently the ONLY STORE in the tri-state area to carry her stuff--so you know what that means--you have to visit us. Not only that, you really want to see all her pieces together to really get the full effect. Her gorgeous pieces have been pictured on the likes of my new best friends Jennifer Lawrence and Helena Christensen, among others, and have graced the glossy pages of Vogue and Elle Magazine.

Love!
