FACT: You will never hear a Peridot Girl complain about working day in and day out with cases full of designer jewelry. Thanks to our familiarity with the curated collection at Peridot, we've all taken a turn helping that father shop for his daughter's sweet sixteen or husband hunt for that one of a kind, memorable 10th anniversary present.  There's the ladies who need a pick me up or to commemorate a best friend's birthday, and we've sorted out them all in selecting that special gift.  But wouldn't you like to know what we're snapping up for ourselves?! Below is our jewelry tell all for the month of March, because hey... we're receiving new pieces each week and that shopping list just keeps on growing... Take a look at what we wear and what we wear it with!  #PeridotStyle Gold "Initial" Necklace by Annie Fensterstock, Rock Crystal Bar Necklace by Rosanne Pugliese, Gold "Small Leaf" Earrings by Caroline Ellen, Silver "Bad Ass" Cuff by Annie Fensterstock  Platinum and Diamond Leafside Ring by Cathy Waterman, Rose-cut Diamond Kite Earrings by Moritz Glik, White Gold Shimmer Necklace by Adel Chefridi Asymmetrical White Sapphire Necklace by Annie Fensterstock, Triple Hexagon Moonstone Bracelet by Brooke Gregson, Garnet, Sapphire & Opal Drop Earrings by Margery Hirschey

Seattle-based jewelry designer Jamie Joseph has done it again!  Recently launching The Golden Joinery Collection, Jamie's luxury selection highlights gemstones fused together with 22K gold much like the traditional Japanese art of mending pottery - Kintsugi. Known for her carefully selected gemstones, each piece of rough is also hand-cut and re-polished in the Jamie Joseph Studio. In this hand-cutting & polishing process, gemstones do occasionally fracture leaving behind unusually shaped remnants of spectacular color and quality. The art of Kintsugi allows the designer to up- cycle and rethink the casualties of design. It offers something new and innovative in the fine jewelry space all the while creating a new sustainable approach to material sourcing. Marrying the gemstones in this innovative technique further adds to the artisanal signature for which Jamie Joseph is renowned. Open-back settings showcase a thoughtful 360-degree composition with golden-joined fissures visible on the inside and outside resulting in a collection complete with precious imperfection.  

It’s no surprise that San Francisco native Colleen Mauer first found her design bearings in the realm of furniture, evidenced in the subtly industrial style of her metalwork.  Inspired by texture, color and even “sound”, Colleen’s designs compliment day to evening looks and everything in between.  Celebrating simple geometries that are both casual and chic, classic and of-the-moment modern, it’s easy to see why we were drawn to this collection!  Play around with stacking rings and bangles, every piece from Colleen Mauer begs to be mixed, matched, and worn again and again.

  If you haven't gotten the memo, pearls are oh so back! Not that they necessarily ever went out of style, but this time around designers are creating innovative new pieces that stray away from the traditional freshwater pearl necklace. Here's a glimpse of the trend.... long tahitian necklace by Lena Skadegard, and tahitian pearl pendant necklace, mother of pearl earrings and pink pearl ring all by Jamie Joseph. Head to our site to find more pearls by both designers, or as always give us a call at (914) 833- 7333 for further inquiries!

[caption id="attachment_375" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Pave Diamond and Yellow Gold Wing Ear Cuff by Adina Reyter[/caption] The new trend in jewelry is adorning yourself in places beyond the typical locations--midi rings, ear cuffs, hand bracelets and more are joining the rankings among earrings, rings, and bracelets. Emma Watson, Zoë Kravitz and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley; Suki Waterhouse and Joan Smalls each wore several ear cuffs to the recent Met ball, Brooklyn-based destination-jewelry store Catbird has popularized midi-rings, and the pinnacle of urban-cool, designer Pamela Love rocks what she calls "handlets" all the time.  “The trend is to adorn your body,” designer Paula Mendoza told Women's Wear Daily, “Women want to wrap their whole ears and hands, and eventually their whole body. I see a real Egyptian tradition reflected in that.” We love this frontier of new jewelry trends--innovative and unusual designs are what catches the eye nowadays--who knows? The days of the pearl or diamond stud might be long behind us...
