Jul 29, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien There is something that we really love about ethically-derived, ecologically-friendly jewelry. Maybe it’s that there are limited resources or that it’s so much easier to buy a conflict-free diamond that not doing so makes us feel like bad people—our only issue is the selection can be sort of—limited. ...

Jul 24, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien We all love something sparkly on our fingers. Some adore small and dainty chains while others want to go big or go home—personally, we prefer the latter. A thin ring or small pendant is great for every day wear, but when we need to dazzle we want to enter with a bang ... Read More |
Jul 21, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Thanks to movies and television shows, most of us think we should be living the life of the Jetsons’ by now. But where’s our flying car? Our robot maid? And that awesome automatic beauty machine that Jane and Judy use to do their hair every morning? ... Read More |
Jun 16, 2014 | Contributor: Courtney Driver Save the planet: a phrase so incredibly common that the words have been nearly bastardized into simply being the motto of hippies and Earth Month every year. It is easy to forget all of the things that are happening around us and how the things we do as a part of our everyday lives affect the world we live in. ... Read More |
Jun 11, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Usually when we hang out with friends, attend parties or spend time with our loved ones we don’t want to be glued to our phones (we do, of course, but we don’t want to look like it). And as much as we love the idea of being disconnected and enjoying real-life moments we still need to know when those important emails or calls come in. ... Read More |
Jun 3, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien For most women, jewels are an adornment—a status symbol, a way to show their flair for fashion or their intrinsic personality—but for jewelry designer Tamara Comolli, jewels are meant to have a deeper connection, one that embodies a woman’s aura and sense of self. ...

May 19, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien While big baubles, gems and minimalistic pieces are in right now, we have to admit most of them look pretty indistinguishable covered in the same sparkles, colors and multi-strand chains. We want to stand out, be noticed, and a little “oh-my-gosh-where-did-you-get-that” can go a long way in assuring us of our sartorial stylings. ... Read More |
May 15, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien One of our favorite things about fine jewelry—aside from the glitz and sparkle, of course—is to see the sheer amount of creativity that designers can put into such a little thing. While fashion is able to use the body as a canvas, jewelry is allotted a mere finger, a wrist or an earlobe with which to make an astounding impression. ... Read More |
Apr 30, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Some of the most beautiful and exceptional pieces of jewelry in the world aren’t found in the windows at Bugari, Buccaletti, Chopard or Van Cleef & Arpels—they are custom made for royalty and collectors from all over the globe. ... Read More |
Apr 11, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge has a certain je ne sais quoi about her, something that we all wish we had but no one seems to be able to emulate. Maybe it’s the hair or those perfect (Queen-approved) below-the-knee, midi-dresses she’s been wearing on her current tour of Australia and New Zealand—whatever her magic is she’s undeniably a style icon. ...

Apr 9, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Now that spring is finally here all those pieces we were coveting from the runway last September are becoming available. It’s like a dream come true. It was a spectacular fashion week season and there were plenty of favorites to pick from, some that we could see Anna Wintour herself wearing and others that some of the more, eccentric fashion lovers would undoubtedly sport throughout the summer. ...

Well good for you, no doubt you deserve them and can now add those new heart-shaped pieces to your fine jewelry collection. And hopefully you have all those gems packed away into a safe little nook. ... Read More |
Feb 6, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien Now that it’s almost Valentine’s Day, men are running around left and right trying to find the perfect gift. Is it too soon in the relationship for jewelry? Are candles too platonic? If we’ve been dating less than a year can I get away with scented bath products? No. Yes. And probably not. ... Read More |
Jan 31, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien So often we forget that jewelry can be an art form; we toss on our glitter and baubles to accent an outfit or bring a bit of shine to a little black dress, but rarely do we stop to appreciate the design, materials or ingenuity that went into creating that piece—even when made by the best jewelry designers. ...

Jan 30, 2014 | Contributor: Marissa Stempien We all love jewelry—trendy pieces we can wear when we’re out with friends, glittering gems for date night, simple chains for just grabbing a bite to eat—but how much of what we own is ethically sourced? Do our cocktail rings do more than just adding something shiny to our fingertips? ... Read More |
