Objects of Desire : New Jewelry Baubles

We can't deny how much it excites us to unpack new treasures that have come from all over the world. Some items will always remain a mystery as to their origin and use, but others we get to learn all about. Either way it's a thrilling experience seeing trinkets and artifacts that offer a tiny glimpse of another time and place. As with the case with our newly acquired collection of jewelry baubles, items that inspire creativity are especially exciting for us, which is why we wanted to share a few of our new favorite pieces! As beautiful as these objects are on their own, when intermixed with other pieces of jewelry they really stand out as the unique artifacts of history that they are. It's true we love creative projects, so anything that sparks our imagination is easy to gush over, but our new jewelry baubles are just too exciting not to share. With items like miniature pocket knives, religious medallions and police whistles, what's not to love? Stop by soon and see what pieces inspire your creativity!

Currently Inspired: All things Brass

When it comes to current obsessions, it should come as no surprise that we are infatuated with all things brass! Just take a brief stroll through the store and you'll see brass treasures of all kinds spread throughout all our displays. Of course nothing can compare to the beauty of gold, but brass possesses a certain old world charm, where the unique history of each item can be seen and felt right on its own surface. Depending on the age and use of each object, the tones of brass vary so greatly that it makes us even more drawn to it. Currently a treasure trove of brass, the jewelry bar may be our new favorite nook in the store, where it seems every wonderful brass charm you can think of (and then some) has decided to reside. The collection pictured above is just a fraction of our favorite charms that range all the way from bullet casings to tea strainers! With the holiday decor now out of the house, we need something to fill the voids and you better believe we've got our eyes set on filling those empty spaces with all things brass!

Weekend Inspiration: New Jewelry Baubles

It's safe to say this weekend is going to be filled exclusively with making jewelry. With the plethora of new baubles and gems in the store, it's impossible not to be excited to create something. Tiny planes, bullet casings, script letters, reclaimed chandelier pieces, and so much more are filling our jewelry bar, and we can't wait to put them to use! If you're as inspired as we are by these new baubles but need help assembling them, no worries, stop in today or tomorrow and our in-house jewelry designer, Mariel can help you create your perfect custom jewelry piece!
