New jewelry keeps rolling in

With the massive amount of new jewelry we've purchased recently, a week like this was to be expected. New work from Veto and Ananda Khalsa arrived on Friday just in time to go out for that night's First Friday opening (more on that later). Saturday brought new work from Vinosus. One of two recent orders from Todd Reed arrived on Tuesday and then new work from Tivi came today! It has been nothing but jewelry for Rori - from taking photos of all the work, pricing information, and then rearranging the cases to fit everything - getting everything set up can be a bit of process. Check out some of the highlights below, but also take a peek at the portfolio pages to see all of their new work!

Our first purchase from Veto included this ring, but it was promptly snatched up by Ranjeet's lovely wife, Neha. With our second order, we ordered another one, as well as some of their other designs in stainless steel and pearls for women. Most of our current Veto rings are aimed at men, but with this order we decided to branch out to their women's line as well. The ring pictured at left is as striking in person as it is in the picture.


Since I was not at the Philly show in February, the first time I saw Ananda's work in person was on Friday when it arrived at the gallery. Let me tell you that is unbelievably beautiful. Each piece has its own unique, handpainted image. Right now, my personal favorite is the Sparrow Mandala Necklace, but I'm also seriously eyeing up the Autumn Maple Necklace pictured at left. Ananda's paintings are delicate images that serve as the perfect compliment to her delicate, handmade jewelry.


Vinosus' jewelry never dissappoints and this order was no different. The great thing about all of Vinosus' jewelry is it's lightweight, completely wearable, and super affordable. I think my favorite new piece are the Origami Earrings. I never usually find myself drawn towards the mixed metal look - I tend to prefer either all silver or all gold, not both - but these earrings are so delicate and move nicely. The combination of gold and silver is a nice touch to the innovative design of these earrings. Check out the Kite earrings at right for Vinosus' take on something in all silver.

Everytime something arrives from Boulder from Todd Reed I get a little excited. There's something about having thousands of dollars worth of diamonds on your hand that would get any girl excited. I will admit to sporting this ring for a good portion of my time at the gallery yesterday before it went into the case with the rest of them. I'm sure if you stop by on a Saturday you'll find me admiring it and taking out for a while, just to test it out ;). In all seriousness, the ring is absolutely gorgeous. With almost 6 total carats worth of rose-cut and raw diamond cubes, this ring would make anyone feel like a million bucks. Todd has said that this is one of their most popular styles and it's easy to see why. It is different from every angle, making it one of their most versatile designs. Many of the rings from this order can be combined with other styles to create the perfect stacking combination. Check out the example above and Todd's portfolio page to see more options we've created, plus all the new styles.

The guys from Tivi are reverting back to their original design concept: furniture, design, and interiors. They're slowly phasing out their jewelry, but before that happens we wanted to snatch a bunch of it up. Their jewelry is made from sustainable wood, like ebony and walnut, and some designs incorporate stainless steel. Their necklaces and earrings are great for women, but they also have some great cufflinks and rings for men (like the one at right). Make sure to get some before it's all gone!

With still more jewelry on the way from Kathy Bransfield, Martha Sullivan, the Barber's Daughter, Angela Duffin, Belle Brooke, and the engagement style rings from Todd Reed, look for another post like this sometime soon!

More new jewelry!

We have been on a jewelry kick at the gallery lately. We can't help it! It's all so unique and we really feel like it's the perfect addition to our traditional wall art and sculpture in the gallery. Besides, who doesn't love jewelry?

One of our newest jewelry designers is Veto. Based out of Luzern, Switzerland, the jewelry is all stainless steel with diamond, pearl, and semi-precious stone accents. Much of the jewelry has an architectural feel to it, like the ring at left, with it's delicate swoop and floating pearl. Veto has both men's and women's designs, with most of its rings ranging from $80 to $250. We've placed another order, so look for many new rings in the coming weeks.


Vinosus has long been a favorite of ours and we've sold a good bit of it recently, so it was time for another order. Artists Brit-Simone Sutter and Marty Kneeland work together in their Tacoma, Washington studio to create fine jewelry in sterling silver, gold, pearls, and semi-precious stones. Much of their jewelry combines silver and gold, which is always has an elegant, classy feel to it. We've also picked up some newer work in their classic, brushed sterling silver line. Look for the Nautilus earrings, at right, to join our collection of new Vinosus jewelry in the next 1 to 2 weeks.


We've also placed another order with perennial Monsoon favorite Todd Reed. We've added on to our recent order at the Philly show, this time adding 3 rings that could be used as unique engagement rings. This is new territory for Monsoon. While we've always had work with traditional, cut diamonds, along with Todd's raw diamonds, we've never had anything that screams engagement ring like these new ones from Todd Reed. My personal favorite is pictured below. With a band in 18K yellow gold, patinated silver, plus almost 2 carats of rose-cut diamonds, this ring screams unique elegance. It's the perfect ring for the special woman in your life, or just a nice treat for yourself. The other 2 rings feature more rose-cut diamonds in a deep champagne color and another in a dark red. Todd's designs continue to amaze all of us here and I'm sure any visitor to our gallery or online shop. Look for them by the end of March.
