Jewelry!

Today's post is a veritable jewelry trunk show, consisting of pieces from new designers I discovered at an accessory show in Paris, as well as customized items from jewelry makers I've worked with for many years. Also introducing the 2019 Autumn/Winter collection of long gemstone necklaces, for which I sourced the stones in the heat of last summer.

Zero-Gravity Scarf Rings and a New Scarf!

When the stars align...is there a better way to introduce a new scarf ring-type than with a new scarf!

This ring is born out of the love of how a scarf looks when worn off-center and having to find a way to beat the forces of gravity, which pull even the lightest silks swiftly back to the center.

I am so pleased with the resulting ring, which I named Zero-Gravity in honor of a job well done. It lets you arrange your scarf into an off-center position and keeps it there securely in place all day long. The scarf itself doesn't get pierced, of course. You attach the pin, just like a brooch, to your clothing only. To order, or to read more about how to use it, please click here

The Zero-Gravity Classique scarf ring comes in black/gold, as below, as well as in orange and cream with gold rims, and in black, orange, and ivory with silver rims. Available here

The Index Palmarum beautifully combines my love for nature and Hermes silks. The description on hermes.com (referring to the amazingly diverse colors and shapes of the palm species depicted on the scarf) sums it up perfectly:

"Is anything more creative than Mother Nature herself?"

My answer would, of course, be "no," but in this instance, Hermès' colorists come in a close second...the Ivoire/Vert Olive/Amande CW (01) is just fabulous - the colors are strong and at the same time soft without being too bright or washed out. The icing on the cake? A taupe contrast hem!

Hope you enjoy the Index Palmarum in all its off-center beauty!
