The design inspiration for this bracelet came from designer Ari Kuperman’s garden, which in the spring is full of gorgeous red poppies.
Fun fact about Ari? When she was younger, she and a few friends covered themselves with mud at the Dead Sea. But don’t try this at home–after the mud dries, it stings like crazy!

The lock and key motif is adorable, but what really makes this necklace special is the diamond concealed in the key hole. Undercover chic.

Designer Anne Maa craves nature. And reflecting on her Chrysacola and Birch Leaf necklace, she says, "What’s better then to put that nature with wrapped stones and string them on a long chain to play with."
Anne recommends pairing the long necklace with a deep v-neckline and adds that it looks great layered with other shorter necklaces.
Fun facts about Anne? She doesn’t like cheese, has a fear of joining any clubs…and of sour fruits, and she wears open toed shoes and sandals all year round.

Designer Beth Abdallah created these earrings for the independent woman who is content to sit alone in a Thai restaurant eating noodles and reading poetry. The lightweight earrings work equally well with rich, asian silk brocades as they do with batiks and soft linens. The Chinese Wood Bead Earrings also know how to dress up a basic tee and jeans.
Fun fact about Beth? She’s afflicted (or blessed–the jury’s still out) with the inability to control herself from playing in the rain and jumping with gusto into puddles.

The design inspiration behind the best-selling Candy Green Ring was really more of a shape exploration. The simplicity of the ring combined with the unique vibrant color found in chrysophase has created a real winner.
The green ring lends itself well to neutrals–greys, khakis, browns, and of course, white.
Fun fact about Claudette? She doesn’t wear prints…and avoids them like the plague. She’s an accessories girl who leans towards solid basic pieces that she can dress up with fun belts, colorful jewelry, and unique shoes and handbags.

Inspired by trumpet flowers that spill from the tendrils of their vines, designer Susan Hardiman created the Cascado Russeto Necklace.
Because the necklace looks best against bare skin, Susan recommends pairing it with an open neck blouse, sweater or dress. "I like the way the necklace delicately cascades on the neckline and accentuates a woman’s natural beauty."
Something you didn’t know about Susan? Her three terriers are her muses.
