My Future Jewelry Designer

admin — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:33:03 +0000

India came to visit the studio this week and was in awe of Melissa in our production department who was busily working on spring hoop earrings with India sitting in her lap….

India is a girl on the go but not a peep was heard as she soaked it all in. She was completely mesmerized with every move Melissa made.

Jewelry designer in the making?

I’m just saying I called it first……

Missing Drusy Quartz…The Conclusion

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 02:19:29 +0000

You may recall I mentioned a while back that some very special drusy quartz stones had gone missing overseas and I was frantically re- working my Spring 2012 line…

Several days after writing my blog, I got a call that the stones had magically reappeared and would be making their debut in our Spring 2012 collection after all…! It was meant to be.

Take a gander at these little organic treasures…

Love for India

I swear I am not obsessed with the heart theme, but I just had to share a photo of the lunch Robbie made for India this morning while I was getting ready to go to the design studio.

Is this not the most adorable quesadilla you have ever seen?

The love of a father…so sweet.

Peace To You

I took a quick jaunt to LA this week for a wee bit of business and to share a little cheer with my Southern California girls….

In Venice Beach, the bridge on Linnie Canal was lit up with this magical display that reminded me of what the holidays are really about: the love and best wishes that we have for the special people in each of our lives.

Wishing you all a holiday brimming with bountiful love and peace…..

Be The Master Of Reinvention…

admin — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 20:55:35 +0000

Someone recently told me that the life of a fashion jewelry designer would make great reality television and I scrunched my nose at them…..tonight I am re-thinking that as today’s episode would feature the jewelry designer recoiling in horror when she discovers that her most prized custom cut stones that took over six months to procure were stolen in transit overseas.

Gasp is right.

It would be an interesting episode as I work at my studio into the wee hours, candle burning at both ends, designing gorgeous new pieces to replace those stones that were lost. It’s a good thing that great inspiration has always traveled with me in the midst of chaos, so all is well….. if not even better in the end…ask me in twenty four hours.

I think the takeaway from all of this is that we all need to be the master of our own reinvention, whatever that means in each of our unique lives….that doesn’t sound like reality tv to me, thank goodness!

Sleep tight all….Sweet Dreams,

Autumn Is Here

As I was walking into work today I was stopped in my tracks by the beauty of these gorgeous fire red autumnal leaves juxtaposed against the bright blue sky…..

Mother Nature continues to amaze!

El Dia De Los Muertos

admin — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 21:25:01 +0000

Yesterday we lit a beautiful array of candles on our El Dia de los Muertas altar that I created to honor those we have loved that have passed before us.

You could see the glow of candle light all the way down the main street of downtown Petaluma….it was magical…

The creation of this altar was especially poignant as it was inspired by our dear friend, David Yearsley who had just passed away. David was passionate about the outdoors and most especially about his Petaluma River that he worked tirelessly to protect and save.

We stand guard over your river, David.

Love,

Robindira
