New Arrival: Polli Jewelry from Australia

Polli Jewelry is an Australian line that is constructed by laser in stainless steel.  The bulk of a work in these pieces is not in their construction but rather in their unique designs, which are extremely fine in detail for the simple format they use.  The designs below are inspired by the Chinese art of intricate paper cutting, in which all details in the scene are created in simple negative/positive space. 

New Arrival: Pools of Light by Cassis Jewelry

This is a line of jewelry that draws inspiration from black and white silent film.

The whole collection is composed in black, white, and shades of gray.
although the pearls, Chandelier-cut fine Quartz, sterling and Pyrite vary greatly in form, the pallet remains restrained.

Inspiration: display your home collection!

Just some ideas of how to display your beautiful jewels at home on your tabletops.  This way they are always on hand, and picking your accessories is always a snap.  One of the best things about semiprecious baubles is that they needn't always be under lock and key, they should be enjoyed like a still life until they get another chance to be worn.

 Bangles and graphic pieces are particularly successful when grouped.

 Brooches can be pinned to a hat or blazer.

Trays make chaos seem controlled.

mix height, use objects, boxes and trays to corral items and hang earrings,
and always hang delicate chains so they don't tangle together!
