Summer is here!

There were doubts about Spring; at least in California, the weather kept us guessing if Winter was really over. This last month has certainly shown us that nature couldn’t care about our whims or calendars, but with school letting out and flowers blooming, Summer is certainly here.

Tiffany & Co. made plans for the season early. In Febuary they announced this summer’s “Must-Have Accessory;” a beautiful, flowing line of cabochon rings from Elsa Peretti. After seeing pictures of the line, and regaining my breath, something struck me about the way they flow. About 20 years ago, Peretti released a line of, in her most iconic style, more-modern carreau rings. Lapis, jade, and tiger-eye tiles fit into a cradling mount of silver. The rings, sized to fit a range of fingers, of course, featured either large or small stones.

Recently. I have had the wonderful chance to purchase two of these treasures, both large tiger-eye carreau’s. It is an amazing feeling of connection to be wearing a ring so similar in essence yet so distinct in form from a designer still defining “must-have” for all us aficionados.

Once I have these gorgeous rings shined to their original luster, I will be listing them in my main store and my eBay store.

It will be a happy summer.
