I’ve been get­ting many emails ask­ing about the lar­iat neck­lace I was wear­ing this morn­ing dur­ing my Martha Stew­art radio Morn­ing Liv­ing seg­ment. It is pic­tured in the image above. It is by Wendy Lin Designs, you can visit her web­site here.

Please tune in to Sir­ius 112 — XM 157 or call in with a ques­tion!! New post today on The Jew­elry Styl­ist: Do This/Give Back

The irre­sistible col­ored pearl neck­laces by Tom Binns on Ms. Pfeif­fer offer that jaunty sum­mer look we all crave this time of year. There is a way to pick up on this fash­ion trend, give back to the world, and not break the bank with your styl­ish yet good inten­tions (the jew­elry makes a great […]

The ancient craft of sil­ver­smithing has some­thing new to say in an exhi­bi­tion at Aaron Faber Gallery that begins tomor­row, Tues­day, June 23^rd and runs through August 8^th. The firm has long been the cham­pion of both master-contemporary and up-and-coming stu­dio arti­sans. The group of about one hun­dred pieces was worked by thirty-four sil­ver­smiths whose […]

OK..the seg­ment has been resched­uled. Flea mar­kets, antiques shows, tag and estate sales will be beck­on­ing, and I’ll be first in queue because I can no longer remain clois­tered in my office due to the inclement weather in New York; it’s been a ridicu­lously rainy spring. I can’t wait to traipse the alley­ways and aisles, […]

Gurhan Orhan is known for using ancient gold­smithing tech­niques in his very wear­able, chic, and tac­tilely sat­is­fy­ing jew­elry. Try­ing on one of his designs is a lovely expe­ri­ence, even if your bud­get isn’t quite up to the task. His pieces are worth sav­ing up for, btw. Much of the Gurhan-collaboration that accom­pa­nies Afghanistan: Hid­den Trea­sures from […]

If are vis­it­ing New York City this sum­mer, please make sure you carve out time to see this exhi­bi­tion. I attended the press pre­view for the show, which opens to the pub­lic on June 23^rd and will remain at the museum until Sep­tem­ber 20, 2009, and was com­pletely blown away by the grandeur and survival […]

Was buzzing through Style.com’s resort 2010 reviews and saw this hot lit­tle num­ber by Ste­fano Pilati for YSL…notice how the pro­por­tions of the geode sautoir work with the print of the dress? Reads insou­ciant, sexy, and maybe a lit­tle ‘70s…oui?

Things have been a lit­tle rough around here, hence my recent attrac­tion for Dara Dubinet’s raw stone designs. Accord­ing to her press, she has stud­ied the art of Feng Shui at the Black Hat Tibet­ian School where she learned the restora­tive power of gem­stones. Which ones cure a head cold? Would love to know. What I […]

6÷10÷09: My seg­ment has been resched­uled due to ill­ness. Date and time are to be deter­mined. Our mid­dle son, Joel, not his older brother Joshua, who was just in Japan, was diag­nosed with Flu Type A on Mon­day — Joel is tak­ing Tam­i­flu and doing much, much bet­ter, thank good­ness. How­ever, I seem to have […]
