Let It Be...Spring Already!

By Linda Zeng

Just when it feels like February would never end, March peeks out at us from around the corner. Alas, even though groundhogs everywhere have promised us a short winter, we'd believe it when we see it. Luckily there are new jewelry trends for Spring to keep us busy oogling until until March 20! This Ilias Lalaounis for Sophia Kokosalaki gold draped necklace caught our eye, in keeping with the Art Deco/ Floral trend we've been seeing.

And also these gold-plated Horn earrings from her collection; doesn't it look like something Frida Kahlo might have worn? So opulent and romantic, in a bohemian way.

Sisters' Keeper!

by Linda Zeng

Teresa just collaborated on a custom ring with her dear friend Margaret Danek Vasquez, creator of the couture stationary label, Tiger & Jones. With Margaret's expertise in letter design and print, and Teresa's expertise in jewelry design and execution, this beautifully elegant and simple ring was born!

Margaret calls it the "Sister Ring," because she will wear it close to her wedding band to celebrate her two lovely daughters.

The band is matte 14K yellow gold, studded with yellow diamonds, and hand-engraved with the each daughter's name in a pretty rounded script; it reminds us of vintage French grammar book writings! The rings are truly adorable and definitely something that will become instant heirlooms.

'til next week, enjoy!

Ring in the New Year

by Linda Zeng

Happy two-o-ten, everyone! To start things off creatively this year, Teresa Kahres has crafted this uber-edgy, super-chic engagement ring. The industrial-grade, rough cut diamonds nestle atop the matte, white gold band. The rocks' colors vary, but I love how some are shades of champagne and other hues are grey to clear. It's the perfectly modern way to say I do.

T. Kahres Jewelry welcomes customized engagement ring orders. Please inquire at tkahres@gmail.com or visit tkahresjewelry.com.

A Craftacular Success!!

by Linda Zeng

Thank you everyone for coming over to the T. Kahres Jewelry booth at Craftacular 2009 last week!!! The show was so much fun, and super packed with crafty folks and folks who need to shop for presents. The line to get into the show was around the block! For hours! Our sponsor, Bust Magazine, diligently supplied complimentary hot coffee to those standing in the cold December morning.

Above is a picture of our set-up that day. Basically our props were faux moss and snake skin table runners, with pale cedar wood blocks. It was awesome.
