Knot like Other Bracelets

By Linda Zeng

We're experiencing a cooler, autumnal week here in Brooklyn, which makes me feel nostalgic for summer already. (Was it just a couple of weeks ago since that heat wave?) This in turn makes me ponder about summer baubles. The perfect jewelry pieces for sticky-icky weather is the bracelet, lots and lots of them. In Nantucket, kids (and fashion-forward adults, I bet) wear the rope bracelet. These thick, white cotton cords are worn all summer long, until thread-bare in the fall. When you take them off it becomes the best tan line. Now these bracelets are re-imagined and given new sophisticated edge. Take a look:

In the meantime, enjoy summer!

Some New Pieces and go-to Favorites

by Linda Zeng

Some of my favorite necklaces of all time are these red poppy flowers. With so many pastels on the runway for fall, this necklace adds that extra pop of color.

In this never-ending New York heat wave, thank goodness Teresa's been designing new earrings! They're the best alternatives to necklaces to keep your neck cool and free. She just took these pictures, including these delicate enamel hanging leave earrings. They look so rich against the wood grains, don't they?

Jewelry in Films

By Linda Zeng

Here are some movies that feature characters who wear jewelry to perfection. The pieces are not necessarily dramatic or iconic, but they bring out the aesthetic qualities of the movie, the character, and its actors.

New Custom Men's Double Finger Ring

by Linda Zeng

Did you know that up until recent history, men wore equal, if not more, amounts of jewelry than women? The Industrial Revolution and its motto of thrift and practicality, however, made men do away with accessorizng. What a shame!

t. kahres jewelry recently custom created this men's double finger ring so no one would have to give up style or substance. The ring pays equal focus on the two rows of five black diamonds, as well as on the double bands.

It is rhodium plated in platinum, over sterling silver.Rhodium is a precious metal, a member of the platinum family. Rhodium electroplating is used to provide a surface that will resist scratches and tarnish, and give a white, reflective appearance.

The slanted rows reminds us of retro looking thunderbolts!

If you would like to have your own customized order, just contact Teresa via email at info@tkahresjewelry.com.
