Give Him Something to Bling About
Married almost 40 years, my client came to me with a sweet intention for a custom gift for her husband. A busy artist, he had lost his wedding ring a few years back and had been wearing a stand-in ever since. So my client thought that creating a new wedding ring would be the perfect surprise.
As we began working on her project, she told me about the love of her life. We explored his personality, his likes and dislikes, and what inspires him to arrive at a design we thought would really speak to him. Together we chose a beautiful blue sapphire set in a custom curve ring with a sandpaper finish. A subtle bling that suits him perfectly. For me, there’s no better gift than dreaming up something that holds meaning and magic for my clients. But the very best part — he loves it! I wish them, and you, all the best in 2022.
For the Love of Your Life
Thankfully giving love never needs a date. It happens every day. Something as simple as making your loved one a cup of coffee every morning. Or remembering how he loves the special green salsa from that store and making the drive to go get it. Or getting him a blanket for his desk chair because it’s 60 degrees in the house. Letting him take the last bite from a favorite dish. A knowing look of love, reciprocated.
But if you’re looking to give the guy in your life a unique or stylish gift this Valentine’s Day, we’ve curated a special collection of CED designs that will give him something to bling about!
To ensure your gift arrives by Valentine’s Day, please place your order no later than January 28th.
”Lover’s Knot” Brooch
The association of knots with the symbolism of love, friendship and affection dates back to antiquity. The term true lover's knot, also called true love knot, is used for many distinct knots. So I asked the sailor in the house to show me how to make one. In my version, this sculptural simple and elegant knot could be an ideal gift for your lover as each overhand knot freely moves about the other but are generally inseparable. Brooch is solid sterling silver and has a high polish and contrasting matte finish.
Size: Appx. 1 inch square - knot is ¼” deep
$585
“Love is No Fool” Brooch
Specially cut from the famous Idar Oberstein region in Germany, this one-of-a-kind pyrite crystal captured in an onyx pedestal, surrounded by a silver bezel with undulating sides that follows the curves of the stone. A truly unique gift.

“Seed of Love” Bead on Rubber Cord Necklace
