This spring, summer hues embrace a harmonious blend of nature-inspired pastels such as light blue, pale pink and grounding earth tones color like dark chocolate brown. Last blog post I talked about the jewelry trends for 2025: pearls, pearls.. One, two strands or layered. Beaded stones, resin necklaces, or layered necklaces. In this post I […]
There’s a buzz of excitement that comes with planning a night out on the town on a warm summer evening. Maybe you’re planning a dinner on your balcony or in your garden, or under the stars at your local bistro. Or perhaps you’re attending a formal, open-air concert.
