If tangerine is the color of the year…then its first cousin…coral is enjoying the extended limelight. Fabrics are covered with coral elements…in all colors, and coral is also a popular design element in jewelry. I was drawn to this cuff by Aurelie Biderman because they are not using ‘real’ coral…but an enameled metal in a [...]

As I write this post, it is cold…dreary…rainy… Sara Beltran’s Mexican Bracelets are just what the doctor ordered to bring Vitamin D into any day…bright…sunny…cheerful. “A lot of her pieces are shells that she picks from the ocean and then makes a mold and then casts them in 18k gold, mostly pink gold.
