new collections coming soon…



We are right in the middle of shooting a new collection
of very colorful rings in sterling silver, similar to these
oval cabochon rings.
If you like these, you'll love the new rich
green, blue and red cabochon rings in various shapes and sizes.

We're also adding a number of frosted gold and diamond bands
to the wedding collection,
so stay tuned.

experimental radio



Ira Glass and cohorts brilliant radio show
This American Life
is one of my favorite diversions while at the workbench.
Every engrossing episode is archived and available online,
so you can listen whenever you like.
I recommend checking out the Our Favorites page
where the staff has chosen their favorite episodes.
Every single one is a gem, but
House on Loon Lake, Babysitting, and Telephone
are great for starters.

the perfect gift for Mom

Don't forget-
Mother's day is May 13th and I think
that pearl jewelry makes a great gift for Mom.
With that in mind here are a few suggestions from our
pearl collection. Now that I think about it,
I believe my own Mother has received a few of these pieces in years past.

slender pearl band in frosted sterling

pearl plate earrings in frosted sterling

light pearl & sterling bracelet

pearl circle-dangle earrings in frosted sterling

Pure and simple, pearls always seem to make a very thoughtful gift
and symbol of appreciation.
to see more gift ideas, visit our
pearl collection

what’s spinning: classic Cure



I first heard concert-the cure live
when I was a high school student fortunate enough to be
living/studying/traveling throughout Brasil, South America.
It is a piece of music that, to my surprise, is still one of my favorites
and frequent background music in my studio and my life.

It sounds especially nice played extremely loud on my
very old-school studio stereo.
I apologize to all the lawyers who quietly office in my building...
but that's just the way it goes.

Friday procrastination assistance

If you need a little break from your mind-numbing workday
(and don't Friday afternoons seem to never end),
then check out The New Yorker's humor page.
I especially enjoy the Cartoon Caption Contest
where you can write your own caption to a New Yorker cartoon.

I mean come on, it's not like your actually getting any work done anyway.

Not interested in the mass produced and mass marketed,
then stop by Modish and have a look.

orbs of frosted quartz

I've been obsessed with frosted quartz for years,
it is a rich stone that works well in any season and subtlety
takes on surrounding colors.

image

I purchase all of my frosted quartz from a Polish stone cutter and
I am never 100% sure what I'm going to receive when I place my order...
opening the box is always exciting.
Visit the frost collection to see more.

don’t forget Mom this Mother’s Day

Remember, the big day is May 13th
so if you'd like to order a very special gift
here are a couple of suggestions.

The nut & bolt Mother's birthstone pendant



Mom can make a modish style statement
and show off all of her kids birthstones at the same time.




The circle add a ring birthstone pendant



Mom can add a birthstone baby ring for every child.

Both work great for Grand Mothers and their grand children, as well.

Of course, you can't go wrong with jewelry
on Mother's day, so be sure to browse our catalog,
we have many wonderful rings, earrings, necklaces, pins and pendants
to choose from.

Remember, each piece of circle jewelry is handcrafted when you place your order so
please don't wait until the last minute....
Dads, I'm talking to you.
