What’s Spinning: The Hold Steady



The "Hold Steady" could possibly be my favorite live band of all time (and I've seen quite a few). I've been revisiting some of their classics in the circle studio. Please...check them out!

Trunkt Portfolio



Check out our cool circle portfolio on Trunkt, the premiere directory of artist entrepreneurs. And do a little browsing...there is much to see. A little word of warning, if you're in a hurry skip this one, it's a major time-eater.

What’s Spinning: Metric



In honor of the 2010 Winter Olympics the Canadian band Metric's 2009 release Fantasies has been on heavy rotation this weekend in the circle studio; I must have listened to it about a dozen times yesterday. If your a fan of indie new wave check them out, they are impossibly addictive.

spring cleaning

Are you preparing to get a little jump on your spring cleaning?
Don’t forget your jewelry drawer.

You know the one…that scary little drawer filled with broken rings, twisted earrings and that sorry, tangled mess of necklaces that just keeps growing and growing? Go ahead, it’s time to pull out all those pieces of damaged jewelry and let the circle studio help with our expert repair and restoration services.

The circle studio is your full-service jewelry studio…we not only design and hand-craft our own original jewelry pieces, but we also repair and restore those you already own. Often all it takes is a careful polish, clean and steam and voila...that favorite piece is beautifully restored back to its original grandeur. If, however, restoration just won't suffice and you're in need of expert repair service such ring resizing, re-tipping of pendant or ring prongs, chain repair, stone resetting or whatever...no problem, we do it all at the circle studio. We have 50+ combined years of Master Goldsmith experience and we will not work on your piece until it has been thoroughly examined and we have discussed all the options and costs. You can ship us your item via US Mail Service insured, FedEx, or UPS and we will return it to you in like-new condition.
Please for a repair estimate or to set up an in-studio appointment.

We offer these circle services:
-expert jewelry restoration: we thoroughly polish, ultrasonically clean and high pressure steam your worn jewelry
-jewelry repair: sizing, ring repair, chain repair, resetting or replacing stones...with 50+ years of combined experience we can do it all

what’s spinning: Vampire Weekend



I'm a big fan of Vampire Weekend...their first album was on super heavy rotation in the circle studio and the newly-released second album is even better. Check out this little interview/concert vid from Pitchfork:TV's Juan's Basement series, it's pretty cool.

frosty

image
Celebrate the season with a little frosted white gold. I love the striking look of diamonds and pearls offset by a background of rich frosty white gold or sterling silver, in fact, I believe this is the finish I most often incorporate into our pieces. If you prefer a bright, high polish or a more rough, brushed look...no problem. We are happy to finish all of our pieces to suit your taste at no charge. Simply enter your wishes into the "message" field on our online order form and we will happily accommodate.

winter trunkshows

image

What could be more fun than picking through a huge pile of hand-crafted circle jewelry? We are now scheduling for our winter 2009/2010 season of in-home and in-store trunk shows.
Set a date and we will show up with…guess what? ...yes, a trunk-full of jewelry. Provide us with the appropriate space in your home or store and we will unpack, lay out and display a vast array of circle bracelets, earrings, rings, pins, pendants and necklaces.

If you are a gallery, jewelry store or boutique owner who would like to plan a show around a special promotion, such as a store anniversary, please contact us as soon as possible so we can secure the date. We have promotional posters to hang up in your store and we can also provide artwork or mailings if you wish to send fliers to your favorite customers. Finally, we will send a press release packet to the editor of your local paper informing him/her of the event (please note that it is at the discretion of the editor whether or not to print).

Please if you would like to schedule an in-home or in-store event or if you have any questions.

A word of caution...it is a little twisted and, if you're anything like me,
a serious time eater.
