The Druzy Collection by Vitrine

Druzies are now so popular, and it's easy to understand why. They are textured and come in some amazing colors! When I started out on Etsy way back in 2008, I saw one and I was instantly in love. It really 'spoke' to me and reminded me of the rock sugar my mum would give me as a child! The necklace below was one of my first Druzy pieces in my shop.

When I was offered the opportunity to create a piece for the Stylist of the Hit TV Show The Vampire Diaries a few months ago, this gem is what was suggested. The Smoky Quartz druzy was oval but bore the same signature style of Vitrine's wire wrapping. The necklace was also bought by the Founder of The Artisan Group, Valerie Guerrero., who is seen wearing it (below) at GBK's Primetime Emmys Luxury Gift Lounge 2013 (and she is pictured with actor Raphael Sbarge, Hit TV show 'Once Upon a Time' who was also gifted my Carnelian earrings in his swag bag). Doesn't she look fabulous?!

Just in time for the Holiday Season, I've got some beautiful pieces in. I suggest you make a play for them because I have a limited number available! Some of the jewelry can be seen below and for the complete collection, see HERE.

New York Fashion Week 2013

I am so excited that New York Fashion Week is almost here! My Gemstone Cocktail Rings will be included in all of the Swag Bags gifted to the celebrities attending GBK Luxury Gift Lounge at New York Fashion Week (Sept 6-7, 2013) as part of The Artisan Group.

 

For this event, I wanted to create something that was bold and unusual. I mean, that's what New York and NYFW is all about! So I set each Jasper Gemstone nugget in a gold setting. These gemstones range from vibrant fuchsia, violet and hot pinks to more muted taupe and royal purple tones. They are visually stunning!

Just some of the Gemstone Cocktail rings being gifted!

 

I love creating a gifting 'experience' for anyone that received my handmade jewelry. So I completely personalized it with a handwritten note, tied to each ring and completed the box with ribbon, my business card and included it in my signature color gift bag!

 

 



Each ring had a handwritten note tied with ribbon and included in its box with my card.

 

 

If you'd like to have your own cocktail ring by Vitrine, you can purchase it here!

Vitrine's jewelry will be included with other talented artisans from The Artisan Group.

 

Each celebrity will receive all these gifts in their Swag Bag. Mine's the pink!

You can see them all in this digital version of the booklet that will be in each Swag Bag too!

 

Stephanie Drapeau Tweets!

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I gifted a pair of my Smoky Quartz Vermeil Gold earrings to Hollywood Actress Stephanie Drapeau. A few days ago she received my earrings, along with a whole bunch of goodies from The Artisan Group. Because there must have been atleast 50 items in the bag, she had quite a number to go through before she got to mine.

Stephanie tweeted each giftee a personal thank you message along with a picture. And my heart literally skipped a beat when I saw she tweeted me!

I'm feeling a little star-struck! I do hope that she wears these on the red carpet sometime soon :)

Meanwhile YOU can own a pair of these gorgeous earrings too.
