    “Women think of all colours, except the absence of colour. Black has it all. White, too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.”
    – Coco Chanel

    We love the way Charles Garnier mixed Onyx and Mother of Pearl with Sterling Silver to create a bold and modern look.

  8. Pick of the Week – Kabana Opal Earrings

    Leave a Comment

    kabana earrings

    Kabana, also known as the master of inlay, was founded in New Mexico in 1975. Since then each of their beautifully crafted pieces have been created and manufactured fully in the United States.

    “Each gemstone is meticulously sculpted by hand to fit perfectly into its channel, and then thoroughly hand-polished to a seamless finish. Our solid inlay creates a gemstone that rises above the gold forming a dome, creating Kabana’s signature look that is recognizable around the world.” (Kabana)

    Personally, we love these 14k yellow gold opal and diamond earrings that swing gently from your ears. The earrings each feature a dangle of a marquise-shaped natural Australian opal, inlaid in a yellow gold bezel. The opals are partially surrounded by 11 shared-prong-set round diamonds.  They are perfect for day or night!

    Stop by and visit these beauties in our store or online here!  Be sure to see our entire Kabana collection here!
