If you want to take a more personalized approach, there is always Heather Moore Jewelry. You can create a charm stamped with your wedding date or the coordinates of the location you had your first kiss – really, the options for this collection are as endless as the love you have for each other!

It is time again for our annual Ladies Night Out, and this year in particular is even more exciting because we are also celebrating “Five Wonderful Years” here on Mission Street in San Marino! For this event, we are featuring 3 outstanding designers ( Syna, Arman, and Jemma Wynne) and are thrilled that the designers themselves are going to be in attendance. At the event, guests are encouraged to fill out their Holiday Wish Lists, purchase raffle tickets for one of the many amazing prizes (including a piece of jewelry from each of our featured designers), and get into the spirit of the Holidays by sponsoring a family through Foothill Family Service’s Adopt-A-Family program. This program ensures that underprivileged families have gifts to open on Christmas morning. Guests are encouraged to bring a friend, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and kick off the Holiday Season! Pictured below: Arman Gemstone Cross, Jemma Wynne Limited Edition Bi-color Tourmaline Earrings, and Syna Bauble Stack Rings.

In Defense of Our Love of Irene Neuwirth

shopsinglestone — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 21:30:02 +0000

Ok, we admit it! We do feature Irene Neuwirth quite a bit, whether it is on our blog, our facebook page, or displayed in a prominent case in our boutique. In our defense Irene’s pieces speak to our customers in a way that harkens to some of the great jewelry designers of the past 70 years. Rene Boivin and Suzanne Belperron come to mind when we think of Irene because, although their materials may be different, their execution of bold shapes and contemporary style is unrivaled. The aforementioned designers were ahead of their time when it came to throwing caution to the wind and dreaming up their pieces, and Irene is no exception. Who else can you think of that is combining 6 or more colored stones that have seemingly nothing to do with one another? Well, nothing to do with one another until Irene features them in a gorgeous necklace that is so true to her signature style.

The stars will be aligned this fall season as out-of-this-world celestial prints and fabrics make their way into boutiques around the world. These metallics, iridescent finishes, and three-dimensional textures are pairing up with celestial jewelry designs that showcase the moon, stars, and planets.

New for Fall: Jemma Wynne

shopsinglestone — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:14:06 +0000

We. Love. Jemma. Wynne. What is it that we love about this line? We love their use of interesting shapes and stones and their clean, modern designs. The company Jemma Wynne is the collaborative effort of Stephanie Wynne and Jenny Klatt, two young New York gals with a passion for jewelry and colored gemstones.

The line, still in its infancy, has garnered an enormous amount of attention from celebrities and fashion magazines. Most noted for their use of bi-color tourmaline, Jemma Wynne’s pieces are playful without being in-your-face. And, if you love to stack and layer, this line is perfect for you!

Timeless Trends

shopsinglestone — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 17:52:05 +0000

When splurging on a significant piece of jewelry, customers often ask us “what can I buy that I will still love in 10 to 20 years?” For us, the answer is simple; purchase something that is meaningful or symbolic. Today, designers are shifting their focus to pieces that are timeless and sentimental - that connect to an individual’s family or relationship. For example, Irene Neuwirth, known for her fashion-forward red carpet jewels, has launched a line of lockets that are available this fall. These lockets take her unique aesthetic of unusual colored stones and vibrant use of simple shapes and adds an emotional element by creating gorgeous lockets to wear close to your heart.

And when it comes to personalization, nobody gets to the heart of what is important in our lives better than Heather B. Moore. Famous for her hand-stamped jewelry collection, Heather’s pieces reflect what means most to those who wear her jewelry: family and home. Heather’s pieces are executed with a refinement that is unrivaled by others who make jewelry in this style – names, important dates, hobbies, and quotes are imprinted on pendants, bracelets and rings in a way that keeps our memories alive and in the present.
