Elena Solow Jewelry

I can't believe I haven't put any pictures of our jewelry up yet. We're famous for our jewelry and my wife, Cassandra, does such an amazing job of stocking our cases with designers of all flavors. We just recently received a box of goodies from one of our personal favorites, New York based Elena Solow.

Elena has a boggling collection of antique Mexican earrings, all filigree and motion, which we were made privy to one night in her apartment after a tequila shot was pressed into our hands. Elena's antiques inspire her own designs, which are then brought to life by a single silversmith in Mexico, each one created entirely from scratch. There are no molds; every bird, leaf, heart and crown are entirely original, hammered and etched into existence one by one; every ear wire rolled and shaped by hand.

This picture is just a small slice of what we have on hand, swing on by to check out the rest. And if you can't make it in, just contact us to request a few more pictures.
