Fall for Jewelry

I love this weather! Warm afternoons...crisp evenings when you need a sweater. Classic bags are on trend and Lisa Robin Jewelry Paisley Collection pendant and bracelet in sterling silver work beautifully to keep the classics current.

Pantone Fall 2011-The Art of Color-Sensible and Spirited

       

Taking cues from the great masters, sepia tones of old Hollywood, Chinese opera, cityscapes and countryside, designers are paying close attention totexture, contrast and color for fall 2011 – pairing menswear with feminine twists, warm prints with cool metals, incorporating both old and new influences, and creating an intriguing balance between colors. See the entire report at Pantone.

Too late for pink? Jewelry for a romantic style.

A statement necklace can be feminine and romantic. It is all in the style. The Cordoba Collection by Lisa Robin Jewelry.

Handcrafted in oxidized sterling silver and gold, and set with gorgeously colorful gemstones, the earrings, pendants, and bracelets in the new collection were inspired by a Spanish embroidery design made popular by Catherine of Aragon, first wife of England’s King Henry VIII. The collection takes its name from the city of Córdoba, Spain, once the intellectual center of the West, with a history dating back to the Roman Empire.

The designs feature artful leaf motifs and graceful symmetrical curves, accented with tastefully subtle gemstone orbs. Like all Lisa Robin pieces, they give off a tactile aura; just looking at the jewelry makes you want to reach out and run your fingers over it.

The collection’s tagline—“Romance every day”—is a nod to Córdoba’s Roman past and to the sense of allure every woman should feel when she puts on a beautiful piece of jewelry, whether she’s simply going to work or dressing up for a special night out. And naturally, the Cordoba Collection designs will please men hunting for gifts for their wives and girlfriends, too, especially at retail price points between $160 and $1400.

This collection is so special to me because one of my most romantic travel experiences was in Spain. The designs have captured the magic of those memories.

Not your typical woman. Jewelry that sets you apart.

Hot, Hot, Hot in NYC. Lisa Robin Jewelry finalist for new Designer of the year.

 

I was in NYC as a finalist in the Jewelers of America Mort Abelson new Designer of the Year Award. I was so honored to be one of the 10 finalists. Congratulations to Robert Kaylor who was given the honor. Arrived a few days early to, as I heard it said, eat-shop-repeat. The weather finally broke yesterday in after several days of close to 100 degrees.Cool cotton sundresses were the only way to go. Stack rings have become a staple for me.

Lately, I have been wearing three pendants together as charms on a long chain. Very casual, very easy.

Lusting after a Ring

My friend Leah wore the Signature Gemstone Ring in Citrine in a recent fashion show benefiting the Greene County Red Cross and fell in love with it. She can't decide between the Citrine, Amethyst, Blue Topaz or Smoky Topaz. All are fabulous. My favorite is the Amethyst. Check out my Facebook page for more rings.

New Designer Gallery-JA NY

  I am so excited Lisa Robin Jewelry is one of only 10 jewelry design companies selected to exhibit in the New Designer Gallery at this summer’s JA New York Show. The show, which is only a few weeks away (runs from July 24 to 26 at the Javits Center in Manhattan), is one of the oldest, most prestigious, and best-attended jewelry trade shows in the country. I will be in the special gallery in booth 1159.

And what makes it so fabulous is the New Designer Gallery is among the most exclusive spaces at JA. Since it came into being in 1977, the gallery has featured some of the jewelry industry’s brightest stars. Exhibiting in the gallery has helped launch the careers of top designers including David Yurman, Penny Preville, John Atencio, and Alex Sepkus. I should be so fortunate as to follow in their footsteps.

“It’s a prestigious thing,” Cindy Edelstein told me. Cindy is the designer consultant for the show and former fashion editor of JCK magazine, one of the industry’s leading trade publications. “The New Designer Gallery has been the starting point for designers forever.”

Appearing in the New Designer Gallery is literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can only be showcased here once and as an exhibitor in the gallery, I will be eligible to win the Mort Abelson New Designer of the Year Award. The winner will be named on July 25 from the list of very talented  designers. It looks like I have some steep competition. Wish me luck!

Jewelry for a Happy July 4th!
