Here are some creative tips of my own using humble household goods. They work great in a pinch…or if you just want to try something new!

Gems for Good: Interview with Jeweler and Healer Andrea Rosenfeld | July 12, 2011

Who doesn’t love a pretty, sparkly gemstone? I sure do! But what if a gem can be so much more than a beautiful bauble?

The connection dates back to the 19th century when Madame Pommery commissioned sculptor Gustav Navlet to carve four bas reliefs for the estate and later had the famous cabinet maker and glass artist Emile Gallé create a solid oak Pommery barrel that holds up to … Read More »
