Notes of Interest

While Notes is updated regularly and may include news-worthy items, it does not cover current events. If you want up-to-date information about our current events and new pieces please go directly to News.

If you would like to know about our upcoming events please go directly to the Event Calendar.

Notes is our combination of a blog, newsletter archive, editorial page, and question & answer forum. This section is similar to the rest of our web site in that the themes are arbitrarily chosen. However, there is a loose filing system.

In the Archives you will find old newsletter articles and (by popular demand) reprinted For Men Only and Not For Men Only columns by Brian. You will also find reference sources --articles and in-depth essays that explore the historical background of some of the pieces that we make. This will eventually include essays about different historical periods that we are interested in.

In Tips & Topics you will find every thing from jewelry cleaning tips, birth stone information and event information, to articles about Renaissance costume accessories, fashion, self-expression, shopping, and jewelry.

This area of our web site is still being created. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding material you might like to see posted here please e-mail us. We will be happy to consider any reasonable request.
