Introducing Our Newest Artist... Rosanne Pugliese!


If you haven't already started your summer wardrobe shopping, now is a great time to take a plunge into our newest designer's cool summer jewels! Fit for summer days from sun up to sun down, Rosanne Pugliese's gemstone earrings are the perfect complement to the colors of summer. We relentlessly search for the most fabulously talented artists in the jewelry world - and we love the thrill of the catch, and so it is with great pleasure that we present to you, Rosanne Pugliese! Discover what her jewelry is all about!

Saturday, May 24, 2014

Please Welcome Rosanne Pugliese!

We are delighted to introduce to you our newest artist, Rosanne Pugliese! Handmade in a small artisan workshop in New York City, the majority of Rosanne's collection is made in 22K gold. Each piece is hand wrought, from the timeless hoop earrings to the intricate chains.

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/rosanne-pugliese/show-all

Rosanne carefully chooses each gemstone that is incorporated into every elegant piece. Her designs are earthy and raw while keeping to a classic and gentle feminine look, which makes them so unique and prized. There is an extremely apparent respect that is given each piece from start to finish.

Rosanne is very intentional in the way that she runs her small jewelry company so that it may remain an environmentally responsible business, using only recycled precious metals.

Credit goes to design director Toyo Kurokawa for her talent and inspiration, and for the quality of each piece that leaves the workshop.

"I discovered my passion for jewelry making while in the midst of a career in the fashion world. I was greatly influenced while designing for Calvin Klein, honing an eye for choosing luxurious, sensuous materials and putting them to work in clean, modern, sculptural forms." -Rosanne Pugliese
We just LOVE Rosanne's work! It is refreshing and sophisticated. Her use of asymmetrical and mismatched gemstones is so invigorating and playful. These aspects coupled with her gentle finishing techniques give this jewelry collection a true sense of wonderment and refinement. There is no mistaking the attention to detail and fine lines that are so present in this strong body of work.

Visit Quadrum to view this beautiful new collection in person, or catch a sneak peek at the gallery's luxurious new addition here.

Gemgossip Visits Quadrum!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of playing jewelry with Gemgossip correspondent Alexis Kletjian! This is a woman with the winning combination of great style and impeccable taste, who is an emerging jewelry designer to boot! (Not to mention she holds GIA accreditation and a hidden talent for a good game of charades!)
Not only do we admire Alexis' wide range of talents and strong sense of self, but we adore that she believes the best splurge is "anything that makes you feel beautiful or happy every time you come across or experience it's benefits.  It could be a daily latte, jewelry, furniture, professional portrait of your family, or the extra time you carve out for yourself."  YES!
Check out our favorite new Bostonian's blog, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest pages and you will quickly see why we made fast friends with this gal!
We just love how Alexis was able to mix up all of our jewels to create a super fabulous, mouth watering photoshoot

It is incredible that Alexis is fully immersed in the amazing work of Gemgossip, a site that has long been on our radar as one of the premier outlets to discover jewelry...from the oldest of vintage treasures to the newest of modern day master pieces.

Danielle Miele, the creator and genius behind Gemgossip began her successful blog in 2008, and has since inspired the WORLD over to #showmeyourrings !! Her Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest pages all further reveal her jewelry obsession (that we clearly share!!).

As a GIA graduate, Danielle spends her time jewelry appraise-a-ring'ing, blogging, instagramming, facebooking, managing her own website and Etsy page and auction house hunting! *Whew* and we love every minute of it!

We thank this busy girl, as she is forever traveling and using her keen eye to seek out the very best jewelry in the whole wide world. Danielle, you are an inspiration to all of us jewelry obsessed folk! You keep us on a wild ride through the world of jewelry, never stop!!

May We Interest You in a Cocktail?!

Cocktail rings, mixed drinks, it's Saturday...and we love them both, so why not have at it?!
While you don't necessarily have to be sipping a martini in order to sufficiently flaunt your fabulous new ring, it certainly doesn't hurt the matter.

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/jamie-joseph/category-1/show-all

Historically, the cocktail ring (also known as a dinner ring) was a piece of jewelry that was first and foremost over sized. This large stone was also often surrounded by tiny stones.
We modern women can work with this!
Large stone? Check!
Statement maker? Check!
Dinner, Cocktails? Check, Check!


http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/jamie-joseph/category-1/show-all

We thank Jamie Joseph (pretty much on a daily basis) for giving cocktail rings a fresh new look. Unique, colorful, bold and affordable - they consistently blow us out of the water with their gorgeous array of stones cut into unparalleled shapes. 

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/jamie-joseph/category-1/show-all

With the warm weather here at last, we can finally give our sun kissed hands and freshly manicured nails an over sized complement! There is every color to choose from...what speaks to you?!

http://instagram.com/quadrumgallery#

Visit the gallery to see our complete treasure trove of Jamie Joseph cocktail rings, or view an abbreviated version of the collection here.

See you on the patio!

Enhydro Quartz Pendants by Maria Beaulieu



These one-of-a-kind Enhydro-Quartz pendants from Maria Beaulieu have just been added to our cases! Each stone has a water filled chamber within...utterly unique and completely captivating. These special pendants hang from Maria's handmade paperclip chains - aren't they simply breathtaking?!
Maria Beaulieu’s Rock Crystal Enhydro “Bubble” amulets have a soothing, grounding energy that will unite you with the power of each stone. You just have to hold one of these special “Bubble” pendants to feel the mesmerizing, meditative energy.
The word "enhydrous" has Greek origins meaning "having water within". Enydros often contain bubbles of air trapped in the pockets of water within the crystal, and so they are also sometimes called "water bubble quartz" which contains channels of water purified by hundreds of thousands of years of geological time, and intense heat and pressure. The "channels or voids" can contain extremely large air bubbles to teeny tiny bubbles along with black specks. By the logic of their formation, enhydrous water bubble quartz usually contains inclusions and can have really interesting matrix. Look deep inside and each stone has its own unique Zen landscape. No two are the same, depending on the stone you may see swirling clouds, rainbow inclusions and brilliant white inclusions within the quartz crystal. Go ahead and get lost!

Gabriella Kiss: A Portrait in Creativity

"Enchanted with the gesture of the human hand, and the gestures of nature, Gabriella Kiss creates jewelry that reconnects us to the wonders of the forest and its floor. Her discoveries are our treasures..."" - Gael Towey

Gael Towey is an incredibly talented woman with an amazing repertoire of work under her belt. Her production company, Gael Towey & Co. Short Films has documented a number of artists and their inspirations in concise and gorgeous video form. Read more about Ms. Towey and her life's work here!

A recent video of Gael Towey & Co. Short Films highlights the beautiful life, work, and inspirations of Gabriella Kiss! We invite you to take a closer look at the jewelry designer, whom we all know and love, and jump at any opportunity to peek inside her fascinating world! 


We are forever in love with how Gabriella wears her jewelry - truly inspirational!
"Gabriella has a very balanced way of looking at the world...she has true beauty and inner beauty..."- Ted Muehling
"Pearls are amazing...Tahitian and South Sea pearls... really are treasures of the sea." -Gabriella Kiss
"Clipper ships...having a voyage taking place by your ears...I have always come at my work to be small sculpture..." -Gabriella Kiss
"I do truly have wonder for nature...and the tiny things in nature..it all is miraculous and amazing..." -Gabriella Kiss
The "Love Token" series was inspired by the 19th century tradition of giving a painted eye to a loved one.

Many thanks to Gael Towey, who produced and directed this lovely short film. It is no surprise that Ms. Towey's great love is storytelling. Her short-form videos, "Portraits in Creativity" reveal the bravery of artists and artisans all while seeking to capture the visual seduction of the creative process. Success, and bravo Ms. Towey...just like Gabriella Kiss' jewelry, this short film is a real treasure!

All images above have been taken from the film, courtesy of Gentl + Hyers, Directors of Photography, whom we also thank for sharing such visual brilliance!

(Andrea Gentl has an amazingly beautiful blog: http://www.hungryghostfoodandtravel.com/ - check it out!)

Also featured in the film are: Chris Lehrecke, Ted Muehling, and Ralph Pucci International.

#1 - Pendants from Todd Pownell
A pendant from Todd Pownell - what's not to love?! Sparkly, funky and totally special. Each of these pendants has a personality all its own. Make Mom stand out in one of these diamond dazzlers and she will beam from head to toe. We can hear her gasping already!!

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/barbara-heinrich/category-1/show-all
#2 - Barbara Heinrich stacking rings
What better way to commemorate what makes Mom who she is than by celebrating her children!? Barbara Heinrich's stacking rings are the perfect way to incorporate those precious birthstones into an everyday reminder of love and gratitude. Start a stack, or add to her existing one this year.
Classic. Heirloom. Pure. Love.

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/pat-flynn/category-6/show-all
#3 - Pat Flynn nail bracelets
An absolute Quadrum favorite! We think everyone should own one, or five, of these bracelets!! They are the perfect everyday piece of jewelry that can easily be added into any bracelet stack to noir it up, or worn alone for the simple days (because those happen too!).
Let this be the bracelet that gives Mom the (sometimes much needed) daily reminder of how much she is cherished. We REALLY love these forged iron nail bracelets, and mom will too. Diamonds, gold or both! You know her best...which one would she love?!
http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/jamie-joseph/category-1/show-all
#4 - Jamie Joseph rings
We tend to think of holidays in terms of colors, stones, metals and moods. Mother's Day falls in the early spring days of fresh green coming back to life, and vibrant colors starting to pop all around. The winter blues are being shed away and excitement is on full blast for the splendid seasons ahead. Honor Mom on her holiday with a bold and lively gemstone ring from Jamie Joseph! This is the perfect gift for a woman who really gets into the spirit of the season.
Match her exuberance with a gorgeous gem!
http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/reinstein-ross/category-5/show-all
#5 - Earrings from Reinstein/Ross
 These earrings are sensational! Elegant, glamorous drops of sparkling diamond delight!!! Reinstein/Ross' sleek, classic designs speak for themselves. They alloy all of their own gold and hand make each piece in their New York City studio. Their dedication to perfection shines through.
A pair of Reinstein/Ross earrings is a wonderful gift because you can add a different drop for every occasion. Start Mom on a journey of versatile earrings that last a lifetime.
What else can we say?! These earrings are simply sublime. Mom will be speechless too.
http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/loriann-stevenson/category-2/show-all
#6 - Diamond Slice Pendants by Loriann Stevenson
For the minimalist, modern Mom we have natural diamond slice pendants by Loriann Stevenson. Seeing is believing when it comes to the way these little pretties sparkle!
Get noticed from across the room without putting on much.
Layer them up, or keep it simple, simple, simple. These are just as fab with a plain T-shirt!
That's what makes these one of the greatest Mom gifts of all, because we know she is on the go and doesn't always have time to think about how to accessorize...the solution is right here.
Look better than good, day and night!
http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/todd-reed/category-1/show-all
#7 - Todd Reed stack rings
What will Mom love today, and every day? Her family, of course...and these rings! Todd Reed has so many breath taking designs to choose from and never skimps on the ooh-and-aah factor. Let Mom have it this year with an intensely gorgeous stack of Todd Reed rings! His raw diamonds paired with oxidized metal and pops of gold are a sure fire way to make Mom giddy with jewelry joy!
(Are you seeing a theme here? Stacking rings! They are such a great gift, because you can add on to the stack at every celebration!!)

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/maria-beaulieu/category-2/show-all
#8 - Enhydro Quartz Bubble Amulets from Maria Beaulieu
Fascinate Mom with one of these completely unusual and absolutely striking Enhydro Quartz amulets. Maria Beaulieu hand makes each chain that pairs perfectly with these enchanting pendants. Want to wow Mom with an extraordinary fact?! The stones have water trapped inside the crystals from millions of years ago! Looking for a gift with soul? This is where it's at!!

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/gabriella-kiss/category-1/show-all
#9 - Gabriella Kiss rings
Anything from Gabriella Kiss. Seriously.
If your special lady is the kind of girl who loves curious, nature inspired jewelry - Gabriella Kiss is her jewelry match made in heaven! We crush on Gabriella's rings and everythings, and we (clearly) have trouble choosing just one, but the snake ring is her newest addition to our cases so...we are obsessing. 
Gabriella's stone rings run the gamut from sapphire to dendrite to natural diamond. They stack beautifully and are set in perfectly scalloped handmade bezels. 
Impeccably complementing one another, these rings are such a lovely way to mark a milestone.
Think outside the proverbial box this year and give Mom a wild surprise, literally.

http://quadrumgallery.com/artist/john-iversen/category-5/show-all
#10 - Jax earrings from John Iversen
 There are so many versions of this classic earring by John Iversen, and we love them all! The Jax earring has been a long time favorite at Quadrum, and this Mother's Day we are singling out the oh so pretty pearl style. This is a peek into our John Iversen case, where his designs are always organic in nature and exciting in presence. Come see for yourself the beauty these behold and choose the pair that best suits your lucky lady. We know Mom will love them!!!
