The delight of landing in New York to a powerful 27 Degrees Celsius is a marvellous situation: I adore spending a few days in this city.
There is a certain energy in NY that I really relish – although granted it is especially when the sun is shining (but not into those July-August burning-heat levels). Having been there in the depths of their brutal winters, I can confirm I am far more inclined to a spring or end of summer trip. My dad lived in New York in the late 70’s, & I was close to being brought up in New York/New Jersey…that’s for sure a tale for another time.
There were a few delightful experiences on this particular visit.
Alongside the new Til Death Brand (TDW sits underneath Marrow Fine – a jewellery brand with darker undertones & sterling silver pieces) I hosted an event in the Lower East Side to launch our new Cross My Heart pendants. Inspired by a vision of the co-existence of beauty & darkness, the design pairs rose motifs with a sharp dagger silhouette.
Available in an (adorable) micro version as well as a bold, feisty version, this piece is also available in sterling silver with onyx centre, as well as in buttery solid yellow 10k or 14k gold. There’s also a long, versatile lariat chain; that can be clipped in multiple places to create a variety of styles/lengths.
As always, it was a joy to meet an array of the team (aka, followers) to whom I am forever grateful.
It’s truly always the most incredible experience hearing your stories, spending time & taking online conversations into real life. I will never take such experiences for granted.
Another incredible experience in New York was working with Maria Tash.
A brand I have loved for years, it’s been an absolute pinch-me moment to collaborate with them on a few content pieces. I was able to upgrade a few of my existing jewellery items whilst at their flagship New York store – I cannot recommend their customer service, jewellery, piercing experience enough.
