Let's Start this off with a brand new vendor, New Histories Jewelry!

Tell Us About New Histories Jewelry: 

NJH supports heirloom culture, where jewelry becomes a link between family members over generations. We also encourage the public to buy jewelry made with materials other than gold and white diamonds, changing social perceptions of value.

All production ring designs are made in sterling silver and natural gemstones. I work in conjunction with Arttech Casting Company because they are committed to using recycled and scrap metals. I also make many one-of-a-kind pieces, and produce some pieces in cast bronze.

Which of your products is the your favorite gift giving item? 

It's a tie between the Double Skull Ring and The Victorian Acrostic Ring- both so sweet: 

Double Skull Ring: A Memento Mori inspired piece, this sterling silver ring dons two matching human skull forms, symbolic of two people becoming one through love and commitment. 

Acrostic Ring: Many Victorian rings feature “the language of the stones”. These rings most commonly spell out either “DEAREST” or “REGARD” using the first letter of each set gemstone, characteristic of the highly sentimental era. This sterling silver ring is embellished with brilliant-cut pink tourmaline, emerald, yellow sapphire, blue sapphire, and amethyst gemstones, spelling “ASSET”.

My favorite thing about the holidays is...

Family, food, friends, and that warm feeling only this time of year can bring.
