Wicked Peacock carries CN

We're so pumped for Wicked Peacock to open their first retail location in the heart of Boston..  They've been busting booty, painting, decorating and blogging to get ready for their grand opening this past weekend.. which of course, was a hit! How adorable is the shop!?

One of the perks of owning your own business is that you get to decide who's team you join.. And WP is one we're thrilled to be part of. They represent what we as artisans believe in: Handcrafted quality, home grown-home roots and building from the ground up. It reminds me of the of the Daniel Volland quote I posted a few weeks back, here. 

If you can't tell, we're so proud of WP and all the immense WORK that Silvana has put into this little gem. I'm looking forward to watching it grow + bloom!

My IG pal, Daniel Volland made a beautifully direct quote a few weeks back that I've found myself revisiting almost daily.  It's not only what we strive for but what we believe in. The daily decisions we make to support independent family business over the mega co's and in doing so, change the face of our generation. 

Enjoy + be sure to give him a follow!

Bands for Her

Since we took a stab at bands for our Beau's, we of course had to make collections for the ladies. I'm a band girl. I'm not one for big sparkly, bling rings, I never have been. [well, maybe when I was 12, but c'mon]. 

The colors, textures and collections we put together are all so lovely! J'adore.

Handmade from .925 Sterling Silver, sealed Brass and sealed Bronze.

Sterling + Bronze Collection No.1

Sterling + Brass Collection No. 2

Silver Stacking Collection No. 3. 

 Sterling Stacking Collection No. 4

We've already had so much interest in these lovelies, we sold out of collections 1 + 3 before getting to post them. More combo's to come soon, my dears. No worries. 

Until next time..

Pack it CN style

Packaging is one of those crucial elements of branding you're always revisiting. We've been perfecting and tweaking little aspects of ours for quite some time now. Not only do we want sharp, clean looking branding.. It should say something about who you are. 

 Over the last year or so we've been laser-cutting, printing, wrapping, taping and hunting to create packaging that fits us while being environmentally responsible. We've finally landed with this loveliness. 

Here's our CN packaging recipe:

▴ Biodegradable, recycled boxes made from egg cartons

▴ Recycled shredded paper

▴ Repurposed MDF price tags + earring boards

▴ Repurposed bubble wrap. That's right, our bubble wrap gets a second chance at keeping goodies safe, thanks to companies who recycle almost new bubble wrap to indie artisans like us!

We're pretty proud of our packaging. Especially since it's taken some elbow grease to get here. Simple + chic packaging while maintaining our desire to be low-impact on the environment. 

Maybe in a year or so we'll have the boxes molded with our logo and name pressed into the cardboard, but for now, it's exactly what we want!

Let them be rough

Travis felt it only fair for us to make a small collection of men's wedding + everyday bands. 

His main complaint in regards to mens jewelry: 'Stop refining the male genre!' Let us be rough, burly, earth-gritted men. We don't want to wear a piece of jewelry that looks like a larger version of a girls ring.. picked out by the girl in the first place. It should have character, history and a few battle scars...like a treasured relic.' 

Bullseye. So we sat down and designed, brainstorm, bickered and finalized this mini line. We hit the mark with these. 

Designed alongside my lover, crafted to withstand his manliness and just as handsome as the men we love.

[Sorry guys, Travis's hands were too burley to model this size ]

We'll be adding more and more rings to the shop soon.. Once the chaos of moving, painting and prepping the new studio space calms a bit.
