A Beautiful Idea for a New Mom...

If you aren't familiar with featured San Francisco artist Tura Sugden's classic Needle Eye cuffs, then you need to swing by the shop asap and check them out. We particularly love her Scattered Diamond cuff... but we are IN LOVE with this birthstone adaptation!

When our client reached out for "push present" ideas for his wife, he knew he wanted something with amethysts to celebrate the (then upcoming) February birth of their daughter. I knew his wife's preferences well and sent over a few ideas of pieces she has loved from our shop, and one of them was Tura's Scattered Diamond cuff with the idea of adapting it to feature amethysts instead of diamonds. Tura can fabricate her Needle Eye cuffs in most birthstones, so they are a beautifully adaptable idea for a custom option. Our client wisely selected this style for his wife, and Tura hand-crafted the most gorgeous amethyst version in 18k yellow gold. It's stunning!

Tura can easily change the cuff size on her Needle Eye designs, so they're a great option even if you aren't 100% sure of the recipient's preferred fit. This would be a beautiful idea for Mother's Day, and since that particular holiday is only two months away (gasp), this would be a great time to get your order in! Tura is going on maternity leave, and her fulfillment time will be longer than usual, so order now for May arrival. And, good luck, Tura!
