New Jewelry In Bloom

Style
Written By Elizabeth Todd

I am always looking for new jewelry lines. Something that I haven’t seen before, which after 20 years of being in business it is really hard to find something I haven’t seen. Last year I happened to be in a new showroom where Stella Pardo was now being represented. Usually, showrooms don’t have much jewelry. So, I was so happy when this showroom had such a wide variety of offerings. There were shoes (that’s how we got Sophique) and candles (how we got Baobab), and our newest jewelry line, Peracas.

In one word, it was pretty – really, really, pretty. When I looked at the display it was almost like I was looking at a garden. It was colorful and delicate and just stunning. I loved all of it. It was really hard to edit my buy. I wanted it all. The line is all created by hand in Istanbul using semi-precious stones and crystals on a 24K gold plate. Each piece is unique.

I am so excited to bring these pieces to our store, they are in The Hive to be exact. If you need a last-minute Mother’s Day gift anything from this collection would be perfect. I can’t imagine any of us have something similar.

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
