A few years back, Lizzie Fortunato launched her fine jewelry line. Of course, I was obsessed immediately, but at the time, it was only available for purchase directly through Lizzie. They were starting small, and since everything was made by hand, the quantities were very limited. It launched and, of course, was a success, and stores like ours were bombarding them with emails saying, "let me know when we can start carrying it."

When I went back to New York last fall for the first time, I, of course, had to ask again - persistence tends to pay off, I have found. They were so gracious and added The Hive to the very limited list of stores that are allowed to carry Lizzie Fine Jewelry. We didn't know it at the time, but it was perfect for us to launch at our new location up Cameron Street. The pieces are all like the classics they are known for, just with a luxe upgrade - all 14 karat, and each piece is made by hand with semi-precious stones like amethyst, citrine, moonstone, and mother of pearl.

We hope you love it as much as we do. This spring, we will add more unique pieces to the selection. Just like always with Lizzie Fortunato, you can't go wrong with the main line or the fine line. They layer perfectly together. As I said, these pieces are so good - you will be obsessed too!
