JAI: A Statement from the Heart

by on

Sukhothai, Thailand 2013

Hello everyone,

What a great start for all of us at JAI! I would first like to thank each of you for the great support. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to have this opportunity to share with you my travels, my experiences, and, most importantly, to present the beautiful collection by JAI.

First of all, I know many of you are curious about what the collection will look like. Just a quick update, I’ve been asked to keep the collection secret until our first show on May 30th. However, due to your overwhelming interest, I am going to give you a sneak preview!

JAI is a statement from the heart, where each piece of jewelry tells a story of a distant culture inspired by the passion of the craftsman. I hope I can share my travel stories from the Far East through this collection.

We will continue to introduce new designs until our first show on May 30th, so keep checking my blog for new updates.

Today, I would like to highlight a few of my favorite pieces:

First is a pair of beautiful earrings from the Bali Lanna collection. Most collectors have their studs and hoop earrings, and when we introduce a great new chandelier or drop earring, they always say “Where am I going to wear that? That’s not my style!” But once they try it on, I promise, their faces light up, and they say with a big smile “I really do love these".

Sterling silver and 14K carved Mother-of-Pearl drop earrings (J279139)

I am in love with these earrings for many reasons; they are incredibly feminine and versatile, and the natural tones found in the Mother-of-Pearl carvings allow you to pair them with so many different colors from your wardrobe.

I also recommend these new stackable Sterling Silver and 14K rings offered in three different color options (J279131). This is a fun way to add color to your summer wardrobe! The ring is substantial enough to wear on its own or can be stacked with other band rings to create your own unique look.
