Hi Everyone,


This summer has been tremendously busy for us at Relios. We had so much fun designing and creating the QVoyager Arizona Turquoise items. The shows were a fantastic celebration of American mined turquoise in American made jewelry! Thank you for making them such a great success and for all of your positive feedback. As you know, all of our jewelry is crafted right under our roof here in Albuquerque, New Mexico by an amazingly dedicated group of Relios associates. Bill likes to remind me that with each new Sincerely Southwest collection we design, our craftspeople are increasingly challenged with new techniques and new materials. I can tell you that the pieces you will see during our three shows on August 12th are the result of many hours of dedicated skill and commitment, and some will be a little limited.


Which reminds me, I want to let you know that we are busy fulfilling your wait list orders from the QVoyager Arizona Turquoise shows. We want you all to get what you have patiently been waiting for. It will be worth it! Wasn't Jane fantastic? What an absolute pro and delight she is, and a very dear friend. We had a great time hanging out in the desert together with you all!


Back to August 12th. You know how I told you about the fabulous trip Susan and I took to Basel last April, and how incredibly inspiring it was? Well, many of the new collections I will be sharing with you are the fruits of that wonderful experience. We have this big magnetic wall in our design studio where we first posted inspirational tear sheets from our trip, then conceptual renderings, and finally technical drawings. Yesterday I removed all of that work in process and replaced it with photographs of the actual finished jewelry. I have never been more excited! There will be six new collections, one of which features a rare gem from Arizona that we have never been able to acquire before!


I hope you will join me on August 12th beginning at midnight for two hours with Rick, and then at 2:00pm for two hours with Jill, and the final two hours with Carolyn at 7:00pm. I look forward to spending time together, and hearing what you think of all of our new collections and current favorites!


Our Relios family truly appreciates that you continue to collect and enjoy our creations. Knowing that you are all feeling fabulous is the greatest inspiration!
Sincerely,
Carolyn
