Hello all,

I’m thrilled to tell you about my August TSV – the Judith Ripka Verona Initial Heart Charm Bracelet.  This is my first-ever personalized item as a TSV and something I’ve been wanting to do for such a long time!  Initials are such a popular trend in jewelry right now, but I wanted to design a personalized piece that will never go out of style.  This bracelet is the perfect combination of modern and classic.  I’ve taken my signature “country link” design and enhanced it with beautiful alternating smooth and textured links which modernize the overall look and feel.  Part of my Verona collection, this bracelet is hand crafted in Italy and features my Ripka textured details.

Personalization is such a wonderful way to make jewelry more meaningful and expressive of your own style.  You can wear your own initial, or you can choose the initial of one of your loved ones to keep them close to you throughout the day.  And if you give it as a gift, they will know you selected something special just for them.  I’ve had the most perfect script initial lasered onto the charm, and I’ve added my signature berge and Diamonique lobster claw clasp for a finishing touch.

This is a must-have bracelet that layers absolutely beautifully with others in my collection from my Byzantine Bracelet to any of my cuffs as well as next to a watch.  However, it’s also gorgeous on its own due its significant scale and weight – a minimum of 37.8 grams.

Please let me know in the comments section which initial you select and why you chose it!  I love to see how you all style it at home.  Post pictures!

And speaking of style at home… I also wanted to catch you up on some of the news in my own life.  I was thrilled to welcome Vogue Russia to my Palm Beach home earlier this summer for a profile in their August issue.  As a designer, I’m constantly thinking of creative ways to make everything more beautiful and this of course applies to home interiors as well!

My new home truly reflects my personal style, and I especially love the interplay of light colored furniture and fabrics combined with pops of color provided by art that Ron and I have collected over the years.

It’s a space that not only accommodates the two of us but also provides an inviting layout and pleasant space for guests and parties.  I particularly appreciate how the layout of this house seamlessly integrates the outdoors – the patio is a favorite place to have breakfast or relax on weekends.

I hope you enjoy the photos and please let me know what you think or share stories from your own interior design projects.  And please, join me September 27^th from 12-2am, 10-noon, 2-4pm, 6-8pm, and 11-midnight (Eastern Time) to learn more about this beautiful bracelet and our matching Silver Verona Graduated Necklace in 18” and 20” lengths.
