I can’t believe that Summer is over!!  I do admit, however, that Fall is my favorite season.  I love the changing colors and crisp air.  There is something very nostalgic about the Fall for me.  Maybe it's memories of  walks that I used to take with my children through the Vermont woods collecting bright leaves.  I will have to resurrect that tradition with my grandchildren.

I'm looking forward to my Taxco Traditions by Dominique Dinouart show on Thursday, September 13th from 1 - 3PM.  I feel like I delved into a treasure chest of stones for this show!  Many of you requested that I add lapis to the assortment of stone choices available for THE ring J31081 (yes, kindaglitzy, I listened) and it looks fantastic!

Other requests were for more labradorite, so I designed a ring that I think works beautifully with that iridescent stone.  I liked the ring so much that I introduced a stone I have never used before, pink opal.  Let me know how you like it and I can use it future designs!

I only recently started working with faceted stones and I love the elegant look!  In my last blog, I had promised you a very edgy cuff with a 5-carat blue topaz; well, it never got on air, so this time it will!!

And to accompany it, I am bringing you a pendant in a choice of blue topaz or citrine on a strand of beads.

 

I also have some great new pieces for those of you who prefer strictly silver in bold designs which incorporate the beautiful hand hammering that the Taxco silversmiths do so well.  I hope there is something for all of you.  Please join me and call in with your comments and suggestions!

Peace and tranquility,

Dominique
