Four Fall Favorites

Without question, fashion influences my aesthetic, my style, and what I'm creating in the studio. So, I've decided to put together an assemblage of beautiful bits - something which may become a regular Tula Design post - bringing some of my favorite finds in fashion and hairstyles alongside a Tula piece or two!

I'm loving this delicious, oversize drapey cardigan sweater I spotted on huntingforgeorge.com, the tousled, loose coiffure looks perfect on every woman, and this incredible, feminine blouse from Michael Kors is just the right amount of sexy for day and night. My rose gold monogrammed Signet ring (also available in yellow or white gold) evokes the right balance of understated and heirloom-worthy - a bit of private school prep meeting 21st century sophistication. I can imagine it working wonderfully with each of these classic styles, modernized and effortlessly brilliant.

The story of emeralds

I recently made this14K gold bezel set emerald ring, along with its matching 14K gold emerald eternity band.  Absolute beauties together and perfectly symbolic of an enduring love, are they not?

And, in case you didn't know, the Ancient Romans associated emeralds with Venus, the goddess of love, believing the stones embodied fertility and faith while the Ancient Greeks wore emeralds to honor Aphrodite, their own goddess of love, fertility, and beauty. Also said to restore peace, clear the mind, and enhance clairvoyance, emeralds were Cleopatra's favorite gem! Wear this beautiful stone (also the birthstone for May) with the knowledge it is more than simply gorgeous, it carries a great history and restorative, mystical properties.

Happy Labor Day weekend (+ a few custom pieces to share!)

I hope you're planning for a long weekend of relaxation and fun!

A newly married client of mine just sent me these photos of her custom Tula Design rings and I felt compelled to share them with you all, as the photos are so gorgeous. Enjoy!

And have a safe and wonderful weekend.
