Thanks to everyone who came out to our trunk show and bead sale earlier this month! It was great to see all of you.
For those who couldn't make it, here are a few shots of our loft studio during the sale, to give you a peek behind the scenes of avindy.

Pearls!

 We’re back! Our trip to South Africa was wonderful: 88-year-old Grannie Cissie looked glamorous in her Avindy necklaces every day we were there! Despite not being able to walk, she was dressed for the runway every day with a different mix of Avindy necklaces layered together, with matching earrings and bracelets. She has quite a collection after all these years!
We got back home full of ideas and inspiration for pieces full of vibrant color for our spring 2010 collection. We’re thinking unusual trade beads mixed with faceted gemstones for an unpredictable splash of color and texture: stay tuned.
 In the meantime we’ve got some best sellers from the studio: pearls, pearls and more pearls are flying out the door! Holiday season is around the corner and people are layering our pearls to make a real couture statement with a cocktail dress or blue jeans, for a very on-trend look.
Avindy pearls are classic yet funky, and so versatile. You can layer them with your own pearls to revitalize a sentimental strand in your drawer that never gets worn.
The down low: our pearls are freshwater, in organic shapes and neutral hues, and come layered with antiqued sterling silver chains and signature toggle tassels. The perfect complement to your 2009 holiday season, and long after.

In these tumultuous economic times, I am compelled to express my sincere gratitude to our wonderful staff and our fabulous customers. We are blessed at avindy with ten talented, dedicated, hard-working women and over 300 top notch boutiques that carry our jewelry. As avindy continues to grow, every day is an adventure. There is always a buzz of activity at the studio and we work together to bring you all the finest quality jewelry, the most unusual and beautiful designs and, as you all know, the best customer service! So a HUGE thanks to my girls, to my boutique owners and to all of you enthusiastic and loyal avindy.com customers. You make our world go round!
Our holiday collection is about reflection. We have groovy diamond peace signs to remind us how important it is to support and strive for peace in the world and at home. Our Earth Collection reminds us to be delicate with our footprints on the Earth and join together to revolutionize our approach to protecting the environment. Our evil eye pendants remind us to be cognizant of the evil in the world while at the same time, inspire us to be better people. It is our hope that avindy jewelry will continue to inspire us to rise above and be giving, be honest, be good. Life is too short and too precious to have it any other way!
