Two Collections That Take A Modern Spin On Jewelry From The Past

If you are a fan of the look of jewels from earlier time periods, but prefer to start your own story with pieces that are contemporary yet borrow inspiration, details or styling of bygone eras, these two collections are widely recognized for their modern spin on the popular styles of the past Beth Bugdaycay from Foundrae has been winning the hearts of women everywhere, including celebrities, with her tenet collections such as Dream, Love, Karma and Protection which include cigar bands, signet rings, and different size medallions with motifs and sayings, medallions that are meant to be layered and "Tell where you have been, where you are now and where you are going." Her beautiful enameled pieces and her selection of chains that recall men's fobs chains are also a part of the mix Bugdaycay has always taken liberties in mixing time frames and styles of the past with a daring that results in pieces that are cool, current and intentional.

Hot off the press are 'sealed gemstones' which are reminiscent of glass seals Bugdaycay explains, "Our Sealed Gemstones are made through a very intricate and labor intensive process We use faceted clear quartz as the gemstone which is cut into 2 separate stones.

Our gold symbols with diamonds are then layered between the stones and sealed back together The back stone is rose cut so that the faceted texture refracts the light and highlights the gold inside It is then set in a bezel which wraps around the perimeter seam of both stones" Three of the new Sealed Gemstone charms hanging on a link chain bracelet: cushion cut initial charm with small Sealed Gemstone Crest with heart inside.

In her distinctive style and with her affinity for jewelry that is deeply entrenched with meaning, Erica has continued to rejuvenate jewelry with a modern take on history and imbued all her pieces with a newly found presence-gutsier yet still feminine, an edgier take on the classical. . Source
