Those with November birthdays have two beautiful birthstones to choose from: topaz and citrine. Topaz comes in a rainbow of colors; citrine is prized for its yellow and orange hues. This beautiful east-west pear-shaped blue topaz ring from Ray Griffiths would be the perfect gift for anyone born this month (including yourself!).

New Nomos Glashutte watches continue to roll in with great new dial colors. The new Ahoi 38 Sky just arrived, and we love the new smaller size, automatic movement, and soothing blue dial color. The Ahoi is also one of the most water-resistant models, making it a great choice for the winter rainy season.

June is Pride Month! We are celebrating by donating a portion of every Sethi Couture rainbow sapphire band to the Trevor Project. The mission of the Trevor Project is to end suicide among LGBTQ youth. Sethi Couture's playful bands feature pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple sapphires set in 18k rose gold or 18k yellow gold.

All of the one-of-a-kind Alex Sepkus pieces from our Vegas order just arrived! We always schedule Sepkus for our first appointment of the show for the best selection. This year we went color crazy with tourmalines in every color of the rainbow, rubellite, turquoise, opals, citrines, druzy quartz, and Mahenge garnet. These pieces are not online yet, call or text for more details!

Are you celebrating a dad or grad this month? Watches by Nomos Glashutte are a great gift for dads and grads! Every year, the Club Campus is introduced in new colors just in time for graduation season. This year's electric green color so perfect for summer! We just received a 36mm with exhibition back today. This size is perfect on any wrist.

June is pearl month! We love these natural baroque pearl earrings from Ray Griffiths. Pearls are a timeless classic, perfect for celebrating a graduation, wedding, or professional accomplishment. They are also the traditional birthstone for June! Pearls have been treasured since ancient times, and never go out of style. As Jackie Kennedy once said, "Pearls are always appropriate.'"

Lucky June babies actually have three birthstones: pearl, alexandrite, and moonstone. Alexandrite is an extremely rare variety of chrysoberyl that changes color in different lighting conditions. Moonstone is a mystical gem that glows like its namesake. We love the moonstone gem tab by Lauren Newton. It pairs perfectly with our other charms!

February's Birthstone: Amethyst

February's Birthstone: Amethyst
amethyst geode piece

February's birthstone is the regal purple amethyst. Amethysts are a member of the quartz family, The name comes from the ancient Greek a- ("not") and μέθυστος méthystos ("intoxicated"), a reference to the belief that the stone prevented drunkenness. Medieval European soldiers wore amulets made out of amethyst into battle, believing that it would keep them cool-headed, and Tibetans consider amethyst sacred to the Buddha and make prayer beads from it.

In the Old World, amethyst was considered one of the most precious gems until large deposits of it were found in Brazil. Amethyst can also be found in Siberia, Sri Lanka, Austria, Canada, and even the United States, where it is the official state gemstone of South Carolina.

At Fox's, we think the perfect February birthday gift is this gorgeous amethyst necklace by Ray Griffiths:

If you don't like purple but still want to be protected from intoxication, you can still wear amethysts. These gemstones can be heat treated to become citrine and prasiolite, which are yellow and green in color, respectively. You may also find very pale amethysts, which are called Rose de France. Whatever shade you prefer, we can find it for you at Fox's!

Vegas Day 3

Day 3 in Las Vegas starts out with a glowing golden circle in the sky, and glowing golden circles at Gurhan in the form of these stunning 24k gold hammered disc earrings.

Gurhan is best known for his mastery of pure 24k gold, but several years back, he started mixing in sterling silver, and the result was incredibly fun and versatile. Below, Zoey stacks a Gurhan bracelet made of sterling silver, 24k gold, druzy quartz, and onyx with her platinum link Alex Sepkus bracelet.

Gurhan also does stunning work with gemstones, particularly opals. This incredible necklace of opal, kyanite, blue topaz, and moss aqua set in 24k gold came home to Seattle with us!

The next stop is at Harry Kotlar, another 3rd generation family-owned business like Fox's. Kotlar is best known for their signature - and incredibly beautiful - Kotlar cushion diamond, but this lovely oval really caught our eye.

Kotlar is also known for their artisan pave and meticulous craftsmanship. So many engagement rings to choose from!

We can't resist snapping a few pictures to remember these classic pendants by when we are back home.

Our last appointment of the day is with our friend Ray Griffiths. We had the pleasure of having Ray at our store a few months ago, and he is such a wonderful person with a great sense of humor. He couldn't resist getting silly with Zoey's baby bump!

We couldn't resist this row of beautiful blues! Aren't the tassels fun?

We love all of Ray's work, but turquoise mixed with his signature 18k yellow gold crownwork is such an eye-catching combination.

The last event of the day is the Couture awards, to honor the pieces of jewelry from the show that are particularly noteworthy in design and workmanship.

We head home early to compare notes and rest up for our last day at the show.

Spotlight on Ray Griffiths

Spotlight on Ray Griffiths

We had the pleasure of having one of our newest designers, Ray Griffiths, in the store for a trunk show last week. Ray is charming, talented, and has an Australian accent, which makes him pretty irresistible!

He also has a very interesting backstory. Ray is the son of a shoemaker and grew up making shoes. As a teenager he grew interested in making jewelry and became an apprentice at an old jewelry restoration house in Melbourne. As Ray puts it, "I started filing and hammering and turned out to be good at it!"

Ray Griffiths 18k yellow gold crown work rings. Multiple rings in many colors and sizes on fingers

After that he ran away from Australia and saw the world for 4 years, seeing many of the places and buildings that would later become inspirations for his jewelry - Greco-Roman ruins, Gaudi cathedrals in Barcelona, and Moorish architecture in Spain - before returning to Sydney and becoming a partner at a jewelry business for 18 years. He then packed his entire life - including all of his gold, gemstones, and jewelry making equipment - into a shipping container and moved to New York to seek his fortune, only to arrive to find that the shipping container had been stolen. He had nothing but the 2 suitcases of clothing he carried onto the plane. He worked at a clothing store until a generous friend gifted him her jewelry making equipment and he was back in business!

Numerous strands of necklaces by ray griffiths. Gem stones and 18k yellow gold pieces.

He spent the next 10 years making and selling jewelry at the late, great Fragments in NYC before launching his own label, which is when we found him. If you love architecture, antiques, gorgeous gemstones, and 1920's flapper necklaces, you will love Ray's jewelry. We hope you will stop by and take a look!
