Dogeared Jewels & Gifts: New Collection, Summer Trends & ENK Update

Culver City, Calif. – One of the wonderful things about living, designing and creating in Southern California, are the amazing colors that surround us. The ocean, sunsets, wildflowers, palm trees and plants are a perpetual inspiration. For our latest collection, we allowed Mother Nature’s palette to permeate everything we touched.

Our new Goddess Bracelets are made with beads of turquoise, goldstone, onyx and different colors of jade. In vivid colors, two sizes and with hand-cast, gold dipped charms; they are fabulous by the armful … the only way to wear bracelets this summer! Inner Circle necklaces combine large stone discs in amazonite, turquoise, and different colors of aventurine with large gold dipped charms on a chain or natural leather. Keep them close, wear individually or in mass, and create a statement of energy and vibrancy that is always on-trend.

For a fun contrast of size and texture, we have added enamel to the collection with our new Go-Go necklaces. A little bit 60’s and a little bit pop, you can rock your necklace with the latest colors for summer.

Remember friendship bracelets? We used to sit on the porch and make them for hours … and there is still no better way. We are re-introducing them with charms, faceted gems and brass beads on brand new colors … and they are all still hand knotted right here in Southern California, just the way they should be.

We LOVE how popular our natural canvas shopping bags have been … so we have made them bigger, better and colorful! And we have added Lil’Zip bags, for all those little (and medium!) things we always carry. Caring for the planet has never been easier – or cuter.

Of course there is more…(we have packed a lot in to our miniature catalog). More Attitude, more Wishes, more Seeds, more pearls, charms and Favorite Things … and perhaps most importantly, more ways to raise funds for Breast Cancer.

In all that we do, our goal is to inspire and support what is good and what is positive – making a statement and connecting with nature, with energy and with our inner spirit is what Dogeared is all about. As always, we thank you for your support and enthusiasm for Dogeared.

About Dogeared Jewels
When designer Marcia Maizel-Clarke recognized the need for jewelry that speaks, she founded Dogeared Jewels & Gifts in 1991 and she created the original word-jewelry and charms. The response to these and the success of the Make a Wish series of necklaces gave birth to a trendsetting, innovative family of products that capture the magic of words, symbols, wishes and dreams, a magic that has attracted international attention. Dogeared’s unique, custom cast jewels are regularly featured in fashion, lifestyle, and celebrity publications, in films and in television shows.
