Dogeared Bridal 2011 Collection And Catalog

Los Angeles, CA, – Dogeared Jewels & Gifts, a trendsetting fashion brand that creates handcrafted jewelry in Los Angeles, continues its focus on weddings, with the Dogeared Bridal Catalog, 2011. The collection features new classic-modern jewelry and gifts designed for brides, bridesmaids, flower girls, and the entire wedding party. Suggested retail prices range from $24 – $252, with much of the collection priced under $75.

“Dogeared Bridal originally grew out of the wedding business we were already getting with our regular Dogeared collection,” comments Marcia Maizel-Clarke, founder and designer. “Brides were looking for something more personal to give to maids of honor, bridesmaids, flower girls, and moms. Today’s brides know their stuff, they research a wide variety of sources for wedding jewelry and bridal party gifts. Because they were choosing Dogeared for the meaning, the handmade quality, and the spirit of our jewels, we saw the need to expand on what we were offering them.”

Dogeared’s new Bridal catalog continues its commitment to brides of all styles, tastes, and personalities. Diamonds, pearls, charms, gift-friendly price points, jewels and words celebrate friends, family, and love. The look is always classic, clean, fresh, and beautiful. Classic Dogeared best-sellers have been redesigned, and in the case of Karma, been redefined for Bridal. The Make a Wish line is featured on specially printed Dogeared Bridal cards, with concepts including the new Maid of Honor and New Beginnings. The charms are recycled sterling silver, also available in gold-dipped, and come on gold-dipped or sterling silver chains, or on silk thread selected to match the wedding colors. Brides ordering through the Bridal portal on dogeared.com, can order four of the same select item and receive a fifth piece free.

“It seemed natural for Dogeared to launch a collection with a bridal focus. We created new concepts and put a wedding-themed spin on others, and offer custom charm and card combinations for a truly personal touch. And we really dove into pearls- I absolutely love the pearl strand page in the Dogeared Bridal catalog!” continued Maizel-Clarke. “This season’s newest favorites are the Will You Be My Bridesmaid? and Will You Be My Maid Of Honor? earrings- such a sweet, memorable way to begin the planning stages of a dream wedding! That’s really the heart of Dogeared Bridal… Creating memories; celebrating friends, family, and love… It’s so Dogeared! And we really believe that being who we are always leads to success.”

The Dogeared Bridal Collection is available at select retailers and at dogeared.com. Custom orders are shipped within 14 days. All diamonds are conflict-free, all sterling charms are made of 100% recycled silver, and all cotton is organic.

Dogeared is celebrating its 20th birthday with special events, limited edition jewels, and a yearlong giving initiative:

Karma In Action

“20 years in business, and it’s still as simple as it was when we started on this journey. Our jewels have the power to connect, inspire, and become part of people’s lives. I believe Dogeared has been successful because we design in the spirit of love, joy, and possibility. Using that as our inspiration, everything we create has meaning, and contributes to completing the circle… good karma, good energy, and good relationships.” Marcia Maizel-Clarke, Dogeared founder & designer
