I stopped into Studio Jewelers earlier this month (Jan) after seeing an ad in the Isthmus newspaper. I decided to check out the vibe and explore their collections. At first, I wasn’t sure where to begin. It’s best to take your coat off, stay awhile and enjoy their sunny showroom full of sparkle/shine. Hannah, Mary, and even the two cats (gatos :) made me feel relaxed. I tried on a few pieces at various price points and found myself drawn to a stunning pair of earrings by E.M. that I didn’t want to sleep on. With my birthday approaching, it felt like the right moment for a meaningful splurge. The more I admire them, the more they reveal their “why,” and feel like the right addition to my own collection. Sarah, their talented metalsmith, wasn’t in that day. I returned the following week to pick them up. She adjusted a post for me and did a wonderful job. I love the neighborhood, appreciated the ease of off-street parking, and enjoyed the thoughtfully coordinated experience - perfectly timed for my birthday. 💜
