I love Thanksgiving. Everyone celebrates this holiday and it is a time for reflection on the wonderful blessings we have in our lives. I am personally grateful for much this year. My health and the health of my family, the ability to spread goodwill to others, my wonderful friends and family, my staff with which I could accomplish nothing without, all those who love and support my work, and above all, my incredible daughter, Olivia, who has taught me as much as I hope I have taught her.
Thank you all for being a part of this jewelry business with me.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, I hope you have a fantastic holiday with those you love!
Best,
Amanda

CUSP
Since Fall 2006, CUSP from Neiman Marcus, has been a boutique with a to-the-point perspective. Their clients already know the right look of the moment and are eager to embrace what's next. They're still in love with the classics, but the CUSP girl knows it's the delicate balance between the radical and the refined that keeps her style on the CUSP. Amanda has designed 4 styles exclusively for CUSP. The Gable Choker, JB Earring, Currie Earring, & Blair Earring. Get yours before they're gone, they're the perfect accessory for all of those holiday parties!

Oh Happy Day!!
We have two big celebrations going on in the office today...a birthday and bosses day! Actually both events are tomorrow but the celebrations start today...
A history of Boss's Day:
Patricia Bays Haroski registered "National Boss' Day" with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working as a secretary in Illinois at the time and chose October 16 because she forgot that the birthday of her boss, who was also her father, was the 16th. Since, it has traditionally been a day for employees to thank their boss for being kind and fair throughout the year.
Thanks Amanda for being the best boss ever! Thank you for your kindness and generosity throughout the year and for making us feel like important parts of the team. We love you!
A history of Andrea Glanzer:
Andrea Lynn Glanzer was born on October 16, 1984. As a young child she enjoyed wrestling with her brother, cuddling with kittens, wearing visors and cleaning airplanes. Now as an adult she still enjoys cuddling with kittens, cooking delicious foods, weaving, and shopping/blacking out at Nordstrom Rack.
We love you Andrea, you make the office a cheery place! Have an amazing bday tomorrow!!

Looks We Love: Animal Prints
Sure, the trend of animal prints is nothing new, but this season it's back in all sorts of ways, and it's fierce. With this kind of edgy trend, edgy jewelry is a must - like mixing a lot of oxidized sterling silver with gold and pyrite. For those that aren't familiar, oxidized silver is basically just silver that has reacted with oxygen, and the result is a gunmetal color. The Jennifer Earrings, Pulsera Bracelet, Elle Earrings, and Katie Choker are all made of oxidized sterling silver material, and all look to die for with this trend. The Free People cardigan is good for those of you that want to take baby steps into the trend. It goes well with jeans, leggings, or a skirt with tights and boots. The chiffon blouse from Equipment is a classy and chic way to take this look. Pair it with the Sophia Earrings in pyrite to add some rockstar to your classic look. This See by Chloe crossbody purse is sold out at most places online, but you can find it here. It's a timeless bag that you will definitely get your money out of. Pair it with your everyday casual clothes, as well as stuff the strap into the bag and carry it as a clutch - adorable!

NYC Stone Buying Trip
Right around this time of year when the leaves are turning colors, and the air is getting cooler, Amanda is at her work bench and designing her next collection - Spring/Summer! This past weekend Amanda, and her assistant Andrea took to New York City to get some inspiration as well as search for the jewels and gems that make her collection so unique. Stones in lemon, turquoise, baby blue, chocolate and soft purples made their way back home with them in their suitcases. Amanda is now back, and hard at work designing a gorgeous collection that we can't wait to debut for you guys in January. Keep on the lookout for some sneak peaks!
