2007-2008 has been a time of change for Wexford Jewelers. Not only have we completely revamped our landscaping, we just painted our building! We’ve stared at mottled orange & brown brick for so long, the soft gray structure sitting at the corner of Mitchell & River Streets is almost unrecognizable!

Add to that new paint inside, new concrete sidewalks (at least on two sides of the building), a new design studio inside, a new and huge repair/finishing shop, this new and awesome website, and this place seems suddenly like a lovely chrysalis, a shining butterfly emerging from a dusty cocoon.

I will post photos later of the new paint job/garden/sidewalk. The painters are not quite done as of this morning, so I want to put pics up when its at its best!

Meanwhile, here are some of our latest designs for you to peruse:

What you see above is the result of over-caffeinated inspiration. I almost pity my sister Emily, who had to set all those tiny lil stones once I cut the pilot holes. But she had a big grin on her face while she applied that texture, so I know it wasn’t all painful!

Here we have a knuckleduster in spectralite. Spectralite is the unsung hero version of labradorite, a lovely shimmery gemstone with the rainbow inside of it. This stone had mysterious shades of orange inside the blue, so we set orange and blue sapphires beside it as accents. Although the internet pictures can never give it full credit, this stone has incredible chatoyancy, flashing different colors as you roll it. I don’t know why people bother to make fake stones when there are so many gorgeous real ones…

Citrine in yellow gold is always nice, add a vivid red-orange sapphire for accent color, and you have warmth and excitement. This ring has that all going for it, as well as a treasure box diamond tucked away in the side for good luck.

Our men’s collection is growing, and we promise we will build a category just for these rings on the website very soon! Meanwhile, be inspired by this glossy, gorgeous ring with a bold diamond accent. I know most of you guys are more or less allergic to diamonds in your rings, but we figured that if we put them in sideways and subtle, maybe it wouldn’t hurt so much!

Last but not least, welcome our first Fairy to a soon-to-be-growing Mythology collection. While this one is cast in sterling silver with diamond accents and mirror finish, this Fairy is available in different metals, with or without stones, and with an antiqued, satin, or sandblasted finish to show of the undulating curves.

We love jewelry. We obsess about it, dream about it, talk about it when we should be enjoying other aspects of life. But it takes an obsession to make it worthwhile, and we think that shows in every tiny detail that we put into our jewelry.

Your jewelry.
