INDULGE a jewelry event at Bellevue Art Museum

On February 5-7th 2010 INDULGE at Bellevue Art Museum took place. This was strictly a jewelry affair with 30 international jewelry designers showcased all weekend long. I premiered 2 new lines, one that utilizes vintage components with a modern twist and the second is strictly sterling silver where as I designed several unique charms.

The show was a great success and all thanks to my lovely friends and family of whom helped me get a beautiful booth together and as always support me tremendously. A special thanks to my sister, Gigi who assisted me all weekend at the show and my beloved husband who always has my side. Of course there is a long list of people and each of them deserve proper props...THANK YOU ALL, family, friends and patrons!

Cheers to a New Year and an Event that Cannot be Missed!

The first weekend of February at Bellevue Art Museum I will be amongst 29 other national jewelers being showcased. INDULGE a jewelry only event is February 5-7th with booth upon booth of beautiful adornments for the unique. Of which you cannot deny you are, or need to re-visit the need to be-



A want to give a great, big, proud shout out to all that were invited to participate! Especially my Seattle friends who are incredible designers and I know will be showing amazing work.



So now off to the races to complete the collection, gather my promotional materials and create a mind blowing booth. So many ideas and so little time to get them out of my mind!

Here, Then, Now...

Another day in the trenches... Its December 17th and my season is coming to a close. It was fabulous and I thank each and every customer, sales clerk, friend and family member that helped me out this year. From nico.rich bespoke jewelry; CHEERS!

I decided to create a small post in dedication to someone that truly has been by my side through the past 6 years of my partnership in the jewelry industry to my launch as a sole proprietor. Jericho my adoring husband. Today is our 4year anniversary of marriage and I cannot be more proud of that fact than the fact that I am in love with him completely and yes, utterly. You say these nauseating words when it is nothing other than true. Meaning there is no other way to express your deep feelings and astute thoughts when they are pouring out of every measure of your reality. I love you Rico and thank you-

With that on the table, lets dress it also with "you create what you are". Being married to someone I always admire makes me a better and more grounded person. I build on my best qualities and reach for my brightest opportunities. With designing and creating jewelry I always produce my best work when it comes from me, what is boiling up inside me, blossoming inside me, turning inside me. It sounds so obvious but it can be hard to harness. It takes a dedicated focus that you possess even when you look away; or walk a different plain for awhile. You have to re-visit that dedication process and re-evaluate its foundation to control its immensity. It is a grand and wonderful thing that allows us to love, honor and create.

For 2010 my resolution is refined focus and drive. My dedication is there, my abilities are strong and I am so anxious to get started. Now relax nico, grab the wheel and watch the road...
