I am thrilled to see my Clemence necklace<\/a> featured in the April issue of InStyle<\/a>! (Thank you, InStyle contributing editor Marion Fasel!) My piece is the black and white necklace on the right side of the page below.<\/p>\n

Clemence (1293 – 1328) was the second wife of King Louis X of France. In the historical novels Les Rois Maudits<\/a>, she is portrayed as a pious woman who, after the death of her husband, consoled herself with jewelry. I figured she would like a piece with two big stones in it. I designed the necklace after I designed a variety of Clemence rings:<\/p>\n

The necklace can be customized to match any of the rings. The rings themselves can be customized with the stones of your choice. All the pieces are made with a hefty amount of matte 18K yellow gold. If you’re in the market for fine jewelry, these pieces are an unusually good buy because I see that I haven’t adjusted the price to reflect the skyrocketing price of gold (now over $1,400 an ounce)<\/a>. I will have to change the price after my existing inventory sells out, so act fast.<\/p>\n

I’m also delighted to have been interviewed recently by Imogen Lamport of Inside Out Style<\/a> and Kristin Larson of msn.com<\/a>. If you write about me, don’t forget to let me know so I can tweet and Facebook you. I’ll also link to you on my blog. Interviews get linked here<\/a> and other mentions go in the Thanks for the Love column on the right side of this screen.<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: If you’re in the L.A. area, you can try on the Clemence ring with two rock crystals at Broken English<\/a>.<\/p>\n
