New rings are popping up too -- such as this "Poetic Droplet" 14K gold and blush pink crystal. We love how vintage colors meet a modern aesthetic. We'll show you how to wear and stack our Pandora rings into gorgeous flashes of color at your fingers. (Matching manicures optional!)

We're here all weekend -- stop in and see what's blooming!

World's Smallest (and Cutest) Time Capsule

All ready to be customized!

When my little boy was a newborn, he had a onesie that read, "World's Cutest Alarm Clock."

Now he and his sister have pride of place on the world's smallest, and cutest, time capsule: my beautiful NanoRosetta.

The finished product viewed via SmartPhone.

With every bounce of the light, the laser-etched hologram of the medallion dances and sparkles with color. It's a meaningful time capsule--lasting 10,000 years!--that happens to double as beautiful jewelry.

Will You Be My Nano-tine?

Since Valentine's Day last year, my "Mi Moneda" coin medallion never fails to get compliments. And when my four-year-old placed a sticker on it last week (jewelry designer in training?), the compliments began anew.

This year, I wanted in on the new NanoRosetta line. This technology preserves your photos, letters, certificates--family archives, precious memories--by etching them as holograms upon an indestructible nickel medallion.

These medallions can become pendants, rings, keychains, cufflinks, money clips, trophies...anything. Some can fit the entire Bible or works of Shakespeare on the size of a dime. And the design intricacies are fully visible on NanoRosetta's smartphone app.

When I stopped in to see Carla, she suggested that I select one of NanoRosetta's customizable Valentine's Day designs to make my own--with photos or phrases--and wear inside my Mi Moneda coin holder. What a perfect keepsake and beautiful gift...to myself!

Design selected. Now to find a photo of my kids.

Stay tuned for the finished product!

Quick: how many weeks till Valentine's Day?

Who in your family has a birthday coming up? (Sadly, you can't Google that.)
