New Button on an Old Dress

My favorite stylish gal recommended a larger stone for the Twig. And because I'm such a people pleaser, I made it so. It sits at Catbird, of course.

Yellow, Rose & White Gold

Picture taken in natural light so you can see those pretty colors.

Way to recycle!

Not that we're implying some other use for the adorable alien baggie... Sometimes we get very cute things in the mail from our Bittersweeties. In this case, it was a letter ring, in desperate need of repair. Which reminds me, if you have a letter ring that needs repair, email us! We can fix it up, or if it's worn too thin, even replace it for you for free. How's that for use & re-use?

Curves are in...

Working on a Marquise Twig that fits with our Brilliant. Seen here with Black Onyx.

Great photos from December Bittersweeties...

I can't believe how fast I got the ring. Of course, it's beautiful. I've attached an image to show. :)

Love love love it!

Cheers,
Nina




I love the ring, she loves the ring, and I
couldn't imagine a better ring experience. Chances are that we'll be
coming back to you for our wedding bands, too.

Cheers,

Insanely amazing!!!
I'm totally speechless these are some serious beauties! -Carla

Another Baby Bittersweets...

sent to us through the computer! Tights and shoes are to kill for, she is so stylish already. Hi sweet Simone!

New Site, New Cuff Links...

We are launching a new site and one of our brand new items was inspired by a lovely gal who requested these for the best man at her wedding. But I'll let her tell you:

I feel you should know the story behind The Best Day Ever. :) The Best Day Ever is a manifesto that my Man of H, Jeremy, and I made up when we were studying abroad in college. It came about when we decided to go out on an adventure even though we had a ton of work to do. We ended up having the Best Day Ever full of relaxation, delicious food, amazing conversation, and tons of laughing AND the best part was, all our work ended up getting done in the end. The lesson was, the work will always get done and you cannot let the the stresses of life stop you from enjoying the little things. Whenever one of us is stressing out about something or overwhelmed we remind the other one about the B.D.E. We remind each other to breathe know that if you take time to let the good stuff in, it all works out and you can transform a bad/busy/stressed day into something amazing. He will be so happy when he gets this gift not only cuz the cuff links are beautiful, but because it is allowing our little well-loved manifesto to get passed on to someone new.

I know ALL of my wedding party will love the gifts you made and I am so excited to get to give them...and a tiny bit jealous that they get such rockin' jewelry :) Thanks so much for everything! It's been awesome working with you!

All the best things and many, many best days ever to you,

Favorite November Email!

Robin!
There aren't words to describe how much Mr. Z. loved his heart. It really worked out perfectly - in terms of timing and the gorgeous necklace itself. This piece of jewelry will be cherished for a very long time.
Your work is amazingly heart felt - no pun intended!
Thank you!
Erin

Adorable Baby Bittersweets- Scarlett & Oona!

Oona and Scarlett are buddies. We're not exactly sure what they're saying in between bottle breaks, but we could have sworn they were going over favorite bands and where to get a good pedi.

First person to post in comments, the town that Michael Myers is from, gets to pick out their size of baby vamp rings. Remember, you can also split the pair with a pal and choose two different ring sizes! xoxo robin

Renegade Winner!

We had an amazing raffle at the Renegade Fair this summer and Bunnysweets finally got around to picking the winner. He's really getting so lazy. Poor buns, he's too hot.

Ruby!

When we met Ruby, the most darling pink faced pooch ever... we just had to add her to our list of mascots; Ferdinand aka Bunnysweets, Lazy, Oliver & Teepee. And what a perfect name for a jewelry maascot! Thanks for the photo Monika!

Bittersweet Graduation!

I got the necklace yesterday morning and gave it to my sister as a graduation gift! She absolutely loved it - and it really turned out so beautifully - I was tempted to keep it for myself! I gave out your contact information to a few admirers as well! Hope I'll be placing an order for a necklace myself soon!

Thanks again!

Take a left at Venus...

My little Venus Fly Trap blossomed this week. Imagine my surprise to see a lone stalk shoot from a small carnivorous jungle. He's lived on my workbench for about a year. On an unrelated note, Ronnie James Dio passed yesterday. Dedicating our flower pic to Dio and his family.

Congratulations Park!

Our lovely gal Park graduates PRATT's prestigious jewelry program and she's on to RISD!

Beautiful Mama Bear!

Meadow is my favorite Bittersweets model. This lady is not only beautiful inside and out, she makes a mean spanakopita. She's holding Joanna Newsom tickets close to her heart and if that's not a perfect night, then I just don't know what is! love, r

Bittersweets Wedding Bands for Men!

Our current collections of wedding bands are the Bittersweets response to calls for simple, modern-classic bands. Didn't your mother always tell you what's Bittersweets for the goose is Bittersweets for the gander?

We so loved watching ladies slip their Letter Ring Royales on their left ring finger for the very first time, that we decided to make a wider version of this ultra slim band for guitar-playing gentlemen far and wide.

The resulting Thin Line collection is available in 4 widths, 3 colors of gold, and 4 finishes, so you can choose your ring like you chose your love. A wide range of personalization is available - letters, numbers and symbols.

The Cowboy collection is a bold choice for the bold couple who desires a substantial and weighty band. Each ring is carved from wax and lost in the casting process, resulting in a one-of-a-kind wedding band. Matte and shiny finishes accentuate beautifully faceted and hammered texture.

Finally, we have the Gatsby Collection. All of your bands in these two collections are carved out of wax, according to your size and specifications. The Gatsby offers your choice of matte or shiny finish on an elegantly carved ring, boasting a sleek line befitting Mr. Fitzgerald's gorgeously fallen heroes & heroines.

We Have a Fantastic New Website!

If you're reading this blog, there's a good chance that you've already noticed that the bittersweets website has been relaunched with a new, easier to use design, new images and new products! We also added a new category to the online shop - Wedding! A few months ago we released the Twig wedding ring collection and we received such an amazing response to it that we wanted branch out further in this new direction. We've added men's wedding bands, special bridesmaid present discounts, a simple yet luxurious necklace for the big day and more to come soon, including pieces for the mother-of-the-bride and new ring designs.

Since the site is so new, you may experience some kinks, though hopefully not. If you have any issues with it, please send an email to info@bittersweetsny.com so we can resolve the problem. We're very proud of the site and hope you like it.

My Bittersweet Valentine!

For Valentine's Day this year, we are introducing *five* new pieces!

The dainty heart necklace
The dainty heart bracelet
The teensy heart ring
The garnet heart & dagger
The garnet half-a-heart necklace

And here's the best part - they are all on sale through Valentine's Day!
We're also putting a few other romantic favorites on sale for the holiday - the entire Heart & Arrow Collection and Cupid & Psyche Necklace. For those of you with a sweetie pie, slip them a link to the item of your dreams, and for those of you spending the holiday alone, treat yourself to something shiny and tell everyone it's from your secret admirer!

Hello! This is Caroline, Robin's Assistant. I found this photo of me at my friend's wedding and I wanted to share with you my favorite bittersweets piece - the gold hoop earrings. See how delicate they are? You can hardly feel them, but whenever I wear them, I get sooo many compliments.

Kittens need home!

They love each other and sleep Yin/Yang style. They live in the Philadelphia area, but will take a hovercraft to NYC for a loving home! Please email us to adopt these adorable kittens.
