It is always a fond mark in time for us when we get the opportunity to extend our greetings for the season to all of you. It is a time that we cherish for so many reasons, and we know each of you have your own personal traditions, rituals, and memories that contribute to your unique spirit of the holidays.

This year has been a special one for us. We’ve tasked ourselves with reinventing some of our forged classics with contemporary twists, as well as focusing on your requests for several custom items. It’s been a year for prioritizing quality pieces that are made well and have personal significance to the person wearing them or gifting them to someone they love.
It’s also been a year for us to hone in on what it means to be a “local jeweler.” For us, that means continuing with craftsmanship that happens right here in our studio, using sustainable, recycled materials. It has also meant a focus on strengthening our collaborations with other local designers. Doing so has not only expanded our ability to offer a fuller range of custom jewelry, but allowed us to delight in the talents of others who share the same passion for thoughtful craftsmanship and bespoke pieces.

Being a local jeweler also means we get to create specialized pieces that reflect our own unique surroundings here in Maine. Our Cribstone Collection has been an ideal example of that; the collection pays homage to one of our area’s historic gems and the pieces have become sought after by local residents and tourists alike. It has been a beautiful reminder that art, history, and place are intricately intertwined.

We hope that this year has brought you all a new or strengthened focus on who you are and who you want to be in the world. For us, this opportunity for reflection is one of the great joys in the closure of one year and the welcoming in of another.
Happy Holidays,
-Keith
