We are so PUMPED to announce that in July we will be making our debut with the Fragments Showroom! Sadly, we won’t be attending the Couture Show this year because we are busy little bees working on the new gold collection for Fragments, but we’ll be living vicariously through everyone’s Instagram accounts :) Don’t forget to follow us too @janetaylorjewelry for a look at the inspiration and designs behind the new collection, Rosebud!

So far, this year has been a whirlwind for Jane and I! There’s been a fair share of traveling for new projects and lots of new designs in the works. I’ve been snapping photos along the way with the intention of sharing them much sooner on the blog, but y’all know how life has a tendency to get in the way of the best laid plans. So here they are- in reverse chronological order- to give you guys a glimpse of what’s been going on “behind the scenes” with Jane Taylor Jewelry. Most recently, we  joined the Fragments showroom, and couldn’t be more excited about it! (For those not in the industry, Fragments is a jewelry powerhouse that represents some of the most talented established and up-and-coming designers out there, so we are beyond honored to become a part of the gang.) The photos go all the way back to February when we visited the Gem Shows in Tuscon, AZ, so hopefully you guys enjoy the ride via photos as much as we have these past few months. Also, where has this year gone?! Seriously people, it’s May, how did that happen?

Working with my mom, I can’t help but be especially aware of Mother’s Day! It’s a rare opportunity for us to step out of our habitual role as partners-in-jewelery-crime and just be the goofy pair that we are. Growing up with divorced parents and no siblings, my mom and I developed a wonderfully complex relationship that straddles the line between mother-daughter, sisters and friends. Having thrown the employee-employer dynamic into the mix can occasionally make for a bumpy roller-coaster, but when push comes to shove, Jane and I have an unbreakable bond and an uncanny ability to induce hysterical laughter in one another.

Jane has always been the type to frequently pick up little gifts for me, whether it’s white chocolate while she’s out food shopping or an extra pair of wool socks for my perpetually cold feet. Come Mother’s Day, I’m always excited to give her all the little goodies I’ve been secretly collecting! Even if every year, without fail, she tells me not to buy her anything, it’s too much fun seeing her eyes light up when I surprise her with something totally unexpected.

With the spirit of that joyful experience in mind, I selected some unique items from our Bubble & Squeak collection that would appeal to a range of marvelous mommas! One of the most fabulous things about the world we live in lies in people’s diversity. Creating and selling jewelry is fascinating because we are able to experience first-hand all of the different preferences people have for shapes and colors! I hope (fingers-crossed) that I was able to capture some of that diversity in my selections, but if there are any other pieces you find yourself saying, “Oh my mom would love this!,” please shot me an email at info@janetaylor.com and I would be overjoyed to help.

All my love to you and your momma,
Cleo

As a company, it’s safe to say that we are pretty color obsessed. We eagerly await all of Pantone’s various color announcements, from seasonal predictions to the grand daddy “Color of the Year” crowning. 2013′s title-holder has been announced as Emerald, a beloved hue by just about any one with a soft spot for jewelry. Pantone describes the color:

“Most often associated with brilliant, precious gemstones, the perception of Emerald is sophisticated and luxurious. Since antiquity, this luminous, magnificent hue has been the color of beauty and new life in many cultures and religions. It’s also the color of growth, renewal and prosperity – no other color conveys regeneration more than green. For centuries, many countries have chosen green to represent healing and unity.”

We love this choice of color to represent 2013 both for its emotional significance and beautiful hue!
