Cait's Fave Five: Earrings for Every Situation

Cait's Fave Five: Earrings for Every Situation

Hi there! Dante's assistant, Cait, here! I may have met you at a show, wrapped a DPJ box with our signature dried flowers and shipped it to you, oreven had a hand in making one of your favorite DPJ pieces. If we haven't crossed paths - HELLO and I am glad our paths are crossing now.

Cait Mchale for DPJ
 

Earlier this year, I walked into Studio Colfax, an enchanting store in Denver that sells all my favorite things - art, plants, and, most importantly (to me, at least), jewelry. It was there that I first came in contact with Dante's jewelry. And after standing in silence in Studio Colfax staring in absolute awe at the Slice Studs for a potentially awkward amount of time, I knew I had to do everything in my power to work for Dante. Since the day I first saw Dante's jewelry, I have been fortunate enough to spend quite a bit more time around her beautiful earrings, necklaces, rings and arm candy. Even more fortunately, I have been able to wear those pieces proudly and feel the power each piece packs - and with that - have become familiar with the way her jewelry make the wearer feel... beautiful, confident and prepared for anything the world has to throw at them that day

An earring lover through and through, my all time favorite DPJ pieces are as follows:


1. The Dome Top Earrings (dinner with the fam... next question), 
2. EOS Hoops (happy hour with my gal pals... le duh!),
Eos Hoops
3. Chain Link Dangles (date night with my boo... check check check), 
Chain Link Dangles
4. Bolt Threader Earrings (everyday threader good with a T-Shirt and jeans OR my favorite booties and black dress... yes pls),
Bolt Threaders
5. Last, but ABSOLUTELY not least, the earring that introduced me to Dante and her jewelry, the classic Slice Studs (perfect for any moment, any place, any outfit. Trust me.)Slice Studs
XOXO,
Cait
P.S. If you aren't a ride or die earring lover like me, check out the cuffs from DPJ's newest collection, Fortuna. The first time I saw them I got chills... take that as you will, but I have a feeling they will do the same to you! 
P.S.S. And if you or someone you love prefers a more traditionally masculine look - that's easy: the Brick RingChunky Corner RingBeam Bar Studs, and the Arch Cuff  will ALL check that box.

An Artful Duo: Victoria Lora & Jamie Cernich

An Artful Duo: Victoria Lora & Jamie Cernich
...Victoria had just gotten a new camera, and we found some makeup reference on Pinterest and I threw together a look. We used the lights we had - a light-up makeup mirror and a laptop propped up on couch cushions, and just goofed around trying to be ~fashion~. We were convinced our two other roommates were going to come home and find us in the living room in the dark and wonder what the heck we were doing.  Continue reading

Jewelry Made Sustainable, Not Fast. by Kara Armstrong of The Conscious Merchant

Jewelry Made Sustainable, Not Fast. by Kara Armstrong of The Conscious Merchant
I don't know about you, but when someone says the words, "Valentine's Day" three things come to mind: jewelry, flowers, and Hallmark's logo. Three things that have plenty of room to become more sustainable. That is why we took the opportunity to meet with our friend and collaborator, Dante Perozzi, to talk about sustainability in jewelry, and why she works with metal. Continue reading

Shopping Small for the Best Kind of Ending for 2020

Shopping Small for the Best Kind of Ending for 2020

Here is a list of amazing small businesses to support this year. The fact is, that small business owners are dedicated, driven, BAD-ASSES, and they deserve to be seen and supported. They also deserve to keep their place in the market, a place that is becoming increasingly smaller and smaller, as so many small businesses bite the dust. 

When you shop small, you are directly supporting families and individuals like these who work SO hard to give you a quality product that is unique, crafted with love and attention, and that doesn’t come from a cold factory on the other side of the world or benefit the pockets of some corporation.
