inspiration tuesday: starfish

I fell in love with starfish on a snorkeling trip to the great barrier reef about 14 years ago. so naturally I had to make sure I incorporated starfish into my summer collection. my montauk earrings and amagansett necklaces include carved gemstone starfish for a whimsical look. here is some inspiration behind the pieces:

permanent summer collection

a few years ago I made a few necklaces with coral and gemstone starfish and they were such a success that I decided to make them part of a permanent summer collection. the designs are inspired by childhood summers in rhode island and cape cod, and recent summers in the hamptons and nantucket, where most days were spend playing in the ocean. these preppy statement necklaces are perfect for an afternoon by the pool, cocktails on the beach, or a clambake.
