Wedding Planning Update

I thought sharing our new bridal jewels would be a good excuse to give a wedding planning update! Things are coming along, slowly! Patrick and I have began reaching out to wedding planners and potential photographers first. We would love to start things off with a Summer trip to New Orleans to meet with planners and see who we find a good fit with, especially since we will be getting very close with this person and their team over the next year or so. 

Next, and what I'm most excited about, is taking a trip back to our old home; Manhattan. There's a lot to accomplish in the city like meeting with a photographer who I've followed for years for an engagement photo session, visiting a few bridal salons I have bookmarked and celebrating with old friends. In the meantime, we are trying to plan a little engagement picnic party here in San Francisco or wine country.

Vintage Printed Scarves

We launched a brand new category this past season at Sweet & Spark inspired by our second most loved vintage accessory: scarves! Similar to our jewels, we hand select designs that are timeless, feminine and still feel modern. We keep our eye out especially for anything pink and floral when it comes to prints. Among our flowery scarf collection, we also have a selection of designer scarves from Emilio Pucci, Oscar de la Renta, Liberty of London, Gucci and more.

Behind the Cartier Love Bracelet

The Cartier LOVE bracelet is an iconic staple today, but you might not know the story behind the most sought after piece of jewelry. In 1970, Cartier designer Aldo Cipullo partnered with Charles Revson, the founder of Revlon Cosmetics, to create a special edition LOVE bracelet. This early version was 18K gold plated while today's bracelets are solid gold. The company gifted bracelets to famous couples of the time like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, creating an early celebrity culture around the LOVE bracelet.

After Jillian and I decided we wanted to start offering the LOVE bracelet from the 1970's in our Vintage Designer Jewelry collection, we began the task of tracking down a few styles from estates and refurbishing them. These pretties photographed above sold fast, but we are busy finding more!
