Wine and Jewelry Fun on May 15th

We had another wonderful monthly wine and jewelry night yesterday! Thanks for joining us. Mark your calendars for the next one on Wednesday, June 12th. Congratulations to Nellie, Gedeon, and Lei who won the jewelry raffle.

Mother’s Day Wrap-Up

For our first Mother’s Day in the store, we decided to make it a family affair. We served coffee, mimosas, cupcakes, and cookies and encouraged the dads to help their kids make jewelry for moms at a craft table outside. Meanwhile, moms and ladies had a moment to browse and come inside for a treat. (Yes we delivered refreshments to the dads outside too….)  Katie’s children, Sophie and Liam, helped decorate the store, serve the customers, and Sophie and Lola (daughter of KTcollection’s Ann Marie) helped manage the craft table and gave out lollipops. We loved meeting so many wonderful families and the impromptu gathering that spilled into the sidewalk. Thank you to all who made KTcollection part of such a special day.

And a special congratulations to Eliza who won our jewelry raffle!

Accessorizing Spring’s Hottest Trends

Spring 2013 Trend: Sexy Cutouts

Peekaboo!  It may be a passing fad, but we’ll embrace it this season. Go bold with eye-catching colorful pieces or keep it soft and feminine with a subtle surprise. This craze may not last so choose jewelry that will!

Spring 2013 Trend: Black and White

You can skip pastels this spring and combine your basics to be au moment on  this trend. Gold and silver look great on black and white, but black statement pieces take these classic tops to trendy!

Spring 2013 Trend: Embellishment

We fall in love with India every spring and summer, but this season embroidery has an updated sophistication. Bold accessories complement embellished pieces–but be careful to choose jewelry that doesn’t compete.

Spring 2013 Trend: Nautical Stripes

Breeze into summer with this casual trend. A delicate and layered look can be good if the stripes are worn on the bottom. A striped tee can be accessorized with just about anything. Pearls always work. We also like big pieces and pops of contrasting color to dress it up.

Spring 2013 Trend: Floral Prints and Bright Colors…

Blooms are always celebrated in spring, but we dare you to balance this cute and feminine look with some edgy jewelry for a hint of a rock-n-roll look.

Kicking off the Wedding Season With a Feature on Merci New York

wedding-nyc-designer-loft-dressWe are officially entering wedding season! What a great way to start this busy time of year with a feature in Merci New York. Photographer and art director Jessica Schmitt had a modern vision for her brides, and she found us while seeking out contemporary jewelry.

We helped her choose pieces that are a bit more interesting than your standard strand of pearls.

wedding-nyc-empire-state-buildingOur Gold Drop Earrings  are simple and elegant. They can be worn for any occasion and in this case they are beautiful on this bride. Schmitt envisioned them as part of a larger theme, which makes them even more special.

“The paint brush stroke design was incorporated through the custom made table runner and all paper products…Even the brides earrings look like a drop of paint.”

Jessica-Schmitt-compliationShe also featured the Stacking Gold Bangles, Nugget Necklaces, Amethyst Oval Drops, Large Hammered Cuffs, the Crystal and Pearl Collar, and a Faceted Gem on Beaded Chain.

We also introduced our Pre-Spring Sale. Save 25% on our soft and warm cashmere scarves and fingerless gloves in the shop and online through March 20th, the first day of Spring.

Our Annual Staff Christmas Party…..in February!

We celebrate the holidays at KTcollection in February! The team is so busy in November and December that we don’t have the time to get together for a little fun. This year, we decided to celebrate in our new store. It proved to be the perfect venue for a feast and wine-tasting.  Zoubir was thrilled to be able to share Languedoc Roussilln wines from his new company 3Comperes. Vietnamese food was from UWS best-kept secret Saiguette and cupcakes from Tonnie’s Minis. What a great night!

For those who don’t work for KTcollection, the party is this Wednesday, March 6th. We look forward to hosting all of you at our next monthly Wine and Jewelry Wednesday. See you there! 5:30-7:30 pm.

Get the Look: Jewelry at the 2013 Oscars

backless-necklaces-for-oscars

We never miss the Oscars and our eyes are always on the jewelry. Our favorite look this year was the down-the-back necklace. We have donned this look for years with our lariats. It is such a great way to accessorize a backless number. Both Best Actress, Jennifer Lawrence, and Best Supporting Actress, Anne Hathaway, pulled off this chic look well.  Lariats also come in gold or with loop pendants.

A timeless Hollywood staple, big diamond studs were everywhere. They were most notable on Jessica Chastain, Reese Witherspoon, and Adele, Best Soundtrack winner. Our new Starlet Rhinestone Studs offer this glamorous look for only $25.
At that price, you can even get a pair in both silver and gold. Beat that, Harry Winston…

Former Oscar winner, Octavia Spencer, wore some fabulous diamond dangles that were the perfect bold accessory to her otherwise soft and feminine dress. The sparkly Gold River Earrings emulate this look. We also like them because they even look great with casual clothes. They also come in a silver and a gun metal tone.
