In the Works - Rose Gold

I have become completely smitten with rose gold.

Above are three NEW rings, though only one is currently available in the shop.

Clockwise from the top: 1. Hot pink agate druzy two (2) finger ring.  2. Tangerine quartz double (2) finger ring. 3. Found shell & crystal quartz ring.  All are crafted with 14 karat (gold-filled) rose gold.

Did you know? Gold filled is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to brass or copper. It contains more gold than gold-plated or vermeil and is far more durable. It is tarnish resistant and will not wear off or discolor the skin. 

What are your thoughts on rose gold?

Would like to see us expand the collection?

With the sky-rocketing prices of precious metals, how do you feel about gold-filled jewelry?

Are you willing to pay a little bit more for a gold-filled piece versus a piece crafted with silver or gold plated wire?

Please share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.  I look forward to hearing from you...

Local News

I've been a bit lax in keeping you guys updated, partly because I've been (and am) inundated with custom work and partly because I really only write - even something as simple as an update - when I'm inspired.   

With that, in case you missed the tweets, here are links to two recent Long Island write-ups from the past month or so.  Although it may not seem like a big deal from the outside, it is a big deal to us.  MerCurios has been included in numerous International Fashion Magazines and Blogs, local press it seems, is not as easy come by. 

First, MerCurios was on page 24 of the Memorial Day Weekend issue of The Independent.  "Just A Little Goth" is the title of the article.  It was so much fun being interviewed by the editor.  The conversation flowed like I was catching up with an old friend.  You can read the story here, just be sure to click to page 24.

Shortly there after, MerCurios was featured in Clothes Line - a Fashion Blog off shoot of Long Island Press Newspaper.  This story has a completely different vibe.  Feel free to check it out here.
