Distinctive Gold Earrings For Every Day!

When we talk about a season's essentials we are obsessed with what is new, beautiful and fitting for the time of year. What we often forget to mention, is that there are also year-round essentials! A beloved piece of jewelry that will go with everything, everyday, every season. Nothing fits the bill more than a pair of simple, timeless gold earrings!

No one has said it better than Quadrum's Assistant Director:
"Like your favorite pair of jeans, a simple gold earring is a fashion staple." - Amy
How true it is that every girl should have a favorite pair of jeans and a favorite pair of gold earrings - like peas in a pod these two!
When it comes to jeans, we turn to our known and loved favorites. (Lucky us, Bloomingdale's Chestnut Hill is just down the hall!!) When it comes to the perfect gold earring, we look no further than our own cases! Shop with us!

 Annette Ferdinandsen knows how to make delicate design fulfill your daily dose of jewelry addiction! These 18K small rose petals are the perfect addition to any wardrobe. If petite and dainty is your calling, then there is no question this pair of earrings will soon be your go-to...they are simplicity at its best!

 It's true, Gabriella Kiss has too many gorgeous golden earrings to choose just one pair for every day! Full of movement and wonder, these large 18K "Deconstructed Wasp" earrings stand out for the more abstract woman who can carry something long and elegant. The idea behind these earrings is that Gabriella has dismantled the structure of a wasp and put it back together to create something unique. The earrings feature a honeycomb, a wasp body segment, and a wing. Are these unusually intriguing earrings for you?!

More than anything, a pair of gold hoops is a must-have for every jewelry box! We are including these in our fleet of options just in case you don't already own a pair. John Iversen has perfected the common gold hoop with tapered lines and lovely texture. We know you will love these as much as we do! We truly believe these are the most versatile pair of earrings you could ever own! (Psst, they also come in other sizes!)

A slightly more elaborate pair of gold earrings from Rosanne Pugliese has made the cut here, because they are absolutely stunning and still simple enough to be worn every day. Maybe you have voluminous curls that hide a smaller earring, or take on the look of simplicity with a bold and graceful touch - then these are the earrings for you!


Simple, and here to stay. Have a pair of gold earrings on hand so you can glam up in a pinch, and will last you forever! We insist on this necessity of ease!

September is for Sapphires!

September, oh beautiful September. The air is crisp, and the sun is still shining warmly - what a perfect and cherished time of year! While you are relishing in your gorgeous birthday month, amp up the preciousness with a stunning sapphire. Then you will truly be celebrating adoration all around.

Try on the celestial gift of a star sapphire. This unique stone glows and enchants. The white six point asterism that is present in this light blue stone will put stars in your eyes! Annette Ferdinandsen has so beautifully set your beloved birthstone in an 18K "cracked egg" bezel - make it yours and remember 2014's birthday forever!

This deep blue sapphire and white diamond "Candy Dome" ring by Alex Sepkus would be the ideal birthday gift for any woman seeking distinction this year. Texture, twinkle and treasure...this ring has it all!

Gabriella Kiss takes the prize for birthday whimsy! These deep blue sapphire and 18K "Gem Bug" studs are playful and perfect for every day. When in doubt, give the gift of nature!

"I try to find the most exquisite specimens and then set them with just enough gold to highlight their natural beauty" - Maria Beaulieu Well, she has certainly succeeded with this purple star sapphire! Sapphire is traditionally the birthstone for September, but here at Quadrum we love to stretch the limits of tradition, so we say make your own tradition and if you want a sapphire for your birthday that isn't blue...go for it!

The exquisite synthesis between mixed metals and gemstones is presented on this scroll band from Nathan Levy. The cabochon blue sapphires encircling the platinum and 18K band are nothing to shy away from. Big birthdays are for big jewelry statements!

Created with a most unusual and unique process, Polly Wales crafts one of a kind pieces of jewelry every time! This ombre blue sapphire "Crystal" ring is begging for an occasion as personal as a birthday to join your jewelry collection. Raw, unconventional beauty meets wearable sculpture - what could be better?!

For those of you who love white gold, never fear, there are many sapphire options for you as well! Reinstein/Ross and Barbara Heinrich show us how stunning of a combination sapphires and 18K white gold can be.

Whether you love blue, pink or yellow sapphires...yellow gold or white, Quadrum has your optimal birthday gift waiting in our cases. Let us assist you in finding what strikes you, and just must go home with you. Start your birthday month off with a sparkle!

Jewelry to Fall for...a Preview of the Season!

Now that fall is quickly approaching, we wanted to give you a quick Instagram snapshot documenting a few of our favorite pieces for the upcoming season. Fall is the time for rustic elegance.
So... Enjoy. Swoon. Indulge. (We sure do!)

Reinstein/Ross' signature 22K gold and sapphire briolette earrings

We literally LOVE everything that Reinstein/Ross handcrafts every day of the year, but these Vine Earrings are particularly appropriate for fall! The cascading gemstones are an ombre of solid color, the warm 22K gold, and the layers upon layers of elegant intricacies are just what we crave this time of year.

We could mix and match all day (come play with us!), so here are three images of a recent favorite bangle stacking combination.
From top to bottom we have Gabriella Kiss, Pat Flynn, and Todd Pownell.
Now imagine these three bracelets, all in a pretty little stack on your arm...

This 18K pave diamond snake bangle from Gabriella Kiss is the perfect beginning of a beautiful bracelet stack

Pat Flynn's full diamond sprinkle nail bracelet acts as the center complement to a dreamy stack of bangles

And to top it all off, Todd Pownell's inverted black diamond fissure bracelet takes this stack over the edge

Cocktail parties + Arm parties = Fall fabulousness extraordinaire!
They are made for each other, and we love it all!
Show 'em what you've got! Still wearing your summer tan, exposing your killer jewelry collection...stack 'em up this season!
All together these make for a pretty fabulous array...wouldn't you say?!
As promised, that was our (very) mini snapshot of what our fall is looking like so far!
We of course have diamonds for days, and so much more, but the season is young so we must pace ourselves. ;)
Visit the gallery and liven up your collection, or just show us what you've got!
We love seeing what you come up with for layering and mixing designers - we get inspired too!

Now get out there to soak up the rest of summer, and start prepping your closet for autumn!

Happy Birthday August!

August is here! Some say these are the dog days of summer, we say they are the sparkly days of summer swank! You lucky August ladies get to celebrate your month with the rich green shades of peridot. We LOVE this stone for its beautiful bright color, and also its mystery.  This is a stone that is formed deep within the earth and brought to the surface by volcanoes. It just doesn't get much cooler than that! So celebrate your birthday month with a lively new piece of peridot jewelry - what's not to love?!

Anne Sportun's peridot wrap bracelet is a fun, light way to wear your birth stone around day or night! This bracelet can also be worn long as a necklace...imagine the possibilities!

Unique. Everyday. Sweet. Gabriella Kiss chooses stones like no other - make this inverted peridot stack ring your extra special birthday present! (Psst, it would look totally fabulous stacked with this next peridot ring by Gabriella for twice the birthday fun!)

Gabriella Kiss' signature scalloped bezel showcases this bright peridot cabochon like a spotlight! We are in total awe of this stone with its beaming color and fascinating natural inclusions. Make every day your birthday with this ring!!

Why not jazz it up this birthday with a mix of other stones?! There is no better way to do this than with  Reinstein/Ross' hoop and drop design. Just choose the style hoops you love and start mixing and matching stone drops to liven up a simple earring of sophisticated proportions. We just adore this combination of large faceted blue topaz, pink freshwater pearl and peridot rondelles. (Also available in 22K yellow or apricot gold!) Create your own myriad of gorgeous stone arrangements!

Talk about mixing and matching stones...this Mixed Bead Wrap necklace by Rosanne Pugliese is the ultimate summer necklace! Turquoise, iolite and peridot all in one! What else could a birthday girl ask for?! This handmade necklace is a sure way to celebrate your birthday in quintessential summer style!

"Peridot is said to host magical powers and healing properties and bring the wearer power, influence, and a wonderful year." -American Gem Society
Happy Birthday August!

Peridot is said to host magical powers and healing properties to protect against nightmares and to bring the wearer power, influence, and a wonderful year.  As peridot is a gemstone that forms deep inside the Earth and brought to the surface by volcanoes, in Hawaii, peridot symbolizes the tears of Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes.  Today, most of the peridot supply comes from Arizona; other sources are China, Myanmar, and Pakistan.  This gemstone comes in several color variations ranging from yellowish green to brown, but most consumers are attracted to the bright lime greens and olive greens.  Peridot, in smaller sizes, often is used in beaded necklaces and bracelets. - See more at: http://www.americangemsociety.org/august-birthstones#sthash.I0xxCkI5.dpuf
