If you are as obsessed as we are with the fantastic, decadently looonnnnnnng Freshwater Pearl Necklace that Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the Met Gala this past Monday then we sure have a treat for you! We absolutely LOVE the very Beads of Paradise story about her colleague stringing them up for her, and of course we have a bounty of Pearls still at the shop so that you can snap them up and do the same for yourself.
The treat is that our talented staff strung up a few extra long Freshwater Pearl replicas if you want to rock them right out of the shop or package!
Retablos (also known as láminas) are small oil paintings inspired by traditional Catholic church art depicting Christ, the Virgin Mother, and revered Saints brought to life on tin, wood and occasionally copper. The practice of creating retablos began in Spain hundreds of years ago, and then traveled to the Americas and into Mexico where it was adopted and evolved into an important form of folk art. Retablo were often displayed in homes of devout believers to honor their Patron Saints and were invoked to aid and remedy any number of situations.
