Park Slope's Cog and Pearl (my number one spot for successful finds)




Something about scissors translates to cunning and clever for me, buuuuut should you not run when wearing this charm (wink)?

Erica Weiner, you are wonderful! Nice work.

Iconic imagery is interesting and playful, almost mythical. 
It seems to communicate an inner secret that the wearer has in relation to the image.
It's like "I have a secret about beeeeeees and grasshoppers that I keep all to myself."

The copper petina is like expedited vintage. Dig it.







Vintage camera charm...vintage cameras are cute, but what are we paying homage to really?
An appreciation for yesteryear, a love for analog? Both.
I bet old typewriters, phonographs, and record players would do well here too. Me likey.

We are not special. We are not unique snowflakes. We do not wear giant green hats.

Oh gosh golly, my copper enamel earring adoration always strikes up conversations with the crafty ones. <3 


This appears to be a gem stone on a fiber rope.  It's a cute contradiction that seems to state, "I love the finer things in life, but I'll never pass on a PBR.".

Wowzers. Elsa Pereti is thinking, hmm, maybe I should stop designing for Tiffany's and go to Cog and Pearl. 


 Dog sculpture made of out old cookie tins and vintage oven handles. 

More animal imagery. The deer in headlights is my personal fav.

Starfish. If we can hold on to the vestige a our whimsical golden age from our past, I'd say starfish and seahorses will help.

These treasure boxes are copper and open to reveal a red velvet-lined box.
Something you love but would never buy for yourself.
Which is why, it's the perrrrfect gift.


These are sweet. I like wearing map imagery too.
It's a nice reminder that no matter where you are, you are always with yourself.
 Follow the intuition of your heart, and you won't get lost.

If this jewelry could talk it would say, "I follow my dreams, but I still keep my day job.".



Like most of the pieces in Cog and Pearl, these are especially enchanting and whimsical, but with hearty elegance.

Yours truly.
