Yearly Archives: 2020

Hi everyone………I hope you all enjoyed my latest “LIVE FACE BOOK PRESENTATION WITH LOUIS” from NYC. If you missed it or couldn’t watch the whole thing you can always catch it on face book or right here on my website……………….MOVIES……This past Thursday night I went to see “LITTLE WOMEN”, and last night I went to see “1917” WOW. Two movies that couldn’t be more opposite, yet in a strange way similar. I guess it was the struggle and adversity of life……….”Little Women” was a wonderful retelling of a classic. I have seen every version and the original with Kathrine Hepburn had always been my favorite…….until now. First, it was a beautiful movie to watch. The locations, the sets with their incredible authentic detail down to the drying hanging flowers in the attic, the furnishings, and even the wall paper was a feast for the eyes. I loved their home……..The costumes were fabulous. I would think they were Oscar nominated. I went with Cathy, the lady I work with on the jewelry,and our only criticism we had was the lack of a soaring score, which this movie should have had. After just seeing the movie we couldn’t even remember the music at all…..only the few times the piano was being played. Other than that it’s a must see movie.

“1917” a WW1 tale…….Talk about authenticity! The scenes in the trenches were incredible. You really got to understand what it was like………The two main actors were not familiar to me, but more than carried this fabulous movie. The cinematography was spellbinding…..certainly Oscar worthy. For me a tough call between the two movies………My one and only disappointment was there were NO TRENCH COATS!!!!!! LOL

These are two movies to see before the OSCARS!………………enjoy……………much Love…………………….Louis

…………………….The MAASAI NECKLACE, J477427, and EARRING, J477425 are back……but I suspect not for long…………If you love the look of the EXOTIC….HAND MADE craftsmanship then these pieces are for you…….These pieces are ALL HAND MADE and are truly magnificent. Jewelry like this is rare to come by unless you are planning a trip to Africa…..and even then you won’t find anything better…………….I do realize that for many of you this may be out of your comfort zone…..so what……try something exciting….live it up……..I am sure the people around you will do nothing but compliment you, and look at you through different eyes…..As you can see above….on a simple white tank or a tee shirt, the white safari shirt or any white cotton button down, and white pants, crops, Capris or jeans it will add so much excitement to a simple outfit…….It is all surprising light weight…..If you are still not sure I invite you to read the reviews……….Don’t wait to long. The first time I introduced them they all sold out in a nano second, and were all reordered…..The wrap cuff sold out immediately, was reordered and sold out again and again…It will not be back…..These Maasai pieces are instant collectors items……..I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO REORDER THEM after these are gone……I want to keep them special and very LIMITED! Don’t let them slip away from you……You will be sorry……………………………………………………enjoy………………………much Love…………………………..Louis

……………………..Above, is a marvelous book called……..”THE SHELL” by Hugh and Marguerite Stix, and R. Tucker Abbott….photography by H. Landshoff………It is truly amazing and has been a source of inspiration for me for many many years…….”Sea Shells have enchanted mankind, apparently, as far back as human records go. Small wonder that people have always found pleasure in owning them, and artists and craftsmen have incorporated them in everything ranging from massive architecture to personal jewelry. Today the passion for shell collecting is greater than ever, and all over the world the fraternity of shell collectors grows.” ……Sea shells are a very special and unique gift of nature…..Shells have been used in every way possible, and for centuries have even been used as musical instruments…..They appear in some of the most famous paintings ever done by some of the most renown artists…like Rubens and Botticelli…to name just two. I too have collected shells over the years, and above are two glass bowls filled with my beautiful shells………For this Spring /Summer I will be bringing to you a great variety of “shell” jewelry……The first is the “TIGER COWIE” necklace which is avail. now……………….enjoy………………………..much Love……………………….Louis

………The TIGER COWIE SHELL NECKLACE is a beautiful gift from nature. It looks fabulous with ivory, tans, natural linen and flax as well as all shades of browns….from latte, to mocha to chocolate to walnut and espresso………It’s also a wonderful accent to many colors like pinks, tangerines, lime, aqua etc etc………………..enjoy…………….much Love………………..Louis

……………………….I am a lover of shells….all kinds of shells. I used to collect them taking walks on the Florida beaches with my Mother. We had wonderful long talks. I miss those times with just her and me, but I do have my memories…………….I am a collector, but not like some who have them mounted, and in lucite cases hanging on the wall. Mine are just kept in glass bowls around the house  so I can look at them up close…..pick them up and feel them……..Shells in general have had a strong presence on the fashion runways. For Spring 2020 Prada showed huge real shell necklaces…most of them chokers…..This is the first time I am using shells for Linea….REAL SHELLS, and I’m so happy I can bring these exceptional pieces to you…….The necklace above is called the “TIGER COWIE SHELL NECKLACE”, which is the name of the shell…….There are two sizes of the Cowie shell being used. The six smaller shells are RIMED IN GOLD. Then at the bottom is the single larger shell…………..They are dangling from a beautiful chain………….Remember, these are REAL SHELLS, so each shell will be different therefore each necklace slightly different………This Spring /Summer I will have touches of CHOCOLATE and ESPRESSO such as the chocolate top to the right which has been reordered. The TIGER COWIE SHELL necklace will add just the right touch. I will show the “CLASSIC GOLD HOOP”……for me a must have…………………………………………….enjoy……………………much Love………………………..Louis
