miaow,

Greetings from LA, plus our Nina Designs Blog Partnership!

Bonjour nos amis, from the city of angels and more….

This week we’re frolicking around Los Angeles and enjoying the west coast surf, sun and jewelry fun. As we visit our favorite shops, we’ll also be spreading the r.d.l.m. love to local boutiques and, cross your fingers and paws, hopefully lots of them!  Wish us luck and catch us up on our return to the southwest Arizona desert next week!

AND, a little something extra to feast your eyes on….

Below are the wondrous creations we put together utilizing some splendid pieces from Nina Designs!  We’re big fans of the findings as well as the silk threads, and were excited to be partner up with their blog to showcase some goodies!   We’d love to know which ones YOU like best, so comment away!

From left: VNT2232 · Natural Bronze Earring Finding, VNS2721 · Natural Bronze Small Bubble Link, VNS2526 · Natural Bronze Lotus Marquis Pendant.

 

SILKA · Thin Silk Cord for Jewelry, in aqua, works great interwoven with brass chain. We’re still working on this design, but we like where it’s heading!

 

and we saved the best, for last….

An r.d.l.m. exclusive. Authentic Thai Buddhist amulet pendant, VNS2695 · Natural Bronze Infinity Link, and VNMS100 · Natural Bronze Small Majapahit Spacer beads.

 

All in all, amazing pieces to work with that were easily incorporated into r.d.l.m. designs which will soon be available in the new online store, coming 10/1!

miaow,

Fall is en route…

and so is our new fancypants online store…

Oh oui, you heard us right.  We’re renovating the online store to create a way cooler experience for our r.d.l.m. customers!  What does this include, you sweet ones ask?  For one, we’ve chosen a brand-new and super secure shopping platform through Magento, a visually streamlined appearance with superior shopping navigation AND a greatly expanded selection of both men’s and women’s products. 

But lest you fear we’re losing our trademark feline influence, the esteemed design team here at r.d.l.m. have put their paws down, demanding their customary biography page AND the freedom to pounce around the online store in their own, distinctive ways.  Be on the lookout for their well-defined presence, as they could very well be signs of sales!

Before we sign off this week, we must take a good long minute to remember our sweet, sweet Trapper who passed away before the Labor Day weekend.  With heavy hearts and tails, we say goodbye to one of the greatest cats to ever roam the earth.  Here’s to you, Trapperkins, we love you so.

Trapper Condit, the coolest puss of all.

till next week, miaowy hugs to all,
