Fashion Through a Falling Season

2010-10-17T12:17:00.001-07:00

As the fashion magazines are a buzz with the latest looks and appeals an exuberance of interest is created as to what is the style that makes up this seasons image and thus your fall fashion LOOK. Fall 2010 is shaping up to be a beautiful array of cashmere's, camouflag, leopard, floral and geometric prints with capes, high over the knee boots and my favorite... accessories. Everything form chunky jewelry to subtle pieces for daily wear thrown together with overweight scarves and/or hats. nico.rich. is starting the season off with warm classy pieces for the bold to subtle fashionista. Stay tuned for the up and coming looks that will make up Novembers and into Decembers flare.

A Delightful Summer of Nuptial Bliss and Beautiful Jewelry to Go With...

Sticky Shown Shoulders

2010-05-11T11:58:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to the long summer days and looming clear night skies. Summer is a season to prepare for but not like winter. In winter preperation you battle the weather and daylight but Summer is more of a self indulgence preparation. Pulling out the lighter clothes from the depths of the closet, planning camping trips, responding to wedding invites, BBQ's and...

well of course brighter and bigger jewelry:)

...stay tuned for more pics- nico.rich

Moment by Moment...

2010-03-02T13:01:00.000-08:00

As Winter starts to shut her weary eyes and Spring is awakened; moment by moment everything seems to change. A light is turned on in all of us as we see the changing of the seasonal guard in nature. The closing of the dark months and the idea of longer days and less clothes sparks an eager and impatient palette on our lives.

This is always the time I look at the months ahead and ideas of far away travels stew. This is also the time that wedding invites and save the dates appear making some travel choices for you. In the next 6 months I need to visit 3 countries and around 4-5 states, attend 7 weddings and host several trunk shows. All of which are for pleasure for I love my job, my friends and my family. Stay tuned for details...

The phrase you should always live in the moment can be riddled with impossibility. I look to the moment for guidance for my future thoughts and wants. I thus live in the future, I have too. When you own your own business you look to the next month constantly for it is upon you financially. This is the norm for all of us proprietors and it is what will keep you sane and in business. The other thing is to ALWAYS HIRE SOMEONE TO DO YOUR TAXES! Moments are fleeting but the ones spent doing such awful tasks as taxes...those moments take forever.

Happy Spring:)

INDULGE a jewelry event at Bellevue Art Museum

2010-02-09T17:21:00.000-08:00

On February 5-7th 2010 INDULGE at Bellevue Art Museum took place. This was strictly a jewelry affair with 30 international jewelry designers showcased all weekend long. I premiered 2 new lines, one that utilizes vintage components with a modern twist and the second is strictly sterling silver where as I designed several unique charms.

The show was a great success and all thanks to my lovely friends and family of whom helped me get a beautiful booth together and as always support me tremendously. A special thanks to my sister, Gigi who assisted me all weekend at the show and my beloved husband who always has my side. Of course there is a long list of people and each of them deserve proper props...THANK YOU ALL, family, friends and patrons!

Cheers to a New Year and an Event that Cannot be Missed!

2010-01-04T14:10:00.000-08:00

The first weekend of February at Bellevue Art Museum I will be amongst 29 other national jewelers being showcased. INDULGE a jewelry only event is February 5-7th with booth upon booth of beautiful adornments for the unique. Of which you cannot deny you are, or need to re-visit the need to be-

A want to give a great, big, proud shout out to all that were invited to participate! Especially my Seattle friends who are incredible designers and I know will be showing amazing work.

So now off to the races to complete the collection, gather my promotional materials and create a mind blowing booth. So many ideas and so little time to get them out of my mind!

Here, Then, Now...

Another day in the trenches... Its December 17th and my season is coming to a close. It was fabulous and I thank each and every customer, sales clerk, friend and family member that helped me out this year. From nico.rich bespoke jewelry; CHEERS!

I decided to create a small post in dedication to someone that truly has been by my side through the past 6 years of my partnership in the jewelry industry to my launch as a sole proprietor. Jericho my adoring husband. Today is our 4year anniversary of marriage and I cannot be more proud of that fact than the fact that I am in love with him completely and yes, utterly. You say these nauseating words when it is nothing other than true. Meaning there is no other way to express your deep feelings and astute thoughts when they are pouring out of every measure of your reality. I love you Rico and thank you-

With that on the table, lets dress it also with "you create what you are". Being married to someone I always admire makes me a better and more grounded person. I build on my best qualities and reach for my brightest opportunities. With designing and creating jewelry I always produce my best work when it comes from me, what is boiling up inside me, blossoming inside me, turning inside me. It sounds so obvious but it can be hard to harness. It takes a dedicated focus that you possess even when you look away; or walk a different plain for awhile. You have to re-visit that dedication process and re-evaluate its foundation to control its immensity. It is a grand and wonderful thing that allows us to love, honor and create.

For 2010 my resolution is refined focus and drive. My dedication is there, my abilities are strong and I am so anxious to get started. Now relax nico, grab the wheel and watch the road...

Sonoma sun sets- A Jewelry box revealed

2009-11-03T14:17:00.000-08:00

The middle of October I was in Northern California with much of it spent in Sonoma, and the rest in Berkeley and then San Francisco. Such a beautiful time of year with the leaves changing, the days warm and the nights a bit frigid.

While I was in Sonoma I stayed with a dear old friend while she house sat a quaint home in the hills. I took in the eye dropping beauty of Sonoma on the deck of the house while creating jewelry. I would gaze into the stones I use with more intensity thinking of their immortal beauty. Such strength in their color and the facets so luscious . All of which I felt was being reflected in the surrounding environment. The gold of the hills, silver clouds mid-day, pinks and greens in the dusk sky and blues in the bright morning haze.

Chatting with her and watching the clouds roll in from the ocean was as peaceful as can be and will stick with me for years to come. When I create my jewels I like to imagine Cleopatra and the Queen's of history of which adorned their famed beauty and high society position dripping of exquisite stones and precious metals. The Greeks made jewelry that sung out loud and reeled in on lookers. Poetry of accessories spread across their necks, dangled from their ears and sparkled from every finger, wrist or the top of their prized head.

Today you do not have to be from royal blood or a thick wallet to paint your self as a Queen. A beautiful piece of jewelry frames you and ties the bow of presentation. When you posses a quality piece of jewelry it lasts lifetimes and holds many memories. Every beautiful color, intriguing facet and wondrous design.

I create treasures, and guarantee the glee:)

Peace till the next post-

Back in Seattle after almost 2 weeks on the East side of this country. Visited family in Rhode Island and checked out Connecticut, love to Mystic! Then headed to NYC to see friends and do some shopping. (big hug to Bushwick)

We stayed in Brooklyn where the picture behind this post was taken. It could be anyone artist or many for Brooklyn is filled with street art and artists. There is a artist by the name of Swoon that resides in those parts so if it be so, here's the cred.

While shopping in the Diamond District, and 'no' not for diamonds but gem stones of several shades, I purchased some beautiful pink sapphires and green tigers eye. Pictures are to follow but of the jewelry creations not the stones alone...I shall keep you all posted just remain entertained:)I also picked up some amazing new chains, WOW gold is expensive!!! Well so is sterling.

With my season in full swing, October 1st to mid December, I am eager to get these ideas in my mind out and to the public. I have several trunk shows over the next couple months so check out my website for details nicorich.com-

Peace until another post, stay tuned-
