Jewelry designer Janice Girardi has spent the last four decades traveling southeast Asia, studying ancient silversmith techniques from Balinese master craftsmen, and drawing inspiration from the magnificent beauty that surrounds her. Her use of colorful gemstones and intricate details bring the beauty of Indonesia to life in our exclusive Balinese collection.

Each fall as seasons change, so do the trends and colors we wear. It comes as no surprise that shades of red are always a fall staple; maybe it’s inspired by the gorgeous foliage or ripe apples; but this year vibrant reds will shine alongside some colors you may not have been expecting. (lilac, pinks & burnt orange, are just a few)

One of our most loved and best selling pieces, the karma Ring, is a simple style that serves as a daily reminder to keep your inner circle positive. The karma ring was one of the first Silpada pieces I purchased and is definitely the one that I wear most often.

There are so many definitions associated with the word “karma”. You may have heard the saying “what goes around, comes around” associated with it but the core of karma goes deeper. Karma is an important doctrine in Buddhism that explains the law of moral causation. What’s interesting about this Buddhist belief is that it is associated not as much with doing unto others as you would like done to you but more so with how we treat ourselves. In other words, we ourselves are responsible for our happiness and misery and we create our own universe.

Since ancient times, gemstones have been worn for not just their beauty but also their healing qualities. Lapis stones are well known for their deep royal blue color and shimmering golden flecks that resemble a starry night sky. Lapis is known as the stone of truth & is said to have powers to influence the wearer’s awareness. PLUS, the fashion icon & Egyptian beauty, Cleopatra, used it in her cosmetics to create the signature eye makeup design that symbolizes an Egyptian pharaoh.

So, what are these powers & how do they influence those wearing lapis jewelry?

Gone are the days of keeping your metals separated. We’re all about mixed metal jewelry most seasons, but especially fall, as the weather cools down and we find ourselves in a sea of neutral colors and muted pairings. Mixing silver & gold jewelry with your all black outfit adds a touch of color without making a statement against dark monochromatic outfits.
