#WordlessWednesday - Vendor Spotlight Introducing Demarco

With over five decades of jewelry design and craftsmanship, Demarco has a special story and simple goal; to provide every woman a heirloom piece that artistically showcases their personality and beauty. With this ideology and the knowledge that no two women are alike, they've created five bridal collections: Lovers Knot, Eternal Devotion, Love Token, Infinite Hearts and Love Story.

Lovers Knot is a collection that floods each ring with diamonds, encompassing the band inside and out. The Eternal Devotion collection is made up of halo design rings. With its lacey designs the Love Token collection is for those who seek the feminine touch. The Infinite Hearts collection focuses on rows of exquisite channel set diamonds. And the Love Story collection is made up of shared prongs and micro-pave rings. 

As their signature, Demarco has incorporated a unique pink diamond in every single ring, symbolizing the hidden unspoken emotion and bond with their significant other.

Vendor Spotlight - Liv Haley

Have you noticed the new star in the LA sky?  Liv Haley is the creation of best friends and Sister-In Laws...drawing their inspiration from the sights and colors of Los Angeles and their piece of the sun drenched landscapes of Southern California and the local ocean shores.


Working in a full range of metals Sterling Slver, 18k Gold Vermeil and 14k Gold, the Liv Haley brand incorporates stunning gems both traditional and rare in their workshops in the Los Angeles area.


The Liv Haley Story (from their website):

before olivia thornhill and hali thornhill, co creators and designers of liv haley, became both sister n laws and friends, their individual paths were clearly and inextricably leading them to this perfect union.

olivia spent 15 years as an award winning stylist for editorial and tv, traveling all over the world with some of the top directors and photographers in the business. combining her signature touch of pitch perfect taste and a relentless need for perfection, she has styled some of the most recognizable personalities in film, television, music
and sports.

hali, an accredited gemologist who has been custom designing jewelry for the past 10 years, has had a fascination with the marriage of stone and metal for as long as she can remember. using a combination of elements from her ‘favorite things’, she made her first piece of jewelry when she was 12 years old.

the girls have taken their passion for jewelry, fashion and design to create simple yet sophisticated pieces that make up the stylish and contemporary jewelry collection of liv haley. each piece combines a balance of elegance and relaxed luxury with classic, easy to wear designs.
