Where's Waldo?

Anyone who has enjoyed the Where's Waldo children's books knows that you must have an eagle eye in order to find Waldo. Let's apply that principle to find what makes our jewelry unique and remarkable. See if you can spot the vintage component in each piece of our new fall jewelry featured below.

A signature feature of jewelry by The Montage Collection is its use of vintage components. In the dazzling Maria earring pictured above the vintage element is pretty apparent. The fabulous Art Deco posts were created from pieces of vintage pressed glass with marcasite embellishment.

 

The one of a kind Katy necklaces have one feature in common. Their pendants are created with vintage pressed glass center pieces circa 1940's. Each vintage center piece is then embellished with Swarovski cup chain and matte black spikes to give them a modern edge.

 

 

Our Chandler necklace is another great example of reviving antique components to create interest. The bead caps used here are antique pieces yet they work perfectly with this very current leather collar with hand woven beading.

 

Finally our chunky and modern Hannah necklace sports the resin chain and horn beads so popular in today's statement necklaces. The unique touch added here is the use of vintage brass bead spacers that feature a hard to find brushed finish.

 

All of the stunning and unique pieces on today's blog will soon be available on www.myrnahalpern.com. If you can't wait, contact us at themontagecollection@gmail.com.

Finishing Touches

When you are doing a photo shoot high atop a bluff in an amazing garden overlooking Admirality Inlet where Puget Sound meets the Strait of Juan de Fuca, anything can happen. Perfect weather, warm sun, cool breezes, gorgeous model. Life is good.

 

 

These are some candid shots, the finishing touches from our recent photo shoot. You can see the actual product shots on the home page of www.myrnahalpern.com.

Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to photograph the winning combination of a beautiful woman in a beautiful setting.

 

Loving our artsy jewelry shown against this fun and funky garden gate.

 

Could be the first and last time that our jewelry is featured in such a "natural" setting. Gives new meaning to the concept of a hen party.

 

And the final finishing touch to this great shoot was a visit to one of my favorite bistros for a scrumptious dinner of the freshest produce and seafood from the Pacific Northwest accompanied by an incredible bottle of wine and a very talented boogie woogie piano player. All in a day's work.
