Re-duce, Re-use, Re-cycle Grama's Pearls...

In many cases we all have a strand of pearls lying around in our jewelry box that never gets worn. It’s usually the strand of pearls you got for a 16th birthday, an heirloom passed down or a "first real job" congratulatory present...


Well since classics with a twist are all the rage for 2009, why don’t you come over to Skylight and we’ll update those Pearls for you with a custom design that you helped create.

A few pieces we’re working on are adding a large contrasting silk bow to a simple strand to create a much longer, more bohemian-chic appearance; we’ve also taken a classic strand and added oblong, colored and slightly “imperfect” pearls to create a much more wearable piece. Another way to really update your pearls is to create a statement Clasp. Find an old brooch or a favorite pendant and we can secure your pearls with that to create a designer piece. We can also use charms, decorated spacers, glass pieces or even faceted gems to update those pearls to a look that’s worth wearing daily. Pearls are timeless whether they’re in their most recognizable form or Glam’d up a bit with some modern trends so again let’s Re-use what you’ve got, dig out those pearls and stop on by to play designer for the day!

Clouds and a Custom Guitar...

While our main focus here at Skylight Jewelers is Jewelry, we still love to support our local artists. Whether it's local artist Josh Simpson's magnificent inhabitated spheres; Martin Kremer's imaginative fused glass elipses or Wade Sylvester's hand made Guitar we appreciate their skill and are proud to showcase their items.

Recently we've seen an increased amount of play from our patrons on Wade Sylvester's guitar hand-crafted from imported Black limba, Cocobola Rosewood and Lutz spruce. While this guitar turns head by it's mere estetics and unique woods, the sound quality is what keeps guitarists coming back for more. It has been described as "unreal", "epic", "warm", "heart-felt" and by one patron "this guitar that allows a soul to speak." As each musician plays the guitar sings beautifully and it creates a whole new appreciation for not only the music and the guitar but also for the maker and that we have the privledge of carrying such a fantastic piece.

We hope that you music enthusiasts as well as music lovers will stop by and check out Wade's piece.

Tarrytown update: Rain, lots of Rain but very High spirits.

Tarrytown or Bust...

Well at 11am this morning the talented Mr.Spencer and his trust-worthy sidekick Raymond departed for the Crafts at Lyndhurst show put on by Artrider (http://www.artrider.com/). For the past 25 years Artrider and Lyndhurst have sponsered many upcoming and local artist with this venue. It's a New York staple and people come from all over to view, exhibit and showcase their goods. This year the duo will be exhibiting in style as we have a numerous amount of new pieces as well as a few classics (never fear the signature moonstones are always available). A few new pieces from Spencer are a beautiful pair of Tsavorite Garnet earrings that are unreal in the most luscious lime color and white gold setting. A pair of figurine earrings that hoop around as if the acrobat is in mid swing; also a circular cut Sunstone in a simple bezel pendant setting for a necklace but this Sunstone has specs of red running through it and when held up to the skin it looks as if it's got an ethereal glow behind it...Very exciting pieces!!!

We will keep you all up to date with all the Show details/stories as the reports come in!
