Introducing “The Minimalist Jewelry Corner” by Cynthia Dillon… A Collection of “mini” bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings … to be featured on our website… www.diolundesigns.com “From 1800 – 1850, “a transcendentalist philosophy took hold in America and is popularized by the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. They held the idealistic view that insight and enlightenment can be gained through solitude and simplicity, such as illustrated in the book Walden.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness….” it was 2021…another year of Covid. But as “all things must pass…” let us hope 2022 brings Joy and Health to all… in “pursuit of Happiness!”

The Season is ... upon us… At Jennifer Garrigues, Inc., in Palm Beach, my jewelry sparkled and looked wonderfully beautiful. Against the case’s blue and green fabric, the sterling silver jewelry comes alive! Hope you visit this beautiful store in the heart of the island of Palm Beach….

  On my Facebook wall there appeared an advertisemnet to a Bonham’s auction on “Wearable Art” for October 12th, 2021. The catalogue is extremely impressive with pieces from Picasso to Peretti. On the latter’s creations, (Elsa Peretti) I happen to know quite a bit having worked with her for nine years and having known almost all of her collaborators -especially during her productive years. And I know how the early pieces came about… She had, what was once an American Institution behind her, … a win-win-win situation!  https://cynthiadillon.com/wearable-art/
