Meet the Designers!

Since we just did a post on their jewelry, we thought it would be fun for you to get to know a little bit about the designers of Angel Court, Angela and Courtney. Here’s a mini interview, and a picture of the sweet ladies. Enjoy!

What is one of your key items this upcoming 2011 Spring/Summer season?

One of our key items for this upcoming Spring/Summer season is pearls, chain of all patinas, and crystals piled high: pile 1 (pl) n. 1. A quantity of objects stacked or thrown together in a heap. Go big or go home!

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

A great deal of our inspiration comes from travel. Travel has been the main educator in both of our lives; our aesthetic has been greatly influenced by our journeys. While our inspiration often comes from our past, our design sense and collections are always contemporary and relevant.

What are some of your favorite trends this season and have you incorporated any of them into your designs?

Some of our favorite trends for this season are tassels. Tassels can signify luxury, and at times the exotic. All while elongating the entire dimension of any design.

What would people be surprised to know about you?

Courtney: “People may be surprised to know that my photographic art has been on a world tour, I have a nursing degree with no intention on practicing anytime soon, and I love a dirty martini!”

Angela: “People may be surprised to know that I have been married for 23 years, I am afraid of the dark, and I like disco music.”

What are three things you can’t live without?

Frye boots, wife beater tee, skinny jeans.

Thank you ladies – we think you’re fabulous!

Sneak Peek: Angel Court Jewels

Philanthropy is so excited to be bringing back one of our favorite jewelry designers of all time: Angel Court

We are head over heels for their use of relic and found bits of antiques such as chandelier drops, old ship wreckage, antique chains, drawer pulls and vintage jewels. Just the feel of each piece in your hand tells you that it’s well made, and the weight of it around your neck makes you feel happy to be wearing such a fine bit of jewelry. Plus, you can be sure that no other person on earth has the same necklace as you, since each one is completely one of a kind. There’s really nothing else like it, and we can’t wait for you to come see it!

If you have questions, leave us a comment or give us a call at 615-794-0074. As always, we’re happy to ship to you wherever you may live. We have more of the Angel Court collection posted on our Facebook, so don’t forget to check back with us soon!

Here’s a Sneak Peak!
