Saturdays at SemiPrecious are always fun!!! Our customers come from every walk of life-every age. The beautiful thing is that no matter how "uncreative" someone feels when they walk in, they walk out a "designer"!

I just finished submitting some jewelry for a movie. It's so strange when you don't know exactly what the movie is-they just give a little description of what they're looking for-current but not trendy,hipster high school. You should have seen me taking pictures on the cement floor at the shop-hilarious!

Hope they like it!!!

awesome photos!

The beautiful space that SemiPrecious occupies was a gallery before we moved in, so we're fortunate to have artists approach us to show their work. We've had some amazing artists but right now we are awestruck by the incredible underwater photography of Gisele Lubsen. She is a true artist!
Gisele's underwater work pushes her explorations of the mystery of the portrait where the surreal leads to existential questions and timelessness.
Gisele investigates the strange, the wonderful and the uncanny.

If you're in Santa Monica you must come check them out!!

It's wedding season!

ok-I know I haven't blogged in-well, forever but I'm back now.
We've got all kinds of exciting things happening at the shop-not the least of which is that Jennie is engaged!!! It made me think about all of the beautiful wedding and bridesmaid's jewelry we've made. It's so fun because the bride gets to decide if she wants all of her bridesmaids to have the same jewelry or if she'd prefer each girl have something that reflects her own personality. Some brides send each bridesmaid in to design their own jewelry which is nice because it takes that off the bride's already very loaded plate and each bridesmaid gets something she loves!
We've got stones in every color, shape and size so we can design the perfect thing-come in and see!!!
