Having been in business for over 20 years, we have an extensive close-knit Dogeared family of retailers across the country and worldwide who we love working with! One of our stores in the Kansas City area, Frankly Basic, collaborated with One Sparrow Creative to shoot this gorgeous jewelry story. One Sparrow Creative calls Frankly Basic one of her favorite places to shop and also one of the best places to buy jewelry. Check out how they styled some new Dogeared pieces:

Everyday Jules

header-FNL

What makes a piece of jewelry something you can wear everyday? It’s simple. It’s modern. It represents you and your personal style. It goes with EVERYTHING!

Mega-blogger, fashion it-girl and LA’s own, Sincerely Jules, has spent the past month showing off just how versatile one piece of jewelry can be. Luckily for us, it happens to be the Dogeared Circle Necklace that she’s been wearing with so many amazing looks. The quintessential everyday jewel for everyday Jules!

Meet Becca! This fashion-minded free spirit and Dogeared it-girl will be our eyes and ears in Palm Springs this year during festival season. Marking her 4th year, Becca will be heading down to the desert with 25 of her closest friends (no joke). We sat down with her to chat all things music and style!

Spring Layers: 100 Good Wishes

header

Two is definitely better than one! Our go-to layering necklace, 100 Good Wishes, is the perfect piece because it can be worn to suite your style. Ranging from 31″-41″, 100 Good Wishes can be worn either as one long layer or two shorter ones. Go long when you’re trying to offset multiple long layers. Try going shorter to show off your neckline.

For spring, we’re introduced new Rose Gold to the 100 Good Wishes collection. It’s a must-have to pair with all of our new Rose Gold styles!

The Next Generation

blog-header

Walking into the room filled with the 12 or so juniors and seniors from the Archer School for Girls, you can immediately feel the energy in the room. We were excited too! We love having the girls back each year for their annual Career Day. We learn just as much from them as we hope they do from us, leaving our staff incredibly refreshed and inspired.

This year, we started by sharing a cool & easy way to make friendship bracelets. We got to see how creative the girls are, each of them totally has their own sense of style. One thing they definitely taught us… this generation is MOTIVATED! So many of them are already tapping into their skill sets and potential career paths: graphic design, artist, accounting…pastry chef!

The girls get to tour Dogeared, talk to our team and learn about how we design and produce all of our jewelry right here in this building. They design their own card concepts, some even drew their own charms (and wow, were they impressive)!

Nothing feels quite as good as knowing you’ve touched the lives of the next generation. As the day is coming to a close, one of the girls asks, “Do you ever take on interns?” The entire room of girls chimes in, raising their hands, “Because we all want to work here!”
