Spring Green Chain Necklace and Earring Ensemble, $195
Personal essence, this is what Beverly Grant strives to capture in her artisan jewelry. Spending most of her adult life in corporate America, Beverly left the corporate world after twenty six years to start her own business. She designs and creates one-of-a-kind artisan jewelry that reverberates with the strength, energy, and spiritual characteristics of the stones and crystals she uses, that when combined with the energy and essence of the women they adorn, creates a force larger than the sum of all its parts. She envisions physical expressions of women’s inner beauty and brings them to life. She sees women both as jewels and special beings who become more aware of who they are when adorned with jewelry that captures their unique identities.
Beverly’s designs come from her own inspirations, not from trends or what others are doing. She may work from the stones, from a color, from a style, or from a client’s request. Being that each piece is one-of-a-kind, each and every creation is a true work of art with absolute certainty that no other woman in the world will have anything like it.
Magic to Beverly is when the energy of a woman comes together with the energy of a piece that feels right to her. It’s not about picking a piece, it’s about finding a match.
Using only the finest quality and most unusual materials from select sources who offer unusual cuts, sizes, high grades, and small lots, the Beverly Grant Artisan Jewelry line aims to create pieces that ignites, energizes and demands attention.
We received the Spring Green Chain Necklace and Earring Ensemble from the label’s Spring Collection. The necklace is made of mother of pearl discs with yellow turquoise and green and dark blue variegated beads on a 48” gold chain. The earring is made of variegated green beads on French wire. The ensemble retails for $195 and comes packaged in a gorgeous black leatherette gift box.
Two words – absolutely stunning! This ensemble took my breath away, a definite love at first sight. It started with the packaging. The black leatherette gift box is impressive, large in size and sophisticated in style. It’s an elegant touch that added to the anticipation of opening to see what’s inside. Well, what is inside is a sparkling vision of stones and beads in gorgeous spring colors mixed with gold.
I received this set after returning from a trip to Europe where it was cold and wet. How delightful to return to Southern California where it is warm and dry, and be welcomed by fabulous spring jewelry. I did not waste any time matching the ensemble up with my spring wardrobe.
Wearing the necklace long, it is super chic with a white strapless sheath dress. Wearing the necklace as a choker with multiple layers, it’s the perfect match up to an off-the-shoulder, silk floral dress with layered ruffles. This 48” long necklace with a lobster clasp closure is unbelievably versatile. Not only can it be worn as a necklace in more ways than I can remember, it can also be worn as a belt. It’s a great way to dress up a pair of jeans and a plain tank top. Add the earrings and a pair of heels, and you’re good for a night out on the town.
Construction-wise, both pieces are extremely well made. The craftsmanship is superb and the materials of good quality, definitely worth the money.
Of course this set is one-of-a-kind so you won’t be able to get the same one but this set is only one of many amazing pieces available from the line's extensive collection. If you’re looking for a mother’s day gift, I would highly recommend any set from the ensemble collection. Your mom will love you forever, receiving something that no other woman can have, a gift as individual and special as she is. You can even keep the earrings, the necklace stands on its own. Even better though, get another set for yourself, one that represents your own individuality. Then swap the earrings – you keep the earrings in your mom’s set and give your mom the earring in your set – this way, you and your mom can have a piece of the other’s identity, now if that’s not a great gift, I don’t know what is!
