Rehoboth Beach weekend stops: Rise Up Coffee and Heidi Lowe Jewelry Gallery

by Leave a Comment

thumb rings, iced coffee, and paper straw

Last weekend (ok, technically since it is Monday it was now two weekend’s ago, but who’s counting) I made another trip to visit my bro and his family and couldn’t resist making another stop at Rise Up Coffee. What can I say, I’m a sucker for that black and white branding? (Not to mention the excellent breakfast and those paper straws that hold up to iced latte drinking like none other.)

So of course, I had to commence with my standard silver on steel thumb rings photos! (You can recreate the look by grabbing your own set in my online store!)

scenes from the studio + stockist shout-outs

studio of megan auman, artist, jewelry designer, and metalsmith

This last month has been a busy one in the studio as I’ve worked hard on shipping lots of orders out to some of my favorite retailers. Above you can see a bunch of Contra Collection necklaces almost ready to ship out to the store at the Art Institute of Chicago.

And here’s a batch of earrings, including some from my new Essaint Collection, that I sent out to one of my long time stores, High Gloss in Houston:

minimal art jewelry: modern graphic statement necklace on a white t-shirt

The other weekend I was photographing new pendants for the Essaint collection on a white t-shirt (since I’m super into that now) and I realized it was TIME to add a statement necklace to the collection. So I headed into my studio (ok, to be fair, I was already in my studio, but I stopped the photo shoot and made my way to my work bench) and this was the result:

I love that these new necklaces (which are inspired by minimal floral tattoos) have me going just a little bit edgier in my every day style. (And by every day style, I mean the clothes I throw on in the studio to take pictures of my new jewelry designs!) Still, it’s fun to play dress-up and push your style comfort zone every now and again.

Plus with or without the leather jacket, I still love how the new Verdoyante necklace looks against a basic white t-shirt. And it’s available now in my online store. (Where you can also get it in bronze or silver.)

black statement earrings with white t-shirt and red lipstick

I’ll admit that since I released the Essaint collection, I’ve been rocking the various earring styles almost exclusively in silver. Because while steel has my heart from a makers perspective, it doesn’t show up that well against my darker hair. (Which is why I’m jealous of all those women with amazing grey or white hair, because the steel pops beautifully against it. Same goes for blondes.)

But the other day, I tossed on a white t-shirt, pulled my hair half back, threw on a red lip, and suddenly I am OBSESSED with the Verdant statement earrings in black steel.

black statement earrings, a white t-shirt, and a black and white dog

black statement earrings with white t-shirt and black and white dog

My sister and her dog, Toots (who you might remember from this post and this post) have been visiting me this past week, and I couldn’t resist snapping a few pics of my new Virage statement earrings on them.

Ok, the earrings are on my sister, not the dog. But when you’re super into rocking black earrings with a white t-shirt, it helps if you’ve got a color-coordinated dog at hand to complete the look!
