There was a time when fine jewelry spent most of its life tucked away in a velvet box, reserved for weddings, anniversaries, and other milestone occasions. At Fairbank and Perry Goldsmiths, owner Geraldine Perry is helping to rewrite that story. “We want people to wear and enjoy their jewelry every day,” she says. “It should be part of your life.”
From November 8 through the holidays, Loveday Boutique will showcase hand crafted contemporary lockets from 14 artisans, alongside a selection of vintage finds. These modern heirlooms are created with a range of materials, including precious metals, diamonds and gemstones, walnut wood, and Formica veneer.
“Lockets can open a conversation and create meaningful connections,” said Kirsten Ball, owner of Loveday Boutique. “I often wear my grandmother’s locket, which holds a photograph of her inside it. When I’m wearing it, I feel her comforting presence.”
