Carlotta Necklace

When it came to finding inspiration for our new holiday collection, we didn’t have to look far. Just across the street, actually. Of the many astounding beauties Arcata, California, is known for, our beloved Victorian homes and buildings are majestic wonders. (Fun fact: our Carson Mansion is considered the grandest Victorian home in America and is rumored to be the model Walt Disney used for Disneyland’s iconic clock tower.) 

Having all those elaborate and gothic turrets, gables, spandrils, wraparound porches, and sweeping staircases in ready view leaves a lasting impression. And they’re a never-ending source of artistic innovation for our designers to draw from. You’ll see this vintage grandeur in the collection’s elaborate filigree, the precisely lasered points, and in the deep, dark, moody hues of the crystals and gemstones. No doubt, Queen Victoria would have coveted these exquisitely handcrafted pieces—as would any of the royal style icons of the age.
