New Rings for Spring 2010
This week, the focus for Kristin and I has been new cocktail rings for our Spring 2010 collection that we plan on having available online by next weekend. The excitement comes mostly because we both LOVE a good ring – there is no piece of jewelry (for me) that is as personal as a ring. When you say ring, most women immediately think of their engagement and wedding rings that they either have or the ones they dream about…both obviously have an incredible amount of significance and emotion attached to them. A ring is something that a woman admires just as much – or perhaps more – than onlookers. She tells a story and every movement of her hand is a reminder of the gorgeous accessory she is wearing…she sits at a candle-lit table and her eye catches the light dancing off the stones…rings are truly a piece of jewelry that a woman buys for her own pleasure. And for the woman who loves jewelry but now has a little bundle of joy or perhaps many bundles of joy in her life, a ring is still a safe, tug-free accessory that she can wear. Often earrings, necklaces and even bracelets have to be safely tucked away until a special night out without kids, but a ring holds its place confidently and unaffected on a woman’s finger. This is why, as moms who love and design jewelry, we are so excited to expand our collection of rings…
Florence Ring
Paris Cluster Ring
We already have the stunning Paris pearl cluster ring online as well as unique hand-stamped Italian silver rings, like the Florence, that are part of the Kalos line. To these magnificent rings, we are adding the White Island cluster ring (written about here), and the Kailua cluster ring, created from peridot gemstones on a modern square sterling silver ring. We are also going to be adding two single stone cocktail rings in sterling silver settings, the Glasgow and the St. Moritz. The Glasgow cocktail ring is an emerald cut smokey quartz gemstone and the St. Moritz is a faceted rectangle crystal quartz gemstone.
I will be sure to highlight more details on these rings in another blog post, so for now I will just keep this post a simple heads up for what is to come with our Spring collection of rings. I hope you are excited for the new rings…be sure to check out the Spring 2010 necklaces as well as our complete collection of jewelry on JoCoCo Jewelry.

Of What Does Woman’s Rapport With Jewelry Consist
Jewelry is a minor art but it is inspired by a canon of beauty like all art. Nature provides geometric forms, textures, the silver of the moon, the gold of the sun, colors of gemstones in the rough (in their potential: dull and then polished by the hand of man into brilliance). These elements inspire a creativity of fire and friction. The eye catches the message and the hand brings about a tiny miracle. What is the message? It can be an expression of cultural iconography: classical images aligning a person with a god or goddess. It can be an expression of status: interpreting a class of society with a certain type of jewel. The images of virtues and vices, the various professions, institutions, the months of the year, the star signs, the arts, the nations, the great rivers of the world, all had their symbolic representations which were understood by people of all classes in a certain period of history. These images made their point and told their stories in frescoes, sculptures, and ancient coins and jewelry. JoCoCo joins Kalos for you women who want to find what you’re looking for: a classical touch and a feminine tone. So, why do we women care for jewelry? Perhaps because it shows us how to express who we are. We can present ourselves in a certain way. It gives us an intimate expression: a sign and a symbol of ourselves. JoCoCo, over and over, has that simplicity and a characteristic sophistication that will be worn well over a lifetime. We’re trendy with a traditional twist.
