A brief anecdote to introduce Tracy Arrington: the first time jewelry manager Ivy saw her work, she wasn’t fast enough. In the hustle and bustle of wonderful craft shows, we tell ourselves “I’ll be right back”, and then regret it later. So it was with Tracy’s beautiful work - we saw it, we loved it, but we didn’t jump quite fast enough, and we missed out on the chance to welcome her into our store’s collection in 2015. But sometimes, despite how the old saying goes, the second time is the charm, and we were delighted to discover earlier this year, as we prowled the halls of the American Craft Council show, that Tracy could be ours! (Regarding chances: we didn’t dare wait for the third!)
Tracy’s work walks a tricky balance: it’s mature and sophisticated in its style, restrained in its color palette, and yet still wonderfully, obviously handmade. It’s versatile, too - we had a ton of fun selecting items we knew would look just as smashing out for drinks as it would at the office, or for a day out with the girls. Black, white, and gold go with everything, and Tracy uses the contrasting textures of pearls, rough black diamonds, oxidized silver, shimmering moonstones, and more to keep three simple colors interesting and unusual. We think they'll be a much-loved addition to your wear-anywhere favorites - no second thoughts necessary!
