At Honora, we're often asked how we come up with all of the ideas for our pearl jewelry. At many companies there’s a single designer or design team. We're fortunate to be blessed with both, but one of the best things about Honora is that anyone and everyone at the company is encouraged to share his or her ideas.
Many of our most popular designs come from Joel, Ralph, Jennie, Julie and the rest of our design team, but there isn't a day that goes by where an inspired idea comes from an unexpected member of the Honora family. We're surrounded by pearls at all times and that tends to get the creative juices flowing.
Over the years we've also gone looking for ideas beyond our team and beyond our walls. You saw this during our last visit with Susan Rockefeller and now, you'll see it again with the introduction of our Orbit Earrings – a collaboration with designer Marisa LaBelle.
So what is this big new idea? The Orbit Cultured Pearl Coin Earring contains a patented design which suspends a large pearl directly below the earlobe via a unique wire finding that clicks firmly into the back. The coin remains suspended in place with a beautiful curvature loop done in sterling silver. It was unlike any pearl earring we'd seen and we just *had* to bring it to you.
A creative team and creative friends go a long way, but there's one inspiration we're yet to mention. You. So many of our best ideas come from your emails and your comments on Facebook. As our designs have benefited by encouraging conversations within our walls and collaborations beyond them, we want to do more to hear from you.
With that in mind, we would like you to help us choose the final color option for an upcoming Honora necklace, bracelet, and earring's set. Please pick your choice at the end of this post but here are your options:
Rose Ombre
Green Ombre
Purple Ombre
Also, Jennie Rossini, Vice President of Honora, will be host a live blog chat at 10am ET on June 6 during Ralph and Mary Beth’s show. We can't wait to hear all of your ideas and answer any of your questions. Post those questions below and Jennie will be answering on Thursday at 10.
We'll see you on June 6th for the unveiling of our Honora Coin Cultured Pearl Orbit Earrings or PendantToday's Special Value® at midnight and hope that you'll join us for our live Q&A at 10am with Jennie.
