Collection: Laura Lobdell Summer Trunk Show

Laura Lobdell, an artist, applies the language of her art, the use of every day objects, to jewelry design as a way for her collectors to tell their story.

Precious metal versions of Champagne Bottle caps, the Champers Collection is  a signature of Laura Lobdell, a symbol of love and a reminder to celebrate every day.  Each piece is signed, copyrighted, hand crafted in New York and perfect for personalization with hand engraved monograms and diamond bubbles.

Things began with The "Guitar Pick," which was originally made for musician friends who played in the Village.  They would lose their picks, and call out to the crowd for quarters or nickels as substitutes. Laura sculpted guitar picks in silver and threaded them with leather to be worn around the players' necks, which their girlfriends promptly pinched to adorn themselves, creating a need for more.  Laura added four related pieces to create a collection titled "Five Easy Pieces," presented in decoupage black cigar boxes:  a RunoverBeerBottleCap, Bullet, Piano Key (from an antique Steinway), and the Slab ID bracelet.

 Requests from women for jewelry styles in a similar whimsical vein were answered with what have become Laura Lobdell classics:  "Bubbles Royale," a bubble wand in sterling silver or gold that comes with liquid bubbles, the "Match Stick Necklace," packaged in a match box illustrated with "You're My Match," and the "Champers Ring and Collection."

We are delighted to welcome Laura to the Jewel Box this Summer. Chin Chin!
