Recycle your old gold and diamond jewelry into a brand new custom ring!

2011-11-16T14:13:00.000-08:00

With the price of gold at an all-time high, it is the perfect time to bring in your unworn gold and diamond jewelry to be re-purposed. We will work with you on to create a custom design that will breathe new life into your old pieces.

Recently, our dear friend, Cheryl, brought us an heirloom ring to re-design. She writes of her experience...

For my daughter’s 16th birthday, I looked through my jewelry to find something special to pass on to her. While I was looking, I crossed a ring loaded with little diamonds that’s just not my style and I hardly ever wore it. The ideas started popping because it was the perfect piece to re-purpose. I love the fresh styles at Angie Star and looked into what could be done. It was a lot of fun to work with a custom designer and I’m absolutely delighted with the outcome! The largest stone is set in a beautiful clean style ring for my daughter and a cluster of smaller diamonds were transformed into a stunning constellation in my own ring!

Perfect Gift for Moms and Grandmas!

This recycled sterling silver bracelet can be customized with names, initials, or birthstones to represent all your loved ones. So personal, so lovely!

All About Olive

Fall is my favorite season, by far. There are so many things I love about this time of year. From the crispness in the air, which demands a re-assessment of our wardrobe (Hello, boots and scarves!), to the always-mesmerizing color changes. More than any other, this season reminds me to embrace change.

Check out the full inspirational scoop on Sara's blog, and view more delicious images of this juiced up new line for fall!

The Parturient State by Jetha Marek

2011-09-01T12:03:00.000-07:00

Angie Star's latest guest designer, Jetha Marek, has just delivered a beautiful new collection inspired by her expectant state...

A pregnant woman can attest that as her womb rises, her hands rest, rub and naturally place themselves on her growing child. There is genuine giving over of yourself to these changes, and it's not always comfortable. Letting the creative physical force of your body do it's work. Much like letting the authentic process of jewelry-making happen. Allowing the materials to talk to you. Taking the time to listen to how the materials want to be used. And, getting stuck - much like the whale instinct in the middle of the night - and figuring out how to turn over, and manifest something beautiful.

Click here to read Jetha's full blog post, and stop by Angie Star to browse her beautiful new collection.

2011-08-05T10:57:00.001-07:00

The latest collection from Dana Birke has just arrived at Angie Star! Dana describes her inspiration below.

The pieces in this collection were inspired by the incredible coins from Tibet, Ethiopia and Afghanistan. As I created many of the pieces the classic Tibetan chant of 'Om Mani Padme Hum' kept going through my head! I was then reminded that Mani actually translates as 'the jewel' so the name for the collection was born. I hope you find the peace and serenity of meditation when wearing any of these pieces.

"Redfeather Girls" from Katherine Sanz

2011-07-17T13:36:00.000-07:00

Katherine Sanz, a true cowgirl-at-heart, just created some special new pieces for Angie Star. Inspired by her rustic roots, Katherine describes her latest work...

I grew up on an old ranch outside of Redfeather, Colorado. This jewelry is for the ranch, windswept hills covered in yellow grass, solitude under star filled skies, memories, and the girls I shared them with.

You know what they say. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. This jewelry is for that little part, deep down, that still wants to be the rodeo queen.

Mother Love Series: Angie

2011-05-08T12:15:00.000-07:00

A memory I have of my mom is that she always believed in me. If I have accomplished anything today, it is because I can hear my mom's voice crystal clear in my heart saying, "You can do it, Angie!" with such confidence, that just by her saying it, I believed it, and it became so. I count my lucky stars that such a genuine, good, kind woman was born to be my mom, and my best friend. When I think of real live angels, I think of her first.

This year will be my first Mother's Day, and now I know for the first time how much love you can have for one little tiny darling person in the world, filling up your whole heart with hope and happiness. Happy Mother's Day, all you real live angels!

Mother Love Series: Sara Watts

2011-05-07T23:26:00.000-07:00

My mother recently shared these photos of herself at Laguna Beach when she was in college in the late 60's. Our whole family couldn't get over how much she looked like me in them (or maybe how much I look like her now). I've always been told how much I look like my mother, but I think that there is something about the smile caught in this moment that is more than just similar bone structure. I think that we are deeply connected, and that certain moments just reveal glimpses of that hidden connection. I think the joy in her face is so beautiful and I always want to look this happy, so I can look like my mother.

One of my favorite times with my mother was a year we spent together in London. We had moved to England with my father, but he was so busy with his work that my mom and I had to find ways to entertain ourselves- we became a dynamic duo! She and I spent most of our time together visiting museums, having dinner out, and exploring the city- just the two of us. I think that we went into that year mother and daughter, and left best friends. It was such a special year and I am so grateful that she wanted to show me the world. I love you Mom!

2011-05-07T22:55:00.000-07:00

Growing up, right around this time of year, the winter rain would finally take a break in Western Washington and we would have a miraculous, hot, sunny, Spring day. On that first hot day, my mom would report me sick to the school receptionist, and we would pack up lounge chairs, cooking magazines, and a basket of snacks and head to one of the few sandy beaches in our area: Point No Point. We would sunbathe, take beach walks, and relax. My mom taught me that it's okay to take time to enjoy life, to play hooky once in a while, to reward yourself for hard work, and most of all, to spend time with the people you love. I was the kind of student who would get upset over a "B+", but even then, I knew those sunny days with my mom taught me much more that any single day at school ever could. Love you, Mom:)

Mother Love Series: Dana Birke

2011-05-07T00:14:00.000-07:00

When I first started to make jewelry and was quite self-conscious because I didn’t come from an art background like so many of the other designers, Angie Star sweetly said to me, “Don’t worry Dana, what you lack in experience you make up for in good taste.”
Enter my mother. My mother has had a classic sense of style for as long I’ve been around. She is a teeny wisp of a thing with a pixie haircut, wearing smart glasses on her face or perched upon her head; black pants or jeans, a black or white shirt (every now and then she gets crazy with the perfect yellow or raspberry tee), a delicate gold bracelet worn with her watch, one gold ring and a gold Tiffany’s locket. She’s been rockin’ that look forever and she is an icon. Everyone who has ever known her would easily describe her look with a bit of envy. She always looks crisp, fresh and unstudied because it is simply who my mom is: beautiful, authentic and timeless. Due to my jewelry making habit, the poor thing has been forced to add another tiny bracelet and gold necklace to her repertoire which she does with pride and grace. The minute she put them on, I knew they were never coming off and they looked as if she had been wearing them for 20 years. She imbued them with her unique love and style that really makes jewelry beautiful; the same love and style that I was fortunate enough to have bestowed upon me.

My mom is special in many ways, but mostly because she makes me laugh. After whooping her several times in Words With Friends I received this message on Friday night: Julie you suck. Love Mom. It made me giggle.

Mother Love Series: Miranda Wachtel & Momma

2011-05-05T09:30:00.000-07:00

My mom recently shared this photo with me for my birthday. She is feeding me with such a sweet look on her face. My mom has always been my greatest supporter. I remember another photo of her that is so special to me. It is so cute because she is fearlessly wearing one of my first seashell creations. I was 7 or 8 and it was no masterpiece but she always wears my jewels with pride. It is so much fun to look through her jewelry, it's like a timeline of my work. She can never get enough of my jewelry. When I ask if she is tired of getting jewels for her birthday, Christmas, and mothers day, she tells me she loves my creations. It makes her so happy when someone compliments her and she tells them her daughter made it for her. Miranda

First of our Mother Love Series: Katherine's Mom ~ Mary

2011-05-03T17:57:00.000-07:00

This is my Mom. I know, right? She is so beautiful. Doesn't she have the kindest eyes? My mom has made beautiful jewelry out of antler, bones, wood, and leather, twisting and weaving natural materials together to create truly beautiful work. I can see her hands and feel her kindness in every piece. Going through her jewelry box unearths the most stunning goddess jewelry you will ever find. One particular pair of earrings she gave me are so full of magic. Wearing them is like wearing an encouraging hug from my Mom all day. They make me feel like I can do anything. She has always made things and taught me about the power of wearing art on your body. Its a big part of why I still love jewelry so much today. I remember sitting at her feet playing with bits of whatever she was using in her studio and creating teeny treasures with beads and string. 20 years later, not much has changed. I thank my Mom from the middle of my heart for inspiring me to create something new everyday. I love you Mom!!

Thank You for Voting us Best of Boulder!

We at Angie Star want to thank you for voting us "Best of Boulder" for the 7th year in a row! We are honored and thrilled that you think we are doing a good job!

Eco Wedding Bands

2011-04-21T16:05:00.001-07:00

Recycled 14K Yellow Gold Bands

As resident bride-to-be at Angie Star, I have been thinking a lot about wedding jewelry. At least once a week, I meet a couple who is looking to find wedding bands that not only say “I love you.”, but also express something about their values and sense of style. As American couples are becoming more aware of the social and ecological ramifications of diamond and precious metals mining, it no longer feels appropriate to express love in a way that is destructive to another aspect of the global community.

The wedding band is a significant purchase for any couple- a symbol of their lifelong commitment. It’s a piece of jewelry that they will likely wear every day of their marriage, but most people aren’t aware the global impact of their choice.

Many people know about about “blood” or “conflict” diamonds, which contribute to violence and human rights violations in Africa. What many people don’t know is that the majority of diamonds sold today can now be authenticated to ensure that they have not contributed to these abuses. For this reason, it is important when shopping for a diamond ring, to establish provenance and ask to see the stone’s Kimberley Process Certificate- issued by participating governments in a UN initiative.

Recycled Yellow Gold and Conflict-Free Diamond

The materials needed for one simple gold wedding band can produce up to 20 tons of mine waste. In addition to the environmental ramifications of mining, it also can displace entire communities, threaten indigenous peoples, and pollute air and water.

Recycled 14K Yellow & Sterling Silver "Flow" Bands

Fortunately, there are numerous ways to create beautiful, socially and ecologically conscious wedding bands, that reflect each couple’s style.

One great place to start is by re-purposing materials you already have. A family stone can be re-set on a new (recycled) custom band. This is both environmentally conscious and deeply personal.

Recycled metals are readily accessible these days, and many designers, including Angie Star, believe this is the only ethical way to go.

Wood bands and other sustainable materials are also becoming available.

Recycled 14K White Gold "Flow" Bands

With so many compelling reasons to go eco, and so many great design options that cater to these values, I hope you will consider choosing a ring that both expresses both your love for each other and the planet. xo, Sara

Funky Plaid by Miranda Wachtel

2011-03-27T15:43:00.000-07:00

Miranda Wachtel's latest collection for Angie Star is a twist on classic pearls. Inspired by her mother-in-law, Miranda explains...

Recently she was telling me about a new throw pillow that she was so excited about, she referred to it as "funky plaid". I must admit that I giggled a bit to myself as I heard these two words together. Funky and Plaid. It's kind of like a "cool mullet", the two words just don't really go together. Then it sunk in, no matter what my previous perception of plaid was (dorky and stuffy), in reality, it's a classic. So in my home my husband and I often joke about funky plaid but to us it has come to mean an updated classic.

There is nothing more classic than pearl jewelry, Queens have worn them, your Granny wears them, and the lady at your church definitely wears them. Imagine the old stuffy pearl with a modern twist and here we are again at funky plaid. Pearls dripping in oxidized silver chain with moody moonstones and elegant green amethyst and apatite seem more wearable than they have ever been. The darkened chains against the shiny pearls and gemstones just feel so fresh.

Bridal Jewelry Traditions Made New

2011-03-06T14:02:00.001-08:00

Most brides are familiar with the expression “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” but few know the history behind the rhyme. Its origins actually date back to Victorian England, where it was believed that by carrying these tokens, a bride would have good luck on her wedding day and in her new marriage.

Today’s brides still have a sentimental connection to this lovely tradition from the past and are finding their own unique ways of fulfilling it.

Something Old...

symbolizes the connection between a bride, her family, and the past. However, often times, “something old” can look just that. Heirloom pieces can be used to to create new jewelry that is both beautiful and meaningful.

• A strand of beautiful pearls from a grandmother may come in a length that is neither fashionable nor flattering. These pearls can be redesigned into a custom necklace that reflects a bride’s own individual style, while allowing her to honor tradition by wearing her grandmother’s pearls.

• Incorporate a vintage locket into a new piece of bridal jewelry. The pictures she selects to place within the locket make it even more meaningful.

Something New...

reflects optimism for the future. Historically, bridal jewelry has been almost overly "perfect". Recently brides have been embracing a more individualistic style. The look is shifting away from the prim, fussy bride to a more relaxed, easy and still incredibly beautiful aesthetic.

• Wearing several necklaces or one piece made to look layered gives a more contemporary look

• A decadent cluster of complementary stones on a necklace or earrings brings a bit of subtle color into the equation

• Stones might be more rough cut (maybe even raw diamonds) and metal can be handcrafted into more organic shapes and patinas.

Something Borrowed...

typically from a happily married friend or family member, carries some of that luck to the new bride. This item also reminds the bride that she can always rely on her friends and family.

• Antique brooches work well to accent the waistline of a gown, or as decorative hairpieces.

• Veils also make wonderful borrowed items.

Something Blue...

The color blue has been used in weddings for centuries in cultures throughout the world and is associated with purity, love, and fidelity. Blue was even a common color for wedding gowns up until the 20th century!

Pastel blue for weddings has been the norm for years - think baby blue satin bows and garters. Gemstones, however, come in a spectrum of blues and can be a sophisticated way to follow this tradition

• Apatite and aquamarine come in shades from pale to mossy.

2011-02-02T14:27:00.000-08:00

Designer, Jen Leddy, is debuting her latest collection at a trunk show at Angie Star on Saturday, February 5th. She describes her work below...

Inspired by a day dedicated to romance, this is a line of “Complete Connections” that combine simple, sophisticated, and fluid designs. Whether the piece is comprised of linked circles, straight or undulating lines, or continuous swirls, each piece speaks to a simple connection that embodies lasting love or friendship. As a whole, this line contains sterling silver, 14kt gold-fill, and 14kt gold. Reminiscent of the romantic glow from a burning candle, there are warm accents of color including andalusite, beer quartz, smoky quartz, tourmaline, rutilated quartz, tundra sapphire, and white topaz. A perfect one-of-a-kind piece for that special someone!

Sterling silver hoops with wrapped natural zircon, andalusite, sterling silver beads, and white topaz.

"Light at the End of the Tunnel" by Miranda Wachtel

2011-01-12T13:16:00.000-08:00

Miranda's lunar inspired collection features moss amethyst, black garnets, and of course moonstone. She explains her inspiration...

The recent Winter solstice coincided with a lunar eclipse, this is the first time since the 1600's that this has happened. As I watched the celestial show, I thought of the cyclical nature of the moon. The light comes and goes every 28 days, sometimes it is full and bright and other times it is encased in shadow. It dawned on me that even on the darkest of nights, there is always the faintest glimmer of light. When the moon is new in the sky and fails to illuminate the Earth, the stars are always there giving us hope that light will come again. This line is a tribute to the magical recent eclipse. It is comprised of Moonstone, Moss Amethyst, Black Garnet and oxidized silver. If you hold the moonstone pieces just right, you can see a brilliant flash of color and then it fades into the shadow. These pieces are meant to bring the wearer a connection with the celestial events that we take for granted and hope that there is always light at the end of the darkest tunnel.

The Talisman Collection from Katherine Sanz

2010-12-01T14:13:00.000-08:00

Katherine describes her newest collection for Angie Star...

This is a very special line infused with magic, and made with love. I am calling it the talisman series because the pieces are made to accentuate the wearer's inner power and bliss. The pieces are made with high quality rutilated quartz, mystic quartz, andalucite, citrine, bronze, vintage items, and 14 karat goldfill. Quartz dispels negative energy and helps the wearer cultivate a more preferred bliss while citrine promotes abundance in all areas of life. The various charms and metal beads are very special to me and I have been saving them for just such an occasion. Some are Indian, some are African, and all emote a precious power!

The warm hues of 14karat gold-fill mixed with amber, citrine and tourmaline is like a steaming cup of apple cider on a cool day. Or the way the sun hits the tall gold grass at sunset.

"No Name" by Julie Jagger

2010-09-25T22:24:00.001-07:00

Julie describes her new collection below:

A peculiar friend had a dream about a dog that had no name. The next morning he went to the pound, adopted a dog similar to the one he dreamed about and named him No Name. I recently ran through a dusty little plot called No Name, Colorado. America sings about a horse with no name. And now, here is my new collection without a name. No name. No inspiration. No dangerous love story. No dead dogs. It just happened like spilled milk, affairs and the big bang. Made with red brass, sterling silver, smoky quartz, rutilated quartz and citrine, this collection is simple, earthy and always in style. Wear with love and happiness while you fly around this pretty little town.

glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid

According to Greek mythology, the Pleiades were the seven daughters of the titan Atlas and the sea-nymph Pleione. The Seven Sisters roamed the earth, protected by their father, Atlas. After Atlas was condemned to carry the heavens on his shoulder, the sisters were left alone. They were pursued by the hunter Orion, who wanted his way with them. For their protection, Zeus turned the sisters into doves and they flew so high that they became the brighest stars in the Pleiades constellation.

There they are, forever shining in the night sky as nymphs in the train of Artemis, the goddess of the moon.

Organic Jewelry Collection by Julie Jagger with Pink Sapphire, Sunstone, Smoky Quartz & More

2010-07-02T10:02:00.000-07:00

When designer Julie Jagger added this bright and playful collection to Angie Star, we were all dazzled with her choice of luscious stones and organic metals. Here's a little insight into Julie's inspiration:

I love mushrooms, but not so much for their taste. In fact, I find them to be of a most disgusting flavor. I love them for their lumpy, enchanting, mystical appeal. When I see mushrooms, I want to take the one pill that makes you small, curl up and take a long nap underneath their shaggy caps.

So, I thought I would do a mushroom inspired line. I decided to make a simple line that was earthy and magical. I used oxidized sterling silver, red brass and smoky quartz as my foundation. I added fancy stones such as sapphires, spinel, rubies and sunstone to create a series of rich pieces. Enjoy!

Locally Made Sterling Silver Cuffs with Silk Ribbon

2010-07-02T09:38:00.000-07:00

Angie Star designer Britta Ambauen is currently offering these incredibly unique and beautiful cuffs at our downtown boutique. Britta explains:

The inspiration for this cuff came from a belt I bought when I was a freshman in college, which featured silk ribbon woven in and out of the leather and riveted in place. It has been a favorite piece for many years, so sometimes the best inspiration is right there in front of you!

Sterling silver is cut by hand to accommodate delicate, 100% silk ribbon. A juxtaposition of cool metal, and soft, delicate ribbon. Ribbon is secured in place with hand-made silver rivets, stamped on the inside with "XO" for the love that went into making this piece.

Choose between brushed silver and indigo blue or high shine and dusty-rose pink. $225 each

We always look forward to Angie Star designer Julie Jagger's new collections--not only for her cool designs, but also for the accompanying stories. Her current collection was inspired by her dog, Spoon. Be sure to visit Julie's blog for the full story... but in the meantime, here's a little snippet of Julie's writing:

Spoon was devilishly handsome, smart as a whip and best of all plum crazy.... The jewelry is made of abstract spoon shapes, most of which move when you move. The necklaces have a single brass hoop on the left side to represent his eye patch. I used sterling silver, red brass and moonstones throughout the collection. Pop into Angie Star Jewelry and pick up a little piece of Spoon.

Angie Star: Happy Couple Spotlight, Custom Eco Wedding Bands

2010-05-13T11:36:00.000-07:00

Angie was delighted to create special wedding bands for Shannon and Tom!

In the process of choosing an engagement ring, I made a list of priorities and environmental responsibility ended up at the top. To us, a wedding ring is more than a symbol of unity, it is a statement declaring the type of people we hope to be. ~Tom

Tom had worked with a designer at Angie Star to design my engagement ring. For at least the year leading up to our engagement, we had done some research about rings, specifically the impact that mining for precious gems has on the environment and especially people who live in those areas. We had also seen some documentaries about gold mining. To have such a negative impact on the livelihood of people and the land, we didn't see the importance of having a gold wedding ring that would may last forever with diamonds. We were able to communicate our desires with Angie and she gave us exactly what we wanted: a ring that was made from 100% recycled materials and ethically sourced aquamarines. Knowing that my rings have prevented a little bit of digging and indirectly protected a village or two makes it that much more special of a symbol of our unity. Never once did Angie question our desires for this or try to steer us in another direction. We love my rings! ~Shannon

Bold and Beautiful Designer Jewelry in Sterling Silver by Julie Jagger

2010-03-16T13:46:00.000-07:00

Angie Star designer Julie Jagger is known for her inspired jewelry collections. We're happy to have her bright and cheerful "poppy" collection currently in our downtown shop. Julie explains her inspiration below and on her blog:

I found some big, bold pieces of coral and they reminded me of the poppies my mom grew in the yard of my childhood home. I suppose my new collection is simply an odd ode to the poppy and a nod to my sweet little mom. It is the perfect way to cheer up your now tiresome winter wear. You will be noticed. And you like being noticed, right?

We all want a ring by Julie!
