Welcome to the Auriolus Blog! On
this site I will be discussing many fascinating and important subjects to jewelry
lovers in particular and lovers of art in general including:
·
The
history of the stones around your neck
·
The truth
about healing stones – ones that heal you.
those that can make you sick
·
The truth
about Alchemy –
Harry Potter or Leonardo Da Vinci
·
The Art of
Buying Jewelry Art
·
the decline of art and need for a new Renaissance
·
Philosophy
and Philanthropy
AND MUCH MORE – HOPE YOU ENJOY!
We will also be announcing some
very exciting events on the site where you
will have an opportunity to meet me personally
and see more of the jewels that are constantly flowing out of my studio in
Delray Beach Florida.
And - if you have an adventurous spirit
(like me and all my staff) you will learn of an opportunity to travel to
faraway countries to do a little exploring and shopping with the Master Shopper
– Moi. Each year I take a few of our
Auriolus clients on a trip to Istanbul, Turkey where many of the antique
artifacts I use in my Jewels are acquired.
Tara my agent in the US has all
the details and will be coming along in September (contact tara@auriolusjewelry.com). The next scheduled journey is September 16-23
2013 and there are only 8 spots so sign up early. My agent in Istanbul (Gursel
Balut) is our host during the stay and between
the two of us we will show you the most exciting city on earth like no one else
can – its cuisine – its art – its antiquities – its people – the Sufis – the Sultans
– the nooks and crannies and hidden secrets of the only city in the world that
strides two continents. What has James Bond got to do with it – find out. Want
to learn to cook Turkish/Middle Eastern food from a local chef - a Dutch lady
who has lived in the city 20 years and has the neatest restaurant. Stay in a
hotel run by the same family for generations – only 17 beautiful rooms and a
chef named “Rambo”.
The next Jewelry show is May 8th
2013. It is a celebration of my move from California to Florida (I miss Cali but
love my new home too). I will be showing many new pieces including a number not
shown on the Auriolus site. There will be lots of great food and wine and music
– all hosted by my wonderful daughter Annelise at her home in Boca Raton (Annelise
is also the Auriolus featured model by the way and by far my most beautiful and rare
creation to date!)
SO… for now I wish you peace in
your life and may art fill your days with joy! Following are a few pics and
links to introduce the Auriolus Galleries and the staff who makes it all happen. We are a team that
loves what we do, love people and believe that ART LEADS!!
