Mars and Valentine- Jewelry for the Modern Goddess

I don't know why I haven't reviwed Mars and Valentine already. They have the most amazing jewelry. I first discovered the line while shopping at The Grove Arcade in Asheville, NC years ago. Mars and Valentine uses a combination of antique and estate pieces and gives them an updated edge.

I have since found Mars and Valentine pieces at Nordstrom and online at Gilded Lily. There are also some on Ebay. It is not a cheap line by any means, but I believe the quality warrants the prices. I have seen some lower priced items (as low as $95 for a pendant), so there are options for all.

Here is their motto/creed/mantra (I love it):

Some things are just better old - especially when they are new

The cut of a 40's jacket

The patina of a 300 year old italian marble floor

The velvet feel of a finger worn poker chip

The balance of cherished objects

with the strength and humor of modern design

is the heart of mars and valentine...

creating an intriguing new sensibilty

Below is a sampling of some of my favorites I found online. Enjoy!
