I’ve become a HUGE fan of rings, especially big statement rings. I love the small everyday rings but the ones I have really enjoyed are the big gold/ sterling silver vintage rings.

Two years ago, a vintage jewelry store opened on the lower east side. It is called Pippin and I was fascinated by vintage jewelry because there was so much value to it.

The heart clasp is a popular feature that Kris Peterson’s jewelry customers love, and it’s fitting because the Lindenhurst designer pours her own heart into each of her handcrafted pieces.

One of Peterson’s missions is to use her jewelry creations to help charities.

Peterson recently received permission from Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago to create a custom bracelet as a fund-raiser for the hospital. A portion of all proceeds from the bracelet will go to Children’s Memorial Hospital. Read more about Jewelry designed to help charities …
