I am happy to say that we are all busy here at Relios, designing and
crafting new collections for you in 2009! In fact, you might run into
Susan, Bill and I at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show in early February.
We are compiling our wish list and we'll be on the lookout for great
gems we can share with you with our jewelry.

It's About Color
What
I love about bold, colorful jewelry is that it can literally transform
something I have in my closet. The gems can bring out the best in our
clothing, and our clothing can bring out a different personality in our
gems depending on the play of colors.

Our approach to color
begins with gathering trend information from many different sources
(fashion magazines, trade publications, the web, and other media), and
we put it all together on a trend board. Then we sit back and soak it
all in. What usually happens when we arrive at the many shows in Tucson
is that we are naturally drawn to certain stones based on our
interpretation of the trends, how we can make them our own, and bring
gems together in new and unique ways to enhance the colors we will be
wearing this year.

I would love to hear what colors and gems you
would love to see more of in our upcoming shows. Some of my best ideas
come from you, and I truly appreciate your sharing them with me before
I head for Tucson!

I look forward to hearing from you, and to spending some fun filled hours together in this New Year!

Sincerely,
Carolyn
