Jewelry is the quintessential Mother’s Day gift, but here
is an option with a twist... Shantilly
jewelry, designed by Shandi Levy, developed from the mastery of childhood
crafting where a mother taught her daughter to create artwork and accessories
using scraps of fabric. This knowledge evolved into an eclectic & unique
line of designer jewelry incorporating vintage scarves and exotic textiles. So
if you have access to grandma’s scarf, or a special piece of fabric, you can
transform your keepsake into a gorgeous jewelry memento for the mom in your
life. For new moms, Shandi’s unique, customized ring collection, S.L.,
can display the names or initials of their little babes so that they may carry
them wherever they go. Shantilly
and S.L. may be found at GUYandGIRL (Shelborne Hotel) or at www.shantillyjewels.com
