Started by designers Amy Glaswand and Catherine Marion, CG arte is a delightful line of pendant necklaces and bracelets. One of the designers is a close family friend and after running into her at a Bar Mitzvah recently I was made aware of the heirloom-quality line. The charms retail for between $1,500 and $1,900, while the larger pendants go for between $1,980 and $2,300. The pendants come on a thick ($2,300 for the necklace; $1,200 for the bracelet) or thin ($920) chain. I love the stick motif and the leaf with the small touches of diamonds down the center. The line is build-able, so you can start off with one charm and keep adding every time an occasion calls for it – such a great way to keep memories close to your heart with a piece you can wear everyday!
The line is currently stocked at four boutiques, but you can email the designers at info@cgarte for more information.
