New from Philip Crangi

Giles & Brother by Philip Crangi necklace and ring, and Philip Crangi for Vera Wang necklace I don’t think anything can ever top the pieces Philip Crangi did for Vera Wang (I’m still kicking myself in the butt for not investing in one of them — they were SO gorgeous!). Thankfully the jewelry designer just … Continue reading “New from Philip Crangi”
