Jewelry For the Soul by Rock of Eden

There is jewelry that is admired casually and then there is jewelry one dreams about.  It's that gotta-have-it, it-speaks-to-me feeling that can't be shaken.

OC based Rock of Eden, original, fine jewelry is that kind of jewelry. This modern and antique online gallery of fine jewels (prices from $200 - $10,000) is a feast for the eyes. Elizabeth Hargreaves, designer, owner and curator chooses pieces rarely found anywhere else in the world. "These pieces have a story to tell and people connect with them intuitively and emotionally. It's gratifying to be part of that," she says.

She can't mention names but a celebrity singer/songwriter recently purchased a pair of spike and sapphire earrings from the Rock of Eden modern collection 

Rock of Eden also offers extensive fashion and blog commentary at blog.rockofeden.com, making it a rich and rewarding experience that goes far beyond that of a traditional jewelry store. There are detailed descriptions of these one-of-a-kind pieces that help customers appreciate and understand the craftsmanship, the stones and even the time period of design.

Rock of Eden jewelry appeals to many types of women: connoisseurs of luxury who want beautiful jewelry and not just a label, fashionistas who want less costume jewelry and more fine jewelry, and on-the-go moms who want a great right hand ring or stacking bracelet to pump up their their skinny jeans and black t-shirt look.
