It's Wedding Season!

It's wedding season...and wedding season means bridal shows!

We are preparing and creating samples for the Modern Bridal Faires in San Francisco on February 28 and in San Jose a month later on March 28. These shows are a lot of fun and usually have just about everything you could imagine for planning a wedding. Excited brides, mothers, sisters, friends and planners mill around looking for the perfect touches for their big day.

Ofina is going to be a vendor at this year's shows. We will have examples of our current collection, although we often create custom designs for brides, bridal parties and families. We are used to working within a range of styles and budgets. Click here for some recent pieces we've created for our brides.

We're really looking forward to the shows and are offering 40% off our jewelry for Modern Bridal Faire attendees. If brides-to-be aren't ready to make a decision on an exact piece that day, we are accepting $25 deposits to ensure a 40% discount on jewelry later.

Hope to see you there!

Ofina on The Lazy Environmentalist

Ofina recently spent a day (or three) in the life of a Sundance Channel documentary. The Lazy Environmentalist invited us to be a part of their show and asked us to participate in an eco-friendly overhaul. Cameras and bright lights followed us through a typical day in our design studio in an attempt to show us that there are both environmentally sound *and* stylish ways to run our business.

Not only did we make energy saving and recycling changes in our store, Ofina was also challenged to create jewelry made from sustainable materials. We think we came up with some beautiful pieces:

We wrapped the filming with an open house (read: party) at the store. Customers and fellow designers were asked to review the jewelry. Their thoughts and our eco-friendly work will air on the Sundance Channel later this month. Stay tuned for exact dates and times!
