March 7, 2006 Classic Roc

There are certain occupations that go hand-in-hand. Writer/director. Plumber/electrician. Doctor/jeweler. It’s not the usual career path, but Elena Rodriguez practices gynecology by day and bauble-making by night. And damn her, she’s quite the expert at both.  Her pieces are combinations of semiprecious stones on chains and handwoven wire. Grab all the attention wearing the Oceana necklace (aquamarine, jade, carnelian, and apatite on a gold chain). Spark yourself up with the Marimar (freshwater pearls studded on multiple gold chains with an aquamarine briolette). Let your fingers do the talking with the Iris ring in sapphire or blue topaz. Rodriguez’s favorite pieces are those that she customizes to a client’s request, so let her create what exists only in your crazy little head. When strangers ogle your stunning masterpiece? Tell them it’s just what the doctor ordered. Available online at elenasjewels.com. For custom orders, e-mail elena@elenasjewels.com.
