21c Museum Hotel has offered something unique and thought-provoking since its debut downtown in 2006, and we love that Louisville can boast such a creative (and not to mention stylish) boutique hotel amongst its many notable city spots to see and experience.

What’s even better is that others outside of the “’ville” agree—Conde Nast Traveller and its readers have just ranked 21c Museum Hotel as the #1 Hotel in the United States and #6 in the entire world. Wow. Between the customer service (we are big fans of the kind, cool, and incredibly helpful staff) and the amazing design (just using the restroom is an event to remember) we couldn’t be happier about being a part of 21c in even the smallest way—congrats to everyone at the Museum Hotel for an honor and award that is well deserved!

And, when you go (because you must), check out our jewels in the gift shop…a drink at Proof, the hotel bar, is much more exciting with some fun local jewelry hanging from your ears or your neck!

Welcome to the Fall Collection! We hope you love what we’ve included so far…but please come back for another visit soon, since we’ll be adding new pieces all week and throughout early October. It’s first come, first serve with these one-of-a-kind necklaces, so if one of the designs truly lights your world on fire, definitely go for it…we love our job, but a customer’s heartbreak over a sold necklace is a the rare down side of life here at Elva Fields Jewelry.

Again, enjoy the collection and thanks so much for visiting!

Even if you’re not addicted to one of the best shows on television, you’ve likely at least heard of Project Runway—where aspiring designers compete in a series of fashion challenges with Heidi Klum as host and a panel of fashion-celebrity judges.

With a fun spin on the idea, the International Interior Design Association will host their own “Product Runway,” showcasing fashions incorporating or even made entirely of design elements like wall coverings, tile, or paint. Not only are we anticipating wildly inventive creations at this not-to-be-missed runway show, we’re honored to be the official jewelery designer for the event.

Join the art and design community on Thursday November 12th at the Hyatt downtown to see true creative collaboration at work in a fashion runway show unlike any other.

(In the meantime…check out one of our favorite shows to see the inspiration for the event…Thursdays on Lifetime!)

When those monster issues of Vogue and Bazaar appear in our mailbox, we know it’s that time of year. The leaves may not quite be changing just yet, but it’s officially time for fall fashion, and that is cause for a celebration of the new season!

To get a peek at the best of the best here in Louisville, you’ll want to head over to the Seelbach on October 8th for the Younger Woman’s Club’s Fall into Fabulous fashion show…the list of boutiques and designers is long and star-studded, and we’re sure the clothing and accessories will be, too.

A few things we know without a doubt:

—tickets will sell out, so get yours now at the Younger Woman’s Club of Louisville website

—the swag bags for attendees will have a fantastically fun little something from Elva Fields Jewelry

—the cocktail hour will not only showcase PAMA libations, but also some beautiful baubles by Elva Fields modeled by some of the YWC’s stylish ladies

—among the amazing silent auction items is an exclusive “Day with the Designer” that features an afternoon with Elva Fields owner Emily Wheat Maynard during which the winner will help to design a custom piece of jewelry to add to their collection

—all proceeds from the event benefit an incredible group of charitable agencies in the Louisville community, so make a difference while enjoying a night out (both will be worth it)

Hope to see you there!

So it all started, as far as we can tell, with Destined to Design, a California designer’s blog about “pretty places and beautiful things” (both right up our alley!)

An entry on Elva Fields Jewelry sparked an interest on another great blog…(this one out of North Carolina and by a very talented graphic designer with her own thriving business creating beautiful stationery…check it out here !)

and another great blog…

and one more called Melissa Loves…

…and now we feel like we have a whole new audience amongst the design community! It’s a wonderful feeling to introduce new fans to our jewelry, and we are really excited to have you all visit the site as often as you can or want to. We’ll do our best to keep you coming back for more fun jewelry!
