why we do this

2011-11-02T12:14:00.002-04:00

hi

i quite like the story of scosha and the term story jeweler. i think that all special gifts should have a story behind them.

i am purchasing the earrings for my daughter who will turn 13 this month and is "finally allowed" to pierce her ears-she still doesn't know it yet! she lived her first 7 years in nyc and has moved to more than a few countries since-a traveller she is and very fortunate dad moves around for work! her goal in life is to return to nyc to "live forever" as she terms it. we now reside in switzerland as unfortunately my daughter suffers from neuroblastoma and this was the suggested childrens hospital for her. seeing my husband is swiss it was the right choice-i am australian just like Scosha but travel was too far for a lot of different reasons.

the reason for telling my story is that i would like Scosha to know that we too have a story sometimes-when purchasing-and this gift along with the scosha story seemed perfect for my precious girl.

thank you Scosha.

ahhh, the modern teepee

Learn about Precious Metal Clay

2011-03-30T11:51:00.000-04:00

Texturing Metal Clay with Stamps, Molds, Texture Mats, Texture Plates, Tear-away Textures, Appliqué, Punches, Carving Tools, and More!

One of the things that makes metal clay - including both precious metal clay (Precious Metal Clay / PMC and Art Clay Silver and Gold) and base metal clay (bronze, copper and steel metal clay) - such an exciting medium is its ability to be textured easily. Everything from rubber stamps to found objects can be used to impress wonderful details into your designs, which become pure silver / fine silver (.999 silver), .900 silver (in the case of PMC Pro), 22k gold, bronze, copper or steel metal after being fired. You can also texture dry metal clay by carving, filing, molding, and other texturing techniques.
This lens provides loads of ideas for creating interesting and intricate textures in metal clay. Your imagination is the limit!

Get to know Williamsburg.

Scosha is located in North Williamsburg where the food is amazing, views are lovely and the people come from all walks of life.

Few other enclaves inspire the kind of love-it-or-loathe-it partisanship that this one does. But the thing to remember is that Williamsburg is actually a rather large neighborhood, both in population (it’s home to about 125,000 people, about the same as Harlem) and geography. Read More

Promo Workshop for Perfume Intro (Mice at Play/Anne McClain/Scosha)
Mar 17, 2011

The Nose Knows: Perfume Making Workshop with Anne McClain

Mice at Play, a new New York based community of curious and adventurous women is setting off on an olfactory adventure in the beautiful store, Scosha's & Co, in Williamsburg. You are invited!

As part of Mice at Play’s 5 Senses series, you will participate in an introductory perfume workshop with Brooklyn-based aroma maven Anne McClain who will teach you the fundamentals of perfumery, and equip you with a basic understanding of standard perfume vocabulary and concepts. Throughout the course, natural and synthetic ingredients that form the perfumers’ palate will be sampled, and their origins, properties, and uses will be discussed. You will then dissect several mainstream and niche fragrances to see if you can identify the raw materials contained in them, and discuss how harmonious blends are made.

Date: March 17th
Time: 7pm-9pm
Price: $75.00 non-members. $67.50 members.
Purchase tickets in advance at: http://miceatplay.com/playdates/18/. Thank you. 

Expert Profile: Anne McClain

Raised in Rhode Island and Japan, Anne’s many travels instilled in her a great sense of adventure and appreciation of other cultures and ways of thinking.

In 2005, Anne moved to Brooklyn, New York, where among all of the creative people, she felt she had found a place to call home. The energy and optimism of New York allowed Anne to follow what was at the time a budding passion. Anne turned to the fine art of perfumery after an extended interest in photography as another way to flatten an experience into something tangible, yet ethereal. Anne also enjoys learning about aromatherapeutic qualities of natural ingredients, to understand the psychological effects that the distilled oils of flowers, resins, barks, peels, leaves and other plant materials have on the mind.

Anne graduated with honors from the Grasse Institute of Perfumery in 2009.

About Mice at Play:
Researchers are pointing to PLAY as a fundamental need, crucial to a healthy adult life. Stuart Brown, M.D., author of Play: How It Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination and Invigorates the Soul says, “What enables us to innovate, problem-solve, and be happy, smart, resilient human beings is our ability to PLAY. The level of responsibility most women carry often makes them put play on the backburner.”

Escape the everyday! Through events such as Trapeze, The Polar Bear Swim, Harlem Renaissance Photo Shoot, Mixology 101, and Burlesque, Mice at Play has been providing its members an outlet for play and dare. Forget the typical dinner‐and‐a‐movie with girlfriends; Mice at Play members gain renewed vitality and happiness by experiencing unique and creative adventures that often take them outside their comfort zone. Our playtime guides women on a road to self-discovery and enrichment. Mice at Play is fun with a purpose.

Seeds and Fruit- Scosha Interview

2011-02-09T12:40:00.000-05:00

Fantasy, soul, and the natural connection of things are at the heart of Scosha Woolridge’s jewelry designs. Originally from Australia, Scosha drew inspiration from her worldwide travels before eventually calling New York City home. Her happy mix of materials — including textiles, metals, leather, and precious stones — play off each other in a way that feels raw and authentic. Scosha approaches her work as a storyteller, incorporating words and materials that together create a personal narrative. Designing for both men and women, Scosha explores the sort of truth that can only be found in things made by hand.

FRIENDSHIP MONTH: August 1 - August 31st

2010-07-15T17:51:00.000-04:00

SCOSHA cordially invites you to celebrate friendship through Friendship Month, an event lasting the month of August, at 5 participating stores around the world:

Kabiri in London
FREECITY in L.A.
New York Adorned in N.Y.C.

SCOSHA in N.Y.C.

The idea is simple: buy two friendship bracelets for the price of one and Scosha will provide you with a posted envelope in which to send one to a person you love.

100% of the proceeds will go to a blossoming organization called Art in All of Us, a non-profit which connects children of varying cultures through the exchange of artwork via academically organized pen pal program.

The price of a pair of bracelets starts at $25 and goes to infinity (as much as you would like to give). Visit www.artinallofus.org for more information.

Spread the love and friendship. Contact info@scoshanyc.com for further details.

SCOSHA presents Fall Look Book 2009

2009-08-19T16:43:00.000-04:00

The latest collection from the jewelry brand SCOSHA is inspired by the organic worlds of flora and fauna. With her dusty old suitcase, SCOSHA’s jewelry continues to travel

between the arrival of fallen leaves in the North, and the sprouting of spring is in the
South.
SCOSHA, known for mixing precious and non-precious metals and materials, is introducing
more earthy tones and elements such as wood and basket weaving. She is inspired by the
hues of Pinks, greens and browns, representing fun, focus and fertility. These colors
are great for both men and women.
The jewelry brand founded in 2007 was conceived through many years of bohemian world
travel, with the intention of bridging diverse cultures via artistic expression.  Scosha
Woolridge evolved her technique into the romantic and effortless, soft textured universe
of precious metals and stones that it is today.
A selection of current retail locations are Freecity, Odin, Ron Herman, online boutique
Net-A-Porter, Kabiri in London and United Arrows in Japan
A continual presence in the press (including WWD,  Marie Claire, Lucky, Nylon, Glamour,
The New York and Los Angeles Times, Daily Candy, Refinery 29 and an ongoing stream of
fashion blogs) firmly established SCOSHA's unique designs.

SCOSHA ‘s soulful contemporary collection of treasures will remain a keepsake forever.

HAPPY SPRING!

2009-04-07T14:48:00.000-04:00

Scosha celebrates the coming giddiness of the new spring season and all of
the festive light that it promises with her latest Babylon offering.  Images of
majestic tipis and homegrown circuses, resplendent with flowing, colorful
murals and ribbons carried by gentle winds, as well as the nomadic festivity
and freedom  that  accompanies  them, are just part of the celebrations of
friendship that inspire her new collection.

This  Spring's  offering, a selection of pretty-yet-strong and playful
bracelets that fuse old-school "friendship" wrist-ties with precious metals for men and
women alike, can be worn individually for subtlety or layered and stacked for a
more pronounced visual statement.
Three feminine bracelets consist of fine, bright color dualities like pink
and turquoise, red and black, and the lighter look of grey and black - each
bound with precious 14 kt gold or silver.
For men, the same idea is offered but in stronger combinations of black or
grey threading with thicker silver or gold chains.

Designed with Scosha’s continued "something for everyone" pricing ethos in
mind, the entirety of the collection falls within the  $69-84 dollar price
point.

SCOSHA Valentine's Day Special

2009-02-05T16:03:00.000-05:00

The Temple of Love

The temple of love is not love itself;
True love is the treasure, Not the walls about it.
Do not admire the decoration, But involve yourself in the essence,
The perfume that invades and touches you
- The beginning and the end.
Discovered, this replace all else, The apparent and the unknowable.
Time and space are slaves to this presence.






O Love
O Love, O Pure Deep Love,
Be here, Be now, Be all
– worlds dissolve into your  stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with your brighter than cold stares
– Make me your servant

Congratulations, Shari!!

2008-12-12T14:29:00.000-05:00

We are pleased to announce Shari Ajayi as the lucky winner of our stylish Babylon Bracelets.
The prize is a solid bangle in sterling silver or 18kt gold plated on bronze.
The bracelet is hand stamped with the statements: In the city of Babylon. love.live on no evil in the city of love. live on no evil. In our Babylon collection we are fascinated by the use of palindromes,mirror words. We want to look at the world around us from two sides.

Here is Shari's own thoughts about Scosha NYC and the Babylon Bracelet:

“I appreciate the complexity of design and the history behind each Scosha NYC piece. I work for TSE, the famous cashmere brand, and my sterling silver Babylon bracelet complements and accentuates the rich hues of all of cashmere cardigans and sweaters. It has quickly become one of my favorite pieces of jewelry!”

-Shari Ajayi, 24 Brooklyn, NY

Thank you, Shari for your support!!!

Find the perfect gift for your loved ones!

LOVE=EVOLve

2008-10-15T15:41:00.000-04:00

Lifestyle Jewelry by Scosha is now offering new products and extended lines. Collections still include precious metal and stones for both men and women that are continually inspired by the beauty of traveling through everyday life. Apart from adding new beautiful pieces we now have more items available in sterling silver, which is great for a broader clientele.

The past months have been very successful. Particularly the Babylon line, which is geared towards casual fashion for both men and women. The popularity grew rapidly after Scosha was interviewed in the September edition of Men's health magazine.

"Men's fashion is such an interesting topic, and there is still so much to be explored"

People are curious about the background, and the source of inspiration behind the Babylon Collection and it's placement as Scosha's men's line.

"I love Men's jewelry, but I don't think the selection is broad enough. It came kind of naturally to make a line of Jewelry with men in mind but that woman would wear as well. That's what I like to wear, it's non Gender, and I'm opposed to - pink for girls and blue for boys."

THE CITY OF BABYLON.LOVE

L I V E O N N O E V I L

"Mirror words or palindromes for me are like pendulums - the eye and mind travels back and forth, you can't help but begin to explore".

"I'm a big believer in two sides to everything - I love the opposites, positive growth, and the play on words. I chose words that may seem like they are negative, but when put in a sentence it conveys exactly the opposite. The perfect opportunity for someone to misunderstand, typically, that's how life goes."

LOVE for example spelt backwards is EVOL. LOVEEVOL, love = evolve or evolution. The politics of romance and relationships, it's a powerful word it can make things change. - Ever started acting strange when you feel love. - Imagine the world if we could drop love juice on everyone.

The work always comes back to the design of nature, good and bad

For our promotional deal this month: Our newest necklace and bracelet LOVE=EVOLve, are for both women and men in sterling silver, is now on sale. Necklace for $59 and bracelet $49. Other metals are available by request.

Inspiring Dads

2008-06-11T17:03:00.001-04:00

This blog post is dedicated to inspiring Dads around the world.
I want to draw the attention to a fellow Jewelry designer that traveled around the world and found the uses of global culture as an inspirational source for his work.
Lorenzo Kellam is an American born Jewelry Designer and currently a resident of Sweden.
In the sixties he lived in New York and was inspired by the cities creative atmosphere around him. After meeting his wife during
his travels he followed her back to Sweden where he has been based since the early eighties. His children are Swedish and American.
Lorenzo's jewelry has a futuristic touch, he uses materials such as Plexiglas and Swaroski crystals in interesting shapes to create his abstract ideas.

His line includes jewelry for men and women, and they are unique as his sculpture and furniture designs. his use of recycled PET plastic creates beautiful jewelry for women in his current 2009 collection.

Something of interest.

Get inspired by his work of art at: http://www.lorenzofuturedesign.com/

Caravan – celebrates the beauty of traveling in life

2008-06-05T15:31:00.000-04:00

I thought I would introduce to background and inspiration source for the friendship bracelets and the Caravan Collection.

The main source of inspiration for the collection comes from the beauty of transportation and the organic form of traveling. Transportation in this sense is about recycling the experiences and knowledge you get when moving between cultures and countries.
It’s like arriving in a town at dusk when there is a festival of artists and musicians that are celebrating this way of coming together.
The spirit of the bon fire creates a circling of people expressing their creativity through music, song and dance. It’s is this merging of peoples, wisdom and cultures that has been followed as a golden thread through the Caravan Collection.

The bracelets represent friendship. You can trade the bracelets with friends and the strong weaved linen is everlasting, just like friendship.
People asked me about the everlasting and waterproof features of the bracelets.

I've had mine all on for over a year, never taken them off- even once! I'm a sculptor too, so I'm always working with them on, and have had lots of different detergents, paint, wax, you name it Ive been up to the elbows in it! and it all washes of- IN THE SHOWER.

What ever your into

I'm always delightfully amazed how people that own dogs in NYC, keep up with the "walking the dog", and follow behind with a little plastic bag for the doo doo, - I recently heard there was a doggie party being held in a Soho loft.

One that isn't connected to the Doggie world can only ask- what do you do at a doggie party??? Well,,, there's, Doggie drinks, Doggie treats, Doggie games and the fellow that was telling me about the event said, his pet Doggie is really only going for the "Doggie networking".

Ohhh,, " does he have a card?"

My immediate thought after my hysteria passed was, maybe i'll make Doggie collers. If a dog will wear jewely I'll make it!!

Then It turns out there's a Piggi world too. What a beauty!!

Williamsburg is a great source of inspiration

Scosha Jewelry, a greedy puppets tale!

2008-05-09T18:06:00.000-04:00

Nothing is wrong with the greed for life,,,, in fact, one hopes that all people get the most out of their time on this fruitful planet!!

The core being the seed to explore and experience the journey, that is called life.

After living in New York City for 3 years now, and after traveling parts of the globe, I decided to hang up my hat for a while, and set up my own creative business.

Finally I have both my website and blog launched which I'm really excited about.
