Ok, back to the fashion! Somersall’s collection is a fresh blossoming of feminine fabolous-ness. Cocktail rings with lush petals of vermeil and silver surround a sparkling crystal center. Earrings of the same design complete the flirty set.

For a more subdued look, Sakura offers pendants sculpted in the shape of the cherry tree’s branches. Set in matte metals and devoid of the girly-glitz of the other designs, these pendents are definitely earthy-chic. But without the side of granola.

Thursday night from 6-8pm is the cocktail reception with an appearance by Mrs. Somersall herself. Throughout the rest of the weekend, Ginger will showcase the Sakura collection during regular store hours. (Fri&Sat 10-8pm, Sun 12-5pm).
