Sad News

kmvelasco — Wed, 06 May 2009 05:25:46 +0000

When times are tough, art often suffers. I am sad to report that two wonderful Omaha galleries have closed due to the recent economic downturn. As a result, my jewelry now has two fewer retail locations. Marelli’s in Rockbrook Village and Adam Whitney Gallery in Countryside Village are no more. I thank the owners and employees of both galleries for their support of my work.

Next Up: Trunk Show

kmvelasco — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:45:07 +0000

Next on my to-do list is a trunk show at Creative Hair Design’s Holiday Shopping Event. This is the salon’s third year putting on the Holiday Shopping Event, and it’s getting bigger and better every year. There will be lots of product specials, and the girls at the salon will be putting together gift baskets and making up gift certificates for the holidays. In the midst of all this other commerce will be little ol’ me, with a couple of tables and my best jewelry for sale. For the next month, I’ll be getting ready for the trunk show, making all sorts of new pieces, and designing entirely new collections for the holidays. Come on by and see all the special new gifts and goodies.

New Gallery Location: Marelli’s in Rockbrook

kmvelasco — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:53:43 +0000

A new collection of Kathryn Velasco Custom Jewelry pieces is now on display at Marelli’s Glass Artistry and Gifts in Rockbrook Village in Omaha. The collection features some beautiful natural stones in a range of earth tones—reds, browns, greens and golds—plus some black onyx and quartz crystal pieces, some natural turquoise, and a few other surprises. I’ve been working more sterling silver into my natural stone pieces for what I think is a very nice effect, and as usual, I’m still leaning toward the bigger and bolder look. Lots of fun.

Open House

kmvelasco — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:23:31 +0000

It’s coming this weekend, and there’s an open-door policy: it’s the Kathryn Velasco Custom Jewelry Holiday Open House! Saturday (10/25) from 10am to 5pm and Sunday (10/26) from 1pm to 5pm, my dear mother, Karen Verdirame, is hosting an open house featuring my work. This will be the third or fourth open house we’ve had at her home, and they’ve all been so much fun. It’s a great way to get started on your holiday shopping. Most of my pieces are one-of-a-kind or limited editions, and I do custom orders too. Either way, handmade jewelry makes a wonderful, unique gift. If you’re in the Omaha area this weekend, we’d love to see you. Stop on by! Drop me a line if you have any questions: kmvelasco@gmail.com.
