Concrete Polish


Quartz Ring in Silver/Gold

As a merchandizer for Chloe + Isabel jewelry I tend to stray away from posts about other jewelry lines. However, Concrete Polish is definitely an exception. Designer Angela Monaco's artistic routes stem from years of studying arts from printmaking to glassblowing. She found her calling in metalsmithing classes at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Then in 2009 Ms. Monaco launched her line, Concrete Polish, and guess what... she is located in my home town Philadelphia on historic Jewelers' Row. She turned her love of crystals into wearable art.  I have never seen jewelry quite like it. Her collection literally depicts raw and rugged beauty. Each piece transcends time, and will never go out of style.  Be sure to attend the Artstar Craft Bazaar (booth #98) this weekend to support Concrete Polish! The first 150 visitors will receive free tote bags! They will be there come rain or come shine, so don't miss out! RSVP to the event here!
