Why Grandma Lola?

The ladybug motif was first launched in early 2000. It has transformed over time into many different variations.

One of the fun and challenging aspects of being a designer is to keep reinventing a style over and over. I enjoy that part of the design process. I like to see how many different directions I can take one concept. When I was studying design abroad, one of my professors stressed how important it was to work on "runs" until you are bone tired. It was the first time that I had taken that approach to heart. I have found it to be one of the best pieces of advice that I have ever received. Sketch it, sketch it again....sketch it fifty times more. Don't be so committed to your first concept. It is interesting to go back and look at some of the sketch runs that I have produced....you almost get kooky with your ideas but then you break into a rhythm and before you know it you have something to work with...unless you don't. That always stinks. It happens. It just isn't gonna happen that day. So you walk away from it and try again later.

I am still going back to our most popular motifs and trying to gain a new perspective on them. I think about scale, texture, stone placement, corresponding patterns, more or less detail. I love it.

Featured above is "Grandma Lola." Many people ask why this ladybug has that for a name. Well, when you go through designing and redesigning something again and again...it is almost like you have created an entire ancestory. So here we are today with "Grandma Lola."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey

Dina Manzo on "The Real Housewives of New Jersey " (Bravo Channel) was wearing our 18k gold and diamond "Grandma Lola" Ladybug Bracelet.

It turns out that Dina, a lovely lady on the show "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" started a charity called "Project Ladybug." The Foundation uses all proceeds to help children with terminally ill diseases. I was so excited to see her wearing our ladybug bracelet for multiple reasons:

1) Dina is a darling lady doing a great thing!

2) I love that bracelet! I have it too!

3) Ladybugs are soooo cute!

All silliness aside, the most important reason being that Saint donated to the Project Ladybug many years ago when if first got started. I will never forget, we had a customer at the Neiman Marcus Short Hills, New Jersey store who had a friend whose daughter was very ill. The little girl wore out tiny ladybug necklace to all her appointments. Knowing that my little ladybug necklace was this innocent child's prayer bead through something so scary made me feel so honored and at the same time helpless - I wished that I could do more. Her mother contacted us directly and it was from there that we donated to Project Ladybug Foundation (based in New Jersey). The association of this child and the foundation has always stayed with me.

I am so happy to see that the foundation is doing well and is successful. Dina - if this blog comes your way...you are awesome!!
