Beauty in the process means beauty in our pieces. While a heavy amount of engineering is involved in our cast-not-set approach, each piece looks effortless and perfectly imperfect. Stone color, stone placement, and tactility range from object to object—intentionally so. We all deserve to cherish something truly one-of-a-kind.
Mr. Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo
Description:
Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney, London, for years. A flamboyant, wise-cracking character with a dapper taste in retro suits and a fondness for Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father, grandfather--and also secretly gay, lovers with his childhood friend, Morris. His deeply religious and disappointed wife, Carmel, thinks he sleeps with other women. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce Carmel and live with Morris, but after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away? With an abundance of laugh-out-loud humor and wit, Mr. Loverman explodes cultural myths and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.
A groundbreaking, hilarious novel about two elder gay Caribbean men coming to terms with being closeted in a changing world.―Winner of the Ferro-Grumley Award for LGBT Fiction
