Josephine’s Daughter debuts fish leather jewelry
Inspired by her love of the coast, Moonrise Jewelry designer Meredith Restein will sail into Josephine’s Daughter, a Rehoboth boutique, Friday-Saturday, June 24-25, to present a trunk show of artisan jewelry handcrafted in her Eastern Shore of Virginia studio.
The public is invited to come and meet the artist at the debut of Fin & Flower, her new collection of jewelry featuring “reel” fish leather and her signature Real Orchid Blossoms seen on NBC’s "Today Show." The trunk show will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., Friday, June 24, and noon to 4 p.m., Saturday, June 25, at Josephine’s Daughter, 40 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Mews in Rehoboth Beach.
Restein began her journey as an artist in her father's pharmacy at the age of 9, selling sculptures made from seashells she collected near her Chesapeake Bay home. A self-taught jewelry designer and entrepreneur since 2002, Restein grew her business piece by piece, continually refining her style, providing exceptional customer service, and contributing to her local community. As one of the first artisan jewelry designers in the budding green marketplace, Moonrise Jewelry caught the eye of national press including Lucky magazine, TLC’s "What Not to Wear," and Meryl Streep’s Green Guide.
Moonrise Jewelry’s signature style has evolved into a colorful brand of wearable art that’s inspired by Restein’s love of the world's most beautiful coasts, including the one she calls home. Committed to providing her customers with high-quality jewelry they won't find anywhere else, Restein continues to seek out innovative new elements for her designs, including real orchid blossoms and eco-friendly fish leather made from discarded salmon skins. What hasn’t changed is her dedication to making a positive impact by handcrafting exquisite jewelry with heart, reflecting the inner beauty of the women who wear it.
As Moonrise Jewelry gains an international clientele, each piece is still handmade in a local studio overlooking the same Chesapeake shoreline where Restein got her start years ago, where her daughter now searches for seashells to fashion into her own creations.
