Waxing Poetic 2016 Catalog

WAXING POETIC

SPRING/SUMMER 2016

Dear Friends, Much has changed for Waxing Poetic in 2015 — we’ve had new discoveries and breakthroughs, we’ve weeded out the needless and unnecessary, and we’ve committed ourselves, our artisans, our designers, and our brand to make this year be a genuine, sincere, and emphatic return to form.

In this catalog you will recognize both old friends and new forms, updates on former favorites, strong statement pieces and tiny, telling pieces of your personal vocabulary or the very best parts of your very best friend — and more. But not too much more, because too much stuff equals not much soul — and we’d rather have the latter than lose our ability to notice, share, highlight, engage with, be awestruck by, delighted over, moved deeply by the wonder from which each of our overlapping and interconnected ordinary, beautiful, amazing, loved, and blessed loves is made — and use wax and metal and heart to share to honor it and each other.

With much love,

BELIEVE The part of things where everything and nothing make sense and where you still feel safe and held.

Where we are moved, and most loved.

Where faith lives, in some part, in all of us.

WAXING POETIC | ABOUT

A B O U T WA X I N G P O E T I C Waxing Poetic jewelry, charms, objects, and general amusements come to you from Carpinteria, California, by way of designer Patti Pagliei Simpson, her intimate coterie of friends and family (sisters in particular): like-minded artists, dreamers, adventurers, and raconteurs. We make things we love, and hope you like them too.

We believe that faith, risk, hope, and joy are inextricably bound, and never mutually exclusive.

Adventure and routine are strange, and sometimes lovely, cousins. There is a way to write the lines in between all of us, and in our own small way, we want to make links.

If we can make things to share, to pass in between, we can do more than we ever hoped – and then some.

80

Our jewelry is fabricated by an incredible batch of Balinese craftspersons, truly part of our extended ‘family’. These incredible people devote themselves and their lives to beauty, both in action and intent. Somehow we were blessed to have them join forces with us. Our Bali artisans are paid several times more than minimum wage, and treated with respect, dignity, and most importantly, gratitude. We work closely with the Bali wing of the WP family in both refining our designs, and in building aesthetic sensibility based not only on concept, but also on construction, and shared content.

Waxing Poetic believes in community– not just ours, but the overall global adventure version of community. We want to be fair, to be good, and to be grateful. We do our best, but know we can always do better. Much of that better, really and truly, is thanks to you.

PRODUCT I N F O R M AT I O N

ORIGIN

Waxing Poetic is a globally conscious brand using production techniques that marry our design concepts with a range of artists and craftsmen that are unique to different cultures. Our jewelry and display items are manufactured throughout the world in Indonesia, Thailand, Italy, and the United States.

S TA N D A R D C A R E I N F O R M AT I O N

Our jewelry is composed of sterling silver, brass, bronze, and plated silver or brass. Other materials which appear from time to time include leather, silk or cotton cording, semi-precious stones, pearls, crystals, and resin. All Waxing Poetic pieces are made of the finest formulas and materials available.

Waxing Poetic’s signature finish is an artisanal antiqued look with oxidization; most of the pieces are not designed to be high polish.

Tarnish is not a sign of poor metal quality or a product defect; it is a result of exposure to elements.

Metals naturally oxidize over time and develop a normal patina from wear which is not a product defect.

Texture holds more oxidization and will require regular maintenance. Examples are items with heavy engraving like Custom Collection, or texture like the Celestial Orbs, and Twisted Link Chains.

Never use chemical dips.

S T E R L I N G S I LV E R , B R A S S & B R O N Z E

Waxing Poetic uses the finest alloys for sterling silver, brass, and bronze available on the market today.

Though it contains anti-tarnishing agents, all fine sterling silver does eventually tarnish with age and exposure to various elements. Brass or bronze jewelry will tarnish more quickly than sterling silver, but can easily have its shine restored. We recommend that you do not wear your jewelry in the shower, hot tub, sauna, ocean or swimming pool, as moisture accelerates the tarnishing of metal. Sometimes the chemical makeup of skin oils combined with lotions may also contribute to tarnishing, so apply fragrance and hair spray prior to putting on jewelry.
