Meet Reinerland

 Spectacular handcrafted engagement rings and wedding bands from Reinerland

Pieces from Cristina Taranu's new fashion line, available also on Corrente online.

Having a store is every designer's dream. There is a point when you need a place of your own, a home. When the opportunity presented itself, I took it. Should I have waited for a better time, a better plan? It is a labor of love, but it is also damn hard. 

When Cristina and Reiner joined the store at the beginning of the year, I had no idea how amazing it would be. Cristina asked me which days, she should work, 3 out of 7?! And while I was away for two weeks, she worked at the store everyday?! They have introduced their clients to our bags and vice versa. We strategize how to let everyone know, we exist down here on the LES?! Wow, it is exactly what I was wanting, to have other designers care as much as I do about this little gem of a store.  

As for their precious sparkly stones encased in gold, we're girls, of course we love it! I have been coveting the sapphire in rose gold. The pictures are great, but trust me, these pretties are begging to be seen in person. What I love most about their jewelry, is that you can truly tell each piece is handcrafted. And don't worry, there is something for everyone. 

Cristina is also bringing in her new fashion line comprised of skulls, hearts, and butterflies. I wonder what she will end up naming this collection, I know the idea of "death do us part" has already been thrown into the mix.

Cristina works sunday through tuesday, stop by, and find out for yourself how truly amazing she is!
