Shop for you, donate to charity -- Santo by Zani Gugelmann

Meet Zani Gugelmann – Filigrana jeweler with a new line of bullet necklaces called Santo. After working on her high-end jewelry line Filigrana by Zani, inspired by her Peruvian heritage, Zani decided to concentrate on yet another personal line, but one that lets her clients have a say in the ultimate design.

They’re a totally tough and chic shell on the outside, protecting your own personal message on the inside. Each bullet-shaped pendant unscrews to store a small wish or message recorded on a scroll.

Zani knew that people want good luck charms, an edgy design, and personalization. From that, she created a silver bullet decorated with gems on the outside, and a scroll on the inside. Clients can choose to write anything they want on the scroll and wear it around their neck, whether it be a career goal, a relationship goal, a life goal, anything you choose.

Silver Bullet in the dictionary reads: a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem. The necklace is all about expression.

Inside Zani’s bullet is the word “love”. It reminds her to surround herself with people she loves and people who love her. Melanie wears the silver bullet with sapphires with her son’s name and birth date in it.

You can choose from 18-karat white gold, bullet-shaped pendant necklaces embedded with precious stones such as rubies, black diamonds, green emeralds, and yellow sapphires. You are the designer. You may choose the material, finish, and precious stones to fit your own personal style.

Additionally, 10% of proceeds go to specific charities according to which type of gemstone you choose. For example, an Emerald bullet donates to Greenpeace, a Ruby bullet donates to an AIDS charity, and a Blue Sapphire to Red Cross, etc.

Fortuny Lamps

Redecorating is always fun...but nothing is worse than spending hours looking for the perfect lighting to end up paying for the same, typical lamp as your neighbor’s!


So, if you haven’t heard of Fortuny Lamps yet, you must go check it out! The lamps are perfect for any space - modern or traditional.

Spanish designer, Mariano Fortuny was originally a stage set designer who also worked as a painter, a sculptor, a photographer, an architect, and an inventor. He is the epitome of creativity! He completely modernized stage lighting and set design and created one of the first dimmer switches. Obviously Fortuny was an artistic genius in every aspect – he created a line of textiles, creating the most beautiful fabrics. He went on to design clothing for the one and only, Balenciaga. His gorgeous, unique fabric is what carries on his legacy.
Fortuny’s products were known for being perfectly styled, yet practical. LUCE GIUDECCA is the only boutique lighting in the world created exclusively with incomparable Fortuny fabric. The stunning frames and individually carved bone-beads and personally tied knots enhance the shade. The attention to detail is unbelievable!





Go to Fortuny’s website www.fortuny.com to see all the fabrics and lighting available! And if you’d rather see it in person…Fortuny’s factory and museum is the perfect excuse you’ve been looking for to visit Venice!
