The Health And Beauty department at the Boise Co-op now features exceptional pieces of hand-crafted jewelry and elegant accessories available today.

The highlight items, occupying the “top shelf” of the jewelry display, are several pieces from Hazel Cox, a burgeoning legend of jewelry art in the greater Northwestern area. Hazel’s line consists of pendant necklaces of fossilized flowers and diaphanous bits of crocheted silk, bracelets crafted from handmade rope, pressed metal earrings and necklaces as well as earrings and adornments designed from found feathers or fabricated elegant metal fibers.

Hazel has become a fixture of the latest jewelry art scene from Berkeley to Portland, and for good reason. It is truly an honor and a privilege to make her pieces available here at the Co-op.

Hazel Cox’s collection may occupy a “signature series” position in the jewelry display, but there are several other artisan craftworks available as well, not the least of which being a wonderful array of high-end pieces by our very own Alta Rehkugler, including earrings and bracelets made from precious and semi-precious gems and metals. Alta founded “High Designs” handmade jewelry in the early turn of this century, after decades of crafting pieces for friends and family. Alta’s line of tribal, every-day elegant statement pieces are a beautiful addition to our selection!

The High Designs and Hazel Cox displays are complemented nicely by the fine craftworks from Calla Lilly Designs, the jewelry line crafted by Leslie Young from the Boise Co-op Wine Shop. Calla Lilly offers several bracelets and necklaces following a post-modern, Native American/western theme, including a turquoise and earthen-tone motif.
