Personlize It.

Jewelry is one of the most personal things you can buy for another person, or even yourself, and our newest, hand-made jewelry lines definitely reflect that. As anyone who has ever walked into our store knows, we pride ourselves on carrying products that are as individual as you are, and supporting local/not-so-local independent artisans is the foundation to that philosophy. Our three newest jewelry lines are Plastique, Julie Nolan and Social Graces; these independent, hand-made-by-the-artist lines are the archetype of personal and unique.

The fabulously minimal/modern necklaces and earrings by Plastique are all laser-cut acrylic, designed and assembled by the artist, Jen Murse, in her studio. Exclusive to Therapy only, the artist has created a line of necklaces featuring five different city names (San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles) hanging from gold chains, made to represent where you're from or, more romantically, where you hope to be.


  

A San Jose native, Julie Nolan has made her mark on the jewelry scene with her antique-inspired pieces. One of the reasons why her line is oh-so-special is the exclusivity of owning a Julie Nolan astrology necklace; we are one of two stores who carry her line in the entire state of California. Now a resident of the great state of New York,  Nolan creates these hand-made brass necklaces in her studio, drawing the astrological design from a turn-of-the-century Swiss calendar, marking the brightest star in each constellation with larger holes. Each necklace is hand stamped by Nolan with the first three initials of the sign. It's debatable whether or not astrology is a science, but there's no argument that these necklaces are art.


Last and certainly not least, Social Grace's initial necklaces are so classically vintage, you'd think they were actual antique pieces, filled with stories from an era long ended. But in present-day Los Angeles, the designer hand prints the lettering on canvas and surrounds it with a gold-plated pendant, which rests on a gold-filled chain (also available in-stores only in sterling silver).
If you want to be very loud-and-proud about who you are, we dare you to wear each necklace that best represents you from each of the three designers; if anything, it'll help you avoid those annoying pick-up lines like 'What's your sign?' and 'Do you come here often?'
