Fables Jewelry, by Marti Heil

About Me

Company Overview:
Fables, founded in New York City, is now based in oh-so-fashionable Los Angeles! Manufactured on both coasts, Fables Jewelry has a unique style which evokes a romantic nostalgia and turns familiar favorite articles of "life", such as old-fashioned "skate keys" and "bon-bon"crinkled wrappers into sterling "badges of honor", creating fashion statements from "womens drudgery".i.e; Whiting & Davis mesh "Garter Straps" with semi-precious "button" or a (believe it or not!) sexy sterling silver version of an old-fashioned "sink stopper" with silver "toilette pull" chain choker wrapped around several times. Designer and owner, Marti Heil, formerly a top lingerie model in New York, studied silversmithing with Betsy Rogers of FIT and incorporates many years of experience in fashion and design, (She was assistant costume designer on TORCH SONG TRILOGY on Broadway.) her love of everything "girlie" --along with her quirky and trompe l'oeil humor, to bring "stories" to life in the lasting form of sterling silver jewelry. Sensuous, finely hand-crafted, seasonless, elegant, and most definitely tongue-in-"chic", with a hip sensibility, a "Fables" customer quickly becomes a collector.

Collection description:
Fables 2007 collection is ultra-feminine and references Marilyn Monroe's glamorous sensuality in its direction. Fabric-like sterling mesh, opulent chains and voluptuous lengthy silver "pearls" which convert from flapper knots to four-wrap choker to bracelet or can be cinched with large whimsical charms as shorteners. Or a choker laden with 30 some sexy sterling silver pumps. A life-size spool of thread with onyx "hole" and real thread! Buckle brooches which give the effect of an invisible "belt"...a pair of silver eyeglasses which go over a jacket pocket..."a cup of kindness" hanging from a long leather cord. This collection is a tribute to the soft femininity which is woman's power.

Just hanging out with my family,my friends, my beloved New York City,original music, fashion and interior design,jewerly and accessory design,Workshop Boutique,singing and playing the violin, studying electric bass, creative writing (poetry and lyrics),architectural homes, antique billboards painted on the sides of buildings,cooking and baking and creating my own recipes, entertaining,sewing,learning,traveling, dreaming of traveling, creating a place where people feel at home,encouraging and supporting dreams, lending an ear, laughing til I cry,crying at beautiful songs, being sentimentally corny enough that people make fun of me and not caring if they do, daring to be different, opening the door to admire the lawn during rainy season, not using an umbrella, going barefoot, being alone on a Saturday night in my pajamas with popcorn and a Lifetime movie,trying to be kind even when it is the least natural progression at the moment,trying to walk in the light, being goofy, harmless practical jokes, maintaining the belief that true love conquers all and thanking God that I know how it feels.

I'd like to meet:

Costumers and stylists, fashion editors of magazines, other designers, musicians and old friends!

Music:

I'm a little prejudiced in this category. .but, okay...I will admit to having an hour and fifteen minute limit to certain jazz concerts (nothing to do with the brilliance of any given performer)--and don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about!:)

Movies:

I love so many movies, but am old-fashioned and have been known to put my drink glass up to my face to block violence and have fallen asleep in certain art films, making me look somewhat less than "intellectual", but I'd prefer to think I am "discerning".:) I also have a couple of favorite films which are probably uniquely my own--"Crossing Delancy" and "Obsession" among them.

Television:

Things that make me laugh or move me. But in an unplanned way--I'm not missing life to catch my "program" and nothing is so important that I have to record it if I am out with my friends or family. That having been said, I've recently discovered reruns of "Will and Grace"and it is giving me waay too many laugh lines.
