Valentines' Day is a day to celebrate all kinds of love, especially self love. Even though we can be our own worst critics, we also forget that we should also be our biggest cheerleaders. According to the National Retail Federation, “About 3 in 10 adults report they're not celebrating the day of love, though they may treat themselves to a small gift.” On a day that we are sorrounded by love, self love is the most important. So get yourself some flowers, make your favorite meal, and gift yourself some personalizerd jewelry. Cut + Clarity is a sustainable, personalized fine jewelry brand based in NYC. Oftentimes gifting jewelry on Valentine’s day is seen as a romantic gesture, something a man gives...

To the naked eye, it is hard to tell the difference between pure gold jewelry and gold vermeil. But time will tell with the quality of a jewelry piece and its effects on the environment.  Many jewelry brands offer vermeil as an affordable replacement to solid gold but it does not last! Gold vermeil tarnishes and is not as eco-friendly as solid gold, nor does it hold its value the same. This is why Cut + Clarity does not offer this option.  Our jewelry is made by local professional artisans in the Diamond District of NYC with 14k recycled solid gold and conflict-free diamonds. Our Gold Buyback Program keeps gold in a continuous life cycle - giving new life to inherited pieces or...

1. The average lifespan of a garment is only 2 years.  2. Plastic accessories can take up to 450 years to break down. 3. 85% of discarded garments end up in a landfill. 4.

“Growing up Latina in the Bronx, as early as I can remember I had this infatuation with owning a piece of jewelry with my name on it. I’d see girls with their names on hoop earrings, rings, necklaces, etc. They would ‘rock’ their name so proud, confident, and beautiful. I wanted that I wanted to own that - my own name - and who I am.”

“My daughter, C+C and the boobs necklace all came into this world simultaneously. As a woman, everyone wants to control and judge what we do with our bodies (especially Latina women!). The Boobs Necklace is a stand for women having full control of who we are and who we want to be without fear of being judged and regulated.” - Cut + Clarity Founder, Mariana Russo Chambers, C+C’s 2021 Summer Issue⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀It's National Breastfeeding week so let's talk about boobs. "Yes , breasts have become a sexualized commodity, and profit-hungry companies will use them for all they are worth." Our breasts have been censored, banned and scrutinized on social media. The last image in this post appeared on the front cover...

Chick Mission (CM) picks up where our system failed and overwhelming supports women! and THAT is a mission we stand by!Since C+C’s foundation- CM has been a partner of ours because our missions align. Their focus on supporting women’s right to fertility preservation when diagnosed with cancer is truly changing the trajectory of women’s lives!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This is their story:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Amanda was diagnosed with cancer 3 times before her 40th b-day. Her insurance would not cover egg freezing claiming she was not *YET* infertile by their standards. The lack of coverage was even more shocking given Amanda had fertility benefits on her plan. But the insurance company did not consider cancer a present day problem. They would rather throw money at the problem...

The start of this year marked an exciting time for me personally and with Cut + Clarity. For the last 12+ years through my consulting group, MRC Consulting, I have been the go-to person for jewelry development for brands, retailers and exclusive one-of-a-kind pieces. Cut + Clarity is a culmination of my career creating custom jewelry and I’m thrilled to bring that directly to you. This New Year transported me back to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I was born. I had the opportunity to partner with another female empowerment brand to launch an exclusive collection of Body Chains. The collaboration "Cut + Clarity for Rossi Tuxedos" debuted at the High Summer Fashion Show in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The show...
