I Dream of Cassidy

Cassidy Hummel Jewelry

You often wish you could put your arms together, blink, and — poof! — be perfectly accessorized head to toe.

Life may not be a kitschy ’70s TV show, but you can have a jewelry genie all your own: Cassidy Hummel.

The vintage jewelry purveyor earns the self-bestowed title with her truly magic touch for finding the rarest, most beautiful, most suitable baubles for any occasion. She travels the world from Argentina to West Texas in search of her quarry, be it a beautiful Cartier rose gold and garnet brooch, a dazzling 18-karat gold Bvlgari pendant, or an intricate Indian cigar band ring (perfect for sitting poolside under an umbrella).

Everything you see will be the real deal, so be prepared to pay for the magic — Hummel doesn’t believe in costume.

So lose the harem-pants-and-halter-top fantasy while you’re at it.

Available at Forty Five Ten, 4510 McKinney Avenue, Knox/Henderson (214-559-4510). To make a private appointment, call 214-507-8383.
