Accentuate the Positive

Accents Jewelry Design

Ruh-roh. He’s started to go all gooey at weddings. And that twinkle in his eye, those knowing looks he shoots you whenever the words “holy” or “matrimony” are uttered … they’re all pointing to one certainty.

He’s thinking of picking out the engagement ring without you.

Not to worry. Just take him for a “casual” stroll down Main Street in Santa Monica, where you will just “happen” to stumble across a little store called Accents.

Owned and operated by surfer/artist/jewelry designer Steven Hanna, Accents is where to find (or create) the ring you covet. And Hanna’s exquisite designs for the matrimonially inclined are just the beginning. The store also showcases more than 30 lines of necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and noncommittal rings by dozens of artists, many of them local, many of them Fred Segal-bound. Plus, Accents does custom orders (at no extra charge!) of one-of-a-kind pieces in sterling silver, gold, or platinum. Yes, including engagement rings. Bonus: Mention Daily Candy and get 10 percent off your purchase.

Happy now? Of course you are.
