Brimfield Travel Diary

We're back from our trip to Brimfield, Massachusetts, the mother of all flea markets and America's largest antique show. We got up with the roosters each day to start our hunt for silver bangles, gutta percha, niello, coral, old diamonds and Victorian charms and lockets. We were enamored by one dealer's miniature book collection and another's black & white feather prints (coming soon).

Any trip out East requires a sampling of local treats: we went straight from the Boston airport for classic lobster rolls at Row 34; munched Faddy's apple cider donuts, ate giant chocolate chip cookies and drank fresh squeezed lime rickeys. A classic bacon-and-eggs breakfast fueled our days of treasure-hunting.

Everyone we encountered, from fellow Instagrammers to jewelry dealers shared stories, finds, and tips on navigating the market. We stayed in a hand-built cabin in the woods, Laurel Ridge Bed & Breakfast and returned with our bags full of one-of-a-kind gems and antiques.

Just In; B.C.E. Jewelry

We're excited to welcome B.C.E. Jewelry to Metier! 

Becca Cass's love for jewelry started when, as a young girl, her grandmother gave her a turquoise ring fabricated by her father. She began making her own jewelry in high school and her passion for jewelry grew after studying art history in college.  It continues today, where she draws inspiration from books on ancient civilizations, traveling and frequent museum haunts. The name B.C.E. Jewelry stands for Before Common Era and her craftsmanship strives to celebrate the inherent beauty in the natural stones and simple settings she predominately uses. All of  her pieces are handmade in her studio in Carmel Valley, California.

We have a new group of her collection on our site as well as some in-store exclusives. If you see something you like that's not listed on our site, give us a call 415-590-2998 or email us at info@metiersf.com.
