New styles of Jewelry that Rockers love to wear

When our designer collaborates with our favorite jewelry designer/fabricator the results are pendants that the men (and the ladies ) of Rock love to wear.

When coming up with ideas for new pendant designs we often have a specific Rocker in mind for prototype or the first piece of a new design. Joel Hoekstra of Night  Ranger has been a customer for years and as such we have some understanding of his style.

We co-designed our latest Fleur de Lis Pendant with Joel in mind. The design is a dark metal Fleur Design set on a semi-precious Dalmation Stone surrounded by jet hematite crystals in a dark metal setting. Here is a photo of yours truly with the guys from Night Ranger in which Joel is wearing his new pendant.

Night Ranger has several upcoming concert dates. They put on a fabulous show. Joel Hoekstra has also become part of TSO for upcoming East Coast Tour dates and continues to perform on Broadway and in the touring show of Rock of Ages. He is the busiest guitarist around!

We were recently asked to assist with the styling of Canadian Rock Band, SoulHeavy . Thinking about these guys style and wear they wanted to go with new stage wear got us thinking about a new type of Rocker Jewelry pendant. Dog Tags have always been a popular necklace design but I think that they are a bit too simple looking for a real Rocker and need something more to make them unique and edgy. To that end we just added four new pendant combos to our Rocker Jewelry offerings that are a combination of a metal design embellished Dog Tag with the addition of a Metal Pendant hanging together from a d-ring on a heavy metal chain (no cheesy ball chains here). We are loving these new designs, the first of each will soon be in the hands of the band members of SoulHeavy.  These designs are now available on TattooApparel.com for anyone that wants to rock their wardrobe with unique accessories.

Orange County Register Profiles Perpetual Vogue - TattooApparel.com

This week the largest newspaper in Orange County California profiled the Perpetual Vogue Store and TattooApparel.com in an article on their web site which will later run in the print version of the newspaper. Reporter Lou Ponsi of the Orange County Register came out to a recent photo shoot for the Perpetual Vogue Store along with his photographer. They shot some behind the scenes photos of the fashion photo shoot and spent some time speaking with the participants. Twenty of the behind the scenes photos are posted in a gallery on the Orange County Register's online version of the story.

Perpetual Vogue and TattooApparel.com schedule photo shoots for their fashions periodically using local models, photographers, hair and makeup artists. The photography team from Painted Pinups does most of the photography for the Perpetual Vogue photo shoots. Painted Pinups specializes in Pin Up Photography but their team does a great job with the fashion shoots for Perpetual Vogue and TattooApparel.com . For this most recent photo shoot hair and makeup artist Gianna Collica was on hand all day to keep the models looking great.

The models for this Perpetual Vogue photo shoot were Cody Gardner, Octavian Milano, Kellie Lauren Johnnie and Heath Cofran.
