Nestled in the Rocky Mountains is a beautifully area only a few square miles called the Sundance resort. Started by Robert Redford, it boasts a relatively small ski resort (for Utah standards) surrounded a “village” of small shops, restaurants, and lodging. If you poke around outside the immediate resort, you will find ritzee multi million dollar cabins.

Part of Robert Redford’s Sundance “empire” is the Sundance Catalog which features handmade goods and accessories with a distinctly “earthy” feel. The Sundance catalog has a variety of diffferent products for your home and fashion interests.. For the most part (excluding things like the motorcycle), the products are designed and made by individual artists that contract their work to the Sundance Catalog.

The most popular product sold by the Sundace Catalog is the jewelry. Similar to the rest of their products, the jewelry seems to have a distinctly natural feel to it. For the most part, the handmade jewelry featured in the Sundance Catalog incorporates semiprecious stones like turquoise, labradorite, iolite, and amethyst with sterling silver and gold. Occasionally, you can find a piece or two with small diamonds, but nothing really over the top.

The jewelry in the Sundace Catalog seems to be very simple yet unique. The detail in the artists charms and pendants is pretty spectacular. They are typically very delicate and accented with neutral colors. Recently, it appears that Sundance has attempted to expand the range of style in their catalog without completely straying from their signature look

The most popular jewelry artist for the Sundance Catalog is Jes Maharry. She has a line of jewelry that is very original and has a distinct look. Many of her designs are nature inspired featuring horses, moons and stars, etc. Each edition of the Sundance Catalog typically features at least 5-10 of her original pieces. She can also be found in many other publications as well.

Obviously, the handcrafted jewelry found in the print catalog can be found at www.sundance.com. Here you can find current pieces of Sundance jewelry as well as jewelry that was featured in previous print catalogs. If you are looking for a unique piece of delicate jewelry that you can wear with just about any outfit, give the Sundance Catalog a try. Sundance isn’t always the cheapest priced jewelry out there, but then again…you get what you pay for.
