Beverley K- Pearlmans

Good eye SDL!  Apparently Beverley K is the new name of Carl Blackburn's jewelry.

I copied and pasted this from Pearlman's site:

"As of Fall 2005, the Carl Blackburn Collection has been rebranded as the Beverley K. Collection. The jewelry is still handmade to the same expectations by the same highly-qualified artisans, just under a new brand.

Designer jewelry master, Carl Blackburn, has dedicated two decades of his life to the jewelry business. A native Californian,
with a filial reverence for both land and sea, Blackburn has an abiding respect for European traditions; his family roots trace back 600 years to medieval England.

These forces drive Carl Blackburn's vintage-inspired jewelry designs, which combine echoes of Medieval Europe—- boldly ornate crests and icons—- with delicate hand-crafted floral designs that capture the essence of nature in a manner that's identifiably vintage, yet somehow timeless.

Says Carl Blackburn, "Creativity and craftsmanship are everything to us. I never stop thinking about the next great design, or the newest way to improve the quality of our pieces even further. Each day that I come to the studio, it's all about raising the bar and taking it to the next level. For me, that's the greatest part of the whole experience. Truly, it's what drives us."

These days, so many jewelry manufacturers use the term "hand-crafted" that the words
have become almost meaningless. But at Carl Blackburn Jewelry, the original definition, made famous by luminaries like Louis Cartier and L.C. Tiffany, remains. According to Carl Blackburn, "The more human labor we can put into each piece, the more satisfied I feel that we have created an item truly worth owning. You can put any one of our pieces under a microscope and instantly see that it's been made by hand -- and not just by any hand, but by the hand of an artist."

Every Platinum Original by Carl Blackburn Jewelry begins with carefully selected diamond melee and a premium-grade platinum alloy mix. Then Blackburn's craftsmen go to work, performing each stage of the manufacturing process with the same level of artistry and care. The first stage is hand-filigree, a painstaking method whereby a strand of platinum is pulled to a precise thickness and length, flattened evenly, set into the negative spaces of the gallery of the piece, then finely welded so it appears suspended in space. The result is a delicate lace pattern reminiscent of fine antique embroidery. "
