Daily facts, recipes, mythology and history. SOURCES: Many of the facts are compiled from multiple sources - dissertations & publications quoting the same research. Happy to provide a bibliography. RECIPES: Some are adapted for the modern day kitchen; many include sources and historical notes identifying more authentic ingredients.

Unleash your inner Wakandan Warrior with RockLove’s Black Panther Collection!

Our #BlackPanther jewelry collection is live! In official collaboration with @marvelentertainment, RockLove Jewelry is featuring seven unique pieces of jewelry directly inspired by Marvel Studios’ Black Panther. Ranging from necklaces, earrings, talons, and “Armor” rings, you can view the full Collection available now at RockLove.com

As a special project with Marvel Studios, top secret photos of the original Kimoyo Bracelet props were shared with RockLove Jewelry so that our own Allison Cimino (designer) could sculpt a screen-accurate replica. There are two exclusive, screen-accurate Kimoyo Bracelets available with hand-painted silver Wakandan glyphs and blue glow-in-the-dark enamel on the Prime Bead.

RockLove Jewelry partnered with Robyn Warren of Geek Girl Strong (geekgirlstrong.com) for a fitness style shoot featuring RockLove Jewelry’s Black Panther Collection!

Happy #TwinPeaksDay! Designing merch for Twin Peaks been a completely unique experience.  Chock full of repeated symbolism ranging from whimsical to ominous, the show includes a plethora of icons and unusual quotes, which have been the driving inspiration behind the jewelry collection.  And during the creation process, David Lynch himself reviews my proposals and gives feedback, yielding a compilation that feels more collaborative and true to the director's exacting vision. I'm excited to share the first round of pieces in tandem with Showtime's premier in May! - Allison of RockLove

Hi everyone!  MASSIVE UPDATES BELOW! I've been holding off on posting publicly until collections were ready to go live, but damn it, I woke up feeling great today and drank a lot of coffee...

RockLove is teamed up with MARVEL, DISNEY, and STAR WARS!  In creative collaboration with a couple major manufactures, this new venture allows me to design for some of my very favorite franchises without the limits of in-house production.  From gemstones and sterling silver to more affordable silver-plate, the first collection hitting stores is for the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY MOVIE!

But the news doesn't stop there.  RockLove has been working with David Lynch and Showtime for the new TWIN PEAKS and our friends at ThinkGeek for FIREFLY - lovingly handcrafted by myself and team in NYC, coming soon in April/May.

And for those fearing my own artsty stuff will go by the wayside, I have TWO new personal collections in the works.   Not ready to unveil, but unisex, chunky sterling silver and gems in limited edition runs... one inspired by a certain Parisian architectural element and the other by our upstate mountain explorations!

There we have it, phew!  So excited to share with you this new chapter! - Allison of RockLove

Brace yourselves, startorialists! On this day in history, the original Star Trek series premiered in 1966. To celebrate all the boldly going Star Trek has done since, today’s TBT will be a throwback/throwforward combination (given the Star Trek universe is in our future!) 

Kicking it off is this 50th anniversary jewelry collection from RockLove. Featuring everything from delta shields to Spock’s iconic IDIC Necklace to the Starship Enterprise itself. 

I feel my money boldly going already…

Star Trek 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition Jewelry by RockLove Jewelry.​

Designed and handcrafted in New York City, the collection includes sterling silver, sparkling faceted gemstones, cubic zirconia, and premium enamel.  More Limited Edition pieces to release closer to the holidays including 14K yellow gold and diamonds.

About collaborating with CBS and Star Trek, designer/jeweler Allison Hourcade says:

My parents are both academics so while we had music lessons and mountains of books... there was not a lot of television allowed.   However, when I was seven years old, my mum went to medical school and my scientist father used to let me sneak downstairs to watch episodes of Twilight Zone, Young Indiana Jones, and Star Trek.  Spock taught me about wisdom, Picard taught me about integrity, and Janeway taught me that a woman could do anything (especially when she's had her coffee!). Working with CBS and Star Trek is an homage to my father, and as the world celebrates 50 years of this iconic series, I celebrate a personal 25 years of life lessons imparted by their legacy.
