Topaz Boutique is delighted to announce its 1st Annual Spring Jewelry Show Series. Located between Harvard and Porter Squares, Topaz opened in Cambridge in June 2002 and has become known for its eclectic mix of colorful accessories, unique gift items, and most significantly, its collection of artisan jewelry in sterling silver and semi-precious stones. In every area, Topaz offers an assortment of both the traditional and the offbeat.
 

The store kicks off its 5th year in Cambridge with a series of jewelry shows featuring three local designers. Jocelyn Chemel, specializing in crystal and gemstone jewelry, and Sage Belber, a longtime designer of earthy creations, are area favorites, while Nicole Rueda-Watts with her leather and sterling silver designs will be enjoying her New England premiere at Topaz. Each show will take place at the store's 1702 Mass Ave location on a specified Saturday and will also feature guitarist Scott Wolf performing his brand of classical Spanish music.
