Eiseman Jewels NorthPark Center announced the addition of Le Bungalow by Courtney Sinelli to its unparalleled selection of designer jewelry. The Dallas-based designer’s collection of Meet Me There bespoke key pendants are exclusively available at Eiseman and in store now.
“I’ve always believed that the most treasured jewelry tells a story—of a place, a moment or a feeling you want to hold onto. Eiseman Jewels has long been a trusted destination for exceptional craftsmanship and storytelling in fine jewelry—pieces destined to be cherished for a lifetime and passed down for generations,” Sinelli said. “Our shared philosophy of what creates enduring luxury makes Eiseman a natural home for my designs. Each piece in my collection is one-of-a-kind, exquisitely handcrafted and created for those seeking something truly extraordinary and personally meaningful.”
“We are so thrilled to exclusively offer Courtney’s collection to our clients. Le Bungalow’s personalized keys will complement Eiseman‘s growing collection of unique, personal designs. Anyone wearing one of these beautiful keys close to their heart will have their happy place close as well,” remarked Richard D. Eiseman Jr, CEO of Eiseman Jewels.
Sinelli’s inspiration for Le Bungalow started with a small bungalow on the beach in Westhampton Beach, New York where she spent her childhood summers. Decades later, that house remains a family getaway, where checking phones is forgotten and everyone lives in the moment. With her own favorite destination in mind, and after spotting someone wearing their own house key on a chain, the idea formed of using a key as a symbol to represent the special place in someone’s life.
From that initial idea to working with a Los Angeles artisan to help design the perfect key—Le Bungalow was born. Made with handset micro pavé diamond or sapphire numbers or letters on the front and engraved with “Meet Me” and your personalized destination on the back, each solid gold key, offered in three different sizes, is a one-of-a-kind, handmade treasure. The key might symbolize a vacation destination, a residence, a favorite city, street, a hotel, a memorable trip, wedding destination or honeymoon, or be the creative beginning of a marriage proposal or a gift to celebrate a special home. It is meant to be worn as a tribute to the places one loves and where they “check in.”
While the keys initially began as a way to represent beloved destinations, Sinelli is finding they are quickly becoming something more. The current self-named “key club” members have designed them with messages, tributes, family mottos, signs from the universe and everything in between. She recalls one made for a mother who lost her child in last year’s Texas flood tragedy, which has her daughter’s name in diamonds and “Meet Me Everywhere” on the back. The mother often writes about the signs she receives from her daughter, so her friends knew “Meet Me Everywhere” was the perfect sentiment. Or a “Meet Me At The Dog House” key was made for someone who wanted to represent her home full of beloved rescue dogs. Another requested “Meet Me At The Pub.” The creativity is part of the fun.
Sinelli has said, “I live for casual days on the beach. I also appreciate beautiful gemstones and fine jewelry (and an occasional party dress). This “90% palm tree, 10% chandelier’” lifestyle is the essence of Le Bungalow. Our signature keys are meant to be worn to the beach or to a dinner party. Wear them to keep your treasured destinations with you always, to celebrate memories made and as a reminder of the vibrant way of life these places inspire.”
