2024 Art Shows + Events!

WISH LIST PARTY!

The holidays are just around the corner, and we have a special event to help make your gift-giving wish list fun, stress-free, and tailored with your favorite Cheryl Eve Acosta designs! At our Wish List Party, you can try on and style your favorite jewelry pieces with the artist's guidance. You will then create a list, so your loved ones know exactly what your heart is set on for this holiday season and future celebrations.

After you choose your top jewels, we will handle the rest, by personally reaching out to your loved ones (with your permission) with the list you’ve made. This way, they’ll know exactly what you want, taking the guesswork out of their holiday shopping and surprising you with something you truly love! 

Swing by my studio at the KC Crossroads after a brunch date with your friends or before a dinner outing!  Please RVSP your spot and # of friends who are joining. Space is limited! Sparkling wine will be served during your shopping experience.

The store will be open for in-person shopping too.
