Why did CD Peacock create this collection?
We wanted to create the ultimate love letter to the city we have called home since 1837. Our roots in Chicago run deep, as does our love and admiration for all the magic and beauty to be found here, from the iconic architecture to the timeless works of art created here. But this isn’t just about our story–this is about sharing our love of Chicago with you so you can celebrate your unique love story and how Chicago played a role in it.
What is the story behind the collection name “To Chicago, With Love”?
We wouldn’t be who we are without the love of Chicagoans, and our love of Chicago. This collection is our way of sharing that with you, so that you can build your own love story about Chicago with beautiful jewelry inspired by, designed in, and made in Chicago. CD Peacock was founded in 1837, the same year Chicago was incorporated, so our histories are deeply connected to one another. To build on these roots, our in-house designer found inspiration in the city’s renowned architecture and landmarks, making “To Chicago, With Love” a collection that is full of heart and Chicago personality.
What is the inspiration for the collection’s designs?
When we look at a map of Chicago, we are looking at a map of our home. Chicago is defined by its iconic neighborhoods, each of which feature their own unique landmarks and history. As a business, we have had stores across various neighborhoods over the years, and we wanted to pay homage to the places that mean so much to us, as well as fellow Chicagoans. We wanted to tap into the personality of each of our featured neighborhoods to imbue each design in the collection with an authentic look, feel, and sense of place. These rings are wearable history, and the story is entirely customizable so you can define what Chicago, and these rings, mean to you.
