Visit O.C. Tanner Jeweler’s Home & Lifestyle department for truly unique home décor and accessories. If you’re looking for the perfect gift to celebrate special occasions, the third-floor department brims with treasures for weddings, successes and holidays.
Highly curated, the department always has new offerings from well-known and recently discovered designers and artisans. “We attend several markets a year to find the perfect items,” says Bob Martin, Home & Lifestyle buyer. “We place a premium on exclusivity and have personal relationships with many of our partners.”
O.C. Tanner is the exclusive retailer in Utah for Terrafirma Ceramics, a working pottery studio in New York City that designs and produces handmade pottery, dinnerware and table settings. Artist Ellen Evans starts with unique shapes and natural stoneware. She then creates patterns by painting liquid porcelain through textiles and lace. The warm tones juxtaposed with vibrantly colored and patterned porcelain surfaces creates a casual yet sophisticated look.
“Don’t be afraid to mix it up. For example, pair an expensive vase with casual dinner plates. Blend patterns, textures and colors. The balance of yin and yang makes people comfortable.” – Bob Martin, Home & Lifestyle Buyer

FRESH IDEAS?
Use the new neutral: mocha. We’re loving a fresh color palette that evokes the season by complementing rich brown with chestnut, charcoal and black. It’s really quite stunning.
