We’ve got something pretty extraordinary to show you! It's easy and accurate to state that Barbara Heinrich is one of the most prestigious studio jewelers in the Phoenix Shop's jewelry collection. For almost 30 years we have presented Barbara's 18 karat gold work, including her most famous series, The Milky Way Collection. We're proud to currently present some of Barbara's Milky Way Collection for the first time in a few years. The golden settings of diamonds and celest...ial symbols made Barbara a legend in Studio Jewelry circles and with her many customers. The jewelry has a texture and design that simply cannot be copied. Please contact us (831-667-2347) if we can provide further information on the Milky Way Series or any of Barbara Heinrich's pieces in our jewelry collection.

Can you look at the same thing from a new perspective and discover something new to love? Morning at Nepenthe, November 1, 2020.

We are very sorry to have to cancel our annual fundraiser for our local volunteer fire brigade, Big Sur Fire, due to Covid-19, but we do believe that the generosity of our guests and community at large can make up the lost funds we usually generate with this event by simply making a donation to Big Sur Fire directly. We’ve made it easy. There’s a link in our profile that takes you directly to our donation page. 100 per cent of your donation goes to Big Sur Fire. (Thanks to Andrea Bartholick Pace for the wonderful Halloween photographs - we’ve been sharing them here on Instagram and on Facebook over the last few weeks. Share yours too and hashtag them #balmasque20 - we’ll share our favorites!)

Good golly, I admit it! I was photographing a grouping of Goph Albitz "Simply Cool" rings for the Nepenthe/Phoenix website and they looked so good that I thought I'd share them with you too. You may know that Goph's jewelry has graced our cases at the Phoenix Shop for fifty one years. Oh, and this is just a taste....we have many more of his "Simply Cool" silver and gold rings in our current collection. Drop on by for a look or give us a call! 1.2 carat Ceylon Sapphire with a ...4 point white diamond. Size 7.5 $2100.00 1.40 carat Ethiopian Opal with a 4 point golden diamond Size 7 $2575.00 Nevada Turquoise Size 8 $1775.00 thanks again, B.

You can feel the change in seasons today! What a beautiful morning it is - light breaking through cloudy skies! The Cafe Kevah opens at 9am every day and is a great place to enjoy this amazing view, which never gets old.

Oh the times we’ve had! Oh the costumes we’ve seen! This year we won’t be hosting the Bal Masque due to Covid-19 and prohibitions on entertainment, but we do ask that you consider making a donation to Big Sur Fire anyway. This volunteer organization is a mighty force in our small community - serving not only our local population but our legions of visitors as well. Here’s how: https://www.nepenthe.com/bal-masque/big-sur-fire-donation

Big Sur Chamber of Commerce FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, October 15, 2020 Good news from Stan Russell, Big Sur Chamber of Commerce:... Hello Big Sur! USFS today has authorized the reopening of Day Use areas of Pfeiffer Beach, Willow Creek, and Mill Creek. And ... Limekiln State Park, Kirk Creek Campground and Plaskett Creek Campground remain closed until further notice. Enjoy the day!

If you haven’t already seen the new photographs the Phoenix Shop is offering, from our very own Caitlin Reclusado, today is the day! Every day for seven days @thephoenix.shop has launched a new special edition (limited to 10!). An exclusive to The Phoenix Shop. Caitlin is a sensitive artist, photographer, and writer. She has lived in Big Sur for many years now, weathering storms, road closures, forest fires, separation from society due to bridge failures and mudslides.... She has found beauty, solace, and companionship in her exploration of nature in Big Sur, in solitude and in grace. These images evoke tranquility and true seeing. If you have a place in your life for quiet meditation, spiritual reset, or going inward, think about adding a visual window into serenity. Check out @thephoenix.shop Instagram page, link in profile.

Bal Masque 2020 has been Cancelled Due to the Global Pandemic and the Monterey County Health Advisory prohibiting live music and entertaining, Nepenthe has made the difficult decision to cancel our Bal Masque. This annual event has been a fundraiser for our volunteer fire brigade, Big Sur Fire for decades! It is an event we always look forward to, and know you do too! We love seeing everyone show up in their creative costumes to enjoy the entertainment, dance the night aw...ay and feast on our famous Ambrosia Burgers! While we won’t be able to host the event this year, Big Sur Fire still needs your help. Please consider a donation to Big Sur Fire. A link to donate is in our profile.

Dining with us soon? What a great experience you have in store! Outdoor dining overlooking the sea, hawks flying below, clouds passing by - heat lamps table side if it gets chilly. October at Nepenthe.
