Some traditions become part of the rhythm of Dovecote — and Ann Lightfoot’s trunk show is one of them.
For over 15 years, Ann has been making the trip to Fearrington, arriving with a car quite literally filled to the brim with jewelry. Every time she pulls up, we know we’re in for something special.
Ann Lightfoot’s designs are known for their effortless layering, luminous pearls, hand-selected stones, and signature mixed-metal touches. Her pieces feel collected rather than manufactured — timeless but never predictable. There is a softness and femininity to her work, yet each design carries presence and polish.
What makes her jewelry so beloved is its versatility. A simple strand of stones can be dressed up for an evening at The Fearrington House or worn casually with denim and a crisp white shirt. Her necklaces layer beautifully. Her earrings frame the face without overpowering. Her bracelets mix and stack with ease. They become part of your everyday uniform — not just something you save for special occasions.
And then there’s Ann herself.
Having the designer in store makes all the difference. She brings extended collections, one-of-a-kind pieces, and styles we don’t normally carry — often unpacking treasures that never make it to the website. She loves helping clients restyle pieces they already own, creating new combinations and fresh looks from what’s already in their jewelry box.
If you’ve attended before, you know how special this weekend is. If you haven’t, this is your moment.
Join us Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at Dovecote Style to explore Ann Lightfoot’s latest creations — and perhaps discover your next forever piece.
