ON PRETTY UNUSUAL JEWELRY. ANTHONY: VISITING WOLFEBORO, ONE MIGHT PERCEIVE A CERTAIN WELL-HEELED PATINA FROM BREWSTER ACADEMY, THE EXCLUSIVE BOARDING SCHOOL WHICH ALIGNS THE MAIN BOULEVARD TO THE MANY ESTATES OVERLOOKING LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE. ONE OF THOSE ESTATES BELONGS TO MITT ROMNEY WHO WAS IN A NORM IS HIT IN THESE PARTS IN 2012 -- WAS AN ENORMOUS HIT IN THESE PARTS IN 2012. WOLFEBORO’S DOWNTOWN SHOPS PORTRAY AN EMPHASIS ON SIMPLE AND BASIC. WITH THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF THE CAL A GALLERY, FEATURING THE EXTRAVAGANT ARTISTRY OF JEWELRY DESIGNER JENNIFER CALLAN. >> I TEND TO BE CONSIDERED A PAINTER VERSUS ATYPICAL BENCH JEWELER. ANTHONY: THERE IS NOTHING TYPICAL ABOUT HER WORK. HER PALATE THESE DAYS CONSISTS PRIMARILY OF AUSTRALIAN BOULDER OPALS FRAMED IN 22 KARAT GOLD WITH THE OCCASIONAL DIAMOND OR RUBY ADDED IN. >> IT IS A STONE DRIVEN LINE. EACH OF THE STONES, THEY ARE SQUARES, OVALS, ASYMMETRICAL STONES. FOR ME, WHEN I’M PUTTING TOGETHER A PIECE, WHAT I AM TRYING TO CREATE IS OUT OF IMBALANCE, BALANCE. A MILLIMETER SHIFT OF A PARTICULAR STONE SO THAT THAT SHAPE IS MORE OF A BEAUTIFUL LINE. AS FAR AS COLOR GOES, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE HE DOES NOT BECOME GAUDY. YOU WANT IT TO REALLY BE ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL. THAT PURPLE, IF IT IS TO PURPLE AND THE MAGENTA WAY VERSUS THE BLUE WAY, IT MATTERS. IT REALLY IS A DANCE BETWEEN THOSE TYPES OF ELEMENTS THAT YOU WORK WITH. OPALS FROM AUSTRALIAN MINER BILL CASO, SEEN IN THIS FILM MADE BY CAL IT HERSELF. >> I HAVE ALWAYS USED OPAL, ’VE ALWAYS BOUGHT OPAL. BUT ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, WE STARTED DATING AND SO NOW I HAVE AN ENORMOUS SUPPLY OF OPALS. I GET FIRST PICK. SO IT IS A LOVE AFFAIR OF BOTH. ANTHONY: THAT COLLABORATION IS A BOON TO CUSTOMERS. MANY OF WHOM ARE NOW LOYAL COLLECTORS AND MANY OF THEM HAIL FROM NEW YORK CITY. >> THERE’S A LOT OF MANHATTAN THAT ABIDES BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE THE FIRST -- THAT A BUYS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE THE FIRST. ISL TO A LOT OF WOMEN WHO ARE VERY -- I SELL TO A LOT OF WOMEN WHO ARE HIGH-POWERED EXECUTIVES, LAWYERS, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO PURCHASE SOMETHING NEW. THEY WOULD HAVE ABOUT PICASSO BEFORE PICASSO WAS PICASSO. THESE ARE MY CUSTOMERS ARE THOSE PEOPLE LIVE HERE TOO. THAT’S WHY IT WORKS. ANTHONY: WHILE JENNIFER CALLOW HAS LIVED IN ALASKA AND ARIZONA AMONG OTHER PLACES, SHE IS A NATIVE OF WOLFEBORO, NEW HAMPSHIRE. >> I ENDED UP WANTING TO STAY HERE SO MY KIDS COULD GROW UP IN THIS AREA. I GREW UP ON THE LAKE. IT’S HARD TO LEAVE THE LAKE WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED ON A LAKE. IT HAS BEEN A GOOD TOWN TO ME. THE COMMUNITY IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE ARTS HERE. THEY REALLY LOVE HAVING ARTISTS IN THIS TOWN, THEY SUPPORT US. SHAYNA: THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MUCH DOES AN ORIGINAL JENNIFER KALITTA COST? ANTHONY: THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. PRICES CAN BE AS EYE-POPPING AS THE PIECES THEMSELVES. SHE ALSO HAS POTTERY AND OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE STORE THAT ARE AT LOWER PRICE POINTS IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THAT OUT. THAT’S CHRONICLE FOR TONIGHT. THANKS FOR JOINING US. SHAYNA: HAVE A GREAT EVENING. WE H
