For fifteen years, Thornwillow has marked the passing of time in a decidedly old-fashioned way.

Each month of our annual desk calendar begins as an original design that is engraved in copper and individually stamped by hand on our historic presses. Every card passes through the press four times before being edge stained in gold and finished by hand.

Written during the remarkable creative period that produced The Beautiful and Damned and eventually The Great Gatsby, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz stands among Fitzgerald’s most imaginative works—a brilliant blend of fantasy, satire, and social criticism that continues to resonate more than a century after its first publication.
