The Wren Necklace. Onyx and Pink Agate. I do have matching earrings. An everyday necklace set. Would make a great graduation or Mother's Day gift.

I love this for several reasons! Great layering piece. Add about 2 more long gold chains to complete your look. It's rustic and organic looking. Lastly, the crystal quartz points are beautiful in person. Buy this one for yourself and wear it all summer! 

For Mom. Great for Mother's Day or lovely for a daytime wedding. The lemon jade pops! It's chunky and bold. It's the perfect piece to add a touch of color.

A great graduation or good grades gift. Add this bracelet to your collection and stack them up! I love a junky arm! Summertime is the best time to pile on bracelets. The added bling makes it perfect for daytime or evening.

If you know me, you know I love the boutique Anthropologie. I go there a lot to get inspired for housewares and jewelry. These hoops remind me of something that Anthro would sell. Perfect everyday hoops. Another piece you want to buy for yourself. Wear them to your next pool party. Yes, you still have to look cute at the pool.

Another raw rustic crystal quartz point necklace. I made the pendant and hammered it. I like this with a denim shirt or maxi dress. Hands down my favorite

Strands...

A few strands of beads I recently purchased. Tangerine Jade, Blue Agate, and African seed beads.





Made hoop earrings from the African seed beads.




A pair of brass hoops dripping with eye popping tangerine jade. The Pantone color for 2012 is Tangerine Tango.




Both are available for purchase here.

Gift Suggestion...

For the girl who wants the opposite of subtle. Glam Rock. Copper hoops with hematite beads and silver spikes. Start with these hoops if you are new to statement jewelry. Not subtle, but not too Lady Gaga outrageous. Get them for a cool $20. Save additional 20% with coupon code HOLIDAY20. Purchase them here

A very pretty orange colored wood beaded hoop earrings. Big, but lightweight.

Bone swirl components with avocado green czech glass beads. Green and chocolate brown: a great color combination for Autumn.

Tiger striped African wedding beads attached to copper hoops.

Cobalt blue African wedding beads attached to copper hoops.

Infinite Possiblities...

My fingers can not bend, crimp, hammer, or cut fast enough for all of the ideas I have for Sydney Austin Designs.



Got these pewter beads way back yonder. Just took awhile to figure out what to do with them. Tribal looking. Perks up a simple copper hoop.

Wood beads on a strip of leather. Love these.

Ladies, you need these in your life! Earrings do not have to match. Have some fun. The chain earring is very long, shoulder duster. The hoop is simple, very lightweight. Who cares if someone says, "You know you have 2 different earrings on...right?" Just say, "Yup" and keep it moving!

Oh yeah, I'm on tumblr. Still can't get the hang of it, cause I'm an html idiot. Need a HTML for dummies book. Check me out here

First up is a beautiful pair of shell hoop earrings with turquoise nuggets. Perfect for the babysitter or petsitter. A great gift for under $20. Hoops can be purchased here

Marrakech...

Another hip jewel from my "Sexy in the City" collection. Moroccan themed hoops. Bronze coral sticks with vintage cinnamon and bronze beads.

Not The Ordinary

Lately I have been challenging myself to create jewels that are not ordinary. I really let my creativity flow when I design earrings. If you have a great pair of hoops on, that is the only accessory you need, well... maybe a big ole' cocktail ring too!
