Rustic rough crystal quartz. Great for wire wrapping. The amethyst is gorgeous!
The long necklace is the perfect layering piece. 

Awesome statement necklace for a summer wedding. The colors are so yummy! One of a kind. 

From Audrey to Punk...

I love it when a DIY project turns out exactly the way you want. Today I punked up my pearl necklace using gold safety pins to look like a Tom Binns statement piece. I got the idea from one of my favorite blogger, HonestlyWTF. It was really easy and fun.

All you need is a pearl necklace and gold safety pins (about 100-125). I used size 7/8 inch. Place a safety pin or two between each pearl. Then go back and connect 4-5 vertical pins with a horizontal one. Now you have a punk pearl necklace. Have a stuffy board meeting you need to attend, no worries just take the pins off and you are back to looking like Audrey.  Below are a few pics of my necklace. Oh, and if you don't want to DIY, you can always shell out a cool $1400 for an original Tom Binns necklace.

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

New Jewels...

I'm preparing for a big vending event this coming Saturday in Bethesda, MD. I'm super excited to see my line sister and other Sorors from my undergrad chapter! I am bringing my daughter along to help me at my table. While making new designs I always come across a piece here and there that I simply want to keep for myself. Currently the following are my personal favorites. They are available to purchase here.



Copper Butterflies on recycled copper chain earrings. I just love butterflies. These are very lightweight. Bohemian/Hippie style. These would look great at an outdoor summer festival/concert with a long flowy maxi skirt or cutoff distressed jean shorts.



Bright and Bold. Faceted tangerine jade gemstones with brass leaf components. Love these for a daytime garden wedding, outdoor patio lunch date, or hanging out poolside. Very resort looking.



Beautiful green and caramel agate gemstones. My photos really do not do these beads justice. Chunky necklace. Amazing for graduation party, after work cocktails, or bridal shower luncheon. I made matching earrings (if you are into sets).

Orchids...

Well I took a brief break from making big eye catching earrings to make a classic necklace with matching earrings. The pink gemstones are gorgeous and the pendant is brillant!

Yay me for getting the hang of html! The pictures on my blog will now be larger so you can see detail.




Thai Hill Tribe silver orchid pendant. Thai hill silver is 97% pure silver as compared to sterling silver which is 92.5% pure. You are getting a quality piece of jewelry.


Orchid pendant accented with pink/purple agate gemstones and a sprinkle of purple freshwater pearls. Necklace is finished off with a hammered sterling silver toggle clasp.




Matching earrings with sterling silver leverbacks.

The Winter Graduate...

Holiday Gift Suggestion: So pleased with this necklace! The pendant is a geode agate slice and it is amazing! The rock crystal quartz gemstones are beautiful. A great chunky statement necklace. Matching earrings can be made upon request. It's a prefect winter graduation gift. My son just told me this necklace is "cool."

The Block Is Hot...

Be the hottest hip chick on the block wearing these agate pendant necklaces. Simple but stunning. The colors are gorgeous! New and available here

She's Gotta Have It...

The pink is so vibrant!
The jade and amethyst are yummy!


You gotta have it...

It's Complicated...

Broken sterling silver chains tangled, twisted around red coral branches and turquoise gemstones. A great pair of statement earrings and an awesome statement necklace. For more photos, go to my etsy site. These are one of a kind and ready for immediate delivery!

Remember, I ship worldwide!!

KISS and TELL

This is one Kiss you want to Tell!

Vintage brass lip pendant attached to gunmetal chain with a lapis lazuli accent bead. Warning: You will have folks asking you, " where did you get that necklace?" A great Valentine's Day alternative to hearts! Now available in my etsy shop.

MUAH Necklace

It's sexy, it's quirky, it makes a Statement! I stepped outside the box on this one! This is my version of a Statement Necklace. Grab it, ya'll know, I never make the same thing twice! Just listed in my etsy shop.
