bridal jewelry!


it's spring!
 a time of love and celebration...
birds are singing-
flowers are springing from the earth-
and girls are planning fabulous weddings!

just in time to bejewel you on you big, wonderful day!
pearly necklaces, earrings and bracelets 
for the bride, 
her bridesmaids and mothers of the bride 

the pieces were created as sets, but many may be mixed and matched- and if you want any of them in 18k gold- i would be more than happy do that!

this introduction is just the beginning to a long, happy and expanding line of bridal jewelry.... 
so keep checking my Etsy shop for additions!

bridal show

two days ago i displayed my brand new 
at saybrook point inn during their annual wedding tasting. 
twice a year, couples that have booked their weddings at the inn come to sample wonderful food and drink and take a look at what the invited vendors have to offer... 
it was a fun afternoon and i got a chance to connect with some very nice brides-to-be! 
hopefully some of them will be wearing my lovelies on their big day!!

pearls!!

it's wedding season!

this morning i'm at the bench doing some designing and i'm loving it! 
this, making brand new work, is my favorite part!! sure, it takes a while and ideas have to be worked up, then re-worked, then finalized into the beauties that will ultimately be released out into the world, but really, this is what it's all about!!
what i'm working on right now with all of these sweet pearls is 
a new line of  beautifully feminine, unique and reasonably priced 
bridal jewelry!

right now i'm in earring mode and i really like what i've come up with so far. white pearls, pink pearls, aquamarine and rose quartz are all included in these designs and they sure are pretty!
i've been invited to participate in a wedding showcase at the Saybrook Point Inn in Old Saybrook, CT for couples who are planning to have their weddings there. On March 22 they will come through to taste their menus and meet some special vendors (like me!) where i'll be offering all of my new pieces to view, try and order for their special day!

in a couple days i'll post some images of finished work and add them to my Etsy shop, but for now, i'm working away and excited about the next piece!
love is in the air!
ps. that super-cool neck adornment i'm wearing is my newest, favorite find from whosiepie!  go check out her fabulous clothing!!

tucson gem show!

look at these lovelies!!
i can't wait to get started on my spring-summer line!!!

the Tucson gem show was absolutely unbelievable and it took all of my self-control not to snatch up every gorgeous stone and bead I saw!!
i found some fabulous new materials that i can't wait to bring to the bench and get started working with, so keep an eye out for new designs, new colors and new sizes for the spring-summer!!
to keep the march doldrums at bay, brighten up your wardrobe with a stunning, one-of-a-kind from my 
it's just what you need until the flowers, warm weather and leiva spring-summer line arrive!!

another beautiful sunset in AZ... sigh
