The coolest denim Desigual outfit with a long chunky chain necklace

whimsical denim outfit and long cool chain necklace

     Pairing my jewelry with Desigual, a brand that is about saying Yes to Life and expressing
     your authenticity through unique clothing has me doing a happy dance over here! I certainly
     share that view. 

     This very cool denim outfit and my Chain Reaction necklace are on display at one of my favorite
     retailers  - Clay and Cotton in Louiseville, KY. Be sure to stop in if you live in that area!

How to choose earrings for a busy patterned top

elongated abstract silver and black earrings

When you have a top filled to the brim with colors and patterns - you need simple earrings
to compliment and not distract.

This black & white checked top by Kyla Seo also has an array of embroidered flowers which makes
it very cute and quite busy. One of my favorite tips is to just choose 1 color from the pattern or print.

It's that simple. You'll be coordinated but not matchy-matchy. For more details on my 
Exclamation Point earrings shop here!

My favorite embroidered belt from Sundance Catalogue and layered purple necklaces

embroidered belt and purple gemstone necklaces

When it comes to embroidered flowers I'm in love! This belt from Sundance Catalogue is one
of my all time favorites. I've have it for years so I will say it is long lasting and holds up well. Those
warm wonderful colors make coordinating jewelry a lot of fun.

So any great colors would work with this belt. Greens, blues, purples, oranges and reds. I fell
in love with pairing my Amethyst Cluster necklace and Amethyst Collar necklace. They layer 
nicely together.

If you want to add some color to your wardrobe try a colorful belt and necklaces!

An essential oil bracelet that represents hope & optimism

When you need an extra dose of something to hold onto like hope and optimism- slip
on my Tickled Pink bracelet. The color pink is believed to represents this.

For more encouragment add a drop or two of your favorite essential oil onto the porous
wood beads to absorb. There is an oil called "Hope" that you can purchase from Young Living oils.
How easy is that!

Drinks with friends while wearing a chunky copper & brass necklace

She always likes wearing her necklaces a little bit longer. So we always add a few more inches
to most designs!. Did you know that I can do that for you too?! There will be an additional fee but
you get to have the exact length that you prefer. Just ask!

An extra long unique heart necklace

long leather chain mixed metal heart necklace

This ready-to-wear necklace became a cutom necklace! My client loved this necklace but wanted
it to be longer. When her birthday rolled around her boyfriend contacted me to see what we could do.

 Normally my Feel the Love necklace measures 18" long. I needed to make it 26" long but
also not distract from the design. I ended up hammering bars of bronze and used additional chain
on each side.  It all looked meant to be!

 

Essential oil bracelets use pungent plant base oils

arm with aromatherapy stack bracelets in the garden

Yes those oils that are used for aromatherapy come from plants. How wonderful is that?

The next time you are out on a walk stop and smell the plants! Better yet rub your fingers
on the leaves then sniff. That really opens up the scent. Look for a lavender bush, herb garden
or anything that catches your eye. It's surprisingly fun.

For the bracelets shown here the oil would be dropped on the brown wood beads. They
are porous and will absorb the oils. Just a drop or two is  needed.

Shop Home on the Range bracelet for more info.

What do great coffee and great jewelry have in common?

holding coffee & wearing chunky coin bracelet

Both of them - a really great cup of coffee and artisan jewelry are NOT a result of chance! They are well
thought out and carefully carefully crafted until it was just right. 

Believe you me I have had some nasty tasting bitter coffee. The kind that just leaves you with
bad breath and no enjoyment. And the same goes for cheap jewelry that is mass produced. It may
be satisfying for a moment but don't count on it to last!

This bracelet is made with beautifully designed coins from all over the world and all through the
years. These little tokens of art and history have so much character. This pieces will leave you feeling
connected to your brothers and sisters from foreign lands.
