Nature color inspiration for a pink bracelet

wearing pink gemstone bracelet in golden wheat field

I see pink as a feminine cheerful color. So when out strolling on a trail and passing by this field of
wheat I saw the gorgeous contrast of how my pink bracelet looked with gold and brown earthtones.
It lets you add  some fun color to your Fall wardrobe. 

Even my hammered copper ring blends right in with this unexpected color scheme. A color scheme
that was just staring me in the face! A new way to bring into Fall or just earthtones in general. For
those who haven't been a fan of pink, this might change your mind!

There are 2 sides to every coin - especially on a necklace

1943 Indian coin necklace with pearls on a seashell

 "There are two sides to every coin" typically means you can't have the good part
of something without it's bad part. Not necessarily so when it comes to coin necklaces. Ha!
I absolutley love the unusual shape of this one. And talk detail?! This one has plenty.
Now how about the other side of this coin?

The flip side of this coin is just as good. It's a fabulous coin hands down. I love the
age old patina on the coins and did a very light polishing just to highlight that artwork.

So in the case you get 2 very good sides of the coin:)

Gardens are peaceful and hearts are for love. So being in this plant filled space with a heart necklace

nervous system and make room for some love. My strong love necklace is bold and won't let you forget!

Behind the scenes with riveted metal heart jewelry

Sometimes my work space requires the fresh air outside. During this stage where my hearts are made
I used a sealant that needed to dry - on both sides. And how bout that "jewerly clothsline" of mine?!
I love it and my husband made it for me, being the clever guy that he is. Hanging on the line now are
actually several of my heart necklaces. Big and riveted, small and dainty and open hearts too.

Copper jewelry blends well with Fall Fashion

three hammered copper cuffs on white wood

Copper metal with its brownish orange earth tones blends right in with all things Fall.  This set of three
cuff bracelets are warm and rich. Copper looks great with olive greens, mustard yellow sweaters,
chocolate brown jackets, anything black and always blue jeans and denim.
Copper jewerly feels like Mother Earth. 

Yes copper can react to humidity and in some people cause some greening on the skin. It washes right off
and is just part of the element of copper. And...it also happens when females are on their period!

For the love of denim and heart hoop earrings

silver heart earrings with denim

Without a doubt two of my favorite things are denim and hearts. So heart hoop earrings were born.

Thinking back on that very first pair of jeans. Levi jeans. This was in the late 60's. I was with my
older sister . She was my idol. But those jeans! The were stiff as cardboard, deep and dark. Not like
my sisters that were soft and well worn. But patiently I waited, wored, washed and repeated...

I still love blue jeans and denim. And hearts are hard not to love. They are everything. No matter 
what material, style or design I will always love hearts. So the second I made these earrings
I thought how cute with denim;)
