Connect to peace with an Around the World bracelet

coin charm bracelet by glass that says peace

Ahhh the World peace connection would be a dream come true. How can we inspire
peace and change around the world?

For me it starts with compassion and living from a place of love.
We are all human beings that want to be happy, feel seen and heard. No matter where we live
and what culture we come from.
 
When I look at and study the coins from this bracelet or any of my coin jewelry
I think about all the hands that have touched them. And whst their lives are like.
In doing so a feeling of peace washes over me. Let those quiet moments and
still thoughts live in our hearts long after.

Custom jewelry for a wedding officiate

bride groom & wedding officiate with custom jewelry

Special occasions call for special jewelry, right?!

My client was honored to be the wedding officiate for this happy couple!
She wanted coordinating colors and accessories to keep with the wedding theme - but also let
the bride remain front and center!

That's where I came in. Designing around a dress and event is pure creative joy!

 

rose quartz jewelry to match this dress

It all started with her dress. My client found this very feminine, softly layered dress, in a gorgeous
dusty rose, pink color. I knew at once that I'd be using feminine pink stones, pink crystal and silver.

The dominate stone is rose quartz which is known as the stone of - LOVE! How could I not use this?
The end result was a delicate layered necklace, a stack of airy bracelets and simple earrings that
lean toward an antique style. And I enjoyed every single minute of helping her prepare for this 
very special occasion!

If you have a special occasion or event, I'd love to help you too. Email here me to get started!

Jewelry to wear with turtlenecks

layered gold jewelry with a turtleneck

Turtleneck sweaters are cozy, practical and warm. They have evolved from the era of hiding
a love bite or hickey! Now a sleek turtleneck is a staple in any career woman's wardrobe.

The best jewelry for turtlenecks are long necklaces that aren't focused on your neck. With plenty 
of room to hang long these necklaces definitly add some flair. Imagine her outfit with no jewelry
on? It's all about the details!

Jewelry Trunk show Display at the Village Garden

Displayed jewelry and the designer

As a jewelry designer you never know what kind of store space will be available when doing a show.

When I was invited to set up in this artistic, eclectic outdoor garden space I was over the moon! 
Space for me was tight so I had to pack it all into one table. So..new jewelry display boards
were in order. 

By the way, if you should ever find yourself in Redondo Beach, California I highly recommend you stop by
the Village Garden. It is an enchanting experience  to walk through. Located smack dab in the
middle of the Rivierva Village. Plus it is available to rent out for parties!
