These earrings are the most fun ever....

These sterling silver earrings with pearls are the best! I know, they don't like like sterling silver right?? That's because I oxidized the silver using a multi-step process that causes the silver to turn black (or kind of a very dark charcoal color). There is just something about that black with the creaminess of the freshwater pearl that I love!

Black pearl jewelry + learning photography with new camera

Black pearl jewelry
It's a process, taking photos of my jnew jewelry. First the right camera (the phone is great for some things, like this candid shot, but for great photos, I had to get a new camera. I love this one but, you know, yes, there was definitely a learning curve! Not to mention the remote shutter release to get rid of that pesky shake that inevitably happens when I push the shutter release button on the camera itself. Finally got everything working yesterday and took the photo below -happy with it!! 

Those jewelry pieces will be on the website in February...or maybe before. Sign up for my email list so that you never miss new jewelry on the website!

Black Jewelry with Pearls!

black pearl jewelry
Slowly easing my way into 2020 and getting ready for a huge art show in Miami, Florida. The Coconut Grove Art Festival is one of the biggest in the country and this is the first time I will have my jewelry there so, yeah, I am kind of nervous about it! Not only that, but I am pretty short on jewelry to show there so I am in a little bit of a panic right now. 

Anyway, I used to make black jewelry with pearls a few years ago & decided to make some more of this jewelry. I love the combination of black, gold and pearls!

These brand new pieces will be on the website very soon so sign up below if you want to be notified when new designs hit the website!!

Black Jewelry with Pearls and Gold!

This is one of the very first pieces of jewelry I made using oxidized sterling silver as the base, with freshwater pearls (lots & lots of freshwater pearls), accented with gold. Definitely a learning curve learning to oxidize silver and get it as black as I pictured it in my head but I was finally happy with the result. Big black statment necklace with pearls! 

This necklace is available in my online store - Click here to check it out & shop!

Tip #4: How to Remove Tarnish from Silver

5/3/2019

 
This is a great tip to remove tarnish from sterling silver using what you already have around the house! Ready? 

1. Boil water
2. Loosely crinkle up aluminum foil...you know what I mean, right? Kind of crunch it together....
3. Press foil lightly into the bottom of a glass or metal pan or pot
4. Spread out the jewelry (link jewelry, silver chain bracelet, whatever you have that needs cleaning) on the foil, making sure as much of the jewelry as possible comes in contact with the foil
5. Pour boiling water over the jewelry so it's covered by 1/2 inch or so
6. Liberally sprinkle with baking soda, better too much that too little!

Let it sit like that for a little while & watch the tarnish transfer to the foil! 
Picture
If it didn't get as clean as you want, move the jewelry around, press it down a little bit, pour more boiling water and add more soda. Repeat as necessary! 

If you need to remove tarnish from silver (more than just a few pieces), do this process in batches.

Kind of like magic but, really, I guess it's chemistry?

Now, girl, go clean that tarnish from your silver jewelry!

Circle Jewelry

2/27/2019

 
Circles are such an important universal symbol and jewelry that incorporates this ancient symbol makes a statement for the wearer. The circle has long been a symbol of wholeness, infinity and unity among people. I am so excited to share with you some new additions to La Luna Collection - jewelry that uses the simple circle as it's core. If you want to read more about the circle as a symbol, go HERE to do that.

Black outfit with sterling silver and oxidized black byzantine bracelet
1.  Jacket from StyleBop.com 2. Tank Dress Gap.com 3. Black ballet flats from Amazon.co.uk   4. Canvas cross-body bag from Zaful.com  5. Silver and oxidized black bracelet from Laura Teague Jewelry

Black and gray can be so lovely!

The gray gives a little "break" from solid black but still looks fresh all fall into the winter! A little silvery touch would be nice too, for the holidays!

Black flats are so versatile and comfortable - I think this is a "must have" in your shoe wardrobe - what do you think?
