New silver earrings - inspired by Zion National Park

6/14/2021

 
These silver "triangle" earrings were inspired by the slot canyons in southern Utah & other places in the western, which are incredibly dramatic and beautiful. I have missed traveling so much over the past year - looking forward to visiting a few of these remarkable canyons in just a few weeks!!

NEW! Jacks Silver Drop Earrings with Opal Quartz!

5/22/2021

 
What a gorgeous day it is here in south Louisiana! We have had a TON of rain this week....I think here in Baton Rouge we had something close to 18 inches of rain. Lots of flooding of roads, homes and businesses. Not us, thankfully. Our home is in a very old neighborhood in Baton Rouge so it relatively "high" for this area! 

These are brand new earrings made in the "jacks" style but I added this beautiful faceted blue opal "quartz". Some people call it quartz but I think it's more likely manmade. Whatever it is, it's really wonderful. It reflects whatever color you are wearing, sometimes blue, sometimes pink or another color!

Silver & Quartz Minimalist Earrings

5/20/2021

 
These silver and quartz drop earrings are really hard to photograph, I think because of the crystal clear quartz. I love quartz - it has always been a favorite of mine. I was born and raised in Arkansas, which is where a lot of quartz occurs. So, I grew up with quartz all around me - it's one of the reasons I like rocks of all sorts - I guess rocks remind me of home! (Here in Louisiana, few to no rocks anywhere!)

Freshwater Pearl Silver Arch Earrings - NEW!

5/15/2021

 
More from the brand new (and still developing) National Parks Collection! These silver earrings were inspired by the National Parks of the U.S., especially Arches National Park in Utah! Freshwater pearls or clear quartz crystals! 
Arches are one of the most important architectural discoveries in human history and they can be seen in any city in the world!

NEW! Silver Triple Arches Earrings

5/14/2021

Missing being able to travel! National Parks are kind of a passion for us and we have not had our "fix" of parks in over a year. With that in mind, these earrings were designed as a tribute to those fabulous archways that occur in so many National Parks in the western U.S.

NEW! Arches Earrings with Pearls and Opals

5/13/2021

 
Picture
Part of my new collection, inspired by National Parks of the US. I have missed (and still miss) traveling so much over the past year and a half. One of the things we love to do is visit national parks in the western US. 

One of the natural features you see in many of the parks is the archway. Eye candy! 

Plus, two of my favorite "gems" - freshwater pearls and "opals" (in all honesty, these are called "opalized quartz but, between you & me, I think they are glass but, who cares, really. They are amazingly beautiful!!).

What I did during Covid: Part 6, I took mini road trips

4/7/2021

 
Picture
We have taken lots of "mini" road trips in the past year. We love to travel and, with our sons living several states away, we missed that a lot so we started taking day trips. 

One of our favorite places to go was Ponchatoula, LA. At just about 45 minutes from our home, it was an easy drive and provided a nice place to walk around and window shop the antique stores. 

Another favorite was Ann Brown Preserve near St. Fancisville. This place seems like an undiscovered gem, providing a nice easy walk in the woods and the terrain is hilly!!! What a concept.

What's new?  Zippered Jewelry Bags!

11/28/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love zippered bags! I love 'em big, I love 'em small, any size at all, that are always useful for something! It's been so much fun making these bags in all sorts of fun Christmas fabric. The fabric is kind of "recycled" or, more accurately, saved from the trash bin. These is a small fabric store that has little ends of bolts and other small scraps from their own projects that would otherwise be thrown away. I love to search through and pick up some of these pieces and give them new life. So, that's recycled but new fabric, right?  

Oh, and that tassel! Do you love tassels as much as I do? The tassels on the new bags can be used to decorate any bag or purse or on your keychain for a little extra something!

Anyway, go here if you want to check out the bags. I'll be adding more bags each day so come back & see what's new!

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!

Do you remember those carefree days of childhood, when we felt a sense of joy around the simple things we did for entertainment - like making necklaces from clover or daisy flowers? Those are the days I was thinking about when I designed this jewelry collection - I wanted to put that feeling of joy into jewelry that you could wear everyday and be reminded of another place and time as you go about your day!

I just read "Joyful"!

6/11/2019

 
I had been hearing about this book for awhile so finally decided to buy it and I am so glad I did! 

The author identified 10 things that can elicit joy: vibrant color, lushness, nature, symmetry, spheres (which she calls "bubbly forms"), contrast, lightness, invisible forces, sparkle, curving shapes. Ok, so I am paraphrasing a bit here, but those are the joyful things! 

One of the most interesting and fun things the author suggests is to keep a "Joy Journal"  to just identify where/when/with whom you are currently finding joy in your life. 

I am planning to reread this book because just one read through doesn't do it justice!

​Have you read it? If not, consider it  - i"ll bet you'll enjoy it!

Freshwater vs. Akoya Pearls

5/27/2019

 

What is an akoya pearl?

I have been reading up on akoya vs. freshwater pearls because I LOVE pearls and I wanted to find out about all these different types of pearls. Bottom line? Akoyas are saltwater and are grown in Japan. Freshwater pearls are from China and are grown in fresh water! Oh, yes, one more thing, freshwater pearls are WAY more affordable than akoyas and, besides that, they are beautiful! For my money? It's freshwater pearls, all the way!

Different Types of Pearls

So Many Different Kinds of Pearls!

Picture
So many lovely pearls! Here are the five types of pearls:

​Freshwater Pearls
Akoya Pearls
Tahitian Pearls
Imitation Pearls


See Pearl Jewelry
Freshwater pearls, which come from rivers and lakes in China, are the most popular of all types of pearls. Although they come in a huge range of colors, I work almost exclusively with white or cream pearls; these more natural pearl colors have been so popular, especially when paired with sterling silver! A classic combination! Click HERE to see all the freshwater pearl jewelry!
