A little Sophistication..

Many of you loved the rainbow stone bracelet a few posts down, so I decided to do a more formal twist on the bracelet and add some wire-wrapping and chainmaille. I loved the first bracelet so much I made three more. Which one is your favorite?

1. Gemstone rainbow

2. Reds and Browns

3. Sea Blues and Greens

.. and matching earrings (more to come)

Textures and Turquoise

I love textured metal, and it is going to be huge trend this fall. Turquoise is also a hot accessory for the upcoming season.

And so I put the two together: lush turquoise ovals joined to textured rings and secured with a lobster clasp.

Anyone have lazy kids?

Meet Amazonite - a beautiful stone that is said to inspire self-confidence, improve self worth, and give hope (I was also once told it activates lazy teenagers).

I wire wrapped these delicate little stones into a simple but beautiful bracelet.

Don't forget the matching earrings :)

Turquoise Globes

I'm still struggling to get decent pictures of my latest earrings/bracelet duo. These little turquoise beads would rather roll around than lay still.

But - that makes them much more fun to wear.

These turquoise beads are no joke: they measure over 1/2 inch in diameter.

Citrine Sparkler

I stayed up until 2:00 am wire wrapping this gorgeous bracelet. Sunny citrine trios are connected with large gold-tone hoops and secured with a lobster clasp.

This bracelet sparkles in the sun like you wouldn't believe.

Arm Candy

This little gem is oh-so-lovely. It twinkles in the sun, looks fabulous, and matches basically every outfit.

Sparkling lemon quartz crystals and textured oval links encircle the wrist in this glamorous bracelet. Pair it with your favorite pumps for an ultra-chic look.

This little bracelet definitely gave me a few troubles while making it. I loved the lemon quartz from the moment I spotted it, but I was not sure how to best show them off. After wire-wrapping the gems, I connected them to the gorgeous textured oval rings with hard-core jump rings (I nearly lost a finger). I can definitely assure you, the only way this bracelet is coming off your wrist is if you do it purposefully.

I love how the organic textured oval rings complement the cut crystal. The textures are so different, but the size and shape pull it together. The design itself is so simple, but stunning. I love it when jewelry pieces can make a statement without being too gaudy!

Turquoise Tuesday

We are so happy to be back! And don't worry, we have brought back some fabulous new items. Check them out:

These new turquoise earrings are criminally chic. Gorgeous blue turquoise chips dangle from shimmering silver feather charms on sterling silver ear wires.

Which one is your favorite?

Lime Green and Silver

This necklace and bracelet set is smoking hot. Beautiful beads of sparkling green turquoise shine on a luxurious sterling silver chain to fashion this extra-long necklace. Our gorgeous bracelet features five beautiful matching beads of lime-green turquoise.





This summery necklace and bracelet will be sure to refine any outfit. Looks great with tropical fruity drinks and sun dresses.

Pretty Pearls

June is officially the month of weddings (I'm only guessing) and pearls are a classically chic way for a beautiful bride to glam up for the big day.

I love this bracelet and matching necklace (there are earrings too!). Delicate white coin pearls twinkle off a sterling silver chain in our ultra-chic version of the classic pearl charm bracelet and necklace.



I love the simplicity of the look - not too overdone (banish bridezilla) and classic enough that her future daughters will fight over it for their big day.

Citrine Sunshine

I have been in an all-out BATTLE with this bracelet for over 48 hours. First it was too short, then too long, the clasp wasn't right, you get the idea. I wanted it to be PERFECT...





And I outdid myself.

Isn't it gorgeous? Two strands of sparkling citrine sprinkled with 14kt gold-filled beads and finished with a 24kt gold-filled clasp.. it's breathtaking.

Cotton Candy

Meet the baby sister of Smoky Quartz, one of our original bracelets.

Her name is Pink Quartz, and she is a sassy little flirt.



This bracelet has a double strand of delicate cotton candy pink quartz sprinkled with sparkling Swarovski crystals.

Where would you wear her? What other colors would you love to see in this bracelet?

Fabulous Friday!

I love Swarovski crystals, but I've been a little timid to wear them.. Remember a few years ago when everyone was practically swimming in them? I would layer the bracelets on up to my elbows and always blinded my friends in direct sunlight. Thankfully, those days are over. The trend with Swarovski crystals now has a much more organic feel, and it is fabulous.

This bracelet dazzles without causing retina damage. It is just so dainty and sparkly!



These earrings are just to die for. The jewels are all wire-wrapped, which gives it that trendy handmade look while the clusters of crystals give it that I'm Completely Fabulous look.




This simple and elegant necklace is the dainty finale to our new crystal set. A duet of sparkling blue and topaz briolette crystals twinkle from a delicate etched sterling silver chain.

Luscious.

I L.O.V.E. this bracelet: sparkling sterling silver chain meets a dazzling canary yellow CZ drop. Just look at them - it's obvious they were made for each other.



I promise it's as fun to wear as it is to look at.
