l’atelier des bijoux

My Simone earrings were featured as part of lillyella’s Couture du Jour series today!

My Gemma earrings (now sold out) were featured on Etsy’s front page over Thanksgiving, along with several {NewNew} team members.

I made my first ring last night, and I just had to share!  Please excuse the poor quality of the photograph…

Nora ring

This ring coordinates with the Nora necklace, and includes pink amethyst, london blue topaz, amethyst, apatite and mystic green quartz on fine silver.  Keep an eye out for more to come!

No, not mine.  I got some beautiful wedding photos from a lovely customer who purchased a custom pair of Adélaïde earrings in gold.

Oh.

It’s Max.

My August Virgo zodiac necklace was featured in the Etsy Finds Weekend Deals email and Storque (blog) post last weekend.  I sold 29 zodiac necklaces in three days!  Not to mention a few other items here and there.  It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized by Etsy, but it’s also a bit frustrating that the only way to get that kind of exposure is to somehow be noticed among the thousands of sellers.  I’m glad I was this time!

I was featured over at Indie Craft Corner today.  Thank you Lisa!

A bride recently placed an order with me for eight pairs of earrings for her bridesmaids.  Here are some photos of the order being packaged.

All the pieces laid out

Halfway there

All done!

Click on the photos to be linked to them on my Flickr photostream.  These pictures were taken in my lovely new studio.  Stay tuned for photos!

I stumbled upon Smashing Darling a few months ago, and yesterday I opened my boutique there.  Smashing Darling is “the online destination for anything new and emerging fashion, bringing together independent fashion designers with individuals who seek a unique fashion edge.”  I’m reserving judgment for now, but it seems like a pretty cool site.  Hopefully this will expose my work to a whole new demographic!

I was recently accepted to Trunkt, which is a juried online portfolio site.  It’s supposed to be a great venue for retailers to find you.   I was really excited, because it’s supposedly very difficult for jewelry artists to be accepted.  The main criteria for acceptance is quality of photographs, which I have been working on lately, so I was very happy.
