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!
I was featured over at Indie Craft Corner today. Thank you Lisa!
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.
You can see my portfolio here:
ruby and gold
The Becca necklaces are a line of chic and understated necklaces comprising three vibrant gemstones on a delicate sterling silver or 14-karat gold-fill chain — subtle enough for everyday wear, but glamorous enough to complete your evening ensemble.
I first made this necklace in sapphire and silver to go with the Audrey earrings, which I was planning to wear to a party. I found myself wearing it about four times a week, so I decided to expand it into a full collection. This necklace is very me — I love simple, delicate jewelry!
sapphire and silver
So far, the Becca necklace comes in: amethyst, black onyx, carnelian, citrine, colombian emerald, freshwater pearls, garnet, lapis, prehnite, ruby and sapphire (whew!). I haven’t listed them all yet, but I plan to do so over the next week or so. I have plans to expand the collection to include all birthstones (right now I only have January, February, May, June, July, September and November). I’m also planning to offer a custom listing with the option to choose different birthstones and put them on the same necklace. I think that would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift!
I have plans for several other new collections, so stay tuned!
