In Full Bloom


This stunning pendant was handmade by Bloom Studios and features an absolutely stunning petal shaped pinkish-red ruby nestled in a 14k gold bezel setting and then surrounded by burnished sterling silver. Orchids are one of my favorite flowers, so delicate and beautiful, yet sturdy and powerful. This necklace is a wonderful combination of all these traits! Only $98! See more nature-inspired designs HERE.

Feeling Sentimental


We are heading down to Dayton today for my husband's grandmother's funeral. So, I am feeling a bit nostalgic and saw this beautiful vintage inspired locket by Jewelry by Alison. One-of-a-kind, the necklace features small treasures attached to vintage chain. I especially love the peruvian blue opal stone (same color as grandma's eyes) and the beautiful floral engraved vintage locket...perfect for putting a picture of your loved one inside and close to your heart.

Etsy Front Pages!

Wow! I was on the front page of Etsy five times in the past 24 hours (which shows how often they are changing their front page these days!) All of the treasuries are so beautiful and cool...and totally different. I love that pieces of my jewelry were able to fit into all of these cool themes!






This one above has a cool black, gray and green theme going on...my Moonlight earrings are the first one, top row!






This one above has a cool black, gray and red theme going on...my Hot Toddy necklace is the first one, third row and my Kiss Me necklace is the middle one, second row!







The one above has a warm earthy feel to it...my Deep Sea necklace is the first one, second row!



The one above has a lush color palette of aquas and pinks...my Gypsy necklace is the third one, third row!




The final one of the day featured bright pops of magenta and chartreuse...that is my Limelight bracelet in the middle, top row!

Deliriusly Beautiful


Belarus natives Iyra and Katya are the New York based designers behind Delirius, a new unique, cutting-edge collection of clothing. Made from ultra-soft and feminine fabrics, all of the pieces have stunning silhouettes with unexpected trims and embellishments. Some of my favorites are the micromodal dresses...flowy and feminine and slightly punky and off-beat with the addition of chains by the back and straps. I also love the beautifully draped tops accented with brocade collars...such a traditional, slightly old-fashioned fabric, made entirely fresh when paired with the flowy tops. A very neutral color palette makes the entire collection totally wearable. Also, all of the designs are unique yet extremely flattering and body conscious, flirty and chic. See the entire collection HERE.
