Valentine's Jewelry

Honored

Just finished some bridal attendants gifts for a wedding. The bridesmaids' dresses were champagne and the bride wanted a simple, yet beautiful gift to give each special lady as a thank you for all they have done to support her and her wedding day. Once I saw the dress neckline, I realized there was no need for a necklace and we discussed earrings that could easily be worn after the wedding day. (By the way, kudos to the bride for choosing a dress that is super cute and wearable afterwards.) I love the cut of this Swarovski crystal. It is difficult to capture by photo, but the highly faceted disc shape is actually twisted, which makes for amazing sparkle.

Doing custom work like this is an honor and I feel very blessed to be a small part of one of the biggest days in a girl's life. And brides - custom doesn't equate to expensive. I work within your budget and style ideas, and come up with something you are comfortable with. Custom just means extra care and time was taken to make your jewelry pieces the perfect color, the right style and size, and something more meaningful than a mass-produced piece bought at the mall, that may not last or be worn afterwards. Each item is wrapped in coordinating tissue and organza gift bag at no extra charge.

I'm feeling excited about this brand New Year upon us! I'm setting goals and making lists to contain all my big ideas. Is it me or does it appear that each season comes a little quicker, especially in retail? I think they are speeding it up each year to keep up with our need to be a step ahead and have the lastest new thing. Spring designs are already out in stores. Winter is on clearance, even although it's barely begun. I'm cleaning out things in my home to streamline just a little more. That includes jewelry - so stay tuned for many pieces I plan to discount from last season. Right now I'm working on some great ski-related designs for a store close to Crystal Mountain (in the works, so that's all I can say for now). All those folks are living for winter to stick around as long as possible. LET IT SNOW is their favorite song!
