Tuesday Mist - Hand Forged Sterling Silver and Labradorite Earrings



Sometimes the ordinary moments in life are the most beautiful. Inspired by the cool, misty calm of everyday mornings or afternoons in the forest, these uncomplicated, beautiful earrings will make a striking addition to any outfit, from jeans to a formal gown. Huge, high quality, incredibly flashy labradorite drops form the focal point of these lovelies, and are wire wrapped onto lightly hammered, hand-forged earwires. Not for the faint of heart, these bold gemstones alone (before wire wrapping) measure approx 19-24mm tall by 14mm wide. Gorgeous!

Each pair of labradorite gems are hand picked for quality and beautiful flash. Flattering on every face, these flashy gems draw attention up to your lovely eyes. You'll adore wearing them!

"Way Leads On to Way" - Hand Forged Stacking Rings in Sterling Silver and Gemstones



One of the things I love most about life is that, for each of us, the journey is unique. Seasons come and go for everyone, but no two of our stories will be alike. We travel through life and experience the ups and downs, twists and turns, changes made by our choice or despite it, and if we're lucky we have moments when we can look back and see a purpose around the bend, discovering that we're on a path we were destined to follow.

Inspired by Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken,” the unusual design of these stacking rings symbolizes the individual journey we each take. The side of each ring is left open to represent the paths we have left to travel and the pieces of ourselves left to uncover. These have been a favorite with every "test subject" (ie, friends and family forced to try out new designs) so far!

The rings are hand forged in solid sterling silver with genuine gemstones, hammered, with an organic brushed finish. Lovely alone, in sets of 2 or 3 or 4, or collect all 9 to create your own stylish compliment for every outfit in your wardrobe.

With an open side, the rings are also adjustable to fit you perfectly. Include your size at checkout, and we'll send them already sitting at your size (no size restrictions - we'll make them for you in any size). The rings are available individually so that you can mix and match to create your perfect set, as unique and beautiful as you are!

Lyla Bracelet - Genuine Druzy and Sterling Silver



A large, sparkly genuine chalcedony druzy in lilac nestles in layers of wrapped sterling silver wire on this hand forged solid sterling silver bracelet. The druzy on this piece is just fantastic - all the natural, tiny crystal formations create hundreds of facets that shimmer in the light! Simple and chic, even more striking in person.

Rebirth - Necklace with Oxidized Sterling Silver and Reclaimed Glass



The reclaimed glass used for this piece was originally found in broken bits on the side of the road. Someone found these pieces of thrown-out "trash," cleaned them, tumbled them, and formed them into these beautiful and unique frosted glass beads. Wear it as a reminder of all the positive change around you - things that you choose to renew, growth in yourself or the lives of others, or times when change has brought new and wonderful things into your world.

Simple and chic, the reclaimed glass hangs on a delicate sterling silver chain, oxidized to a rich grey patina. The chain measures 17 inches - happy to alter length upon request.

Jasper Necklace - Bold Version



Dark, mysterious, breathtakingly beautiful.

The original Jasper necklace design was so popular that I wasn't sure if I'd have the chance to bring it to you online! The entire first collection of Jasper necklaces were all snatched up by friends and family, and this was also one of the most popular designs at TwiCon, selling out within a day of being put on the table.

One of my favorite gemstone suppliers was able to help me find more of the perfect stones, and I was so happy to be able to make this gorgeous design available to you online. The Jasper jewelry has continued to be a fan favorite, and it makes sense - the collection is gorgeous!

So when I saw a strand of these enormous, sparkling tourmalinated quartz pendants, I knew it was meant to be. I'm thrilled to bring you the newest addition to the Jasper collection - the Bold Jasper Necklace!

The necklace features an insanely high quality tourmalinated quartz gemstone, a much larger and bolder version of the original Jasper Necklace. Handwrapped in oxidized sterling silver, the necklace will come to you on a gorgeous oxidized sterling silver chain (length options are on the drop-down menu below).

Each piece is unique and equally fantastic. The pendants are shown in the last photo beside a US nickel for size reference. Choose below between short, medium, and longer chain lengths below. Makes a gorgeous statement alone, or layer it with your original Jasper necklace. No matter how you wear it, you can’t go wrong with this twist on a classic design!

As of right now, I only have one strand of these gorgeous, enormous gems, so this particilar version of the necklace is a limited edition. If you love it, grab it now before they're all gone!

Donations for Katie




Hi all,

I wanted to take a moment to tell you about my friend, Katie. She's been battling lymphoma for over a year now, and her story is truly amazing. I've watched her struggle first hand, and I've seen her look the cancer square in the face with the resolve she'll need to beat it. Katie's energy, positive attitude, and determination constantly inspire me.

With medical expenses always on the rise, Katie (a freelance artist) and her husband (a musician) are struggling to make ends meet. Katie told me that she recently missed a dose of life-saving immune boosters because that single dose would cost $1,200 and they just didn't have the money. Katie's supposed to get these injections regularly but often misses them due to financial constraints.

Unwilling to watch her continue to suffer without the pain medication, immune support, and other vital things she needs, a group of her friends are stepping in to help.

Will you take a moment to help Katie by following our Donations blog? Every single sign of support means the world to her, and when you click "follow," and become a follower via Google Friend Connect on her blog, you're helping spread the word and excitement about all the ways we want to help Katie beat this thing.

To thank you for your support, BB will give a $5 Gift Certificate to our shop to the first 100 followers who follow the "Donations for Katie" blog via Google Friend Connect, and then email us to let us know you're participating. We want to do everything we can to help Katie succeed in her fight against lymphoma! Will you help us?

Please join me and the Donations for Katie team in supporting this amazing woman and helping her beat the hell outta cancer!

Love,
