Girls and Pearls

 

Years ago, when I fancied myself quite the 'mod' fashionista, I fell in love with a Mademoiselle magazine feature entitled, 'Girls and Pearls', and had cut all the photos out and taped them inside my closet to inspire me when putting outfits together!

 

 

I've since had a soft spot for the creamy white spheres, whether long and lean, like the flapper styles Coco Chanel popularized, or chunky and baroque.  Here I offer you my version of 'girls and pearls', including an old glass portrait...

 

 

garnets and cherubs...

 

 

sterling silver swans on a 'pond' of aquamarines...

 

 

a very special 19th century meerschaum...

 

 

and beautiful shell cameo...

 

 

I'm pretty sure pearls are a girls' second best friend!  ;)

The Classics

Bonjour, mes amis! I've been busy in the studio this week, refreshing my Etsy shoppe inventory, as well as getting some items ready to ship off to a new account in New Orleans I just acquired! I've kept the new pieces true blue, with classic themes such as a cameo, vintage mourning brooch, Virgin Mary prayer card locket and, bien sur, Joan of Arc, a fleur de lis and Eiffel Tower! Isn't this antique enamel violin adorable? I hope you've enjoyed these classics with me! Have a beautiful week (with longer days)! Yay! :)

Where Does the Time Go?

I've been keeping very busy in the studio this week, but somehow even though I've quit my 'day job', there still never seems to be enough time to get everything done.

Between jewelry design, photography, blogging, shopping for vintage goodies, getting them listed on Etsy, and shipping sold items, I don't know how I ever had time to work before! (I know this is cliche, but true.)

But I'm not complaining! I love all of it! Here are some of the pieces I've recently completed, available now at The French Circus.

The pieces in the photo below were given to my rep for the wholesale market.

Please stay tuned, since I'm stocking up for the holiday season and will be featuring some pretty pastels and candy colours soon! Have a beautiful week! :)
