I have always loved velvet for its rich, luxirous quality and lately I've been incorporating bits of it into my jewelry designs. I like the surprise element of backing a pendant with the fabric, and maybe a few words cut from a vintage prayer card.

To give this bracelet some punch, I lined an antique steel cut buckle with regal red velvet peeking through.
In other jewelry news, I recently acquired many new and vintage items thanks to my good friend Danette, that I will be listing on The Paris Carousel throughout the next few weeks. Here's a sneak preview of just some of the offerings:
There will be lots of affordable cameos...
And rhinestones, rhinestones, rhinestones!
Merci beaucoup for stopping by! Have a beautiful week, mes amis! :)
