a new length for my most popular necklace

by Leave a Comment

casual style: mixed metal bronze and black classic chain link necklace with t-shirt and cardigan

It’s no surprise that the Audrey necklace is one of my best sellers – this two tone necklace is an instant classic that is the perfect compliment to just about outfit. But I also know that, at 18″ long, not everyone loves a chain that short. Which is why I just introduced the Ellen necklace. It’s the same two-tone design as the best selling Audrey, but in a 26″ length that should be flattering on almost everyone!

And to show off this new necklace (and help beat the winter blues), I couldn’t help tossing on a colored shirt and photographing it in my new studio space with my new plant! That is one of the things I love most about my jewelry in general and the Ellen necklace in particular – it works perfectly if you’re dominant color palette is black, white, and grey, but it also works well if you’re ready to bring a little color into your wardrobe!

my new (temporary) studio

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know this new year has brought a bit of a transition for me. I’ve had to temporarily relocate out of my beloved studio so that we can repair some damage to the subfloor. (The result of some flooding that took place last summer.) While it’s definitely not ideal to have to move studio spaces (especially while I’m prepping for two trade shows) I’m doing my best to see the positives in the situation.

Fortunately, I’ve got a lovely space to relocate to while we do the repairs. Last winter, I did a little cosmetic renovation on our den (including painting the floor) and it’s made for the perfect happy space to relocate my business to for a few months while we do the repairs on my studio. And while I don’t love giving up my skylights in the middle of winter, I’m focusing on making this new space a bright, happy oasis filled with paintings and plants!

feelin’ the fringe

contemporary jewelry: statement hoops and fringe necklace

These week I released three new necklaces in my online store (ok, six if you count that each necklace comes in two different metal options) and I couldn’t be more excited. I originally came up with this design back in December before heading to Craft Boston, but both necklaces I made sold out at the show!

But now I’ve finally had a chance to get them into my online store! You can find them here! (This is the necklace pictured above!)

#fauxplantfriday: tiny faux succulent, handmade cup, and stacking rings

by Leave a Comment

succulent, striped handmade cup, and mixed metal stacking rings

Just because I’ve started buying real plants (check out my last post to see what I’m talking about) I’m not giving up on my faux plants or #fauxplantfriday. Mostly because I’m a girl who likes a backup plan, and faux plants will never die! (Not to mention, they are super fun to swap in and out of my favorite Elizabeth Benotti cup! Especially while wearing my silver on steel stacking rings!)

Saturday plant shopping: calatheas, coffee, and thumb rings

plant shopping for calatheas with coffee and a thumb ring

I know I joked in my last post that I was off to buy plants on the Internet, and while I do still have my eye on a few, I actually decided to head to a real greenhouse on Saturday and came home with a few new plant babies of my very own. So be prepared to see lots more plant pics in the near future. (Most likely accompanied by my silver on steel rings.)

#fauxplantfriday and a confession

If you follow me on Instagram, you know my obsession with faux plants. I even tried to make #fauxplantfriday a thing, after reading that faux plants were a decor trend for 2019.

And so I figured it was time to bring my faux plant obsession to my blog. (Though to be fair, I have been posting tiny faux Christmas trees for the last month and a half!) But while I’m sharing some faux plant love, I also have a confession…

studio sneak peek: new necklaces in progress

I spent the last week of the year doing one of my absolute favorite things; working in my studio. And while most of that time was spent filling orders, I did spend a little bit of time experimenting with new designs. And I can say that I’m pretty excited about these in particular!

I’ve been experimenting with scale, and I’m really excited that I’ll soon be making petite versions of the Melissa and Madeleine necklaces! I’m not quite ready to release these into my online store yet, but if you want to be the first to know when they’re available, make sure to join my mailing list!

Update: both necklaces are now available in my online store!!

In the meantime, here’s a few more sneak peeks…

my favorite places to shop (and eat) in Jaipur, India

Jaipur, India travel tips: Amber Fort

This is the time of year where I start noticing an awful lot of people in my Instagram feed are in India. And while it means I spend a lot of time trying to control my jealousy (while trying to figure out when I can sneak in my third trip), it also means I frequently find myself DMing friends to share my favorite India recommendations.

So since it can be repetitive to share my recs one by one (and since I was pretty bad about blogging either of my trips) today I thought I’d share my favorite places to shop and eat in Jaipur! (I’ll be sharing my favorite Delhi shopping destinations in a separate post.)
