New for Spring!
Spring is here and I’ve been working hard on some new, beautiful additions to my collection. I am focusing on luxurious earrings with clusters of gemstones, crystals and pearls. Simple, but elegant, hammered hoop earrings with removable gemstone drops. And necklaces with drusy pendants, accented with pearls and semi-precious gems.
Due to the great response on these styles, I do not have any in my current stock. I am currently working on more pieces like these, so feel free to contact me if you are interested. I can also customize a piece for you. Prices range from $40-$200, and are dependant on time and materials.
Look for my new items at the Mabel & Zora trunk show on March 27th, and at Crafty Wonderland May 1st & 2nd.
