Bridal Brilliance!

I just got married!!!!!!

And what better opportunity than to be able to create some custom pieces for myself and some of my best friends (the bridesmaids!).

Between the 4 of us we dazzled in over 1000 swarovski pearls and crystals... we wore bracelets, earrings, necklaces- you name it, we had it! And to go with the whole tropical beach theme- what tied it together were swarovski star fish pendants. I wore a large one on a chain, and the girls had custom made earrings with the starfishes!

Katie- being quite the fashionista, I was able to make her something bigger, more noticeable, and knew that she would be able to pull it off... at the risk of being "too busy", I added some tulle to her earrings and bracelet to give it that extra WOW factor- and I think that she pulled it off fantastically!

Kimmy- being whimsical and a little edgy, I added caribbean blue crystals to her for the FUN factor! She had my signature bauble style bracelet with hoop earrings. They were brilliant!!!!

Jessica- for the classic friend we went with an elegant drop earring of pearls and crystal rondelles, and a simple 3 strand bracelet. With a bambina on the way- I wanted to give her something that she could pull out and rock with a t-shirt anyday, or dress up for the rare nights she will get to go out with the hubby!

And myself- I wanted big bracelet, lots of necklaces, and I wish that I could take credit for the earrings, but I just wanted simple elegant drop earrings.

See for youself- available for custom bridal jewelry (with minimum 4 weeks notice).

Woman's tuxedo

Is there anything classier than black and white with a hint of sparkle? Well- maybe... but this is definitely up there! Fresh Water Pearls (FWP), faceted black glass beads, complimented by crystal clear- clear quartz beads are just the right combination to take your outfit to the next level!

Made with sterling silver findings.

Keep your eye out for the matching necklace- still to come!!!

Turquoise continued...

Due to popularity of the turquoise line- I have continued to add to it so that you can all have great options to mix & match to make some really great combinations! Dressy, casual, under-stated, bold- whatever you want it to be!

This necklace is also made with sterling silver chain and findings- and czech crystal rondelles to add a hint of sparkle!

***(Can be customized to any length you would like).

Crystal lite

This is just one of my favorites!!! In my signature bauble style- this bracelet has a plethora of colors in a high quality chinese crystal. When the sun catches this bracelet it dazzles anyone within ten feet! Made with sterling silver chain and filigree clasp- I know that this is going to be a kukuracha best seller this summer!

(*** Look for this one in warm & cool color tones, or email me if you would like this tailored for you).

Here comes the bride!

Wedding day... a day that every little girl dreams of, and once its a reality- we have a vision of who is going to be there with us, where it is going to be, when it will be... a traditional church, a beach at sunset, a field of flowers, a winter chalet... and above all we dream about what we are going to wear! Do we want to be a modern bride? A feminine bride? A funky bride? The possibilities are endless!

I have been extremely privileged to be able to make some custom bridal jewelry over the past month! I am so honored to be able to make something that is going to be a part of that vision that every bride has. The floating pearls has by far been the most popular style- and is the epitome of delicate femininity.

I can't wait to share with you what I will make for myself as I walk down the aisle in 3 months. Any guesses of what kind of bride I will be?!

Lulu Frost- My newest inspiration!

I ask myself if I could ever do stuff like this? So whimsical (my new favorite word to apply to fashion)- stunning, grandiose... only the most daring fashionista could pull these pieces off. She uses the word heirloom in her jewelry- and her pieces are just that... so unique, and an investment piece that is going to get passed down from generation to generation.

My answer is yes- I think that if I seriously apply myself to developing my craft, the ideas that are continuously floating around in my head could transpire into something as great as this!

Turquoise.

What can I say about turquoise?

Classic. Gorgeous. Trendy. Joyful. Collectible. Feminine. Bold.

If I could work with only turquoise I would be happy. But that would just be boring. Whether worn in a big way, or just a hint of it- turquoise demands to be noticed.

I'm in love with this simple, yet trendy bracelet in white, blue and green natural turquoise- held together with one of my sterling silver signature clasps. I thought that I would throw a necklace and earrings in with the mix just to complete the set... and of course I am still working on my favorite bauble style necklace and bracelet- still to come!
