Ode to Pyrite

I am in love with Pyrite. 

This is strange because it's not a stone I have used for long. 

It's not a stone similar to the types I have been using forever. It's not a stone which you can easily identify (what color is that anyway?). It's a stone that is a bit "rough around the edges" in appearance.

 But it just seems to go with almost anything I think of pairing it with.

 Like a refined, faceted Citrine.

 Or bright white sterling chain.

 Rich black oxidized silver and gold.

Or pearls and subtly colored gemstones.

And here's another favorite you may have already seen.

Come see all my pyrite selections in person at the last South End Open Market of the season!   It's on Halloween and is sure to be packed.  It's fully booked with creative vendors and they're having costume contests, free treats and more!

Have a spooky, cavity-inducing weekend! : o

Finally!

 oh, I think I use the word "finally" too much here. I guess that means I need to step it up a bit. Anyway, what I have to present to you now is worth the wait!  I have finally listed some "one-of-a-kinds" in the shop.

Geodes! 

 Yay! They are special, kind of magical, sparkly and colorful. 

Hope you like!

...and more will be coming sooner rather than later. really.

Have a great weekend!

Have a Windy Weekend....

More new updates have been made in the shop!

The necklace above is a new favorite, which sold out twice before I could actually get a picture of it! It seems to just really "work" when people try it on. It was difficult to photograph this piece in it's entirety, as it has lots going on, so I hope you can get the feel for it here. I think it would be a great holiday party necklace!


Sadly, my last Providence Open Market show was canceled for tomorrow due to high winds. I hope to be back next year! Otherwise you can catch me at the South End Open Market this Sunday and a week from then for my last Boston appearance 'till the Spring. Hope to see you there. It has been a really fun market!

Happy weekend!!

(loving this song today)

New Lockets in Gold

I love the warm glow that gold gives to these images. I have just one listed right now on the site, but there are more coming. And of course, you can always request any of the stamps you see in silver to be made in gold. Also! Feel free to talk to me about customizing. If it will fit, I am more than happy to put a personalized quote or message in the locket for you.
(p.s.-there are a few newbies in silver as well ;)

New Stuff. And hello!

Finally!

"New Things" are up!!
I miss my blog. I am hoping to get back to posting more next week now that lots of new pieces have been designed, made, photographed, edited and uploaded to the shop! Whew. There is still lots more to do actually, but I just wanted to say hello out there!
