Handmade Jewelry? Yes Please!

Part of my Reinvention and Restoration Project (that's what I'm calling my diet, exercise and wardrobe updates) involves getting acquainted with jewelry. Step One was branching out of simple stone studs and into more decorative options, see my July 13th post. I'm proud to report that I am happily wearing lovely post earrings and am ready to begin experimenting with dangly earrings.

One of my friends, Shelby, makes jewelry and she gave me a beautiful set for a graduation gift: a pair of cobalt/azure blue drops and a small circlet necklace of the same stones. I'm very excited to wear them, but I've been avoiding necklaces and drop earrings this summer because of my summer school work, and the kid I'm working with (he pulls hair and tends to grab-ass a lot. Last thing I need is him to pull and earring out of my ear.) However, with summer school over this week, I'm anxious to wear my new baubles!

One of my sisters friends from college, Elizabeth, makes jewelry also. She writes an eco-friendly, jewlery blog called The Diving Loon, and sells her creations on Etsy.com here. I was perusing her site this morning and this is what I found:

Wine Lily Floral Copper drops

The Diving Loon, etsy.com

$15.00

I know it is a sin to covet something, but my god I want those earrings.

These too:

Diving for Pearl Cluster earrings

Pearl and Floral Chandelier earrings

Be sure to check out Elizabeth's blog and her Etsy.com site. All of her jewlery is 100% guaranteed, and customizable. Enjoy!

Bejewledly yours,

Nay
