well, it's almost summer and a breezy summer day today indeed. and these are in-becoming. adding a larger size to the classic and ageless, ubiquitous hoop. always in season, these are the super classic hoop, in color and with fun! have been 'testing these out' myself quite a bit lately...forgetting to have them on at times. and wondering...surprised. i almost never wear earrings (i just make them), but there are a few exceptions, and these are one of them. yes, even the large(er) size will be super lightweight, and yet, big enough to tip the line into a little more of daring...so do! coming soon: an adventurous two and a half inches hoop for your days of summer! and in the meantime, there are the big ones and the slighter smaller ones, as always. four finishes and four colors to choose from, as always. for bright days and even super bright days! (NOTE: the vermeil finish is momentarily on hold as i review inventory changes and updates, but....stay tuned!) what can i say? these earrings are simply perfect for a simple and yet a statement-like style. i rarely wear earrings (but sure like to make them!), but these... these have been captivating, yes, even for myself! so there you have it, sporting my new daring rectangles. super lightweight, eclectically versatile, colorful, fun, fun to wear.... what else can you ask of a joyful, contemporary pair of earrings?! into spring and looking ahead. lots of work on the bench and the new slices collection is steadily growing. the big squares have been selling out right from the beginning of the year and I recently added a slighter smaller size to satisfy the milder version of 'big'... this week will be adding a new style to the line, here in preview...circles! simple sequence of events in playing mode and so these new earrings came to life. they go well together with the squares and make a perfect mis-match pair for a daring and stylish earring statement.
don't you think? the slices are coming! I have been playing around with strips of brass and came up with some simple but pretty striking square earrings.: the big square slices are 'simple geometry with dramatic proportions' (they are 2" squares), extremely lightweight to wear making a very distinctive statement....dare a little! Since the beginning of the year these new earrings have been best sellers the minute I released them out to the world. many people have also been asking about a smaller version of these bold earrings, and so.... introducing below the slightly smaller version of the squares, still big enough for a decisive impact, but taking a bit of the 'big' edge off in a 1.75" square. from the early feedback i am receiving it seems that these are the perfect choice for someone who wants to be brave and fearless at the same time, but in a just a smaller scale. as the bigger version, they come in black brass and in yellow brass.
also, now available in 2 lengths, with a choice of a 36" or a 42" black waxed cotton cord, depending on how you play with the sliders, you can go from a chocker bolo-style pendant to a long grazing elegant look. and last but not least: the fun + function of it all! still looking for those glasses? now you can pair up a few things and have a colorful and stylish eyeglasses pendant for an everyday companion. and, in case you were wondering, the stick pendants work just as well, and with a touch of different....
so it looks like summer is on a roll again, heat waves, sunshine and sudden storms....and amidst rain-longings and desert openness, here comes some new work, ready to roll along, with it, in simplicity. starting with bright summer colors, a new addition to the twisted and wires line is just about ready to go, official launching happening next week, and cannot wait! in the meantime, a quick shot from the first batch of the NEW summer pendants in copper and brass finishes, complete with sliders to match and adjust to desired length on the black cotton cord. adding to the bunch the brushed silver today - makes me think of full moons on summer nights...or simple blacks and whites. as for the black on black....been experimenting with 'shades of black', black copper, black brass. on silver is still the blackest. but again, still playing with it.... stay tuned. one thing is for sure: it will be black. it's windy around here this early spring. today actually it feels like winter...deep deep blue skies and chilly chilly air. but get ready, because the breeze is fading and it's time to let the spring sun touch your skin... spring coming made me think of the dangling coil earrings, funky swirls of color to wear for springtime.
so many possibilities.
twists, turns and springy wires....happy springtime!
Bringing these pins back, minimal jewelry statement pieces from my popular twisted&wires collection perfect to pin things down this new fall season!
Take a stand and make a powerful statement, right on you, on your winter coat (it's coming), your warm woolen scarf, your hat.....or pin this piece to the wall to impress your house guests (you will!) with wearable wall art! A hectic pace picked up speed early this month, after adjustments to delayed work schedules and repositionings of trays with work in progress at the bench, I am finally churning some new stuff: new earrings for the metal feathers collection! pre-assembled a couple of pairs of the metal feathers earrings, two in sterling silver and copper, one just in sterling silver... a 'hand scratch-finish' comes next for all the feathers, add then touches of color to ruffle them up! |
jewelry notes from the bench
Hi, welcome to my jewelry blog!
I make simple, colorful and bold jewelry for a contemporary ageless and fun style. Have been doing this for quite sometime...pretty sure this is what I want to do when I grow up! Here I jot down thoughts and notes and pictures of work in the making, both in my mind, on paper and on the bench. for bench updates and exclusive previews... archives
