What I'm Working on - Alison's Bridal Party

One of my good friends from Virginia Tech, Alison, asked me to design some jewelry for her bridesmaids, and as always I was honored to be a part of another one of my Hokie girls special days!  She liked the idea of all her girls having a personal touch to their necklace that matched their personalities, so we did a trio of pretty blue Swarovski crystal stones and a sterling silver charm that would be different for each of her bridesmaids.

I love the dresses she chose- they are so colorful, and even though it's such a cliche saying...you can definitely re-wear these!!

I can't wait to see how everything turns out for her beautiful outdoor wedding!

What I'm Working on - Jen's Bridal Party

more friends, more weddings, and more bridal party jewelry!!

Jen and Steve are getting married in October, and she's asked me to design the jewelry her girls will wear that day!  we had a brainstorming session last week, and the decision is crystals and pearls- something neutral that can easily be worn again!  smart girl!!  so I'm in the process of putting together earrings and bracelets for her five bridesmaids and one flower girl :)

oh wait..I actually make jewelry still...

yes, I know, this blog has definitely veered away from the jewelry and design that it was meant for...but with the busy year that I've had, I have had less time to make things let alone photograph, edit and post them. But I'm determined to get back to that very soon...with the holidays approaching, my Etsy shop needs some TLC!

I did finish two orders for wedding parties...for Rachel and Artemis!


gold circles and birds for Rachel's wedding!














crystals and stardust beads for Artemis' bridesmaids! (picture coming soon!)
