Black Lip Cameo Necklace
I wanted to show a couple of ways to use this cabochon. I used a Vintaj filigree flower to frame it and I also show you a macrame net.
Carved Feather with Hemp Bail
I wanted to create an earthy centerpiece for my necklace by using hemp to create a bail. I loved how it turned out, you could also use waxed cord.
Copacabana Anklet
You find anklets to be one of the big summer trends. I used bright color African dogun rings and playful chains to match. This anklet is...
Emerald Sands Earrings
These earrings just glow! The tropical green combined with the gold adds a bit of elegance. You could use any of your fave recycled glass colors.
Woven Tahiti Bracelet
This woven focal is the perfect summer embellishment when combined with the wood and resin teardrop. This could also be a fun anklet.

Modern Drop Earrings
From the sparkle of the Czech glass to the pops of pink, these earrings have a unique style that you will want to wear everyday.
Boho Fringe Earrings
These fringe focals are amazing! I liked the pairing of the drip ear wires with the black lip shell.
Golden Cowrie Earrings
African beads add the perfect pattern and organic shape to these earrings. Cowrie shells create a summer vibe.
Sparkling Simplicity Earrings
I love the modern shape of the horse eye ear wires. I wanted to keep a sleek look by just adding a charm, but with sparkle- of course!
Azul Earrings
The recycled glass nuggets have beautiful blue glow, it looks great with the gold finishes. Silver would totally work as well.
Groovy Hoop Earrings
Czech glass daisies make me think of summer. I added greek patina spacers in between for an accent color. Simple and fun!
Seed Bead Stackable Rings
These are cute little rings that will use up your leftover seed beads. I used our tiny charms to embellish the rings which added movement and sparkle.

I created these modern pots for gift giving and to spruce up my garden. You can personalize them by using your favorite colors and embellishments.

Tide Pool Earrings
I wanted to show a simple design that was elegant. The sparkling ring and the blue-green enamel are elegant together. I gave you silver and gold...
