A denim and pearls summer outfit that you could live in. Look how roomy those pockets are -- you could store snacks for days!

A perfect silhouette, with a touch of summer with a mother of pearl choker, daisy + pearl earrings, and I never leave the house these days without a full coverage summer hat.

Time to say goodbye. I'm going to be retiring a lot of my old jewelry designs. So if you've been eyeing anything, grab it now, because most of the items in my shop will be disappearing soon!

For me, it's 2 reasons.

❤ It's one of the easiest ways to make your look unique with the least amount of effort

❤ And, my son loves to play with my pearl necklace that I wear everyday. So I like wearing it to work because it's a little reminder of him all day when I'm not with him.

What about you?

Here's why buying the wrong type of pearl will make your jewelry not last as long. And what kind you should buy instead.

We see "freshwater" and "saltwater" pearls when buying pearl jewelry, and what's the difference? Should you be buying one verses another? Yes!

🦪 Saltwater pearls are formed in oceans and freshwater pearls are formed in mollusks in lakes and rivers.

🦪 Freshwater pearls form more quickly than saltwater pearls. And they’re typically a bit smaller but more durable than saltwater pearls.

So, why does that matter? Freshwater pearls are almost 100% nacre, as opposed to a saltwater pearl which just has a thin coat of nacre. The added nacre makes the freshwater pearl a lot more durable than the saltwater pearl.

Also, saltwater pearls are those perfectly round pearls while freshwater pearls are the ones with the fun, irregular shapes like baroque and keshi! (The cool ones)

Annnnd, saltwater pearls are more expensive.

So, what’s which one should you buy? We love freshwater pearls because they look cooler, are less expensive, and hold up longer!

Like this super unique baroque pearl in our drop earrings. Check out the those cool crevices and valleys, and k***s and gnarls. No one else will have a pair like yours.

It's here. Meet...the dainty daisy chain necklace.

Just in time for spring, these adorable daisies are made of mother of pearl, all strung on a tiny gold filled chain.

I love them layered up with the beaded chain (coming soon), and a long pendant.

This lucky layered stack also has one of our customer favorites -- the wishbone charm.

Are you ready for spring?

So, I just had the best conversation with one of my customers.

She bought one of my ball locket necklaces.

After a week or so, I just checked in to see how the necklace was working out, and she let me know she was giving it as a gift to her sister. She was including a picture of their father who had passed away, so she could have a picture of him always with her, tucked away in a discrete but hidden-in-plain-site location.

We got to talking and it just was so touching to hear how this little thing could carry such weight, and happy I could be a part of it. ❤️

Jewelry is so personal and many pieces carry a story behind them. What's a personal piece of jewelry for you?

Want a piece of jewelry that even your toddler can't break?

Finally a necklace you can relax in around your little one. Never worry if they are going to tug too hard on our Peter Pan Collar necklace, with it's thick, double linked chains and extra large steel clasp.

Like Shana from The Mom Edit says "I've been wearing her Peter Pan Collar Necklace everywhere – to work, date night, even out with the kiddos (it won't break)."

BUT. Unfortunately, this customer favorite necklace won't be around much longer. This double-linked chain was discontinued, and I can't find it anywhere. So there's only a couple of necklaces in this chain style left.

Oh, and Free US Shipping on this necklace.

Check out the Peter Pan Collar necklace, because we can't wait to see how you style it up for your next date night!

To shop the necklace, click on the photo.
