Happy Friday Everyone!! Another Fab Fall Piece!! Every time ...every, time I bring in a variety of this small Turquoise gemstone chain it sells out. I grabbed these beautiful faceted Turquoise, Jasper & Chrysocolla mix last time I was in Jaipur (the capital of gemstones) and I've been saving it for the fall. This lovely little pendant with a mix of Coral & Turquoise was such a perfect pairing with the variegated tiny Turquoises that I knew they had to go together for a fall Friday Feature!! I love how the little hand-cut facets catch the light!!
•
Of course the pendant comes on and off ...so you can layer this beautiful Turquoise with all your other Turquoise pieces. Small and low profile, the chain is so beautiful with simple, small charms. (*note in the video I have it layered in with my gold sunflower as a styling option). The Turquoise & Coral pendant also looks really great on a long leather piece ...as well as the Turquoise Layering Necklaces if you have those. Mix in the Ombré Turquoise & Navajo Pearl Necklace and you have the perfect stack with a little punch of orange for fall. Designers, paint companies, and trend forecasters are still picking orange to progress into the next year, so take advantage of this little pop of coral. Enjoy!!!
•
If you order these today, these will go out today or tomorrow. I head to Italy Saturday (10/10) to work on a few projects but coming right back this time. If I miss shipping you this weekend, I will get this out as soon as I return in two weeks.

Happy Friday Everyone!! Now THIS is a fun Friday Feature!! Its Bracelet-Palooza!!! I LOVE a good bracelet stack, but especially in the fall. When we get a little bit more "sweatered-up" I don't like wearing much in the way of necklaces on the outside of my chunky sweaters. Its just a recipe for snags. SOOOO I go a little bit more of a statement with my bracelets and earrings. I put together a collection of EASY fall, very inexpensive bracelets ...that can layer any one with each other ...and also most likely with some bracelets you guys have. Any one of these are beautiful with fall tones and the browns and soft neutrals of an autumn palette.
•
PLEASE refer to the styling video included ...some of these are very chonky ...so know that going in. These big, gorgeous resin statement bracelets are very of the season right now ...a little bit of a nod to the 80's ...(my jewelry coming of age). I was just getting into jewelry in the 80's in middle school, so I love this style coming back full circle. My favorites are the big, colorful resin beads with the big gold chunks!! Those will be on high rotation for me all of fall. Grab a couple or an assortment you think you may love for fall. They are also going to make great gifts, even just wrapped around a ch*****ne bottle for a hostess gift. A FABULOUS price point ...you can't go wrong with any of these ...and enjoy Bracelet-Palooza!!!
•
These are FAB layered together ...Love the "Neutrals with Gold & the Faux Tortoise Bamboo" and the "Big Bead Confetti with the Turquoise Beads with Gold Accent" ...you really can't go wrong. They ALL are FAB!!

*These are ready to go and will ship out as ordered !!

Happy Friday ...back in Nashville ...although I'm actually heading to the outskirts of Memphis for a trunk show. Today's Friday Feature emerged out of this fabulous find. Beautiful luster & the perfect shade of bronze, these pearls are vintage ...and had been just collecting dust waiting for someone to notice them. I grabbed them and stared at them for a good long time wondering to myself ..."Do I take them apart, knot them, what to do to highlight how pretty they are?" I decided to leave them as a strand, but I properly knotted in between each pearl ...as all beautiful pearls deserve to be treated! 😉 The color is so so beautiful for fall ...and adding your own favorite charms for the warm tones of autumn will be a fun creative way to enjoy these pearls!!
•
I added a little shell heart charm for a little extra somethin somethin ...as its still a little warm out there. We are still in sundresses and the warm vibes are lingering ...but this will transition you right into fall. Add your own charms either with the carabiner combos or if your charms are about 5/6mm and up, they can slide right on. I've been wearing mine for months and love love love it. I can't seem to part with the heart for now, but I see a nice big Turquoise chonk in its future as fall vibes get here. Enjoy!!
•
*These are currently still in the pile and I need to HAND-KNOT each one ...which does take some time. Additionally, I have the small gold-filled adjustable chain part coming. This particular gold-filled clasp set I put together is increasingly hard to get as gold is more elusive, and yet it is SO durable and well made that I didn't want to compromise on quality. With good care, the gold-filled clasp / chain will last you decades.

Happy Friday from Panicale, Italy! Love today's Friday Feature as they are really wonderful transition pieces from summer to fall ....and especially into winter. I love winter whites ...so so much as its just a very classic, crisp beautiful look in the winter. When I can combine the actual color white with the white of a Mother of Pearl, its double the happiness! The fact that these are also "Man in the Moon" faces just seal the deal for me.
•
I've been wearing my own personal pair during my time here in Italy ...and they are so easy because they go with everything. From my colorful linen sundresses for day outings to leveling up my casual grocery store clothes (*Italians dress well even to go to the grocery store), I always feel put together in these. Just the right amount of fall, semi-statement without too much length and hardly any weight, these are a really fabulous, classic set to always have and enjoy!!
•
*I let you guys choose your precious metal with these ...so I will make them as ordered for the specific metal ...as I only have a limited number of "men in the moon" carved gems.

Happy Friday from Italy!! Ok - y'all don't hate me ...but this is another really great Friday Feature!! I absolutely LOVE this beauty ...and I've been wearing mine as a layer in with my other Turquoise all the time. When I was out west earlier this summer, I came across a similar piece that I loved ...with the Navajo pearl detailing ...but it was really reeeaaalllly pricey (into the several hundreds). I carried it in my Summer Trunk Show ...and it sold out, but I knew I wanted to design a similar, less expensive piece for a Friday Feature. I sourced the silver saucer & round beads and the ombré Turquoise ...and went to work. I really love the end result ...a lovely layer you can mix in with anything. I've even mixed it in with my long gold charm necklace. Of course, this piece is incredible as a stand-alone as well. Classic, never out of style, this is a staple.
•
The Ombré Turquoise itself makes this an easy go-to for any of your existing Turquoise ...as it has pretty much every color of Turquoise any of our mines have to offer. I always mix & match my Turquoise anyway ...But if you are a purist and want your Turquoise to all coordinate ...don't fear, this will work!! I decided on a lovely & sturdy sterling silver clasp with adjustability for easy layering, so this can easily become a go-to staple in your every day year-round wardrobe. Enjoy!!!
•
*These are ready to go, and Helen will ship them to you as ordered until they are sold out.

Happy Friday from Venice!! Of course, I HAD to do a Friday Feature from Venice that was Venetian!!! I've had these beautiful Chrysocolla tumbled stones for a while now ...but I have kept them in the drawer until I found something worthy of them. And along came these beautiful Venetian Glass turquoise & gold hand-blown hearts. All Venetian Glass is special ...but I just loved how these worked so well in with the Chrysocolla ...both the same color-way and hues ...but a contrast of textures.
•
The heart itself, set in 14k gold filled has a clasp ...so you can keep it attached to the bracelet ...or even slide or clip it on a chain, even add it to other bracelets. Chrysocolla is a very earthy stone ...similar to Turquoise, but a little bit deeper blue-green hue ..with flecks of copper (which also happens to be very good for us). Venetian Glass tends to be a little bit more ethereal and lofty ...so the contrast between the two materials is a very nice mix. The heart itself also has flecks of gold, copper, white and shades of Turquoise ...so its a perfect complement, as well as a fab year-round charm that can be used in a myriad of ways. Hope you guys enjoy the set!
•
*These have to be made ...each Chrysocolla is hand-drilled & tumbled, and has to be carefully strung ...and the Venetian Glass Hearts all need to be set in 14k gold filled. Jessica will be doing that over the next few weeks. Please be patient as these are a little labor intensive.

Happy Friday!! Whenever I do a Limited Edition Nini Necklace, it is always always a popular Friday Feature. I imagine this one will be also. The "Nini's" are easily my most popular style. Universally well-liked, easy to wear, easy to layer, lightweight & comfortable, this style seems to seamlessly mix in with whatever is really "hot & trendy" in jewelry at the moment, but also outlast the trend ...as these have great longevity when taken care of!!
•
This beautiful Smoky Topaz (actually Smoky Quartz, but often called a Topaz) star in the center makes for a wonderful neutral going into fall ...along with the bronzy brown pearls hand-knotted all around. Smoky Topaz / Quartz is a a very grounding stone ...and often used to ward off stress. In our crazy lives that never seem to have enough time in the day, I pretty much want to build myself a little Smoky Topaz chamber I can park myself inside!! Can you imagine!!?? Until then, I'll just use my beautiful Smoky Topaz Nini ...as I really do see gemstones making energetic differences. I have Tourmaline & Amethyst in my PEMF mat ...and its a daily daily must for me!!! Amethyst & Smoky are very similar compounds with similar diffusing properties. Enjoy!!

*These are all ready to go and will ship out immediately!!

Happy Friday!! Its the heat of August here in Italy ..and doing my best to stay cool! Even though we are moving into the fall season soon ...the warmth still remains. This Friday Feature is one of those fab transition pieces that can take you straight from summer heat, sundresses, beachy vibes to the fall wardrobe ...similar, but maybe with an extra light layer for those nights that are cooling off. As you guys know, I LOVE pieces that can mix & match in with what you already have.
•
It is also a truly fabulous piece for traveling year round. With five different charms / pendants, and a really versatile multi-colored pavé carabiner attachment, this set can really go a long way. Tie charms on either end of the soft turquoise leather for a lariat or use your little charms with any another shorter chain as a complement. There are literally hundreds of combinations with this one ...take your pick!! Any way you can figure out to wear it is right. There is no wrong way. It is meant to be mixed right in with your other pieces ...or of course, you can leave it right as is!!

*This particular Turquoise leather was a happy accident. The die lot ended up being lighter and not so "bright turquoise-ey" ...so I grabbed two skeins up and that's all there is. This particular leather color is definitely Limited Edition!!

Happy Friday!! I am wrapping up The Summer Trunk Show, but it is still up online for now. Just scroll below the Friday Feature to see it. For today's Friday Feature ...she is an absolute BEAUTY!! I definitely call this Turquoise Couture ...and yet, its really a great price point for what it is. Completely handcrafted, this beautiful piece is so classic ...it will never be out of style, and will work in with so many other pieces. A stunning array of heishi-cut gemstones in a combination of Turquoise, Chrysocolla and Spiny Oyster, this one goes with everything!
•
This traditionally made piece is a bit of American Southwest history. The Santa Domingo people developed a technique of making natural materials into "heishi" beads ...(small tubular pieces that stack and move with liquidity), but it was the Navajo silversmiths that adapted this technique into their craft and created these small, tubular silver beads ...what we now call "liquid silver," as it appears to ebb & flow like silver water. Popular in the 1970's, it went dormant ...but as silver rises in popularity, so is this incredible technique. I love the mix of Turquoise, Chrysocolla and Spiny Oyster as highlights mixed in with the beautiful silver ...as this ombre array of color goes with everything ...and a perfect transition piece from summer into fall. Enjoy!!
