Cufflink Invasion!

Our dining table has been invaded by a tiny army of cuff links. So they could tighten up their lines a bit, but they do remind me of little soldiers at attention.

I have the pleasure of working on a large custom order for an upcoming wedding, and decided it was a good time to re-stock existing cuff link locations and also add some new ones.

Looking for a fun and unique gift for a special man in your life? Check the shop soon - ready to ship cuff links will be listed shortly. And if you don't find just what you're looking for, I love custom orders...

Hope you had an equally productive weekend, or better yet a quiet, relaxing one!

Custom Photo Necklaces Are Here!

I have always had a weakness for photo jewelry, such as lockets, for which to keep a loved one close to your heart (and of course, show them off!). I was particularly awed by the beautiful designs of Planet Jill; simple, small-scale, classic designs. But with prices starting at $70, I determined to find a way to make my own...

I wanted to make a quality piece without the heavy price tag. And happily, resin was suited perfectly!

The photo can be embedded inside the resin making it durable and waterproof. Using a mold eliminates the need for a pricey sterling frame, and I also rather like the simple look of the sparkling, clear resin.

I still love sterling, so the pendants hang from Sterling Silver Italian box chains (my favorite).

Custom necklaces are just $30, with a variety of styles and photo options available in my Etsy shop.
