Floating Jewelry

Floating jewelry is unique due to its illusion effect. This technique allows the designs to be prominent and the settings less conspicuous.

Most importantly, floating jewelry flows gracefully on your body without tension. A bubble ring will appear dramatic, yet soft on your finger. A floating diamond within a curb chain anklet will look casual, yet clean cut. Lastly, floating components within a charm locket will create a somewhat whimsical design, which might belong in a modern art exhibit.

Visually, floating jewelry pieces appear somewhat relaxed as well as effortless. Whether daytime or night, choosing to wear floating jewelry will allow you to embrace something that is well within your grasp. Take it or leave it. Whatever floats your boat.

Red Alert!

Red is all the rage in fashion right now. What better time for me to share some red jewelry pieces that you can enjoy? The richness of this color is intense and up-lifting. Red is a color that brings energy and passion.

Ruby, garnet, carnelian, agate, coral and enamel offer a warm effect that will pair well with your red attire. Have fun blending different shades of red. In doing so you will add an interesting dimension to your look.

If you are like me, and you feel safe wearing muted colors, try red just this once. Red is empowering and gives women the courage to go after everything that they want.

Chain Reaction

Chains are incredibly versatile, decorative and functional. They can be utilized in necklace, pendant, bracelet, ring, and earring designs. I find myself alternately wearing chains that are both elaborate and unadorned.

Each link is joined together to create a continuous flow that ends in a harmonious piece of chain jewelry. This interconnectivity can be used as a metaphor for every aspect of our lives.

Whether organic or geometric in shape, chains will always be a necessity in your jewelry collection.

Pet Themed Jewelry

If you love your pet, why not express your love by wearing pet themed jewelry? A photo of your pet showcased within a charm or locket is a beautiful way to display your devotion in a stylish fashion.

I was delighted to find such a large selection of pet themed jewelry in our metaverse. It took time for me to narrow down my choices. The doggy in the window pin caught my eye and made me long to have a pet!

Whether spending time at home or going out on the town, you can enjoy wearing elegant pet jewelry for any occasion.

Meet Bailey. She is the newest addition to my sister’s family. Bailey wears her pearls like a lady. She has a beautiful personality and I love her.

Fresh Floral Jewelry

Spring is an awakening that I always look forward to. Fresh floral jewelry designs are spot on for spring. Imagine walking through a garden or nursery and choosing flowers to create the perfect bouquet. Handpicking your jewelry for spring can be done in a similar manner.

Try selecting floral jewelry pieces to create a spring ensemble to wear everywhere you go. A sprinkle if diamonds, carved color stones, and simple metal designs will bring a freshness that will mimic the season.

During the cold months of winter, I often wonder if spring will ever arrive. When it finally does, our surroundings change, as should your wardrobe and jewelry.

Medallion Jewelry

Medallion jewelry evokes an undeniable strength that all women possess. Medallions may vary in size and shape. Be sure to choose the right medallion to fit your fashion needs.

Wearing medallion jewelry exclusively or adjacent to other pieces is a personal choice. Layering it adds interest to your look, however, when you wear it alone it makes a statement.

No matter what style you choose, medallion jewelry will remind you to be proud of who you are and all that you have accomplished.

My Ode to Jewelry

My love affair with jewelry began at a very young age. I received jewelry gifts from my parents and extended family that still have special meaning to me.

I owned a pair of tiny earrings, a necklace and a bangle bracelet when I was just a little baby. I recall acquiring my first watch (Mickey Mouse) as a ten year old child. When given my first pair of pearl earrings as a teen, I quickly understood their value.

Now jewelry is more than a sweet gift. It is a passion of mine that I shall not let go of because it helps me to define my personal, as well as professional style.

I share with you a lovingly curated group of jewelry pieces that I adore and hope that you will too!
