Earrings are a fun summer accessory
And do I have earrings for you in my new Seven Seas collection!
There are Mini Droplet earrings for every day use.
Or there are these Droplet earrings; a bit larger than the Mini, they are perfect for casual summery days.
Or you could choose the sassy Coral Hoop earrings - right now in bronze or Mediterranean. Coral Hoop is sassy - perfect for a beach barbeque!
Each earring comes in bronze alone or bronze with an oceany colour added - Seafoam or Mediterranean. You choose for your mood!

Seven Seas Collection is now live!
My new Seven Seas Collection is now live on my website. I have started the collection with bronze only pieces, along with two oceany colours: Mediterranean and Seafoam.

Mediterranean is a deep blue colour and Seafoam is a sparkly turquoise. There are earrings and necklaces. And two series of one of a kind pieces- Ocean Droplets and Ocean Pools. The shape is the same for each piece in the series, but the colours are applied individually, and will be different each time.

So go ahead and have a look!
Ultimately, there will be 7 colours...And you can stay tuned into the next release by grabbing a spot as insider. Just sign up with your email below.

Ocean drops and ocean pools
I am excited about these new necklaces - these two styles show off the beautiful bronze and also have fantastic ocean colours.

They are Ocean Pools and Ocean Drops. They are a repeatable design, but each one will be unique, as they are hand carved and hand coloured!

These beauties will be available real soon; so sign up with your email below, so you can be first to shop!

Sneak peek - Seven Seas jewelry collection coming soon!
I am pretty excited to be bringing you my new Seven Seas jewelry collection soon! This has been a colour and design quest to bring you pieces that you will be able to layer and combine with other jewelry you own.



One necklace idea, two ways
These two necklaces are siblings. This first one is larger and has a big personality. It makes a statement all on it's own.

The second one is smaller and shorter.

It likes to hang around with other necklaces, especially longer dangly ones.

Which one is your style? Check them both out here.

Ocean inspired treasure has arrived
What's inside the shells?

The shells contain ingredients for creativity, inspired by oceany things like the colour of water and seashells and barnacles and coral and the importance of oceans for our ecosystems.

Mix all that together, and you get the latest pieces in my Coastal Collection!

Cascade oceany statement necklaces
As an artist, I never really know how my pieces will turn out until they are done.

These two statement necklaces came together after playing around with the oceany blue glass beads and my bronze pieces.

I really like how they turned out.
They will be available in my next release. Insiders get to shop first, so get on my list and join them! Sign up with your email below.

Barnacle blues, as jewelry!
If you have been hanging around here, then you know that I am inspired by oceany things.

One of my favourite forms to create is the barnacled shell. Since all of the pieces I am currently working on are part of my collaboration with Kanna Glass Studio, these pieces of course incorporate her lovely, oceany blue beads.

These barnacle pieces will all be in my next release, which is coming before the end of the month.
