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!

A necklace that is full of summer vibes
I love summer vibes - the warm sun on my shoulders.
A walk along the seaside or beach.
This necklace is perfect for invoking that summery feeling.

Seaside summer earrings
Summer at the seaside is lighthearted and fun. Relaxing in a deck chair with a book. Or beachcombing for treasure, like sea glass or shells or even interesting rocks and driftwood.
These Ocean Curl earrings are the perfect summer accessory: light and colourful!
You can check out all available Ocean Currents pieces in my shop.

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.

How to style bronze jewelry for summer
I have talked about my Captiva earrings and Capella pendant before.
And with the summer weather finally arrived, having these two simple pieces of jewelry to throw on makes my day.
I thought I would show them off "in action" together. This is the other morning, waiting for the bus. If I turn to my left, I can gaze out over Haro straight. The birds, deer and bunnies can all make appearances. It's not quite as rural as it looks, but it is peaceful.

Summertime and the {bronze} earrings are easy
The summer is heating up - lots of sunshine and high temperatures.
I want my summertime earrings to be an easy "go to".
My Captiva earrings are just that for me. Light and breezy. They are even named after a sun soaked island!
Psst - there will be some changes coming 'round here. No, I am not going anywhere, just switching things to keep it interesting! If you want to be first in on anything new, then be sure to sign up to my email list!
Change of perspective?
Have you ever had a change of perspective? One that made you wonder and gave you hope? I was talking about choice and decisions in my last post. My modus operandi being "take charge" to follow my path, and also allowing whims to take centre stage in my choices.
This week, I had a different experience. Instead of looking for a way to muscle my way through, because I *think* I have to, I have taken a bit of step backwards to consider where I AM.
To consider how being where I am works in my favour, instead of against me. Instead of struggling to the "next" thing because I am "supposed" to want it, do it, be it (who the heck decided that anyway!?!), I am settling in to the flow.
So much easier than trying to swim upstream.

Swinging {bronze} beads?
Someone made this awesome driftwood swing at the bead.
Swinging is one of those activities that can transport you to another time and place. Perhaps a carefree moment of childhood. Or in my case, our summer lake cabin. Makes me smile and relax all at the same time.
I thought my Martinique necklace was a perfect match for this swing. You can let it transport you away...

Tropical colours and {bronze} necklaces
Soon, we will officially pass into summer. That got me thinking about tropical locations.
We have a temperate climate here, not too - not too cold. So we don't experience the hot, tropical heat.
What about some tropical colours instead? Red for tropical flowers, like orchids. Greens for all the foliage of a tropical land. Golds, a warm colour for your jewelry. Even though my pieces are bronze, they do have that warm gold colour.
Umbrella drink anyone?

Steel jewelry and summer blues
I am partial to blues right now. All oceany and beachy under the summer sun. I am loving my steel pendant and earrings with sea green and ocean blue enamels. Can you feel the tradewind breezes?
Both of these are prototypes for my upcoming collections.

You CAN wear black (jewelry) in summer!
I do it...
YES, I wear black in the summer.
Black tops and black, steel jewelry. I just make sure there is a pop of colour - in this case, sea green on my steel ocean current pendant.
