Friday Features
Each week, we feature a special piece created just for our clientele. Be sure to follow us on Instagram & Facebook - both at @soulandstoryshop to see videos of our features every Friday!
Happy Friday!! The Summer Trunk Show is still going, so scroll down just below that to find today's Friday Feature. These beautiful, Green Onyx Star Earrings are SO fun for now ...and a great transition piece into fall. They are a great way to get a little bit of a statement look ...without the weight, the size or the cost. Affordable, yet genuine stones & pearls, plus quality gold-filled, these are a great Friday Feature that will last you wear after wear.
If you happened to get the Mother of Pearl Bird with Green Onyx Star & Smoky Topaz Necklace last fall ...these are the same star ...only in an earring. Its a perfect match, and can work really well in with that set ...OR, just pull your Green Onyx star charm onto a simple gold chain, and you have a beautiful matching set. I'm not a super matchy-matchy girl ...but I would love these earrings, with that star charm and a few other coordinating charms to match. If you don't have that necklace, these are great stand-alones ...but also a color you can coordinate with so many existing pieces of jewelry from Friday Features in the past!!
*These are all ready to go and will ship out immediately!!

Happy Friday!! Thanks to everyone who tuned in for the Summer Online Trunk Show this past Sunday. The IG live is available in If you go to my instagram page (Its the reel of me holding the oval horse pendant). Also, the Trunk Show is online where the Friday Feature usually is, so just scroll down a little bit and you'll see the FF. Its a really good one, so I don't want you to miss it. Plus, this is a great piece to keep in the gift box / stash!! (really fun teacher's gifts for back to school)!!
I featured a very similar one in Aquamarine & multi-colored heishi early last year ...which sold out ..so I decided to feature both of these necklaces for all my new people. If you have that one, both of these are great additional layers, and although they look very similar, they have slight differences. Both include Turquoise spaced throughout, but the vintage heishi beads are either multi-colored or turquoise ombre.
Both are equally beautiful, and even look great layered together. You'll see the adjustability in the clasp makes for easy layering. These also layer well with bigger chunky pieces and pendants to add some texture & color. Its really your own preference and style. A great price point, these are so fun for summer ...but also great moving into fall. Beautiful with a light scoop-neck sweater and jeans ...these are so simple, but also a very nice, stylish on-trend look.
*These are all ready to go and will ship out in the next few days.
Beautiful heishi bead necklaces with Turquoise highlight stones ..in two styles (Turquoise & Multi) both measuring 16" with an extra inch in the clasp for layering for a total of 17" *Choose style in drop menu. Reg. $42 Promo $26
Happy Friday!! I always love various kinds of trade beads …from Sub-Saharan Africa, to Central and Southeast Asia, and South America. However, they actually originated in Murano, Italy …with very specific parameters …and a closely guarded secret on their fabrication. From mille-fiori to chevrons to various decorative shapes, the Venetian glass guild made their beads worthy of trade. Eventually, these migrated through the Silk Road throughout the east and south …and countries started adopting their own ways of making them. The Friday Feature bracelets are all glass trade beads ...from Central Asia, Ghana, and Southeast Asia.
Instead of making these a stackable set of three, I made these three separate product entries ...so you can grab only one, two, or all three ...whatever combo you would like to make. I love love love all of them. The two chevron sets will look very much the same bracelet to bracelet ...but do take note, each of the African beads are hand-made ...and will vary from bracelet to bracelet. They all have the same overall feel ...but will vary in colors and shapes. These larger African bead bracelets are one-of-a-kind and each one is unique..
*These are all completely hand-done, in the process of being made this week and next and will ship in the next few days. If you order in the Summer Online Trunk Show on Sunday, Jessica will do her best to combine your shipping if the weight works out.
Fabulous trade bead bracelets ...in three different variations. *Choose in drop menu. Reg. $42-$56 Promo $26-$38
Happy Friday!! The Lapis beauty is going to continue this week because I have these gorgeous Lapis gemstones just burning a hole in one of my jewelry drawers. In fact, they didn't spend much time there ...as I wanted to use them right away. Classic, old world, earthy, Lapis Lazuli has been used for millennia ...for decoration, carvings, sculpture, pigment, and of course jewelry. The Latin root word of "Lapis" is simply "stone," and the word Lazuli is the base word for blue in many languages. Frida Kahlo's favorite color of blue ...lapis blue cobalt is the basis for her the name of her home in Coyacan, Mexico City ...Casa Azul.
Lapis is one of those stones that tends to go with everything ...any color, also any style. You can pair it with Turquoise SO beautifully. Any neutral ...taupe, olive, chocolate, black ...its gorgeous with any of those rich colors. Also, don't be afraid to pair this gorgeous hue of blue with fuchsia, red, orange, even a brighter green. In fact, deep pink and indigo is one of my favorite combinations ...and I find that I use it pairing up textiles quite often. Its a surprise combo that never disappoints !! Often associated with the throat chakra, it is said to be historically a stone of Truth ...using our voices, staying strong in our convictions, and walking through life with wisdom. I love how gemstones have historical associations and significance. Lapis for sure is a classic look, and this simple piece is a wonderful addition to any stylish woman's collection. Wear it to the beach, wear it traveling, wear it layered with all your favorites ...just make it unique to your own style. Enjoy!!
*These are all completely hand-done, already hand-knotted by Jessica and ready to go. They will ship immediately!!
Beautiful, hand-cut and polished Lapis rondelles hand-knotted measuring 17" with a sterling silver clasp and 2 extra inches for easy layering and extra length making them 19” total. Reg. $68 Promo $42
Happy Friday!! In the spirit of Lapis ...like last week's beautiful Friday Feature, I decided to bump this FF that I had scheduled for later this summer up to this week. Its a perfect companion for last week's Sea to Sky piece ...and so many of you are in the love affair with Lapis like I am. How could you not love this beautiful ocean blue color!!! Its classic & sublime ...on trend, but never out of style. It also pairs really well with Turquoise, Orange, Red, Pink, Green ...ok, so anything!!
I picked every one of these beautiful hand-carved Lapis stones out one by one ...and knew they would be perfect for this simple cuff. As all the jewelry influencers & trend-makers are all saying ..."Silver is the New Gold," ...which really is not far from the truth. Silver's price point is triple what it was for us last year. But I designed these cuffs to be heavy on color, light on silver (well, as light as I could go and maintain good structure)!! Please refer to the Friday Feature video to make sure you understand taking these on and off carefully to protect the joints and the longevity of your piece !!!A perfect layering bracelet ...and equally beautiful as a stand-alone, this is a great addition to anyone's fine jewelry collection, plus they make a really nice gift!! Enjoy!!
*These are all completely hand-done,already fabricated and ready to go. They will ship immediately!!
*Please allow for slight variations in each stone, as each one is cut & carved by hand from the overall rough. While they are calibrated in size, each stone has slight natural color differences.
Beautiful, hand-carved Lapis Flower, set in a simple sterling silver bezel and sterling cuff. Reg. $110 Promo $60
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!!
*These are all ready to go and will ship out immediately!!
