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 Everyone!! I know how you guys love the little Nini Necklaces ...and this particular Friday Feature is a variation on those. I got these little Pink Opal and Pyrite Mohave stones a while back ...and didn't know what to do with them. They sat all lonely in a drawer for the longest time ...as many of my stones do. I'm sad for them when that happens, but sometimes they just have to be patient!! The right companion stones & ideas are eventually coming ...and then they get to step up and shine.
I decided that a great fall staple was in their future. You know ..I get a little hopeful for certain stones. I want them to be high performers ..or otherwise I feel bad for them!! 🤣🤣 So on certain favorites of mine, I probably add a little extra pressure and want things to be just right with all the right gemstones. The Orange Variegated Moonstones are a really fab addition to these tiny little pink & brown montages of color ...and the perfect fall neutral. This is a really fabulous every day fall piece. You can wear it with every color ...and it adds just a little fall to everything. Enjoy!
These are all 100% HAND-knotted. Please be patient. And understand that Friday Features are not always a quick fix item. Sometimes they are ...and I can get pieces right out to you. But sometimes each piece is hand-done and will take a little bit of time. I've been working on these here in Italy ...and hope to be finished before I come home next week. Take note: *Each stone is a little bit different...as each stone has slight variations in its patterns.
Pink Opal & Gold Pyrite center stone (10mm long) with Orange & Silver Grey Moonstones, hand-knotted 17" in length, with two extra inches in the clasp for variability for a total of 19" in length. Reg $58, Promo $38
Happy Friday Everyone!! Back in Italy, and I have a reaaaallly great Friday Feature that ALSO happens to involve Italy this week. I've been planning this one for a while ...and I wanted to get it just right. I got to combine three of my favorite things for today ...Italy, Handcrafted, and Stars!!
These three entities culminated in these beautiful, modular, Venetian Glass Star Earrings ...which end up being a great way to mix & match, even MIS-match if you want to. Go for a black and white set of each where you can wear one black & one white, a set of blue and red, a set of orange & white (especially if you are a Tennessee VOL 🧡). I have been wearing my orange set a lot lately. If you prefer more neutrals or basics, the Black set is perfect, as is the white. The green ...also fabulous for year round!! Whatever you decide, you can choose your hoop metal preference, and then choose your color set.
THESE ARE SOLD SEPARATELY AS A SET OF HOOPS & A SET OF STARS so you can choose an extra set of stars should you want to!! Remember to choose the appropriate metal preference you would like for each one. Its a little bit different this feature ...with many choices, so just keep your eye on that.
These WILL TAKE ME A BIT OF TIME!! I didn't pre-fabricate these ...as I have a limited amount of each set of Venetian Stars. They are sold in sets of TWO of the same color, and I make them as ordered in the corresponding precious metal. I didn't want to pre-make them and have an extra set with the wrong metal after everyone made their choices. Please be patient with these ...I will go as fast as I can!! 🙏🏼
Fabulous, hand-crated Venetian Glass Stars made in Murano, Italy in either Sterling Silver or 14k Gold Filled (*choose metal in Drop menu ...the system will also require you to choose bullet point selection), then choose your STAR color & metal choice as well. Reg. $58/60 Promo $38/40
Happy Friday Everyone!! Now THIS is a fun Friday Feature!! Its Bracelet-Palooza!!! I LOVE a good bracelet stack, but especially in the fall. When we get a little bit more "sweatered-up" I don't like wearing much in the way of necklaces on the outside of my chunky sweaters. Its just a recipe for snags. SOOOO I go a little bit more of a statement with my bracelets and earrings. I put together a collection of EASY fall, very inexpensive bracelets ...that can layer any one with each other ...and also most likely with some bracelets you guys have. Any one of these are beautiful with fall tones and the browns and soft neutrals of an autumn palette.
PLEASE refer to the styling video included ...some of these are very chonky ...so know that going in. These big, gorgeous resin statement bracelets are very of the season right now ...a little bit of a nod to the 80's ...(my jewelry coming of age). I was just getting into jewelry in the 80's in middle school, so I love this style coming back full circle. My favorites are the big, colorful resin beads with the big gold chunks!! Those will be on high rotation for me all of fall. Grab a couple or an assortment you think you may love for fall. They are also going to make great gifts, even just wrapped around a champagne bottle for a hostess gift. A FABULOUS price point ...you can't go wrong with any of these ...and enjoy Bracelet-Palooza!!!
These are FAB layered together ...Love the "Neutrals with Gold & the Faux Tortoise Bamboo" and the "Big Bead Confetti with the Turquoise Beads with Gold Accent" ...you really can't go wrong. They ALL are FAB!!
*These are ready to go and will ship out as ordered !!

Happy Friday from Italy!! Ok - y'all don't hate me ...but this is another really great Friday Feature!! I absolutely LOVE this beauty ...and I've been wearing mine as a layer in with my other Turquoise all the time. When I was out west earlier this summer, I came across a similar piece that I loved ...with the Navajo pearl detailing ...but it was really reeeaaalllly pricey (into the several hundreds). I carried it in my Summer Trunk Show ...and it sold out, but I knew I wanted to design a similar, less expensive piece for a Friday Feature. I sourced the silver saucer & round beads and the ombré Turquoise ...and went to work. I really love the end result ...a lovely layer you can mix in with anything. I've even mixed it in with my long gold charm necklace. Of course, this piece is incredible as a stand-alone as well. Classic, never out of style, this is a staple.
The Ombré Turquoise itself makes this an easy go-to for any of your existing Turquoise ...as it has pretty much every color of Turquoise any of our mines have to offer. I always mix & match my Turquoise anyway ...But if you are a purist and want your Turquoise to all coordinate ...don't fear, this will work!! I decided on a lovely & sturdy sterling silver clasp with adjustability for easy layering, so this can easily become a go-to staple in your every day year-round wardrobe. Enjoy!!!
*These are ready to go, and Helen will ship them to you as ordered until they are sold out.

Happy Friday from Panicale, Italy! Love today's Friday Feature as they are really wonderful transition pieces from summer to fall ....and especially into winter. I love winter whites ...so so much as its just a very classic, crisp beautiful look in the winter. When I can combine the actual color white with the white of a Mother of Pearl, its double the happiness! The fact that these are also "Man in the Moon" faces just seal the deal for me.
I've been wearing my own personal pair during my time here in Italy ...and they are so easy because they go with everything. From my colorful linen sundresses for day outings to leveling up my casual grocery store clothes (*Italians dress well even to go to the grocery store), I always feel put together in these. Just the right amount of fall, semi-statement without too much length and hardly any weight, these are a really fabulous, classic set to always have and enjoy!!
*I let you guys choose your precious metal with these ...so I will make them as ordered for the specific metal ...as I only have a limited number of "men in the moon" carved gems.
"Man in the Moon” earrings, hand-carved set in either 14k gold-filled or sterling silver with a small accent pearl including silicon backs for security, with an overall length of approx one inch. Reg. $56 Promo $34
Happy Friday Everyone!! Well ...it has definitely gotten colder in Italy ...and I'm about to find out if that is also true in Tennessee. When that weather shifts ...and what the Italian Nonnas warn about with the Colpa D'Aria (the draft), its pretty much time for scarves!!! YAY! Who would have thought I would run into the Kasmir Cashmere guys at the Milan show ...but I did. And I'm so happy it worked out like that because this is a really fabulous Friday Feature! I'm pretty obsessed with Wool & Cashmere in general ...natural fibers being not only functional, but also healing. Their frequency (I know ...totally woo woo ...but measure it) is actually significantly higher than ours. So the ideal of wool and cashmere raising your vibration isn't just a woo-woo wives tale! Its a legitimate, measurable occurrence.
Since I could absolute NOT choose between these fabulous colorways ...I pretty much just chose all three for this Friday Feature. I do have limited numbers of each style ...so if you see a favorite, grab it quickly because I imagine these will go fast. All of the wool & cashmere I curate is good quality, will last you years and years, and quickly become a fan favorite. I normally have most of mine retailing around $148 - $168 ...so to have these as a Friday Feature is definitely a great find. I hope you guys enjoy them!
These are ready to go and will ship immediately!
