Man in the Moon Earrings




Man in the Moon Earrings
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 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!! 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
