Mother of Pearl Carved Shell & Tiger Eye Every-day Earrings
Mother of Pearl Carved Shell & Tiger Eye Every-day Earrings
Happy Friday !! Well, this isn't the first time I've had to make up a Friday Feature on the fly ...but it IS the first time I've had to do it out of the country completely away from my business with no samples or products. We could not get back last week due to Snowpocalypse ..(or in my case, IceMageddon in Nashville). So I needed to design a piece ...worthy of Friday Feature status ...with only the materials I had here in Italy. I have been working on the Story Stack bracelets ...so I decided to pull from that palette and create a pair of every day go-to basic earrings, easy to wear, that could also be everything to all people, places & things!!
A good taupe neutral IS "all the things," ...and probably one of my go-to colors for my winter basics like sweaters and layers. I tend to go way more neutral in the winter since I like to boldly accessorize. These beautiful little Mother-of-Pearl carved shells are a wonderful companion to both a neutral palette ...and also bold choices. They will blend in even with the most out-there jewelry, as they are both subtle and complementary.
I had to add a leeeetle Tiger Eye stone for its metaphysical properties of grounding, lifting emotional spirits, and courage. I myself find that especially encouraging as the worry of my Nashville house in the middle of the ice storm without power continues to mount. We are the worst power outage in the country, and it pretty much looks like an ice-war-zone.
Please send some thoughts and prayers for the people in Nashville without power. Especially for the homeless to find shelter, and for the infrastructure to hold.

Companion Pieces
Meet, THE perfect little necklace for all your fall pumpkiny colors, flavors and joys!! I have been waiting to use these beautiful, lustrous Tiger Eye gemstones for a while now, but I could just never find the right stone to pair them with. Really wanting to do a necklace to highlight the stone itself, so when these amazing dark bronze Pyrites came into my life, I knew my Tiger Eyes had met their gemstone soulmate! I love these two together, as each one complements the other so well ...and such perfection this time of year with all the warm tones of fall!! Tiger Eye is a gemstone of inner strength and determination. Paired with Pyrite, a gemstone of confidence, this is a great combination for the busyness that comes along with the holidays ...in keeping us going, but also grounded.
Fall is so often a time that gets lost in the shuffle of tasks ...but also really important to slow down, stop, and just enjoy the season...sometimes even in simple quiet. One of my good friends reminded me how important simple silence is ...so she has inspired me to remember that very important discipline in this crazy holiday time!! Enjoy!!
Tiger Eye Teardrop gems set on a 16" Pyrite strand measuring 16" in length with 2" of extra length for adjustability.
Nini Necklaces continue to be one of my most popular pieces!! They are not only wonderful basics, they layer so very beautifully with anything …from vintage, to super trendy, to your favorite go-to piece that you can’t seem to ever take off. Lovely simple pearls knotted around a showcase gemstone, this classic necklace will never be out of style and always be a go-to in all occasions. Enjoy!!
