Raw Australian Opal Layering Necklace
Raw Australian Opal Layering Necklace
Happy Friday !! A great simple layering necklace is a perfect summer staple. I have been in Italy for almost three weeks, and loving my layering pieces I can wear with just about anything. Often in summer we want light, airy ...and jewelry that doesn't weigh us down or create extra heat. I love light layering pieces for this exact reason.
These beautiful Raw Australian Opals are a perfect light summer layer, plus the earthy feel of the opals are perfect for an easy, breezy summer wardrobe. A little bit lavender, a little bit taupe, a little bit pink ...these check alot of boxes for a great complimentary piece. And even though the clasp doesn't show, I do let you choose your metal color because I know everyone has preferences and this is a piece that can accommodate either.
Opals are a little different than a traditional "crystaline" gemstone ...and are called "amorphous." While not considered a lightweight stone, they are indeed lighter than their crystaline, more structured counterparts. I love this particular cut of raw opals as they remind me a little bit of cut shells ...making them a really beautiful companion for summer pieces & styling. Enjoy!!
*These do have to be strung and the clasp set. Jessica will string each one by hand ...and handcrafted items take some time, please be patient.

Recent Friday Features
Happy Friday !! As fish seem to continue to be all the rage, you know I had to have a summer Friday Feature showcasing the little reticulated feeesh everyone seems to be obsessed with. While I LOVE the vintage ones ...and have had a few in the past for trunk shows), I had to source a larger number if I wanted to have them as a Friday Feature.
I also wanted to have multiple options for you guys, layering, charm possibilities and versatility along with the cute little fish!! I decided on these fab African trade beads, as they are so fun to layer for summer, plus a great mid-length layer for pretty much any other charm you want to try out.
The clasp itself is a push through clasp (almost like a little carabiner) where you can attach the necklace itself ...and also the fish ...and extra charms if you so choose. *Please refer to the video for an explanation!! Its tricky to figure out, but so easy and versatile once you have it!! Have fun with this one ...lots of endless options!! Enjoy.
*These do have to be strung and the clasp set... as Jessica will build each one by hand. Handcrafted items take some time, please be patient.

Happy Friday from Italy!! I thought being back in Italy I might re-surface a design I did last year while also in Italy. This is the third iteration of these beauties in a different colorway, and they continue to be such a popular design. Lightweight, and yet just enough of a statement, these have become a fan favorite, and while they are very labor intensive, I do love the end results!!
Its always fun to choose color combinations, but when I saw these gorgeous Red Onyx, I felt like they chose the Turquoise accent color themselves! Great for summer, but equally beautiful through the winter to incorporate pops of color, these are sure to become your easy go-to year-round favorites. Enjoy!!

Happy Friday !! I always like having a set of earrings that are appropriate for the season that I'm in ...and I can throw on every day without having to think too much!! I'm heading to Alexandria this weekend, and it will be a very quick trip up and back, and I want to pack really light. I grabbed these for myself to be my every day ....as they will go with whatever necklace or bracelet stack I layer in. I knew that I had them saved out for a Friday Feature, so I decided to go ahead with those today!! Creatures in jewelry & accessories are a bit of an east coast thing actually ...palmettos, bees, dragonflies, cicadas ...even lobstahs!! So this Friday is perfect for these adorable leetle bees.
I wear mine ALL the time ...as they are the perfect little add-on, without being too boring. I love that they go with anything ...from sundresses & jumpsuits to jeans & a tee, to a more dressed up tailored look. They are a wonderful little sculptural staple ...and a nod to east coast refined style.
*The little summer-bees are ready to ship and will go out immediately.

Companion Pieces
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!!
