Bracelets for Spring!!!

Bracelet season is finally here!

After months of hiding beneath sweaters and long sleeves, wrists are anxious to peek out and steal the show!

Bracelets have long been my favorite jewelry item. I love to look down and see some colorful gems twinkling back at me. Unlike necklaces or earrings which I can't see and enjoy once I have them on, a bracelet reminds me of its presence throughout the day. (And that's a big plus for a gemstone addict like myself!)

In the world of handmade jewelry bracelets tend to get stuck on the back burner, and truly special pieces seem to be hard to come by. Thankfully, there some great artists on Etsy who are filling the need for fabulous, luxurious bracelets. So I wanted to feature a few of my favorites:

As for me, I've determined to focus extra attention on my line of bracelets for my Spring Collection. Here's a glimpse of what's new in my shop:

So wrap your wrist in something truly special as we celebrate the warm spring weather!

FREE EARRINGS!!!

It's been a while since I've done a giveaway on my blog or in my Etsy shop, so I just couldn't resist doing something special in March.

My favorite jewelry look is to combine simple earrings with a bold statement necklace and a great bracelet. (My next post will be all about bracelets!) So as much as I love making beautiful intricate wire wrapped earrings with lots of sparkling gemstones, I must admit that this is not the style earring I wear everyday.

So I created these very simple, modern, classic earrings and named them Marguerite; which means "pearl". They're created in a unique curly shape which really stands out.

And since I'm feeling generous, I've decided to share them with the world- for free!
With every purchase of $50 or more in my Etsy store during the month of March, I will send a free pair of Marguerite earrings. (With a limit of one free pair per customer.)
