Valentine Specials--You are my sunshine !

Valentines Day is almost upon us....a time for love, romance and letting the special people in our lives know how much they mean to us.



The weather outside is glorious...sunny, warm with bright blue skies.......and thus struck inspiration!



These cute little gold sun charms made me smile when I saw them. They are cute and shiny. They reminded me of the classic song "You are my sunshine".


You are my Sunshine

They are simply strung on gold chain and wire to make a pair of earrings and a necklace.



 No embelishments, nothing extra, just pure golden sunshine to let the special someone know how much they brighten your life.

Flower Jewelry Set

Elegant Sophestication

Last week, I was commissioned to create a jewelry set to match a dress. The wearer of the dress was going to a special dinner and wanted something simple yet stunning to wear.

The dress is brown with just a touch of gold in the neckline and sleeves. The material is silk so it changed shades depending on how the light caught it.

Brown is not an easy color palette to work with. It can appear dull and lifeless if not treated well. What...oh what can I do...??





Then inspiration struck....mother of pearl beads in a brown shade to match the opaline glow of the dress and instead of using gold beads as accents, how about gold wire to loop the beads together.


Here is the complete set.......

Mother of Pearl Necklace and Earrings



 Hooray....it worked. ! This brown is definitely not dull.
The soft shine of the beads is offset beautifully by the gold wire.
 Mother of pearl complements all skin tones and creates a magical glow making it perfect for evening wear.

Needless to say, it made for one special night out !











Midnight Jasmine

Midnight Jasmine

The New Year is here...time for resolutions, renewals and rejuvenation.
What can be more energizing and exhilarating than the fragrance of fresh jasmine !



In Madras (now called Chennai) where I'm from, this is the dance and music season. Women dress up in their best silk saris and wear jasmine flowers in their hair while attending concerts.
The waft of jasmine perfuming the night air is one of my fondest memory of the Dec- Jan season.
This set is an homage to that.






Red flower glass beads and creamy, textured glass pearls come together beautifully in this jewelry set, perfect for creating memories of your own.
