New jewelry just arrived @ artSHAK studio + gallery...

New jewelry arrived at artSHAK studio + gallery last week.

There are 21 new pieces available...3 necklaces, 17 pairs of earrings, and one new ring!

These new additions are a little more simply compared to most of my pieces...a little understated, yet they are all still crafted out of high quality gemstone beads and pearls.

So, if you are in the area, stop by and check it out! :)

New...Spring inspired...

I had a wonderful time playing around in my makeshift studio this week! I made quite a few pieces...

I've been really inspired lately...perhaps by all of the green and Spring flowers! :)

Not quite finished with all of the pieces, but here's a sneak peek!





I've never really had a "collection" of similar pieces...I have made some similar pieces, but not enough to be considered a collection! ...but I enjoyed making the sterling flowers so much, I think I may create a whole collection of flower jewelry! :) Now for a name for the collection! LOL ;)

Beautiful earrings....

Oh yeah, I bought a pair of lovely earrings yesterday from MSBELLE on Etsy. Ginger, aka msbelle, is one of my friends from here (Charlotte, NC), that makes the most beautiful jewelry! I have been admiring them for a while! :) I can't believe that they hadn't sold sooner!

I bought them for my mom for Mother's Day! I know she is going to love them! :)

Here's a picture of them....from her Etsy Shop!

Okay...I'm going now! LOL :)
