Prices

I'm into a good deal. Like, really into a good deal. And I just wouldn't feel good about myself if I wasn't offering you a good deal. And part of offering you the best price is that I usually don't use sterling silver. I like it-who doesn't?-but it's spendier. BUT, I do love using it, so if you'd like it on your piece, let me know and I'll gladly substitute sterling silver and let you know the price difference on that particular piece. Usually, it's about $2 extra per item.

And I do a flat 3 bucks for shipping. Buy as much as you like-still just 3 smackers.

Cheers!

Let's Talk Custom

Anything is possible! If you see something you like, but wish I had used a red bead instead of a pink one, let me know! I can switch things up and make it just right for you. Or, you've been thinking that golly, you sure wish you had a neon pink pair of earrings but just can't find what you're looking for in the store? While I can't promise, let's talk about it and maybe I can make just what you've been hoping for.

And do you know what I love best? I love to make something specially and specifically for you. I've had a number of orders where they said to me something along the lines of, "Hey, my sister is young, funky and loves bright colors" or, "My friend is modest and sweet and loves purple" and then I try to translate those adjectives into an earring. Then, I think it's cool that you can say to her, "Hey, I told the "jeweler" all about how you are this this and this, and these earrings are what she came up with." It's like you're wearing a jewelry incarnation of all your best qualities, or something. Anyway... Or, if you find a picture of something else you love, give me a shout, maybe I can duplicate it. (I'll definitely let you know if I can't.)

Ok, but the tricky thing with making a custom piece is that usually, in order to keep my prices low, I shop clearance. But if you want something very specific, chances are, I won't be able to find it on clearance. It's the nature of the beast. So, if you want a custom item, that's great! And I'm delighted to do it for you! But the price might not be exactly as cheap as my norm. You get what I'm sayin' here? Obviously, I'll still try to get you the best deal possible! Okay. Glad I got that off my chest.

Charmed, I'm sure!

I can add charms to whatever you like! Letter charms would be an additional $2. That's easy. But what if, say, you love fleur de lis and sea shells and cowboy boots and you'd just love to have some of them on your piece? Lemme know, I'll price it out for you and then I'll let you know how much extra it would be.

Tribal

People, do you want to know one of the saddest things about the fact that we had to move? Okay, at our old place, I had discovered a number of good picture taking rocks. You wouldn't believe how rocks can make a girl's day, but they can. I have scoured my new house and my new neighborhood. There are NO great rocks to be found! So, sorry that my pictures keep getting lamer... and lamer... for this one I was reduced to putting my bracelet on a piece of paper! A piece of paper. Honestly. It's a travesty.






Do you have any graphic black and white prints? Here you go. This will match.


Bracelet: $10

Earrings: $3.50 (They're little. :)

Plummy

Just for fun, some plummy little earrings. The perfect shade of plum.



$5

Washed Away








So this is mother of pearl shell in all different shapes and sizes, some exceedingly tiny shells, with a few chunks of magnesite mixed in. It's shellsy fabulous. Possibly my favorite, it goes with everything, and it just feels so summery beachy fun.

Earrings: $5
Bracelet: $10
Necklace: $45

Whole set: $55

Cheerful







Pink magnesite (sometimes called pink turquoise, though it isn't actual turquoise), and mother of pearl shell. Honestly. It's so fun. I think it looks awesome with any white shirt. Girly and fun and cheerful.

Earrings: $5
Bracelet: $10
Necklace: $25

Whole set: $35

Creamy Coin Pearls

So listen, these are coin pearls-real, freshwater pearls-in the most FABULOUS shape! These are truly classy. These would look great with ANYTHING you wear! Jeans, white shirt-anything! After I made these I slapped 'em on to see how they look-I was wearing sweats and Ryan's big BYU sweatshirt, and I felt like a princess. (What? It's okay that it's 4 o'clock and I'm essentially wearing jammies. I'm pregnant! I get a pass!) Seriously, though, I put them on and felt an instant boost. Classy, pretty, elegant=good. Give 'em to...your mom? Your grandma? Oh, better yet-your MOTHER IN LAW! These are a perfect mother in law gift.





$10

Oh, and PS-They make coin pearls in a plethora of colors-champagne, sweet deep purple, dusky rose, gorgeous green, peacock grey (is that a color?) Anyway, there's a lot of options if you're interested.

Breaking news: After a request, I created a bracelet to go with this set. I mean, I'm trying to be humble, but I think it's FABULOUS! And it's being modeled by the delighted mother who received it as a gift!


Again, with all these darn spendy pearls-this bracelet is $20.

Radiant

You're my friend so I'm going to be real honest with you. I do not want you to buy these. These are hard for me to part with. I struggled with even putting them up here. But it is Christmas. I'm going to give them up for your greater good.
They are so cute. So perfect. Just the right color, just the right little dangle, just the right little interesting thing happening to them... man I love 'em!


Only one pair left. First come first serve on these little friends, I'm afraid.


$6

Spring

Can you name a little girl Spring? Because after these earrings, I am seriously considering it. Spring Weed. Oh. Right. Nevermind. I just love these little things! Spring, summer, anytime! Anything floral or pink or green that you've got-here you go. Lovely little bobbly earrings. They just grow on me. The more I look at them, the more I love them. So what if I put 3 pictures up of the exact same earring? I dig it.







$5

Blue Crush











This serene little collection features amazonite and mother of pearl. It's soft and calm, and still fun.


Earrings: $7.50
Bracelet: $12.50
Full Necklace: $25.00
Pendant: $5

Set with Full Necklace: $40
Set with Pendant: $20

(Let me know if you need a wire or a chain to put the pendant on, and I'll price it out and get back to you!)

Pink Punch

Get. Serious. Go ahead. Get serious with me. Look me in the eye and tell me you don't love these. You do. You must. If you don't, you must have some long-standing childhood issues with the color pink (and if that happens to be the case, then I know a good therapist who might be able to help you address that problem. And when you complete your therapy with said therapist, she will probably give you these earrings as a symbol of how far you've come. And you'll wear them every day with happiness and joy in your little heart because you have finally been able to embrace pink.)
Yeah, I pretty much think these are life changers, right here.





$5

Just for you to think about-for this particular pair, I went with just the straight pink because it's a gift for someone I don't know, and I wanted to stay a little safe. This same pair could include some little bits of black, which would also be DARLING!

A Study in Fabulousness




I have a crush on this color combination of coral and turquoise. This is actually turquoise magnesite, mixed with coral. It's so fun, so poppy, so bold. Love it!
If you want to order one of these, just specify which one you're interested after you add it to your cart.

Each bracelet shown: $10

Pearl Drops

Look at these. Just look! Aren't they calling to you? They call to me, man. I love 'em. Gorgeous freshwater pearls, so simple, so elegant, but so unique! So different! Look at the color on those babies! So gorgeous.







Also, I should let you know that this is a limited quantity item. Like, quantity: one.

$7.50 for the earrings
$20 for the bracelet

Violet

Delicate, lovely, sweet-just Violet.




$5

Dark Turquoise

These were designed for someone who specifically wanted a turquoise and black mix for an earthy, organic lady. I feel that we've hit the mark, don't you?


Whoa. Tricksy photography, huh? Looks like these suckers are towering over you. They're normal sized. Though they are powerful, don't worry, they won't romp all over you in your sleep.

$5

The Natural

You can't go wrong with these. Neutrals. I mean, who's going to say to you, "No, I never wear anything white or creamy or brown?" Please. Here you go.



$5

Mercedes

So there's a fun story about how these earrings came to be in existence. A friend requested a set of earrings for a new sister in law who she'd never met yet, BUT said sister-in-law did have a blog. So, I spied out her blog and tried to get a sense for who this gal is, and this is what I came up with. Chic, trendy, modern, clean lines. Mercedes. There you are.




Don't ask me why, but these photographed looking yellowish. They're not. They're greenish. The stone is called Olive Jade-so really, these aren't yellow. Why don't I fix it so it looks more true to it's real color? I don't really know how. Just trust me. This is a greenish stone-it's the same stone as I used in Sweet Celery, where it looks more green. Anyway...

$5

UPDATED: The new sister-in-law LOVED them!  She asked my friend how on earth she picked the perfect pair of earrings for her without ever meeting before.  Ahem.  I don't want to brag, but... :)

Best Friend

This set is like your best friend. When it's with you, it makes you better. Seriously. I made this for someone's mother-in-law and I fell in complete love with it. (Just fyi-I often wear jewelry before I sell it, just to make sure it won't break or something. Anyway...) Without fail, every time I wore this friendly set, people commented on it. Always. It's honestly striking. Yeah. I'll be making myself a set soon. I must. Think of this-on a tan-ish or brownish shirt/sweater? Don't LIE to me, that's FABULOUS!
