Sneak peek- first photoshoot images…

Check out these first previews of Rizza’s photographs of my jewelry… she’s so talented, it’s like she took the images of exactly what I wanted right out of my head…

Samples from Rizza

Isn't she amazing?

Rizza also took my portrait- here are a few of the possibilities.  What do you think?

It's me!

Photoshoot!

Last Sunday I participated in a collaborative photoshoot with some exceptionally talented individuals.  Jody Siu of Flesh is a lingerie designer launching her first collection of gorgeous handmade intimates.  Rizza San Agustin is a genius with a camera- her eye for beauty and technique with the camera are stunning.  Check out some of here images at  http://rizzarizblog.com/. Trenell McClure did an amazing job with everyone’s hair and makeup, and Michelle Lee added her expertise as a stylist.  All the magic happened at a Victorian mansion in Oakland that’s in the process of renovation- picture huge windows, wide open spaces, and original architectural details with stripped floors, exposed beams, and demolished walls.  Here are a few pictures I snapped that day- a backdrop for the amazing model shots I’ll share with you later…

What’s that?

It's a mystery!

Question: What is that?

Answer: Wouldn’t you like to know. Looks like you’ll just have to come see me at the One of a Kind Show in NYC to find out.

Retiring Designs and SUMMER SALE!

All good things must (eventually) come to an end.

I am constantly thinking of new styles and designs- you guys know I love to innovate and keep things fresh!  In order to make room for a TON of new work for the fall/holiday season, I am retiring several of my tried-and-true designs.  They’ve been great, but the time has come to mix it up.  After September 15th, these styles will no longer be available.  Ever. So if you’ve been thinking about them, now’s the time!

Here’s the list of honorable retirees:

In order to send these designs out in style, I’m putting them on Sale!  Look for them in the Sale Section of my Etsy shop.  They’ll be 30-50% off!

In the spirit of freshening things up, I’m putting everything else on sale too! Between today and August 31st, everything on my website and Etsy Shop will be 20% off! This is the only sale I have planed for the rest of 2010.  Now is a great time to stock up for Christmas, birthdays, or just treat yourself.

Happy shopping!

A good day was had by all (excep for the part when I cut my knee on a broken wine glass and bled profusely everywhere...)
