Bad Hair Days

I got started making bobby and hair pins while growing my own hair out late last summer. I couldn't find what I wanted, and so I designed some that definitely saved me on those days when my hair was frankly, well, scary ;) What started out as a couple of extra sets I made as a kind of one-time thing has grown into lots of requests and interest, so I've been stocking some new pairs over the last few weeks. Many of these are currently listed in the store, and some can even be recreated, depending on the materials I used. I've done pairs for bridesmaids and brides, as well, so if you see something you love but can't find it in the store, drop me a line or convo and I will see what I can do!

Sultry Nights- A Treasury of One of a Kind Elegance

I love finding beautiful things that are a little different, unique, or a less common color than the usual. Here is my latest collection of favorite things, inspired by my fav color as a child- purple.

Queen Victoria Meets Twilight

When I got this vintage jewel, i took one look at its perfect triangular facets and decided it needed a setting that would take it from beautiful to WOW. Its so rare to find a glass jewel this size without chips and cracks, from age if nothing else-

So it has perched on my studio table for about a month while i set it, then began trying to create just the right setting. I truly have fallen in love with the substantial bracelet that resulted-

This is the second larger piece I have done recently, and i definitely see more in my future...
