What have I been doing? Obsessing over hoops...of course!
Remember these beauties from the recent gem and jewelry show? My fingers were itching to get them into some wearable form.
What I discovered is that the tourmaline slabs help these hoops swing from the ears in a gentle, lovely way that just feels so deliciously hippie chic.
They mingled so well with peridot and citrine...bff's.
These gorgeous brown sapphires were another strand of stones that had me itchy to start something. Now, bff's with faceted garnets. What a pairing.
Amazonite and chalcedony, anyone?
I'm packing up all these lovelies to bring with me to Phoenix where I'll be teaching a few classes and Art Unraveled and tending to my table at the vendor event. I think it's about 150 degrees with a chance of dust blizzards but...it's a dry heat. I'll love it.
Really.
See you there!
I was wondering about snagging up a pair of the Amazonite and chalcedony hoops shown above. Can you please email me with pricing & availability.

your hoops are gorgeous! i especially love the amazonite and chalcedony ones. are they heavy? i'm limited to really lightweight ones as i have almost no lobes.
i still wear the earrings i got from you years ago ( i have 2 pair) and they are both still some of my favorites.

you do some really beautiful work!! i love the Boho Bliss class also!! do you have any idea when you will be offering another online class?

Ohhh I'm loving the direction you are taking with these!!! You have managed to show off the beautiful romantic stones while maintaining the raw graphic metals. It's kinda like mixing liquid with ice and each component remains it's self while complementing the other. Awesome!!

PS have fun, I'm sure you will sell out as soon as you open. And you should think about teaching these in a workshop!!

WOW!! The colors are exquisite, the designs are so simply elegant! Hippie chic! I wish I could go to Pheonix to see these in person.

Can't wait to see you! And uh, hate to break it too you but it's not so dry here right now. Sticky would best describe it... like I'm living somewhere else. I'm waiting for "normal" to return here cuz it's way better than this. It's just plain gross.

These are all great, Deryn. Love the new combos! I wish I could see you in Phoenix, but I'm not taking any classes. Hopefully, the weather will hold for you and you won't see too many storms!
