Every girl needs a few glittery baubles to accent the sparkle in her eyes and the shimmer in her smile. Or maybe it's just that ladies have racoon tendencies and get easily absorbed by shiny things??
Regardless, here are a couple of *affordable* handmade jewelry boutiques that you really should frequent: (note: This also goes for any handsome boyfriends that I know who are just dying to buy their loving moms-to-be something simple, yet significant. </hint> )
We Dream in Color - Designer Jade Gedeon lives what appears to be a charmed life raised in Trinidad, creating jewelry and living it up in Australia. *sigh* I also stalk her on Flickr where she regularly posts pieces of Lomo-esque goodness.
So get something pretty sent home and check out this amazing vintage crystal and brass necklace, hammered brass Olympia necklace or the Lucite pendant. There is nothing on this Web site that would not look amazing on you.
My Precious Studio - Tattoos and religious imagery are major creative drivers for designer Tere Hernandez-Bonet. I really dig all the flaming sacred heart necklaces, sweet angel wings and the funky red epoxy resin milagro heart pieces as well.
Really cool combos of pretty, funky, unique and artistic - I love creative jewelry artists who aren't afraid to be different. One day, I'd also like to be in touch with Tere about some custom pieces - she's just seriously that damn cool.
