Introducing the Touchstone Collection!

Inspirational, modern, and minimalist, I'm so pleased to introduce the Touchstone Collection, my newest pieces at Wild Woman Jewelry. Each necklace, bracelet and ring in this unique collection is made with the intention to offer simplicity and words which remind you of your beautiful self - a touchstone during the day, a mantra while meditating, or maybe an inspiration for someone you love. Each is personalized at the clasp closure with your monogram of choice - a simple uppercase initial-stamped, oxidized, sterling silver charm.

 

 Mounted on cardstock complete with inspirational message and nestled in its beautiful tin, your lovely piece will arrive ready for gifting as shown in the photographs.

 

I'm listing many more new pieces in this collection over the next few days -

come see!

Let's get Personal!

2012 Star Ornament
 

Over the last several months a number of customers have made inquiries about personalizing some of the pieces in my shop -- most frequently, wondering about adding the date or an initial or a special word to my beaded holiday ornaments.  I had been thinking of offering some custom add ons and ways to personalize gift giving for the coming holiday season and so I got to work! Handstamping metal bits are a wonderful opportunity to create that meaningful touch and I've had fun experimenting.  My first offering is a custom date or intial stamp for the ornaments (or any other item from my shop!).  Of course you know, once I get started, the options are endless -- here's what is available so far!

Crafted from heavy gauge sterling wire (and now available in the shop), these pretty rustic circles have been soldered, shaped and hammered then oxidized and tumble polished-- earwires are handformed from sterling square wire and are securely wrapped and filed for comfort.

A Summer Wedding

SIX bridesmaids...

*****

A few weeks ago, I received a note from the sweetest bride asking if I would design and create the wedding jewelry for her beautiful bridesmaids. She sent me photos of her sister and closest friends, with arms linked and laughing, clearly a gaggle of gorgeous girls!

It's been my pleasure to create pieces for weddings in the past, but this was the largest wedding party I've worked with~ each piece had to be similar yet suited to each bridesmaid~ an honor and a challenge to be sure. It had to be right!

After lots of notes and photos back and forth, consideration of her wedding style, colors and theme, descriptions of the bridesmaids' personalities and taste (the bride hoped they would be able to wear them after the wedding as well), we arrived at six variations of a similar design.

I mixed metals, finishes, earring length and detail to appeal to each girl and then created the bracelets with dangles that matched each pair of earrings.

I had such fun packaging everything for each bridesmaid~ and I received word this morning they have all arrived safely in plenty of time for the big day! The bride has been an absolute pleasure to work with~ I hope her wedding is everything she wishes it to be!

At the moment, I can't believe I didn't photograph all the finished pieces together but here is a sampling of the designs...I had alot of fun too!
