Magazine Feature

What a wonderful week! I've been creating so much lately, and I've had absolutely no time to photograph anything yet, but I have very exciting news: yesterday I was the featured jewelry designer in a magazine photo shoot! Rather, my jewelry was. The magazine wont come out until April, so I don't want to jinx anything by saying too much - other than how thrilled I am!! The shoot was a lot of fun - basically, I just brought everything I had in stock, and the stylist chose the pieces that looked best on the model. There will be 4 pieces featured - 2 rings and 2 necklaces. As a sneak peak, here's one of the necklaces.


It's the Lisette Pendant Necklace, and the model wore it as a choker - looked terrific!! This photo was taken by me, and it really makes me appreciate professional photographers - I can't wait to see how much better it looks in April!

***** UPDATE *****

The magazine was Key Biscayne Magazine, a gorgeous, glossy local publication, and the feature came off very nicely.

A Wee Bit Skint

I love it when a new review comes in! Even moreso when the reviewer chooses creations no one else has reviewed yet. To that end, here is a brand new review from a blog called a wee bit skint.

Sweet Like Brown Sugar

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you're having a gorgeous weekend full of creativity, time with family and friends, and joy in the small things. Before I head over to the Sonesta for a little of all that, I wanted to share with you another nice review that came in the other night. This one's real short 'n sweet, and it comes from a hot new blog called SavvyChick.




It's Sweet Like Brown Sugar
Isn’t it beautiful. It’s elegant but not overwhelming. The tagline from her website is “Relaxed Elegance” and I think that sums up this piece.
“...this necklace features Cultured Pearls in Chocolate and Champagne as well as Golden CZs, and can be worn beautifully from choker length to extra long. Available in 14k gold fill exclusively. This necklace layers very well with both the Champagne and Chocolate necklace and the Brown Sugar Charm Necklace.”
Now, as you know I’m a huge fan of pink… and well, this isn’t pink - but you know the browns, creams and earth tones are hot for spring - so I have to conform. *smile* Plus this piece is just beau-ti-ful.

Thanks, SavvyChick! Here's a pic of the necklace and charm necklace combined...


I love how they look layered like that. To see the whole set, including earrings, bracelet and ring, click here.

Hair Jewelry Review

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for coming on by to check out the blog. And apologies for the delay between posts. It's been a very, very busy past couple of weeks, and it doesn't look like it's gonna slow down any time soon - which is great! Among other things, the rings have been flying, and the baby bracelets have been getting really popular lately. Thanks to a new review from Sharp Lily, it's likely the cultured pearl and 14k gold hair jewelry for kids and adults is soon to follow.

These adornments are a terrific elegant accessories for special occasions like weddings and proms, or as SharpLily plans to wear it, just around the office!

Carolyn Koslen Pearl Barrette $30
I have a reputation around my office - my co-workers tease me for frequently accessorizing with pearls. But I'm proud to sport them. (As reputations go, it could be worse.) They make me feel like Audrey even when I'm dressed like Mary-Kate. This elegant, handmade barrette will be a fabulous addition to my collection. It's delicate and decadent, and will be sure to induce whispers around the watercooler.

OK, how wonderful does it make me feel to know I've made a woman feel like Audrey Hepburn?!! Thanks, SharpLily.
