Quote of the Month

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain

Behind the Scenes: Mayan Reef Necklace

Ahh, once again I am constantly daydreaming about Mexico. Perhaps it's the gloomy January days that have me thinking more and more about escaping to a tropical locale. Whatever the cause, I am quite happy because it has inspired my latest piece! I was looking at these photos from the last time my husband and I went to Mexico:

Upon looking at these photos and numerous books about Mexico, I began sketching ideas. These ideas have translated into one of my favorite pieces that I have ever made. Here is a look at the making of the Mayan Reef Necklace:

The final product:

The Mayan Reef Necklace is coming soon to LUCIUS Jewelry, and will also be available in a variety of gemstones. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am in love with these dresses from CLF by Claire La Faye. Aren't they gorgeous? Now I just need a fancy event to attend so I have an excuse to get one for myself!

Photo Shoot

I recently did a LUCIUS Jewelry photo shoot with some friends of mine, and I could not be happier with the results! Everyone did a wonderful job, and the jewelry just looks great. I look forward to doing another shoot outdoors when it gets warmer out!
