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!

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!

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, and I came across these amazing art prints on Etsy the other day. The colors are wonderful, and I just love the overall mood of the work. The artist's name is Annya Kai, and her shop is www.etsy.com/shop/annya127. Kind of makes me want to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas again for the third time in two weeks...!
