DESIGNER: Ten Thousand Things
The Shake Necklace
- Some might recognize these pieces from The Holiday - when Cameron Diaz wore a gold and white diamond necklace
- This showcase of loose stones gives a unique 360 degree view on these sparkling gems.
- They're beautiful, but outrageously expensive.

- Good design coupled with the beautiful words is a lovely combination

DESIGNER: Me&Ro
- I love Me&Ro jewelry... It's a pit pricy for it's simplicity and size... but totally worth it
- They also combine interesting religious symbols and script from Hindu and Buddhist religion
What I've Made
- I am an amateur/aspiring jewelry designer. I have many idea, but only had the opportunity to execute a few in a class I took at Craft Alliance - a jewelry specialty store & school in St. Louis MO. I was taking classes in my free time while attending SamFox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis for my BFA.
Designed and Constructed by Susan Land
2 Silver discs with emerald cut citrine stone held together by 14k gold tubing
Brushed copper teardrops on silver wire
Silver - cuddlefish casting
DESIGNER: Jane Diaz
- Jane creates eclectic small-medium pieces often using simple shapes and organic stones... You can also see design elements from her manufacturing in Nepal
- I have owned a few of things and love them.
DESIGNER: Pomellato
- Pomellato creates unique classics... using unexpected combinations such as pink gold and brown diamonds.

All-Time Favorites Pieces
Pink quartz and brown diamond in pink gold
(my older sister's graduation ring)
Must have a silver pair and gold pair
Small enough to match anything - & add a tiny flare to any outfit
Also comes in a 12mm... but these gumball beauties feel light as a feather and ad a stunning elegance to anything you pair with it
a sprinkle of gold goes with everything
Favorite Shapes
- Teardrop: Good for earings and necklaces - not rings
- Circles: Good for everything
- Pillow: a square with good chi ;)
Big Rings
- In my opinion... Big rings are AMAZING... however you should only wear ONE at a time. They are a centerpiece... don't over do it - the bigger the ring is the fewer pieces you should have on your wrist and fingers
(my college graduation ring)
