It's been a wonderful couple months since my last check-in here at this somewhat deserted blog...for those of you who keep up with me here, I appreciate you very much and I'm sorry it's been so slow!
I have been very busy with many custom orders for lovely clients as well as growing my
etsy page and
website with more made-to-order and one of a kind pieces. Some of my favorites for the websites are the
Blossom Ring and the
Numerology Ring. Growing up in my Mom's flower shop has almost certainly inspired the flower-themed designs I have in my collection, and a recent custom ring I created for a sweet lady down in Florida enticed me to offer a stacking ring completely customizable for a double-digit number of choice. This ring is catered to those who love
numerology, but it could also be the year of your marriage, graduation, or a lucky number.

Outside of the internet, life in the real world persists, and
Sun Studios (my home gallery) has been a lovely venture and location for my jewelry and creative spirit. I adore being amongst fellow artists and have been utterly inspired, humbled, and gently nudged into new pathways since my move in February. The biggest changes, surely, have been my new work with yellow gold and (!!!) diamonds, faceted stones, and an exploration into the fine jewelry world...

However, there might be a nice compromise in rose-cut gems, like this beautiful pink tourmaline rose cut I set in my 'As One' series bangle bracelets.

I've also taken a small collection of work to
Casa del Soul in
Carmel Valley Village, where the extraordinary Linda Jacobs curates a lovely smattering of beautiful pieces fit for a queen. Linda hosted a successful Trunk Show earlier this year in which I participated, and I was thrilled to be offered the chance to sell my jewelry in her store full time.

Other than that, my friends, my life continues to amaze me, excite me, and challenge me into new thought-paths. I could not be happier and hope that this blog finds you exactly the same.
Much love and many wishes for creativity and inspiration,
Erica
