Sneak Peek: Gold Rings

So super excited to be premiering rose gold filled and gold filled rings this holiday season. The My Heart Ring and Heart on Top ring are now golden, and I'm also producing thin gold bands. I love gold and am really happy to share the updated design.

Happy Monday!!

DIY Gold Leaf Workshop

Together with Arts Restore LA, Unique LA held an awesome DIY Gold Leaf Workshop at the Hammer Museum. Taught by Vanessa Hernandez of The Vaguely, this workshop was a fun way to learn to and play with gold leaf.

We were given some adhesive, a sheet of gold leaf, some masking tape, and a triangle dish. Then we were free to play!

I liked the geometric lines of the triangle dish, so I worked off that with lots of lines and some asymmetry. I also tried to make the letter "H". It was fun and messy and a lesson in patience, and definitely golden!

The final pieces! It definitely take a lot of practice, but I'm encouraged to keep working with gold leaf. 

Stay Gold

New Packaging: Gold Boxes, Pink, Green

A New Year means new packaging. I'm such a sucker for pretty boxes, bows, flourishes, hearts, embellishments, etc. and try mightily to add a nice pop to my packages that go out. For this year, I feel like gold is a necessity.

These boxes are accented with our logo sticker and simple bow. Inside you can find a logo card and lovely piece of jewelry. It's simple yet bright. Definitely something I want for this year.

A little sneak peek on a new necklace design, which is an update on a classic hmh necklace.

  

Lastly, my favorite colors for 2013! What are yours?

Feelin' Golden and Colorful

Anchored at the center with slightly curved gold fill tubes, these necklaces ascend symmetrically with layers gold fill, pyrite, gold fill beads, and seed beads. Inspired by California, the Golden State, I wanted to keep things golden and bright while the variations of sizes and textures adds interest to just above your collar bone. Still in a summer state of mind (it's been wonderfully warm in Southern CA) the colors reflect cool ocean blues on a sunny day and sunset pinks with a deep palm tree green.

 

To complement the necklaces are similarly sweet bracelets. A less intricate take on my I Heart Friendship bracelets, these add a dainty kick to your arm candy and are so fun to wear layered.

Hearts sit at the end of each string of beads because it's always nice to end with some love.

Happy Thursday friends!
