Great advice for brides, MOB, MOG, and bridesmaids. Check it out!
Here are the gorgeous women from The Left Bank, in Chicago, that run this blog.

I love Molly Mol!



My wonderful friend Molly (she is an amazing textile designer) dropped in at a recent trunk show. What a great surprise! Love you Mols!
...(if you love my hat, like I do, it is the Holly hat in purple with black veiling)

Another great weekend at Marah's Elegant Bridal



I always say that you can tell how great a boutique and the owner is by how great the brides are! And....ALL of the brides at Marah's Elegant Bridal are so lovely, fun, and beautiful! So, it is always a great time, working with these fantastic women! Here are two of the gorgeous brides-to-be. One bride is wearing the Nicolletta choker and Drew hair jewelry (I am wearing a custom colored Polly necklace/hair jewelry and Maxine post earrings). She was a blast to work with...so willing to try on ANYTHING! The next group of women where an entire wedding party: Bride, MOB and BM. What a fun time! The amazingly beautiful bride-to-be (Heather) is wearing the glamorous Mae earrings with her Martina Liana gown. Heather's wedding is Thanksgiving weekend! Best wishes Heather and Nick!

Game Time...we need your feedback!!!!





I loved working with this bride and her mom...she was the last bride of the evening, so we spent a lot of time playing dress up. She is making her choice between these four looks. Please let us know what you like best! Look number one is the Penelope necklace and earrings. Look number two is the Prince three stranded necklace and Elliot pearl earrings. Number three look is the Taylor pearl necklace and Elliot pearl earrings. Last look is the April earrings, April necklace, and Saida bracelet. What is your favorite look?!
All of this fun took place at Cocoa Couture. www.cocoacoutureonline.com

Feeling Fabulous!



I love this picture, because I met this bride the last time I was at Fabulous Bridal for a trunk show. She is so beautiful and sweet! I was so excited that she came back to choose her wedding jewelry. The tall glass of water next to us is the namesake of the fantastic Michaela jewelry!
Next is a self picture of my wonderful friend Nzinga...yes, she is who the Nzinga jewelry is named after. Check out Fabulous Bridals website... www.fabulous-bridal.com

Just Recently Dropped into the Shop...

After yet another request to recreate my golden berries earrings in sterling, I decided to do what I should have long ago and added them as an item to my shop--in the original 1 1/2 inch diameter and the more demure 1 inch diameter version.



Something new for me--I am beginning (slowly but surely) with just a small amount of cursing and and frustration, to add bezel set stones to my work. For some time I've dreamt of perching my wire wrapped flowers atop vines and leaves formed from sterling and flame and this is the first I'll be offering for sale.



Next is a long, narrow stick all wrapped and encrusted with gemstone flowers and petals. Rich shades of blue, aqua and green make these sing!




And now we arrive at my favorite--just look at those labs! Beautiful smooth, polished petals of labradorite wrapped in my signature style flower and fastened securely to my random coiled band. I love it!!!
