Jewelry for the September Shows in Minnesota

Anybody wondering where I've been?  Busy, busy, busy.  I'm preparing for two very large events coming up soon, a very large wedding, coming up soon, and have been remodeling portions of our home, including a new studio/office for my business.  (more on that at a later posting).

I hope some of you are planning to attend my upcoming two shows I will be a vendor at.  They are both in September, back to back.  I am frantically working to have enough items to keep everyone happy with, and will continue to do so until the moment the shows begin.  I like to keep my customers happy!

Necklace 1 is oh, so cool when worn.  Definitely a statement piece and can easily be layered.  It's creation of the focal was a multi part process with several techniques being used in its design.  I love the gorgeous hand carved wooden pieces that one of my favorite pickers unearthed for me.  The gorgeous focal surround was purchased several years ago and has wonderful patina to it.  The tassel on this piece is stunning and was a found element just last week in a new treasure trove location that I was referred to.  Love these unique elements that truly make the pieces come together.  Overall this piece was culled from 5 separate resources.

Necklace 2 - I am struggling to sell.  Yes, it is one I'd love to keep, but need to sell whatever I can get made up between now and the events.  This fabulous chunky stain piece is so elegant, but yet also perfect with an open shirt and jeans styling as well.  Love the mother of pearl treasures I've included in this piece.  This one just speaks to me.  One of my more upscale pieces, she is a real keeper.  The St. Chirstopher Protection Medal is unique and mimics with its circle of pearls the circle of pearls on the toggle closure of the chain.  One lucky lady will get to buy this piece.  p.s.  Maybe, she'll let me borrow it?  :)

Necklace 3 is a signature design with a bling design on its reverse.  I am well known for using vintage enameled pocket watch faces and than the addition of the flying sparrow on them.  It is recognized as a Mimi-Toria's Design when worn.  This one, however, has the addition of the reverse side with lots of bling and a fun totally different look to it.  Love it when I can create pieces that give my customers Bang for their Bucks with it being worn multiple ways, and/or layered.
