under the sea

I wanted to name this bracelet the drop off but felt that didn't sound too gem seductive and I shouldn't obliquely refer to Finding Nemo, even if it is a wonderful movie that I've seen far too many times (I'm very well versed in the movies of Pixar). This bracelet looks like a treasure from the sea. A strand of apatite chips resemble the clear aqua of tropical island waters. Flourite beads cast a spectrum of purples. Lepidolite ovals add soothing lavender with irridescent labradorite rounding out the mix. Consider it spring break on your wrist, without the regret of having too much to drink. Sterling silver clasp, 8" in length. $41

whatever lola wants

Lola gets, although, in this case, her name is not Lola but the bean. The bean is a killer combination of charisma (honestly, many of the boys in first grade loved her) and steely willfulness, God help whoever marries her. The bean saw this on my work table and immediately picked it up, 'Ooooh, I want this one mommy, it's like a princess necklace so fancy and my favorites are those big sparkly beads.' From a six year old who plans to be a princess or a Christmas elf when she grows up, this was high praise. A very long 36-1/2 inches chock full of gemstones, labradorite, freshwater pearls of various hues, rose quartz and crystals. You can wear Lola looong or wrap it around twice for a different take on princessy. Sterling silver clasp. $67
