Indie Find--Fresh Metal

Fresh Metal is a great name for this Etsy shop! Beautiful handmade jewelry with a very fun, fresh feel. Lush colors, beautiful Earthy and water-y stones, playful use of silver and copper, the whole shop is a feast for the eyes. Designed by Jill, a fellow Michigander and working mom of a little boy and 3 playful kitty cats! She made some lovely custom earrings for me a few weeks ago that turned out even prettier than I had imagined, and I highly recommend her work.

BelaDonna Jewels

I am so excited to report that I won this ~lovely~ "Key to My Heart" necklace from BelaDonna Jewels! The pale pink heart stone is so pretty and delicate next to the bright silver key. The vintage look is girlie, yet the right amount of fun and funky at the same time. As soon as I opened the package, I put the necklace on immediately. It just so happens that it looks great with my outfit today, and in fact goes perfectly with my daily style! This lovely necklace was made my designer Anabela, a truly multi-talented lady. She is a graphic designer as well as artist in many mediums. Adorable wooden Japanese Kokeshi dolls, polymer clay sushi rolls, origami, to name a few, and of course jewelry. Anabela makes her jewelry using stones, semi-precious stones, glass, swarovski crystals, pearls, vintage finds, lucite and more, bringing a very elegant touch to her designs.

PinkFink's Creations

I love funky cute jewelry, and these earrings I just received from PinkFink's Creations are exactly that! They are so light, I can barely tell I have them on. They are handmade with polymer clay and coated with a protective finish that gives them a nice polished look. The detail work is amazing! Perfect on-the-go earrings to match my particularly groovy outfit today. I'm in a gray, yellow and black argyle sweater and I'm feeling like a pretty hip chick. Too bad the only person that will see me today is the post office lady! :) She has lots of other fabulous creatures...some jewelry, some little sculptures, all adorable. So check out all the other one-of-a-kind pieces at PinkFink's etsy shop: http://pinkfink.etsy.com

ModRocks

ModRocks is such a great name! It's an Etsy store with beautiful Earth inspired jewelry. Earthy colors and shapes makes this a very welcoming store. Cute owl earrings, a chic leaf necklace, a bracelet inspired by the vibrant colors of the Caribbean, and these fantastic Spicy boho brass drop earrings pictured here that I received for Christmas! I ~love~ these earrings! They make me feel saucy! They look perfect with jeans and a sweater, instantly spicing up the outfit. With a dressier ensemble, they add just the right touch of sexy elegance. I have my sweet sister-in-law to thank for these earrings, and I'm enjoying checking out the other fun jewelry in this shop.
