A quote by Jenifer Altman, author of Instant Love.

“Jewelry is personal. Some, such as myself, could argue that it could indeed be the most personal thing you place on your body. It is not simply metal and stone that we adorn ourselves. It is thousands of years of craftsmanship; it is metal from the depths of our Earth and minerals that have endured millions of years of trial by water and fire to become what they are today. The practice of wearing jewelry, originally for protection then for currency and finally for decoration, is as nearly as ancient as humanity itself. And I use the word practice purposefully, for truly wearing jewelry is a practice more so than an act. We imbue our jewels in our own energies, our desires and even our individual histories; each piece becoming a Talisman – charged with our personal magic."

Simple Coachella 2014 Style With A Minimalist Rocker Vibe

Coachella 2014 is fast approaching and I'm starting to plan my outfits! I want to channel music festival in a rocker chic way. Hippie bohemian is not my cup of tea. Floral prints and head bands are too busy for my taste and personally, I feel that style makes me look young. I prefer to stay cool by wearing simple and chic pieces that have an edge. Here are some of my top picks for Coachella 2014 style:

All this outfits would look amazing with any Westland piece, especially the Woven Boomerang Earrings, the Woven Shield Ring (I love wearing 1 on each hand!), the Double Band Apex Ring, and of course stacking up with the Organic Mid-Finger Ring. So excited for the line up this year! See you in the desert...

Outfit Inspiration

Ohhh the amazingness of this simple outfit. The perforated top gives texture and depth to the monochrome pairing and the black boots add the perfect contrast.

December Happenings

I cannot believe December is almost over! The holidays came and went, but now it's back to the grind. I'm so excited to be working on some new and exciting pieces for the New Year! Take a sneak peek at some bronze and silver pendants, rings, cuffs, and studs that I picked up from the caster last week. I love how they turned out, especially the finish on the bronze. I'll post the finished pieces asap, sorry for the tease ;)
