What is it about birds?? 🕊️✨

Like why are we all so drawn to them? Maybe it’s because they can just flit away at any moment or because they’re colorful and tiny and somehow always look magical floating around in the clouds 😭

These new bird charms and beads seriously feel so special. The enamel colors are SO crisp in person and every piece is plated in genuine 24K gold or antique silver 💚

They also have a really nice weight to them and instantly become the focal point of a design while still looking so good mixed with gemstones and Czech glass ✨

It’s Thursday which means… new gemstones are dropping ✨

28 new gemstone strands are being loaded into the shop… you already know I’m excited 😊

Amethyst, Brazil Amazonite, Green & Red Strawberry Quartz, and SO much more. These are some bigger faceted stones (think 9x14mm & 13x16mm) and they absolutely make a statement in any design. These stones demand attention 😭✨

And pleaseeee do not skip past the Rainbow Fluorite strand because my mind was genuinely blown when I saw that one 🌈✨

Birds of a feather find their perfect home in this sweet little bracelet stack 🐦🌼✨

Surrounded by sunny yellow porcelain sunflowers and bright enamel daisies, these tiny birds rest in a miniature wearable garden full of cheerful summer charm 💛

The kind of stack that feels like sunshine in jewelry form ☀️

New goodies are starting to load into the shop and I’m honestly so excited about this collection ✨

I found some beautiful Nepalese pendants and beads with the richest jewel-tone color combinations. They have such a timeless feel and the craftsmanship on these is incredible. Every piece has its own little personality and unique details that make them so fun to create with.

I also added all 12 birth month flowers in a two-tone finish with gunmetal and gold plating and they turned out SO pretty. 🌸 I love the idea of wearing your own flower along with someone you love.

And the Amber… you know I can never leave Amber behind when I find it 😂 There are 12 strands in all kinds of warm colors, shapes, and tones. Some are soft and glowy, some are deep and rich, and every single strand feels special.

This launch has so many fun pieces to mix, layer, and create with. I really think there’s something here for everyone 💚

Beautiful butterflies are always a good idea 🦋💚
The Flutter By Bracelet is like a little kaleidoscope for your wrist — swirling colors, fluttery movement, and so much happy energy. Just add a few jump rings and a clasp and viola! Easy peasy ✨

This is one of those projects that looks super detailed but comes together so simply, and the colors are just chef’s kiss. Perfect for adding a fun little pop of style to your stack!

It’s Thursday, which means I have new Czech glass to share ✨🌊💚

This collection is full of the prettiest ocean blues, shimmering finishes, and shapes that catch the light so beautifully. There are 15 strands total, with lots of blue + gold moments (if you know, you know 😉).

Czech glass has always been such a passion of mine. I never get tired of the endless color combinations, unique shapes, and artistry behind every strand. Even more special is the history — generations of families in the Czech Republic have spent their lives preserving these beautiful glassmaking traditions, and you can truly feel that craftsmanship in every piece. ✨💙

It’s Thursday which means I have some new goodies to share ✨💚

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had Noah Kahan on repeat since the new album dropped… so naturally I had to show off these “The Last of the Bugs” earrings 🐞 Come onnnn. The ladybugs are too cute.

And the butterflies?? Easily one of the prettiest kinds of bugs if you ask me 🦋 We just added beads, links, and charms so you can make the sweetest little spring set.

Everything is plated in genuine 24K gold or antique silver with such a nice substantial feel in your hands. The enamel colors are bright and playful, while the metal finishes keep everything feeling polished and elevated ✨

Basically… these are the kind of pieces that make you immediately want to start a new project.

Fun, floral, and full of life 🌼💚

The Trail of Blooms Necklace is bringing all the spring energy with intricate seed bead flowers, pops of Millefiori, mixed gemstones, and just the right touch of sparkle.

She’s a little bit playful, a little bit extra, and yes… she’s got everything plus the kitchen sink ✨

The best part? This beauty is perfect for using up those extra beads and turning them into something totally one-of-a-kind.

Spring layers, bright colors, and joyful details—this one just makes you smile 💚

It’s Thursday… you know what that means ✨

New goodies just hit the shop and this drop is so fun. We’ve got chains, charms, and ceramics—aka everything you need to spark a little creativity.

First up: 20+ dainty chain styles in antique silver, Hamilton gold, and satin Hamilton gold. These are the same favorites you’ve loved in finished pieces—now available in 5 ft lengths and 50 meter spools. Perfect for layering, bracelets, or your next everyday go-to.

Next… the cutest enamel charms. 💕 Think butterflies, rainbow hearts, colorful headphones, and even a spicy little chili pepper 🌶️ These are made for charm bars and all your spring/summer designs.

And finally, Mykonos ceramic spacer beads with large holes—bright, bold, and perfect for leather cord (which I am always reaching for in the summer). Such an easy way to add a pop of color and texture.

Which one are you grabbing first? 👀💚

We just added some new Nunn Design pieces to the shop and I’m so excited about these 😍

If you haven’t used Nunn Design before, it’s one of those brands where you can instantly tell the quality. Everything is cast in lead-free pewter and finished in rich antique gold, silver, and copper tones that actually have depth—not too shiny, not flat… just really, really good.

I’m especially obsessed with the Luna moth coin charms (so dreamy), the mini mushroom (tiny + whimsical in the best way), and the organic lotus round—such a perfect focal piece.

They’ve all got that nice, slightly weighty feel and the detailing is seriously next level. These are the pieces that make your designs feel extra special—whether it’s an everyday favorite or something more keepsake-style ✨
