New Jewels!

This necklace is almost like a lei when it adorns your neck! I designed this necklace using a large link sterling chain with clustered gemstones and pearls attached so it can be worn as a 4-strand bracelet, a choker, or a long necklace- it's quite versatile! Smoky quartz, amazonite, moonstone, prasiolite (green amethyst), freshwater pearl, lemon quartz, citrine, labradorite, rutilated quartz, chalcedony, phrenite, coral & sweet little glass bezel-framed window links come together delightfully to form this one-of-a-kind statement piece. Enjoy!

Fully adjustable from 15 1/4" to 23"

Exchangeables!

These cute Exchangeables have done well at the Saturday Market, so I thought I would add them to my store. Start with this 16" or 18" sterling chain, and add the charms you like! Wear a different one each day or combine them all for a funky fresh look. Have fun with these! Click Here to buy: Exchangeables

New Stuff and Unemployment

Unemployed. Who would think that one word can encapsulate (is that a word?!) so much! The mind conjures up things like hoards of people waiting in food lines, feelings of worthlessness, sleeping in (Yay!) taking to the streets with pitchforks and homemade WMD's to protest our government's misappropriation of taxpayer $$, thankfully none of which I've done yet. (and I stress YET) Ok, well I have slept in (Hehe) and loved it, but so far I'm ok with not doing the daily grind; I'm even excited about how much time I can devote to my little business. Hopefully my musings here will gain a following and lead to some new opportunities & sales! I've also been making tons of new jewelry, delving into new territories with vintage pieces likt these:
And using leather from my good friend Tracie, like these:
 
And of course, my original gem-encrusted style:
 In light of all this new stuff, I've decided to open a new Etsy store with the correct name of my business, Esther Lee Jewelry, and will use the old one for destashing and selling my beads here. Ok, off to work!
