Fall is in the air (at least here in Colorado it is). The sun is slowly softening and we have been waking up to a little nip in the air. The leaves will begin to turn and a full fledged fall will be here before we know it! Here are a couple of fabulous fall colors that are sure to be very popular this year.

Oak Buff is a classically warm neutral tone that is mellow and compliments many traditional fall tones. It is likened to the soft sun as it shines after stormy weather to bring us cheer and a glimmer of hope. Another one of nature’s illustrious shades, the golden yellow Oak Buff acts to nurture and comfort.

The gorgeous complex blend of Marsala incorporates the warmth and richness of a red wine with hints of brownish tones, which adds a graceful finesse to your fall color palette.

Marsala exudes sophistication paired with a natural earthiness, which is a perfectly delectable fall staple.

Effortless Chic ~ Dainty Layered Necklace Trend Inspiration

Spring

(Spring Photo Compliments of You Tube Spring Relaxation Music)

How exciting  ~ the first signs of Spring have finally sprung here in Colorado! Tiny little apple and cherry buds have just started to emerge and begun basking in the soft spring sunshine. I recently indulged in the most wonderful weekend of making jewelry outside and soaking up the sunshine on my pale face….. it was pure heaven!

The renewal of natures’ beauty renovates my creativity and I crave to make new sparkling beauties for the warmer days to come. To help renew your creativity, I’m exploring beautiful ways to wear the very popular jewelry trend for 2015 ~ The Dainty Layered Necklace Look!

 Effortless chic ~Dainty layers of different necklaces with soft feminine sparkling touches are a very popular jewelry trend for 2015. This gracefully sweet style is created by layering simple chains with small crystal pendants or beads in a gentle and elegant way.

These sparkling layered necklaces feature the Swarovski 3255 Baguette Sew-On Stones in different colors and are a brilliant way to ware this stylish trend.

Having fun and getting creative with this trend is what being artistic is all about! I love the idea of mixing all kinds of various elements together. The combination of different sizes with atypical shapes of pearls, crystals and chains, catch the eye in all kinds of ways. The unique off-center style of the Galactic Crystals dance about and draw you in, while the tiny 5040 Rondelles softly accentuate the natural pearls that hang with a graceful fluidity.

This light and airy layered necklace is subtly sweet with tiny tiers of Bicone Crystals and Cream Pearls. It’s a lovely bridal accessory for a simple yet stylish look.

Stories of Significance ~ Jewelry Made with a Purpose, Helping to Change Lives

Swarovski_Crystal_Jewelry

It warms my heart to know there are good people out there doing good things, day in and day out!

People who dedicate their time, effort or income hoping to make this world a better place, are truly special individuals.

Making jewelry and donating portions of the profit to help others in need is a beautiful way to help support your passion. Everyone wins when you create with love and intention.

You’re naturally uplifted when you’re in a creative space and the enjoyment that you feel when creating a lasting piece of sparkling jewelry that is not only pretty, but will have a direct impact on people or animals’ lives, is absolutely priceless! The person who supports your work is also thrilled to be helping and to have a gorgeous physical reminder of their impact, makes that piece deeply cherished.

Sheri from His Jewels Creations is making jewelry with a purpose.

“My heartbeat/goal is to help rescue women from slavery and teach them this trade. I would like to pursue a non profit status and use this to help others” ~ Sheri

Ebay has filmed her “story with impact” providing an inside look into the significance of her jewelry and how she helps people along the way.

Her thoughtful email to me included a sweet note saying “I wanted to share this with you since you have been a part of this journey by always providing me with sparkle.”

Another wonderful customer who is helping to make a difference is Adriana from Little Words Project.

Made out of Swarovski crystal interwoven with a unique, inspirational word, each bracelet has the power to unite girls of all ages. Our customer wears her Little Word for as long as the word continues to resonate with her – then, she passes the bracelet on to someone who may need that bit of inspiration more than she does.
