A Sneak Peek! Introducing Ear Charms!

Here's a sneak peek at our new line of earrings, due out later this spring!


Ear Charms are for those of us with sensitive ears (like Lori!) who can't wear anything but sterling silver or gold. Now instead of being restricted to just a few (EXPENSIVE!!) earrings, we can have the same fun earrings as others with less sensitive ears! All you need is one good pair of continuous hoops or studs and you can use our charms to change your earrings as often as you want!


Here's how they work! (It's simple, we promise!)







Here's a look at the interchangable ear charms we have right now :) Have a suggestion or something you want to see? Let us know!

Charming your cell phone....

Many people, when they see Sara's cell phone charms, ask, "Now how do I attach that?" This post is here to help!!

First off, take a look at your phone:
Somewhere on your phone, there's probably a place that looks like this:


See the little hole that goes through the top and back of the phone? That's where the charm will go! Begin by feeding one end of your charm through the hole, like so:



Then pull the loop on through:


Put the charm through the loop you've created on the other side of the hole:


Pull the charm until the loop is snug against the phone, and poof:


You have a charming cell phone that is uniquely yours!

Ready for one of your own?

Check out the "Cell Charms" album on our Facebook page.

Then let us know which one you'd like (or what design you'd like Sara to create just for you!) and we'll list it on our Etsy store for you to make your own!

Custom Charms for Ruth!


Ruth ordered 2 custom charm bracelets from Lori. Each one is for a very special person who has been through some extraordinary circumstances.

The first bracelet is for a woman who has been through a heart attack. After her heart attack, she adopted the motto "TRUST." Her custom bracelet was to incorporate this motto, hearts, and red, the color for heart disease awareness.


Here are the letter charms that will spell out "TRUST" on the charm bracelet:



The charms were paired with red swarovski crystals, clear Celestial Crystals, and silver hearts with crystal accents. Here is the layout of the bracelet:



Here is the bracelet with the charms attached:



Here is the finished bracelet after the crystal accents have been added:



Here is a detail shot, showing the crystals and the heart charms:




The second bracelet was designed for a woman who is dealing with breast cancer. Her bracelet is meant to inspire HOPE. Here are the letter charms:



Here is the breast cancer charm, which also says "HOPE" on the ribbon:



Here are the charms paired with the pink and clear crystals:



Here's the bracelet layout before construction:



Finished product, sure to remind a brave woman to hold on to HOPE in the rough spells:
