- New for the Holidays -
As we're heading into the final days of fall, the new designs feature some of the warmer colors of the season as well as birthstones for the upcoming month of December. You'll find pieces with oranges and browns interspersed throughout the collection. Some of these warm tones can be seen in December's birthstone of Turquoise. Other stones include Labradorite, Ocean Jasper, Orange Kyanite, and Smoky Quartz.

Headed into the holidays, I wanted this collection to include a variety of gift options. You'll find a mix of larger statement pieces as well as simpler jewelry gifts. Some of the designs have a modern flair, while others have a classic appeal. The new pieces include a mix of prices and styles that can be unique gifts for loved ones or even be a special treat for yourself.

New pieces will be available in the shop starting November 18th.
