The Simple Circle

“June” Simple Circle Earring

“June” Simple Circle Earring

The most basic geometric shape is the circle, and I use them regularly in my work. Finding inspiration for designs with circles are everywhere! Just look around and no doubt you will see at least one within your view. 

The possibilities of incorporating a circle in my jewelry are endless, and I know I will never make every design drawn in my sketchbook and swirling around in my mind’s eye!

The “Jane” earrings celebrate this uncomplicated shape in its purist form, making them an essential and elemental part of any wardrobe. You can find several designs incorporating the circle on my website here! I embellish a few with pearls and gold, I leave others unembellished and let them speak for themselves. Maybe there is a pair that speaks to you.

 Enough said, since Leonardo Di Vinci said it best:

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”

Perfect Pearl Earrings

“Jackie” Pearl Earrings

“Jackie” Pearl Earrings

I LOVE these new silver and pearl earrings! They have become, my almost, every day earrings for daytime casual and dressier evening looks.

Pearls, in general, are my go to favorite gem because they are so simple, yet so incredibly versatile. I typically acquire pearls that have character, texture and organic shapes. Because no two pearls are identical, it gives them more interest and personality and they blend much better with my design aesthetic. Not to say that perfectly round pearls are not amazing, because there is no doubt that Mother Nature can wow us with her flawless creations.

These earrings, like many of my designs, begins with a basic idea, then I play with shape and form until I land on my version of perfection. The small but important details, such as the ear wire design, make these a beautiful success.

Embracing the design process, with all its challenges and triumphs, is so rewarding. Although I may not embrace every end result, I ALWAYS learn something new along the way.

You can find these little lovelies, that I named “Jackie”, on my website here

Cheers!

Simplicity is the key to this winning style, if I do say so myself!

Graphic, minimal jewelry is best worn against a simple backdrop. Add too much pattern and the jewelry gets lost. I love this look for a casual daytime outing. Change into cute black heels for a little extra wow!

Enjoy your day!

Jackie Kennedy said it perfectly, “Pearls are always appropriate”, and I completely agree!

I wear pearls with just about everything. A little black dress, jeans and a sweater and yes, with my camo pants, Chuck Taylor high tops and white t-shirt!
