Featured Work :: Looks for Life Fundraiser

Happy Wednesday, friends! Today I’m sharing a one-of-a-kind set that I recently created for a fundraiser benefitting a cause that is very close to my heart.LooksForLifeCollage

I designed this custom necklace & earrings set featuring blue enamel and golden curb chain with golden spike pendants for the Looks for Life Fundraiser. Looks for Life is an event at a local salon (Looks Salon of Columbia, MD) that benefits the Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center, which provides suicide prevention programs. After losing a childhood friend to suicide earlier this year, this issue is one that hits especially close to home for me. I wanted to contribute any way that I could.

It was a joy to be able to use my talent as a jewelry designer to make even a small contribution to such an important cause. I made a decorative gift basket for the jewelry set that I created so that the pieces could be included in the silent auction portion of the fundraiser. Looks is also hosting a raffle, live music, and offering discounted salon services on Sunday, September 8th, which is when the auction closes. If you live in the Columbia area, be sure to check it out! More information is available here.

PS – When you’re done checking out the fundraiser at Looks on Sunday, come visit me at the Catonsville Arts & Crafts Festival! 😉

The theme of the day was preppy style in hues of navy, bright yellow, and grey. Models Tess and Amy were styled and accessorized in outfits according to this look. I love the way the Amelie Necklace looks with the open neckline on Amy’s white button down blouse. Here’s a closer look:

Black and white photos are the best as far as I’m concerned. 🙂

This bracelet is a navy blue version of the Jordyn Bracelet that I made specifically for this shoot. What do you guys think, should I make it available in the shop?

This picture might be my favorite of the whole bunch. The way the pearls of the necklace and bracelet frame the mason jar of lemonade is perfect!
