Something New, Something Blue 💙 This necklace from my collection reminds me of the prettiest icicles - minus the freezing temperatures! 🌬️ I received this photo from @ineszrinski earlier this week from a seaside editorial that featured my #bridaljewelry. I can only share a few sneak peeks for now, and this one is my favorite!
Let It Snow ❄️ ...But only if the snowflakes are as gorgeous as this beauty! I've been anxiously waiting for this pendant to arrive from overseas for a custom necklace commission I'm creating for a new client. It's finally here and it's even prettier than the picture! ..Now please excuse me while I go finish the piece and deliver it to the lucky recipient. She is going to flip! 💎✨
Beautiful details 💕 If you're a #bridetobe who got engaged over the holidays, congratulations! 🎉 You're probably knocking the date-sensitive tasks off your list first (venue, photographer, caterer, etc.) and having a blast shopping for your dream wedding gown with your #squad. Next come the finer details, which is where I will step in to make your life easier! 💎 Whether you need a custom hairpiece, the perfect sparkly earrings, or something beautiful to gift your bridesmaids, I will take care of everything. I'll even deliver it in a pretty gift box tied up with a bow! 🎀 So sip some champagne, have fun planning your big day, and drop me a line to get started. This just might be the easiest part of planning your wedding! (📸: @jennashriver // Styling: @celebratinglovebymarcie)
✨NOW ✨ Just when I'd given up trying to think of a clever idea to be my "word of the year" (all the cool kids are doing it!) inspiration struck in the form of a Paramore song. I had to contain my excited dancing because I'm sitting in the corner of a quiet coffee shop, but I knew right away that this was my power word. For a chronic procrastinator and recovering Anxiety Girl like me, NOW is a challenge to be bold: to act NOW, to dream bigger NOW, to build the life I want NOW, to stand up for what I believe in NOW. 2017 is going to be my year, and I'm starting NOW! 💪
In with the new! ✨ It's back to work for this #customjeweler today after a nice long break. 2017 is going to be awesome, I can already feel it! Who's with me!? While I was away, these two lovebirds tied the knot in a styled elopement that I was honored to contribute to. Jami is an absolute stunner in my Double Teardrop Bridal Earrings and her beautiful gown from @gamberdellabridal! 💕 I can't wait to share more photos on the #jadorndesigns blog...In the meantime join me in raising a glass to these two newlyweds! 🥂 (Photo by @1783photography // Fellow contributors tagged) #theenchantingelopement
Can you say 'perfection'? 😍 The latest issue of @washbridegroom is out and inside is this perfectly styled bridal fashion spread, featuring my Elle pearl teardrop earrings! The simple, dainty design of the crystal and pearl earrings make the perfect accessory to this elaborately patterned wedding gown. The look is stylish but not overdone - perfect for a #DCwedding! ❤️
Merry & Bright ♥️✨ I'm still working on a few last-minute holiday orders in the #jewelrystudio, but I'll also be taking time today to celebrate Christmas with my husband's family. Sending love, hugs, and the warmest holiday wishes to each of you! Happy Holidays! (📸: @madisonrshort)
🎶 She's wrapping a stone; checking it twice 😉Santa's elves (aka my two hands) are hard at work making the prettiest holiday gifts this week! If you're still in need of the perfect gift, check out my secret Facebook shopping group to see some #stockingstuffer jewelry items that are available to ship right away. Just follow the link in my profile! I've got you covered.
While I've been soaking up the sun in Jamaica this week, my new friend and #jadornbride @jamigobao tied the knot with her sweetheart Brad, with the help of the #enchantingelopement crew! She chose to wear the Double Teardrop Earrings in #rosegold from my #couturejewelry collection along with a custom made rose gold & champagne #druzy bracelet, in honor of her love for natural crystals. I don't think she could have been a more beautiful bride (and how cute are those pups!?) Sending all my love and congratulations to the newlyweds from sunny Ocho Rios today. 😎💖 (📸: @1783photography)
Today on the #jadorndesigns blog: A close-up look at the custom earrings I designed as attendee gifts for @gartergirl's Blog Your Own Business Workshop.

Last night was the 5th annual #jadorndesigns holiday party and I had so much fun celebrating the past year with family and friends. 🎉 We mixed, we mingled, we sipped champagne, and we enjoyed lots of beautiful jewelry in the holiday spirit! 💎💕 2016 brought so many new & talented friends into my circle, including this sweet girl @oliviareedphoto who is an intern at @risingtidesociety. She was the official photographer of the event and I can't wait to share her pictures from last night's party with you all on the #blog!

Blogger Bling 💫 I designed these pretty little things for the #BYOBworkshop with @gartergirl a few weeks ago and am so excited to share all about it on the #jadorndesigns blog later this week. Until then...enjoy the teaser! (📷: @joymichellephotography)
Shop small, shop creative 🎁 I'm honored and excited to be featured in the @risingtidesociety holiday gift guide for the second year in a row! This is such a talented community of small creative businesses, and I urge you all to browse the gift guide while buying presents for your loved ones. You'll have a thoughtful, unique gift to give and lots of warm fuzzies to keep for investing in the work of an artist or artisan! ☺️ PS - In case you missed the email announcement, I am doing something completely new for a holiday promotion this year!

Hold on gently, with open hands 💕 This beautiful photo of my Something Old Pearl Bracelet was featured in a gallery by @laurenfair on @magnoliarouge today. Lauren styled the bride with this bracelet, my Sprout and Pearl #rosegold #earrings, and a #custom #bridal comb I made for the occasion.

Spent the morning of my #MakeWavesMonday 🌊 packaging up the swag I made for @gartergirl's #blogyourownbusiness workshop tomorrow! It's at the @marigoldgrey studio, so I knew my bows had to be on point. These ones aren't *quite* as perfect as Jamie's, but I'm still proud of them! 🎀 What are you making today?
Here's to a fresh start 💖 I love looking forward to the beginning of a brand new week with a clean mental slate. The Blog Your Own Business workshop with @gartergirl is this week 🤓 and so is the #philanthropy month gathering of #ttbethesda! 🍾 I can't wait to learn all about SEO & then party it up with my creative entrepreneur friends from @risingtidesociety. Let's do this, y'all! 💪🏽(PS - This is the custom bridal comb I made for @danaroseleephotography - one of my all time favorites! 💕)
"True friends are like diamonds - bright, beautiful, valuable, and always in style." 💎 Thankful for this sweet friend & talented colleague of mine who made are my makeup was on point for today's photo shoot. Thank you @lipstickandchiffon! 😘
I've been published! 🤓 Today I'm over on the @risingtidesociety blog with an article titled, "The Art of the Pivot: What to Do When Your Best-Laid Plans Don't Work Out." It's all about bouncing back from failure in #smallbusiness taken straight from my own experiences as a #jeweler. You can read it via the link in my profile! ☝🏽️
Here's to us 💕 I'll never tire of seeing two people who genuinely adore one another get lost in each other's gaze. These two lovebirds were kind enough to model for our romantic summer shoot just two days before their first anniversary, and it's clear they're still smitten. See all the romance over on @theperfectpalette today by following the link in my profile. (📷: @laurennievod // All contributors tagged)
Monday, Monday ✨ This day of the week can be tough, but being published certainly lightens the load! This romantic outdoor #weddinginspiration shoot with pops of rose gold - like my Priya Earrings -is up on @theperfectpalette today and it's bursting with lush florals, early summer warmth, and palpable love. You can see it all via my profile link! (📷: @laurennievod // All contributors tagged)
I'm blushing ☺️ Today I was thrilled and surprised to see my Laurel Earrings in blush and gold featured in the #HeartCenteredHoliday gift guide! This community of women entrepreneurs has been a great encouragement and resource for me as I've grown #jadorndesigns, and its leader @reinaandco is one of the kindest souls you'll meet. 💕 I think she perfectly captured the importance of why we #shopsmall around the holidays: "Each time you choose to shop small rather than choosing a big box you're putting your money into an investment into somebody's business and their dreams." ✨
It's Fri-yay! 🎉 What part of your weekend is sparkling on the horizon? I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend at home with my boys, Dustin and Peter Bun 👱🏼🐰 It's probably going to be the last one I have in a while, so I plan on enjoying it! (PS - These are my champagne druzy drop earrings and I wear them almost every day because they go with everything!) ✨
One beautiful bridal accessory deserves another ✨ I'm absolutely smitten with the way #jadornbride Jill paired her custom gold hair vine with her classic ivory garter from @gartergirl 😍 This thoughtful bride is a small business owner herself, so she made it a priority to bring in elements from her favorite local artisans while planning her wedding. You can see it all in my most recent #blog post via the profile link! ☝🏽 And speaking of blogging, Juli of The Garter Girl is hosting a blogging and SEO workshop on 11/15 and I cannot wait to start learning from her! Let me know in the comments of you'll be there too! (📷: @hannahmink)
A few weeks ago this beauty and her sweetheart tied the knot. I had the great honor of designing her #custombridaljewelry. ✨Today on the #jadorndesigns blog, I'm sharing a close look at Jill's elegant wedding attire and how she styled it all, down to the smallest detail. Click on over with the link in my profile. (📷: @hannahmink // 👰🏼: @tomahawkdesignco)
There are some things that I just can't go without to keep my #couturejewelry business going. ☕️🛠 Coffee and my trusty pliers are two of those things; now I've added another one to the list: @Honeybook! This addition to my workflow has been a long time coming and I'm thrilled to be the newest member of the Honeybook family! With the holidays approaching quickly - my busiest quarter of the year - I'm relieved to know my projects & events will now be safe in one place. 💪🏽 Upward & onward!
The loveliest of detail shots from @hannahmink at the wedding of Jill and Eric last month! ✨ I made a special set of custom jewelry for this lovely #jadornbride, including two pairs of earrings, a pearl bracelet, and a golden hair vine to complement her low, loose updo. I'll be sharing more photos of Jill's gorgeous #weddingday look on the #blog tomorrow!
And then my jaw hit the floor... 😍 Let's all take a moment to appreciate how utterly gorgeous @danaroseleephotography was on her wedding day. The custom bridal accessories I made for Dana were just the icing on the cake! ✨
Monday...we meet again ☕️ Good morning to all you insta-friends! May your morning be filled with plenty of hot coffee (or tea if that's your jam) and motivation for the week ahead. We got this! 👊🏼 This pretty photo is from my #trunkshow at @fabfrocksdc this weekend! 💖
Take Me Away ✈️ I've been so caught up in the #InstaTideChallenge this week that I almost forgot to share... Our "Just Married" editorial with @agriffinevents was featured on @easternshoreweddings earlier this week! 💗🎉 It's a cheeky, sexy look at the day after the wedding, when it's just two people waking up in love, ready to embark on their future together. (PHOTO: @cecilgiraffe | All vendors tagged)
It's the final day of the #InstaTideChallenge and what a week it's been! I've loved the chance to share more of my heart as a designer with you all and getting to know other creatives who inspire me. 🌊 One creative who's been in my corner since day one is my pal Mary @hopscotchalk. She's the kind of friend I could talk with for hours about all the things that matter most to me: equality and feminism, living intentionally, spirituality, what it means to be an artist, the importance of cute fuzzy animals, and our shared passions for cartoons and gluten free cooking. 🎨 Mary is also an insanely talented painter, even though she doesn't believe me when I tell her how amazing she is. (Girlfriend has a fine art degree!) She even wears my jewelry and has #jadorndesigns pieces that I made before the official launch of my business! 💎 I've never had a sister, but having her in my life is what I imagine all the best parts of sisterhood being like. 👭 This is one of my favorite photos of us, from @kimhovell's paint night at @risingtidesociety.
If you've met me in real life, chances are you've heard me talk about this guy 🐰 For those who only know me online, meet Mr. Bun! This little guy has been a member of our family for nearly 4 years and he has captured my heart completely. In the time since we adopted him, he's gone from a shy, standoffish pet to a spunky, affectionate, trusting, hilarious little love! Every morning I begin my day by checking emails while he zooms around my feet. He gives me kisses and nuzzles when I'm down and he never lets me forget when lunchtime is (he follows me around until I give him the his salad! 🌿) He's not allowed in my studio because he chews EVERYTHING, but he loves to keep me company while I do office work and we snuggle on the couch most nights. Solopreneurship can be lonely work, but having him to keep me company in my home-office makes it so much easier. 🐾❤️ #InstaTideChallenge
Something lovely for my fellow night owls ✨🌙 My jewels have officially landed in Alexandria and are all set up for this weekend's #trunkshow at @fabfrocksdc! I love the way Margaret paired these pieces with a classic lace gown from their shop's collection. 😍 Saturday is all booked, but appointments are still available for tomorrow & Friday. This shop is so beautiful and its staff is so warm and welcoming. If you're looking for your #weddingattire still, pay them a visit!
"From this moment I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines." -Walt Whitman 📚 This quote hangs on the wall of my studio right above my jewelry bench, and it's one that has become a sort of mission statement I've adopted for my work & life. A fact about me that only my closest and oldest friends know is that I have been a fearful person for most of my life. From the outside, I was a high achieving perfectionist who was well liked by most people, but on the inside I was crippled by the fear of what would happen if I broke the rules that had been handed to me. It's funny what happens when the rules betray you, though. The economy crashes or you relocate and have to build your life from the ground up again. Maybe your whole worldview falls apart... A series of game-changing events steered my adult life in a risky but beautiful direction. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be a business owner (though I always did secretly want to be an artist)! My life looks a lot messier now than it did before, but it's also rich, creative, and deeply fulfilling. 💙 By throwing off the limits and imaginary lines, I'm growing into the truest version of myself: an artist carving out her own place in the world, one earring at a time. #InstaTideChallenge
NEW HEIRLOOMS 💎 Today at my #jewelersbench I'm beginning work on a commissioned piece that will make a new necklace and bracelet set out of an #heirloom #brooch and beaded necklace. The original pieces belonged to a family member who recently passed on, and the new set will be a surprise gift to her beloved sister this Christmas. These types of projects are my absolute favorite!
Well hello! My name is Ali and I'm the woman behind J'Adorn Designs, a custom and couture jewelry studio based in Maryland. 💎 If you're new around here, I'd love to get to know you in the comments! A bit about me: I'm a self-taught jeweler who had a former life as an international educator. I'm still fluent in German (my college major) and love to practice it whenever I get the chance. I've also been known to get down to German hip-hop, but few have actually seen it happen. 😉 When I'm not busy stringing pearls and wire-wrapping bridal combs, I love to spend time with my BFF/husband and our rabbit, Peter Bun. 🐰 The heart behind my work is one that strives to honor the love stories of people's lives, from romance to friendship and self-love. Jewelry is a tangible reminder of our deepest sentiments; I strive to honor your individual story with the craftsmanship and expertise I bring to each design. 💙✨
Just a little bit obsessed with these raw crystal & rose gold drop earrings I created for my 5th anniversary photo shoot. ✨ Still keeping the gallery under wraps (for now!) but in the meantime, I'm thinking of adding these beauties to the 2017 collection for #jadorndesigns. What do you think? (📷: @bekahkay)

In honor of #nationalbossday, I'm popping the champs and taking a moment to celebrate 🎉 Over the years I've had good bosses and I've had lousy ones, but my favorite by far has been having the incredible chance to work for myself and build my own future as an artist. CHEERS! 🍾

#TuesdaysTogether in #Annapolis was wonderful as ever this morning! We had such a great discussion about blogging & SEO - I think each one of us came away with at least 1 new idea! Thanks to @risingtidesociety and @nataliefranke for always being gracious hosts 💙

Just the two of us 💖 With all of the #weddinginspiration our there these days, it's easy to forget what comes after the #ido. Here's a little secret, though: it's even more beautiful than your perfectly executed & styled wedding. It's just the two of you, back to how it all began. 💞 Today on the #jadorndeisgns blog, I'm sharing an intimate look at newlywed life the morning after the wedding. You don't want to miss this one!

You make up your own name, of course! 💃🏼 Today on the blog, I'm spotlighting the custom bracelet I made for one sweet daughter to give her hip mama to celebrate the first baby in their family. 💜
✨Love is the Only Gold ✨ I still love this photo by @bekahkay from our styled shoot with @dearsweetheartevents at @antrim1844 last summer. There's nothing more beautiful than love. ❤️
A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats 🌊 I've been reflecting on this idea, the official slogan of @risingtidesociety, as I settle into my messy studio this morning. This principle of #creative #entrepreneurs working together to elevate each other has made a world of difference in my life & business. Unfortunately, I think the opposite can also be true. Misery loves company and jumping on the negativity bandwagon, whether in conversation, Internet forums, or other environments, only serves to drag us all down. Fellow #creatives, let's work together to keep the tide rising with positivity, empathy, and encouragement. We all know how hard this life can be. Never forget that your words have power and you can choose to use them to elevate or to discourage. 💙 #communityovercompetition
💎+🍪 = COOKIIIIIIEEEES 😍 // I've had an amazing week exploring & eating my way through Chicago. Such a needed break from the crazy season my little family has been in!

True confession time... I may or may not have audibly gasped when I first saw this shot that @brookemichelle took of my Oval and Halo Teardrop Earrings at Olivia & Anthony's wedding!

See the full set over on the #jadorndesigns blog in my most recent post 💕Happy Friday, lovelies!

I'm out of the studio this week getting some much needed R&R with my loved ones, but had to share these gorgeous tags I commissioned from @allisondeecalligraphy as part of a batch of gift boxes I recently put together.

For Jill's custom bridal jewelry, I made a slight adjustment to the Laurel Earrings in Gold and Blush from my pre-designed collection. She wanted to incorporate pearls in each piece she wore, so I made her earrings with a freshwater pearl stud instead of the gold lever-back earwires you'll see on the original pair. See the other custom pieces from this bridal commission over on the #jadorndesigns blog today! (📷: @nicholermeredith)

Wrapping up a custom order of 8 bridesmaids' jewelry gifts in the studio today & I just had to share the adorable gift wrap! 🎁 For custom bridal orders, I always let the client choose a color for their ribbon to match their taste & wedding color palette. I also write & attach each gift tag by hand in my studio, making sure every detail is in place before shipment. I think the personal touches really make a difference!

I'm always talking about how pieces from the #jadorndesigns #couture collection can be easily customized, and this is a I'm always talking about how pieces from the #jadorndesigns shop can be easily customized, and this is a perfect example! Recent #jadornbride Kimberly loved the Leaf & Pearl necklace for her #bridesmaid Missy, but had a vision of silver jewelry to match her cool grey color palette. Such an easy tweak, and the end result was stunning! (📷: @samanthajayphoto)
Recent #jadorndesigns #bride Kimberly had such an elegant vision for her Philadelphia wedding! She decided to use a combination of our couture accessories collection & custom services to design the perfect jewelry gifts for each of her bridesmaids. 💎 (Also, how amazing is that shade of grey!?) 📷 by @samanthajayphoto
I seriously can't get enough of these pictures by @brookemichellej from Anthony + Olivia's bayside #wedding last weekend. 😍 Can you spot Liv's custom #jadorndesigns bracelet in this shot!? 👀
Sending huge hugs & congratulations to these sweet friends who tied the knot yesterday!Olivia couldn't have looked more flawless, right down to her custom #jadorndesigns #bridaljewelry (📸: @brookemichellej) ✨💎💕
Today in the #jadorndesigns studio: working on some custom pieces for a bridal party (how cute are these tiny marble studs!?) ✨
Our second styled shoot featured by @borrowedandblue over the weekend is one of my favorites from the winter. 🎶💕 "How Sweet It Is" was inspired by the music of Marvin Gaye and shot at a venue named for the artist. Click through the new profile link to see all the loveliness! (📷: @corrinekensingtonphotography // All contributors tagged)
Not just one, but TWO styled shoots I contributed to were featured this weekend on @borrowedandblue! 🎉 The first one was this ultra-modern, luxury DC wedding editorial inspired by Maya Angelou's "Still I Rise." Click through the profile link for the full feature - and stay tuned for the second feature later this afternoon! (📸 And shout out to @aambing for making the Priya #bridalearrings in #rosegold look so good in this pic!)
Another beautiful shot from our styled shoot collab with @lovelybubblyevents and @mikaelamariephoto that was featured on @ruffledblog yesterday. I just loved how the blush crystals in the gold Laurel Earrings coordinated with the peach & copper color scheme! 🍑💕
Our peach + copper #styledshoot collaboration with @lovelybubblyevents and @mikaelamariephoto was featured on @ruffledblog today! 🍑💕 Pictured is our Julia bracelet from the new Fall 2016 Couture collection. (Fellow collaborators tagged!)
Watching a rainy sunset and working on some custom bridal sketches in the studio this evening. 🌅
My sweet friend Amy was a stunning #bride on her #wedding day this past weekend and I was honored that she chose to wear the Amina hair comb and Corinne earrings from the #jadorndesigns collection - which just so happened to be the perfect match to the necklace her new mother-in-law gifted her! 💕
I don't always get to be a #bridesmaid, but when I do I make sure the entire #bridalparty is decked out in #jadorndesigns #bridaljewelry! The bride is even MORE stunning - stay tuned for more photos! 💕
This is one of my all-time favorite pieces from the #jadorndesigns collection. ❤️ "Something Old" features pearls, spacers, and a beautifully detailed clasp from different vintage pieces that I took apart and used to make something new. It's perfect for the sentimental bride who cherishes the past. // Photo by @laurenfair from our styled shoot at Jardin de Buis.
Another set of gorgeous custom bridal jewelry going out the door today! 💎 This bride took such good care of her bridesmaids. I just love being the accomplice ☺️
Wrapping up the new collection launch day by sharing the third and final new feature added to the #jadorndesigns shop as part of FALL 2016 COUTURE: 💐 flower girl accessories! This clip coordinates perfectly with our small rosette bracelet in ivory & is suitable for flower girls of all ages, from toddler to tween. Click through the profile link to see more!
My new collection launched today, and I'm highlighting three brand new features that have come to the #jadorndesigns shop with FALL 2016 COUTURE. Earlier we looked at 1️⃣ hair pieces, and the next one up is 2️⃣ LIMITED EDITION pieces! These are one- or few-of-a-kind items that will only be available via the J'Adorn Designs shop (no other retailers, even if they carry out line). This crystal branch hair comb is just one of the limited release pieces in the new collection - see them all via the profile link! 💙
As I mentioned earlier, the new #jadorndesigns collection has 3️⃣ brand new features, which I'll be sharing here today. The first new item on the list is HAIR PIECES! 👰🏼 I've created 6 combs, one clip, and one set of bobby pins for the Fall 2016 Collection, all made completely by hand in my studio. Click through the profile link to see them all, and leave a comment telling me which one is your favorite!
Drumroll, please... The FALL 2016 COUTURE collection has officially arrived! It's my best one yet, and I am so excited to show it to you. 🎉 There are 3 brand new categories in this collection that I'll be sharing here throughout the day, so be sure to check back at 12, 3, and 6pm EST to see what they are! But right now, I want you to click through the profile link to see the full collection! 💖(Photo by @nicholemeredith)
"Up then, fair phoenix bride, frustrate the sun; // Thyself from thine affection // takest warmth enough, and from thine eye // all lesser birds will take their jollity." ☀️ Today @laurenfair sent me the most beautiful photo gallery from a recent #styledshoot at a European garden & greenhouse. (If that's not my ideal wedding venue, I don't know what is!) This sentimental moment captured my heart. I love seeing my Something Old vintage bridal bracelet peeking out from behind the bouquet. 💗
I've been so busy with custom work lately that I've fallen a bit behind on the launch of the #Fall2016Bridal Collection! 😱 Thankfully this rainy day has afforded me a nice bit of studio time to get the job done. The LAUNCH will be Monday, but insiders will have exclusive early access this weekend. (Want on the list? Click through the profile link!) Now then...who's ready for some fresh #bridalcouture? (📷@nicholermeredith)
I always love spending time with my community of creatives in @risingtidesociety! 🌊 Today I mixed it up and visited the #Annapolis group for the first time in 2016 & finally saw the new RTS headquarters (spoiler alert: it's gorgeous). Thanks @nataliefranke & @kristaajones for hosting another great gathering! RTS, you have my heart forever ❤️ #communityovercompetition
#TBT to last Wednesday night at #TheBridalEventDC! 💖 I'm cheesin' big because got to adorn a beautiful model with pieces from the upcoming #jadorndesigns collection, then had a blast meeting engaged couples, hanging out with some of my best friendors, and munching on delicious treats from @mixinmimi and @fluff_ness. The kind folks at @heirloomdc even made up a special celiac-friendly plate for me. 😍 The women of @bridalbellhop & @jasmine_est1982 put together such a fantastic event. (📷: @sweetsby_e, cake baking extraordinaire and appreciator of my dance moves)
The Filigree Bracelet in Golden Pearl is another one of the beautiful pieces that just went on sale in the #jadorndesigns shop. Raise your hand if your mom would like this for #MothersDay! (📷: @jennashriver / ✨: @celebratinglovebymarcie
Attention #MothersDay procrastinators: I've got your back! 👊🏼 Lots of pretty little things just got reduced in the #jadorndesigns shop, including most of our #druzy earrings. Click on over with the profile link, make your selection, and just wait for delivery. I'll even wrap it up with a bow! 🎀(Photo: @jennashriver)
This delicate little necklace from the upcoming Fall 2016 collection was a favorite of just about every person who stopped by my booth at the @coutureshow last weekend. Her name is "Juliet" and she's got a bracelet & earrings set to match! 😍 I can't wait for the new collection launch in just a couple weeks! 📷: @nicholemeredith #jadorndesigns #bridalcouture #couturejewelry
✨🍾✨Toasting the completion of my first #bridalmarket & a safe return home this evening. So glad I have these custom designed coupe glasses from @eikohdesign for the occasion!
