"Gorgeous"





I had already purchased the companion necklace and wanted the bracelet to use as a bracelet but also to extend the length of the necklace. It perfect so many ways.

"beautiful, substantial and well-made earrings"





These earrings are gorgeous, and I can definitely imagine that Frida Kahlo might have worn them. The earrings are very substantial and have some weight (although they are still very comfortable to wear) and have a nice dimension to them. The backs are cleanly finished as well. They are not small and bashful so do not wear these if you do not want anyone to notice your beautiful jewelry. I am very happy with these and will be happy to purchase additional jewelry from this designer.
