In ancient times older women were the keepers of primal mysteries and were revered for their special wisdom: today there is a feeling that our culture is reawakening to the power of our elders. Joyce Tenneson presents 80 portraits of women aged 65 to 100, who comment on their experiences of ageing.

The pearl jewelry was so popular earlier this spring that I decided to create a few sets of these classic earrings in a brand new color: bronze.

The earrings measure about 3/4 inch from the top of the curve of the ear wire to the bottom of the pearl. They are pretty small and delicate and smaller than most of the earrings I typically make. Each pearl itself is about 1/4 inch high. I only had enough of this color freshwater pearl to make a few of these so if you love them, grab them while they're available.

I also made a few matching pearl necklaces, see them here. 

I am excited about this new collection of oyster jewelry dishes that is a collaboration between Grit and Grace and a gifted artist named Laura Lobdell. The crab, sea turtle and coral designs are reproductions of watercolor paintings by Laura of Printed Hues. We also carry her tea towels which are decorated with her beautiful watercolor paintings of oysters.

About Laura Lobdell
