I am into another store and so excited to be with this awesome store called Pink Blvd. in the East Hills Neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Mi. They have fun, fashionable and fantastic finds at this wonderful little boutique! If you get a chance check it out. In the meantime I thought I would share a link to my jewelry spot on television, whoot, whoot. I think that Rachael Ruiz really liked it! In the meantime I have made the above piece with vintage chain, vintage beads, buttons and pearls. There is also vintage charms and a lovely baroque pearl in ivory. I kind of hope this piece doesn't sell for awhile so I can enjoy it. As always you can send me an email or check out my website at tinarothwell.com I won't be creating jewelry for a couple of weeks I need to focus on Art Prize Grand Rapids, one of the nations largest art competition. Wow, do I have alot going on or what. The deadline will be approaching soon. I will be exhibiting at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, a Grand Rapids luxury hotel. Stay in the know!!! and check back often. 

Trunk Show - Awesome Vintage Inspired Jewelry!

Last Thursday March 18th was my first official Trunk Show in Grand Rapids, Mi, and it was a huge success. I feel that when you work really hard and love what you do, it pays off. We had a great turn out and considering this market, the customers that attended, did purchase. I love the true validation when they want to stay and browse the work and continue to say it's unlike what they have now. It's unique, fresh and original. I try really hard to stay true to myself and make my work my own style. Yes, you can be inspired by others but it is always better to make the work your own. This is not always easy, but certainly the route I take whenever I create!

The piece on the left is adorned with 3 vintage hexagon glass Japanese beads, two very large natural agate nugget gemstones on aged copper chain. The piece on the right is adorned with various colors of natural green turquoise nugget gemstones, vintage tassel, topaz nugget and a very pretty baroque pearl on aged brass.

swarovski crystals, shells and freshwater pearl necklace for christmas

This is one of my lastest designs and it is so sweet I love it. The swarovski crystal is the main focal point in this piece creating that juxtapostion that I love so much. That elegant and rough thing, gotta love it. I added the silk bow as something sweet, kind of like the icing on the cake. This piece has not only crystals, pearls, shells but I also added a few garnets for the elegance we girls love. This piece can be worn daily or out for a night on the town. It measures around 18" approx. You can see it for sale on my new site that should be up and running real soon. CrazyCrystalsandPearls.com check it out!
