West Seattle Street Fair

Happy RJD jewelry purchasers!

Hello all! RJD has had a busy summer and I apologize for not posting more! Making jewelry and selling is sometimes more fun.... 

Back in July we participated in the West Seattle Street Fair. We were a part of the ART DIVE, sponsored by The Twilight Artist Collective. It was great fun and I had a blast - in addition to selling a TON of jewelry.  Thanks to all that stopped by to say hi and supported our business!

Mama & Baby

More mama and baby bracelets!

Luna's Beauties 2

Here is an amazing photo of Luna wearing her earrings. Luna and Sergio were married on the beach in Hawaii. The ceremony was casual, beach-y and private. While pearls are considered quite traditional, these are so natural and organic that they really compliment the feeling of a beach wedding.

ID Bracelets

Having my cute little one around me has caused my attention to be re focused on new things. Mama and baby jewelry! Check out this sweet little baby bracelet. I made the same bracelet for my self. Yes, it says my daughters name, think of it as the new version of the birthstone jewels. Instead of the colored stones, you get the beautiful name you took so long to decide on!

Luna's Beauties

Luna and Sergio work at C&P coffee in West Seattle, and they'll be married in Hawaii in a few weeks. I've loved this quaint coffee shop on California Ave for quite some time, but over the last few months I have adored it and spent many an hour in the back yard sipping iced lattes, reading, hanging out with Luka (my 2 month daughter) and making jewelry. As I was making the jewelry for Danielle (see last post) Luna asked about a pair for her up coming wedding in Hawaii. Here's what I created for her. They are very similar to the ones I made for Danielle, except they are just a smidge shorter, about 2".

JEWELS, for Danielle and her ladies.

Danielle and Frank were married August 15th, 2008. Her wedding went from a fairly casual to an all out classic gorgeous wedding.... with a little more "fancy" than originally thought. Her jewelry shows that transformation. Originally we were going to make some initial pendants for the girls to wear, then as things evolved it didn't quite fit with the feeling or match their dresses. In the end we decided on pearls, stones and crystals. They are SO lovely!

Necklaces for the bridesmaids.

And a stunning pair of long, chin skimming earrings for the Bride.

Congratulations Danielle and Frank! All the best to you!

New Work! lovely little ditty!

Check out this new set of Gems! Mary and her fiancee Mark are getting married this weekend... April 26th! Mark is a graphic designer. He created a logo for their wedding and we incorporated it into some jewels for Mary, her maid of honor, her sister and sister-in-law AND Mark. I hope they love these as much as I do. 

I've got to get to work making some of these for ME!

Detail of center piece on Maid of honors necklace. 

This is one of 2 matching circles cut from the same band of silver. 

The other is on the brides necklace.

Missing from these detail photos of the maid of honors necklace 

is the logo which is embedded in resin. 

It dangles from the clasp down her back.SEXY!

This is the necklace designed for the sisters. 

It is a representation of the logo Mark designed using metal. 

Using different levels of sand paper I was able to 

create the same visual look of the graphic.

Cuff links for Mark... using his design!

I wish Mark and Mary all the love in the world. 

May your marriage be full of love, compassion, giggles and never ending growth.

Thanks for asking me to help make this day special for you.
