Awesome jewels that I can’t wear (and some that I can).
March 3rd, 2009I am so desperate for spring that I’ve found myself coveting all of these wonderfully delicate, flowery, rosary-style necklaces, even though I can’t wear things like this for an indefinite number of years. You know, as the mother of a four month old who will have siblings coming along just as she’s old enough to not break my jewelry and try to rip earrings out of my lobes :)
If I were a childless person who could still wear whatever jewelry she wanted, I would be saving my pennies for these:
Yellow Dream Flower Pendant Necklace by Tamar // $45.00
Primavera Pendant by Fern Street Designs // on sale for $24.00
Red Rose Necklace by Divine Rose // $38.00
I can wear a few babyproof things, I guess, like this awesome custom-stamped cuff by Lotus Blossoms. Great customer service and super-fast turnaround time on this skinny cuff stamped with the ISBN of our daughter’s first book (The Giving Tree) and cut to fit my abnormally skinny wrists!
I also had my bead-shop-employee-friend Erin babyproof two strands of my great-grandmother’s vintage glass beads – she wore them with dresses to do farm and housework, so I’m wearing them to channel some of that domestic goddess from the fifties and sixties… strung on 49 strands of interwoven steel wire coated in nylon, and triple-crimped with sterling crimps :) Hazel is a fan:

Thank you so much for the sweet feedback and post – it looks great with your other bracelets! (I have to be honest, when I looked at it done I couldn’t imagine that it would fit a grown person!) :)
