Be You, Be Unique, Be Fabulous

Elizabeth Taylor once said, "Jewelry has the power to be the little thing that makes you feel unique."

What could be better than having a lovingly crafted, beautiful piece of your own collection to make you feel unique and fabulous during this cold winter and all through the year.  Wearing a piece, or pieces, of sparkle from an artisan like Stephanie at SWCreations will give you the chance to both feel unique and fabulous. When you buy a piece of handmade jewelry, you are not only getting a one-of-a-kind piece of art, you are supporting a small business.

Handmade Jewelry, A Shared Journey

Handmade Jewelry, A Shared Journey

Brisk winter days are here, and the season encourages us toward warmth, comfort, and introspection. We might find ourselves looking back over significant moments, like looking into a faceted crystal prism, and discovering how they have reflected, refracted, or redefined us. Making or purchasing handmade jewelry is a wonderful way to celebrate the ways in which we have changed or the ways in which we have held true to ourselves over the course of the year.
