Custom Ethical Wedding Jewelry

The 2013 wedding season is coming to a close, and there is a new batch of bridezillas planning their 2014 weddings (just kidding, I only know one 2014 bride, and she seems very calm and collected...so far.)  One fun aspect of the wedding planning process, is picking the jewelry.  I was delighted earlier this year, when my friend Kim, asked me to create the jewelry for her bridesmaids.  She told me what she had in mind for her ladies, and voila...check it out:   And here are the lovely ladies on the big day!   Have a lovely day!
