An ode to the origami butterfly

It's time for me to bring back some old favorites!

A customer has requested for the longest time the origami earrings to come back-- so much so, she was sweet enough to send origami papers to my home to inspire me!

Stacey, you are awesome. Without your encouragement I would have never been able to make this batch of origami butterflies.

The process does take a while--
- Papers are cut to size, butterflies folded and glued on day 1. Left to cure overnight.
- Metal wire is placed in the middle of the butterfly, glued, cured overnight.
- Butterflies are coated again, cured overnight.
- Lastly, SWAROVSKI Crystals are added to embellish the butterflies. The earrings are finished with 14K gold filled or sterling silver hook.
Easily, this process spans at least three days-- it's been tough trying to find enough time to work on the steps in batches.

So here are the latest creations -- origami butterfly earrings. These are only a few of what is available.
Only one of each pair is available; so each design is one of a kind!

In response to popular demand... :)

... I spent the last couple of days making ONE OF A KIND cuffs. A lot of you gals like how that I offer designs which are NEVER duplicated, so here are 3 cuff sets which will NEVER be duplicated in the same way for ANYONE. Generally for sets like these, I make them with materials I don't get in often :) Enjoy!

Please note, making these cuffs is extremely hard on my the joints in my hand-- so I think I may need to take a small break after this batch :X


^ This set is especially special to me. If you've been following a while, I think you'll agree that something like this just completely expresses my style, colorful, very spring-inspired.... as is the following set:



I originally designed this for a customer, but I mis-interpreted her desires, so I'll be redesigning her set anew. I thought I'd put it on sale here instead of taking it apart:



These go FAST, so please act quickly if something catches your eye :)

And for those wondering how I personally wear my cuff sets, I find that this position is the most secure for me.

However, since everyone's ear size and shape is different, you might need to pink/enlarge your cuff to make it fit your ear better.

Also, winner of EYE CREAM is petitechouxx
Please email me your full name/shipping address, and I'll get you your eye cream to you ASAP!
