Everyday Elegance

Spring is in the air and the flowers are planted! I have brought in a bunch of new beads for sale, creation and custom designing.  I have been a busy bee, many new pieces are out on the shelves now!  Come and see the new freshwater pearl strands starting at $9, amazing 6mm citrine rounds, many new shape/shades of chalk turquoise, array of cinnibar beads and more!

Yesterday I recieved all of my jewelry that has been out traveling to Austria, Tuscon and New York under Erica Bapst Designs, this winter.  It has been wonderful to have my jewelry out there for others to see, and recieve an honorable mention at the KGI Worldwide Design Contest, but is is also nice to have it here again for my loyal customers to see and enjoy.  So please stop in and try some extravagent jewelry made with CRYSTALLIZED (TM) - Swarovski Elements, on today!

I was recently browsing through my latest edition of Lucky Magazine and was inspired by a page of spotlighted jewelry.  The trend was flower jewelry in colors that truly popped!  These bold pieces  have an allure all their own and could turn even the simplest outfit into something special.  I immediately set out to find such pieces of jewelry for Adorn.  I had success in finding a few costume jewelry pieces including 3 necklace and earrings sets, and several fabulous rings.  The prices range from about $12 - $43.

 I couldn’t stop there.  Once I started the search for these vibrant pieces,  I was caught in the net of color.  So….this season in Adorn you will find a wide selection jewel-toned costume jewelry.  Just in today are chunky and funky rings, solid color bangle bracelets and graphic pendant/earring sets.  $2 -$12

Today Audrey has chosen a delicate necklace to match her dress.  She plans on wearing it to semi-casual, play date lunches and occasionally out to dinner with mom and dad.  

Like Audrey you will also find that this necklace, made of silver shade Swarovski crystal and a neutral tone of pink rose Czech glass pearl nuggets, delivers enough sparkle to wear for any special occasion.  This delicate necklace, however is not so over-the-top that you couldn’t wear it in the workplace or out to lunch.  Hand knotted on silk, it measures 20″ in length and can be purchased for $24.

Here is the very first Audrey’s pick of the day.  When we came into the store this morning I told her to go pick something out and this is what she found.

 A brilliant red seatbelt/polyweave handbag.  A girl after my own heart.  This bag is roomy and has three side pockets. One is zippered, and the other two I find perfect for things like your cell phone and other items you need to get at quickly, like keys, lip-gloss, gum etc.  Audrey uses those pockets for her baby phone and Elmo comb. 

This fun and durable bag costs $39 and comes in a variety of colors.  There are also different sizes and shapes of the polyweave bag available.  My stock is ever-changing.

Hello!  Welcome to the newest companion to Adorn!  I’m just getting started but there will be much more to come.  Everyday Elegance will offer news on new items that have arrived at the store, new lines of jewelry that I have developed, and upcoming events in the Adorn Calender.  There may even be some banter about upcoming trends, or new releases in the world of  jewelry, accessories, and beads. 

 I hope you have a super day.  Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to come back anytime!
