Back from Israel

Hello everyone,

I just got back from an amazing vacation in Israel! The experience was life changing. I saw some beautiful buildings, parks, and historic sights. I ate some pretty good food. I'm now more obsessed with hummus than I was before. I made new friends from all over the world. I tried something new every day and had the time of my life.

It's been hard to re-adjust to real life, but I'm glad to be home. I want tell you about a pop-up sale I'll be participating in today: The Jubilee Women's Center Valentine's Day Craft Market. I've been working hard all week get ready for this sale, and I'm super excited to be supporting such a good cause.

The Jubilee Associate Board is hosting an arts and crafts market to raise funds in support of Jubilee Women’s Center, an organization that supports and houses women facing homelessness. A display of crafts and art by local Seattle artists will be available for purchase, along with light libations to enjoy while shopping. Products will vary from paintings, graphic prints and stationary sets, to embroidered home decor, jewelry, ceramics, and more!

When:    Sunday, February 11, 2018, 2-6 p.m.
Where:  Generations, 507 East Mercer St, Seattle 98102

Come on by with your family and friends and support the extraordinary women of Jubilee!

Happy New Year

I hope you all had a warm and wonderful holiday season and a fantastic new year so far. I know I have. I finished up the year strong doing custom order and repairs, took a few days off to relax and celebrate, and I've been getting organized and planning out the year to come. New Years day is my favorite holiday because it's a fresh start and I always feel so inspired, motivated, and creative. Here's what I've been up to:

Stellar Studs

Stellar Rings

So, the last few weeks I've been working on a new jewelry line. I'm thinking of calling it my "Stellar Collection" because most of the pieces are based off of physics and astronomy concepts. I'm not at all a scientist or a physics expert, but I'm really fascinated about the concepts that make our universe function.

3rd dimension earrings

Everything is still in progress, but I'm super excited and wanted to give you a peek of what I'm working on. Keep a look out for the rest of the collection, hopefully coming your way mid-February. Or, if you're really intrigued, send me a message and ask about my new line!
(Also, I'm planning on doing a photoshoot and will need some models)

Thanks!

Nina

Holiday Orders

Hello everyone,

Hanukkah has come and gone and now it's almost Christmas. I've been up to my eyeballs in custom orders the last few weeks and I wanted to share some of my creations with you.

Tiny 14k yellow gold ring to go on a chain

Sterling silver chain with square wire elements

Sterling silver necklace with "III" hand-engraved

Sterling silver bracelet with stamped letters

Sterling Silver earring (one had been lost so I recreated it)

I'm so grateful to all my customers for entrusting me with the creation of these precious gifts. I've also really enjoyed doing repairs and bringing old jewelry back to life. I'm thankful for all the amazing opportunities I've had this year, and really excited for some events I already have planned for next year. Keep an eye out for new pieces that I'll be posting soon!

Thanks and happy holidays!

New Locations

Hello everyone,

I’m in the midst of holiday season fun. And by fun I mean making jewelry every single day. I’ve honestly never been happier to wake up every day and do what I love. It’s a lot of work, but so rewarding.
 
First of all, I want to thank all of you who came to my show at Sassafras last weekend! I had a blast, met some really great people and had a fun time helping customers try on jewelry.
 
I want to let you all know some very exciting news: I will have my work in 3 new shops starting this week!

The first one is Sassafras in Belltown, where I had my show. Sassafras is a lovely little boutique with locally made handmade clothing, jewelry, and accessories. Some of the clothing is even made in house.

The second one is Fancy in downtown. Fancy is an incredible jewelry shop with handmade wearables and treasures.

The third one is Show Pony. They have 2 locations; one in Fremont and one at the airport in SeaTac. Show Pony has an amazing collection of clothing, jewelry, accessories, and home goods.

I'm so excited about these new locations and opportunities! Please go check out these shops if you can, and support small local businesses this holiday season. Buying handmade gifts from small businesses is so much more valuable than buying well known brands from huge stores because it supports artists like me, and business owners who nurture and support artistic communities. You can keep up-to-date on my current locations here.

Thanks and happy holidays!
