These earrings reminded me of Creme Brulee. I thought I'd share a pic with you, who doesn't like looking at photos of food! Dita was kind enough to let me use her photo. She mentioned her dessert was slightly burnt, which resembles my earrings more. That's the way I like it! The closest to Creme Brulee that I've made is flan, haha!

I've loved paper and wrapping ever since I was younger. One of my first projects as a teen was recovering jewelry boxes with pretty paper. I've done it again, now with thicker scrap-booking quality paper. Each custom covered box is one-of-a-kind. The edges are clean and perfect, you'd never know I did this. This particular pattern has raised glitter details. Great for birthdays or anniversaries. I've finished it off with a wide Grey grosgrain ribbon. If you want this or something like this, let me know!

Moon Prism Power, Pearls

Inspired by Michelle Phan's video, I started thinking about Sailor Moon again. I used to watch it when I was younger, and I even collected trading cards. So since I love Serena (Usagi) and her pals I wanted to make this necklace! This is my little take on it.

I've also extended my free shipping sale on necklaces til the end of today because I meant to post this necklace up sooner.

Sailor Moon Necklace - reg. $27 - Sale $23 - Free shipping ends next week.
Moon Prism Power! Lt. Topaz (yellow) moon pendant (20mm) with a light cream pearl and small red heart. The pearl represents her odangos, and I added a heart since she is the "champion of love and justice." Sterling Silver bails and chain. 16 or 18" available. Swarovski crystals. See in my store here.

She is so cute! I love Luna too! This is my second necklace with pearls and my first moon necklace. Maybe more to come? I only have one of these Sailor Moon necklaces!!

Rock Diva Earrings - $15
Since I posted some pearl necklaces, I thought it would be a good time to feature these earrings I put together awhile back. My first dangle pearl earrings. These were a little tricky to make, but I had some wire and I was feeling inspired to make these. They are 10mm Dark Purple Swarovski Pearls with sterling silver chains draping below. Sterling Silver ear wires. Only one in my shop!

Anyhow, who was your favorite Sailor Moon character? My favorite was Sailor Jupiter!

Small Heart Necklaces - $18
Also, by request I introduce Small Heart Necklaces. Obviously there is no chain in this photo, but of course there will be one. Your choice of 15", 16" or 18" Length. The 10mm swarovski heart is the smallest offered. I have 4 bail options for now. My favorite is the wrapped bail. My least is the leaf, it's a little too big. (only one of those) It's hard to find a good bail for these small hearts! Below are color options for the 10mm size heart only.

do be do.. time to eat!

Little Golden Leaves

Little Golden Leaves Necklace - $19
This gold plated asymmetrical necklace features little, slender, gold leaf cutouts. Accented by jet black heart and round shaped Swarovski crystals. I didn't plan on making it asymmetrical. It was an accident, so I just worked with it. I think it makes it a little more special. 18" long. These leaves are smaller than the Matching Earrings here.

Tell me, have the leaves started changing color where you live yet? Mine have not! I love leaves!

Simply Love Me Heart Necklace - Reg $20, $18 SALE
This is a popular Swarovski color. It's been called Heliotrope, Helio, Titanic, and Deep Blue Sea, and it's all the same. It's a beautiful mix of blues and purples. Single Swarovski 14mm heart on a 16" or 18" sterling silver chain. See more colors here. Sale ends Nov 19.

Holiday Lights

Now that Halloween is over, I'm bring out the holiday jewels! I saw a tutorial for these funny looking tree light earrings. I walked around the container store today, it got me in the spirit! Holiday wrapping everywhere!

Holiday Lights - $15
Sapphire and Rose Swarovski crystals topped with a rhinestone rondelle and sterling silver bead. Hangs on sterling silver ear wires. Stud alternative available. 1 for $15 or 2 for $26

So another thing I love to do is wrap presents! In addition to the jewelry box wrapped with aqua ribbon that you get with every jewelry piece, I will be offering holiday wrapping for an additional $5/order. I have additional boxes that I will wrap with paper and tie a bow onto. Then that will be placed in another box for shipping. The $5 includes the extra shipping charge. Contact me for details. I may update this post with examples. I don't like to boast, but my gift wrapping skills are stellar!

imperfection sale!

I ordered some ear threads and one of them was a hair longer than the other! Anyhow, I wanted to offer these up on sale incase it doesn't bother you guys. You can't tell when you're wearing it on either side of your head! But knowing it, I can't offer it at full price if it is not perfect!

I just wanted to throw this out there before it gets crazy tonight. Happy Halloween everybody!

Purple Teardrops on Ear Threads - $16 SALE, orig $20
FREE SHIPPING!
The swarovski crystals are perfect and purple though! If you notice, the threads have a U shape to keep them in place!! They are the most expensive ear wires I've ever offered!
13mm. Sterling Silver.

Make a wish, Origami Fever!

Introducing the Crane Necklace. I love origami. I have ever since I was little. Something about folding perfect creases. When I got this crane bead I just couldn't wait to make it into a necklace! This is a special bead imported from Asia. The gold is tarnish resistant gold plated, and the silver is tarnish resistant rhodium plated. That applies to the chain as well. It's safe for people with sensitive skin.

Crane Necklace in Gold with Pacific Opal AB - reg. $20 - Sale $18*
The origami inspired crane pendant is plated in a gold matte finish. It is accented with a Swarovski crystal or pearl of your choice. The necklace chain can be 16"-18" with an optional 3" extender. Lobster clasp with JJ tag included. You can't see it now, but there may be a small bead added to the bottom for extra security!

Shown here with a pretty white pearl. Some will come with a tag. I hand-stamped gold and rhodium plated oval beads to match.
Even though it is plated metal, I don't feel like it takes a back seat to sterling at all. Truthfully I prefer rhodium to sterling silver. I don't like how sterling tarnishes, and it can't be on display all of the time. I have to keep it zipped up in baggies. I really like the rhodium. The color is similar to white gold's silver color.

This is my baby sister modeling the 16" Crane Necklace in gold. She looks a lot older in the photo with the makeup like it is. How old does she look? She's only 17!


Whoa, look at all the color options! I only have 4 gold cranes and 4 silver cranes in stock right now. These are the only colors I have available. I only have one bead of most colors. Click image for a closer look. *The price will go up to $20 once everything is sold out.

Oh my gosh, doing this color chart was so much work! But I know it helps you visualize. :) These would make cute earrings too, but I'm only doing necklaces right now. Perhaps on the next round if there is interest.

Tag, you're it! Simple Sale

Introducing tags! Say hello to tags. Hi tags! Any necklace made by me will include a cute little hand-stamped tag. It's only available on Sterling Silver right now. I decided to go with JJ for Julu Jewelry, not juju. It was either JJ, JL or JLJ. Sometimes I don't stamp the J's aligned perfectly.. sorry for that. It's not easy. I like it though because I get to use a hammer! If I practice maybe I can fit Julu on there...

Just in case you didn't think I made these...
