Did you know?

Look at all the detail in these pieces!    Okay.... so I didn't get it when I first got introduced to Sara Blaine jewelry!   Did you know that each piece is hand crafted.... (Yes... crafted by artisans and made by hand)   

As someone who appreciates ART and DESIGN I appreciate the creativity it took to create the concept for these pieces.... and the hand work that it takes to literally make each piece from hand!   It's crazy!  

The use of solid metals like brass and bronze and silver to the hand cut stones and the detailed chain, you'll really be amazed! 

Until I started selling Sara Blaine Jewelry with Willow House, I thought jewelry was jewelry.   I did know the difference between FINE jewelry and Costume jewelry but I really didn't get "designer" although if someone said something to me...I probably could have figured it out. 

I guess I am somewhat of a jewelry snob now.... Which I didn't intend to be but it happened because I kept picking up jewelry in stores and noticing the components were lightweight metals, plastics, or glass... and people were charging a lot for it!    

I just had to share all this because I didn't know what I was selling when I was first introduced to it.... and now, I am IN LOVE with it!    Wearing the right pieces of jewelry can totally finish a look.    Coming from an interior design background, I will relate this to window treatments.    The window obviously needs to be finished to complete the room decor but window treatments come in many forms.   You can cover a window with curtains from the local Walmart or Target or you can dress a window with something a little better.... something from Bed Bath and Beyond or even Pottery Barn... or you can choose some fabrics and have someone make treatments for your windows.    Obviously, custom - handmade window treatments are the high end and they truly make a room look rich!    

Wearing nicely made jewelry can do the same thing for you!  You will feel finished and people will notice what you are wearing,  not just that you are wearing jewelry,  but they will actually compliment you on it!   So, whether you like to dress for the occasion or you want to dress for success, you'll appreciate wearing beautiful timeless jewelry!    

I'm just giddy about it and I wanted to share my journey of discovery with you.  When I am passionate about something... I have to tell everyone! :)
