WOW, I wanted to thank everyone who participated to the Spellbound Jewelry party @ Wendy's, along with a very special "thank you" to Wendy who was the most gracious hostess ever.
I'm way beyond flattered and humbled by the enthusiasm you all showed for my jewelry.
It made me particularly happy everyone found something they "fell in love with" for themselves and/or as a present for their friends.
Knowing that out there someone is wearing my creations and feeling "one of a kind" special, unique and fabulous fulfills my dream.
GRAZIE

Buon anno a tutti!!!
Happy New Year to everyone!
How exciting it is to start a new year. We all get a clean slate, a fresh crisp blank page. It's time for renewal.
It's time for a new, better, stronger and more accessorized YOU.
Jewelry continues to be a popular accessory in 2009, and that fact is not likely to change anytime in the near future. The truth is that women love jewelry, and for the most part the more, the better.
YES! This year's trend is definitely about layers. Pass observed, make a statement.
Pearls are making a big splash. Whether they are worn in long loops or wrapped into a choker around the neck, pearls will be seen in abundance during 2009. While traditional ivory is still the most popular color of choice, I offer many other options to choose from. These include pale peach, pink, gold, champagne, bronze, chocolate, gray, and black. Big, chunky beads will continue to be worn well into 2009 and I have a wide selection to choose from along with vintage items. So go forth,visit my points of sale,or call me to set a one on one personalized shopping session. Purchase, have fun, look precious.
Aventurine is the stone of the month.
It is interesting that the name for this stone is derived from an accident. Sometime during the 18th century, Venetian glass workers were preparing molten glass when copper filings accidentally fell into the batch producing a glass with sparkles. The name Aventurine comes from the Italian "a ventura," which means"by chance".
Aventurine has been used as a lucky talisman and is a popular stone for gamblers.
Legends say that it is an all-purpose healer, used to reduce stress, develop confidence, imagination and improve prosperity. A legend from ancient Tibet says that Aventurine was used to improve nearsightedness and to increase the wearer's creativity.
Many believe that Aventurine has the capacity to calm a troubled spirit, bring about inner peace and enhance positive attitude.
Have a sparkling day!

Oh, oh, oh everybody! Joy to the world!
The Holidays Season has officially started. If you're looking for that one special present think outside the box, outside the malls and beyond the gift cards.
Be original!
Treat yourself as well to a gorgeous piece of handcrafted jewelry that will be unlike anything your friends, colleagues or relatives are wearing. Remember, each piece of SpellboundDesign jewelry is one of a kind, it’s made in America and you can wear it every day or for special occasions, each time looking Fabulous!
Pamper yourself and your loved ones today!
PS
If you wondered what happened to me, I'll tell you.
I've been on an intense artistic journey and have made some very special pieces I'm completely in love with that will make very magical presents.
I've also been commissioned to hand craft a set of earrings, necklace and bracelet in Amethyst and the result is lush, rich, precious.
Amethyst is an especially powerful stone, symbol of sincerity, security, and peace of mind.It protects, reduces negativity & brings spirituality.
In Italy we put it under our pillows to have a good night of sleep and fend off nightmares.
Tune in again soon, next time I'll tell you about Aventurine's vibrations and properties.
Have a sparkling day!

What a day!

Che giornata!!!
What a day!!!
It's past 7:30 and I can now rest comfortably and feed my 3 months old baby. All is done!
Tomorrow I'm hosting a birthday breakfast in honor of my husband, his father and his brother in law and I'm telling you, you may call me ambitious but this is how I roll:
I baked an organic, 2 layers, chocolate cake filled with Nutella (Italian hazelnut spread..to die for) covered with dark chocolate frosting and I prepared a french toast casserole to bake first thing in the morning. All this while I minded my baby, who wants to play constantly, did spinning for 30 minutes (25lbs of baby weight down and 20 to go) did 2 loads of laundry, sanitized the bathroom, made the bed with fresh linen, vacuumed the entire house, made hand-crafted Birthday cards for each one of them, gave my baby a bath, marketed my business to a couple of happening stores, drove to the dry cleaner, to CVS and finally got home to cook dinner:
roasted chicken, tossed in pesto served on a toasted onion roll with a side of organic lettuce tossed in a simple XVOO & white vinegar.
Oh, in the meantime I managed to throw on a very cool red wig and a long black dress to give out candies to the "trick or treaters"..all very super cute , by the way.
Hey, I know, I really didn't talk much about jewelry today but I will soon, because believe it or not, while I'm folding laundry and running around I'm day dreaming of what my next piece of jewelry will look like, what kind of stones will I use, what type of energy will I channel in it, always on the quest for one of a kind.
Now, my big baby (hubby) and my little baby are both asleep soI can go downstairs in my laboratory and create a new piece! AH AH AH AH Spoooky!
Happy Halloween everybody
Ciao for now!

I'm so super excited to finally have a web site for my jewelry and a blog where I can connect with all of you and tell you about my new ideas, inspirations and upcoming designs for new, fresh, fashionable, attractive, magical, one of a kind wearable art.

As you wear my jewelry you will find out that it casts a spell on you and on the people who will admire it. You will feel special, you will move differently, people will feel attracted to you and curious of where did you find that piece of jewelry...a great conversation starter, maybe even to sign the beginning of a new friendship.

Stay tuned and visit my enchanted world of creations.
