New Necklaces & An Interview!

As you can see, I finally made another necklace in the same style as the one that sold almost instantly last week! That one was in greens and white, and this one is similar, but with blue. It's made using carved Lapis Lazuli stones--Lapis is another one of my favorite gemstones. There's something really elegant and special about the stone--the blue is so bright and bold, and it sometimes looks like it's swirled with gold, because of the pyrite that is sometimes in the stone. So pretty and interesting to look at! Good quality lapis lazuli is really expensive to buy, so I don't usually use too much of it in my designs--lately though, I keep finding stones that I just have to have. You can see the two necklaces that have resulted on this page! There are more pictures of both on my website, so check out imprintbyeileen.com if you want to see more...

I love this second necklace too. I kind of really don't want to sell it, but if the right person sees it on Etsy and feels like they have to have it, then I will feel good about it sending it to its new home! I went back to the store where I bought these stones yesterday, but they don't have any more. So this very well may be the one and only of its kind! I did find some other beautiful stones while I was out shopping though, so more jewelry will be coming to my website soon....

Also! I did an interview about my business with the lovely Eliza Gale earlier this week. You can read that interview HERE, if you'd like to learn more about me and my company! I really can't believe that I'm less than a month away from celebrating my one year anniversary in business. If you'd told me a year ago that I would have a store and be running my company full time, I would have thought you were crazy. It is funny how life works! And fun too, because you never know what's coming next....
