2014 has been an incredible year for me as I see my handmade line flourish and more of my ideas coming to life. Not only that, but this marks my third major press feature. This time it is Harper's BAZAAR edition and their favorite picks for this Fall/Winter. This features my lapis lazuli teardrop necklace which is one of my favorite creations because it truly reflects my Egyptian heritage.
My Latest Creation - Amethyst and Bronze Glass Pendant Necklace
As I was out handpicking my beads in New York, I came across these glass beads. So unique and different, something I have never seen. Each bead has a coppery/bronze outline with a double sided triangle center filled with an amethyst color. It adds such a unique touch to any outfit you want to wear. I decided to create a pendant necklace with these beads and as I took my new piece out for a test drive last week, it was such a hit and received many compliments. Now, reassured of the design and look, it is here for you to own while supplies last.
Affordable Looks for the Everyday Fashionista - Weekend Edition
Another weekend is upon us ladies, but that doesn't mean we have to opt for the sweats to feel comfortable. Try an outfit like this one to give you that relaxed and easy look yet effortless chic in the same time. I always say that jewelry can make an outfit go from boring to chic and even glamorous and this is exactly how. Everyone owns a white tee and some skinny denim at this point (if not, go get one!). Add a chunky chained pendant necklace like this African jade handmade piece from my line along with some skinny bangles and sandals to complete your look...Your welcome.
