Greta's Birthday Gift Guide Part 3: Jewelry

Well, my birthday week is over, but I didn't get to finish my gift guides.

The word to best describe my life right now is: interrupted.

The days and nights got full--no time to blog.

As predicted, someone was sick on my birthday--2 someones.

But they were nice enough to save it for the tail end of my birthday, which allowed me to enjoy a surprise all day date with my husband.  

So even though the week is done, I still wanted to share this post with you because this is some of my favorite jewelry ever.

My husband is impressively good at buying me gifts I love.

I, on the other hand, am terrible at buying gifts for him.

He is very hard to shop for.

Maybe he should start a blog with the things he loves so I'll have lots of ideas to chose from.

It would help.

Anyway, a few years ago he bought me a bracelet by the jewelry designer, Ronni Kappos.

She makes her jewelry from vintage, glass beads.

It is modern, colorful, and really different from any other jewelry I have seen.

This Christmas, he bought me a necklace.

But having 2 of her pieces doesn't stop me from loving, OK and wanting, lots more of her pieces.

That's the sign of good design, right?

Here are a few favorites.

Isn't this necklace amazing?

The way she uses so many colors in one piece is perfect.

And the graphic simplicity of this design works so well.

I love it.

Of all her bracelet designs, this one is my favorite.

I love the flat beads and the rainbow effect of the colors.

It is unique, simple and really beautiful.

I don't have any of her earrings yet, but I think these ones are pretty perfect.

Red dots.  Love.

If you love this jewelry as much as I do, you'll want to take a look at these sites.

Ronni Kappo's site is here.

To look at or purchase her jewelry, you can go here, here or here.  (the last one is a great site for other stuff too--one of my favorite stores--online or their brick and mortar store in Los Angeles)

I'd love to know, who is you're favorite jewelry designer?  Do share the love.

And, although it's not a blog of his favorite things, my husband has a blog that's much better.

He's finally allowed me to share it with you, so please go visit Aaron's blog.

It's got all sorts of his art on it--leave a comment and tell him what you like.

Thanks!

Love from,

Greta
