WE HAVE CLIPS!


Did you know that we have our own STARSONG jewelry collection? Designed and made right here at the gallery, we have incredible pieces! Necklaces, pendants, bracelets and earrings all unique and in a vast color spectrum of gem stone beads and pearls. We currently have the largest selection we have ever had. I wanted to let you know that we also have a great variety of STARSONG clip earrings. Clips are not always easy to find, and almost everyone has someone on their gift giving list that likes those "elusive" clip earrings. Now you know where to find them!

It's not too early to start your holiday shopping!

HEARTFELT MOMENTS...


Last week Miriam Mayo brought in some of her old jewelry. Amongst her treasures was a blue glass necklace, a rather insignificant piece compared to the others. The beads were beautiful, but the silk cord stringing it together had become very frayed and was showing it's 40 year age. Miriam had inherited the piece from an aunt who had once traveled the world and probably had picked up the piece in another country. She admitted that she loved it for its color and sentimental value, but never wore it anymore. Star suggested that we restyle it into a wearable necklace. We took the single strand and made it into a shorter two strand piece. Interspersing it with small fresh water pearls and adding a complementary toggle clasp, it took on whole new life! We even had two beads left and made a pair of matching earrings.

This is a picture of Miriam taken just before she left here this afternoon wearing her "new" jewelry. I felt touched as she expressed her double delight, loving the new piece and enjoying the fond memories of her aunt.
