Tale of the Lariat Necklaces

A brushed drop pendant adds shine to this leaf lariat..
Two little hearts connected by a dainty chain..

A royal pair up to a little black dress..

Silver Leaf Lariat

A touch of boho red with royal gold..

Apple green and silver makes for a wonderful spring necklace

Spring-summer fun lariat
I love designing and wearing lariat necklaces to a party or event - the modern dangling chain style with pendant really pulls off a chic and trendy look and makes your neck look even prettier. Lariats are great for accessorizing with a summer dress or wedding wear. Even a simple top with a V neck or a tube top can set off the lariat style so gracefully...which design is your favorite among these?

Strawberries, Champagne and Chocolates..

This February 14, I am planning to grab some yummy belgian chocolates, juicy strawberries and some frothy champagne to celebrate eight years of marriage with my wonderful husband..we might go to the SF city for a date night and then head home to watch a movie..and spend some wonderful time with my family of two - my husband and our pug.

Kulfi, our 4 yr old pug
I put together a Pinterest board (my recent addiction) with some great Valentine To-Dos and Must Haves that will make the day extra special! Let me know what you think..
Splurge this Valentines Day!

Did you know that candies, chocolates, discount gifts and diamonds are still hot and trending among shoppers this year? Interestingly, men are continuing to spend more than women which makes sense..most women expect something from their partners than vice versa.

February: Live a little and focus on your loves

As February dawns on me, I am focusing on the things I love the most, my favorite people, my passions in life, my hobbies. This is the month when I can go all out and pamper myself and the people most special in my heart. Sending sweet messages to my family and friends, gift wrapping cute goodies to kids and passing around valentines cards to one and all near to me.

I cherish all that life has offered to me, have a wonderful set of parents who let me dream and supported me in every pursuit of mine. I have a wonderful husband of 7 years who continues to be my best friend. My always there brother who I have always relied on. And our wonderful pug who knows only to love.

This is also the time on reflecting the goodwill of your heart, and realizing its importance, how you can develop positive thinking and actions of goodwill and charity and learn to love unconditionally. Keep negative feelings like remorse, jealousy, fear and violence in check and focus on giving, sharing, forgiving and loving. There is love all around me, I see it in the sun, the flowers, the birds nature and the sky.

Since I am a jewelry designer, I put together some of my favorite necklaces that evoke feelings tender into a collage. Which is your favorite?
