Never a Dull Moment


Moonlight shining on a beautiful Tarpon fish in the warm Pacific Ocean is what I think of when I see our new charcoal drusy quartz pendants paired with our opalescent freshwater pearl necklaces.



My dad and I went scuba diving with a  school of Tarpon when we vacationing in Fiji and I remember being absolutely memorized by the fluidity of the Tarpon’s movements and the silvery beauty of their scales.

Inspired by the ocean, this new collection has a wonderfully chic organic quality and features 4 special drusy quartz colors that we had specially made for us to perfectly pair with the opalescence of the freshwater pearls in this collection.

A View of Greece


After spending a week in the Bodrum penninsula in Turkey, we took a boat over to the Greek island of Kos.  These were the final days of our trip and it was such a treat to fill our days with varying degrees of lounging coupled with a bit of history.  Kos is famous for being the home of Hippocrates and we had the opportunity to visit the timeworn tree that Hippocrates used to instruct his students under.

Here is a sampling of my favorite snapshots.

The most magical bougainvillea I have ever seen…

A Glimpse of the Aegean Coast–Bodrum, Turkey.


Here are a few of my favorite images from Bodrum on the Aegean Coast……a week of exploring local villages by moped, swimming and basking in the sun and getting into the spirit of total relaxation.

Reflections on Istanbul


It is hard to believe that we are already back from our adventures…..it was a truly magical two weeks.   Robbie and I had the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation, a week in Istanbul and the rest of the trip split between the Turkish Aegean Coast and Greece.  I have so much I want to share….so this will be part one of three…..let’s start with Istanbul.
