M is for Metal

I'm still blogging the alphabet and now we're at the halfway point: M!  M is for Metal.  Metal doesn't have to be hard and masculine.  Metals can be worn and displayed in pretty, fashionable, feminine ways.

Here are some of my Etsy listings that use metal.  I'm a lover of metal, so this is only a taste...

J is for Jade

Oh, my!  Sadly, I've been neglecting my blog.  Let's get to it!

Continuing with the theme of blogging the alphabet, here we are at the letter J.  J is for jade.  Jade is a beautiful stone of many shades that has been used for both utilitarian and ornamental purposes throughout history.  Here I will focus on the ornamental.

Here are a few of the listings I've made that showcase jade.  For these pieces, I've used olive jade.
