* Recycle * Up-cycle * Re-Purpose * Re-Design *

…call it what you will -- It’s a form of creativity no matter what the material is, where it’s been, how you got it!  Most important is what you are doing with ‘things’ you’re holding on to. Do they make you feel good when you see them or wear them?  If not, get creative!

READ ON: The Story of Carved Conch Shell Roses earrings transformed to a one of a kind ZEN Wrap®

My latest re-design or up-cycled design was crafted together with the lovely, Jasmine. She had a pair of beautiful rose shape conch flower earrings that she wanted to redesign. 

Before: Conch Shell Earrings

At first all I knew was Jasmine wanted to add a classic round conch shell bead to a pair of sterling conch earrings.  I had no idea the FUN that was in store that Saturday afternoon.

When I saw these gorgeously carved conch shell roses she wanted removed from the earrings, my first inclination was these little treasures MUST be crafted into something better than ever!!

… what about a simple pendant? 

… what about this, what about that?

… then Jasmine, says “how about a ZEN Wrap”?

… DING DING DING!!! That was it.  Off we went on a custom design. 

Raw Design Components for ZEN Wrap ®

She instantly knew she wanted an OM charm on there, a strong representation of serenity and grace. Conch symbolizes clarity and growth in new endeavors.  Finally, we added the ultimate feminine gem, iridescent rainbow Moonstone.

This wrap embodies the true essence of Jasmine, her name is a flower, she loves flowers and now she has redesigned her beautiful rose conch earrings into a true treasure that is one-of-a-kind and 100% unique.

I thank my co-designer and creative visionary for this experience.  I absolutely love one-on-one work and designing with my clients.
