Plant One on Me Necklace and Earrings

Photo credit: Joseph Saraceno

I'm a lover of plants and flowers. My camera roll is always full of photos of my nephews and then of plants and blossoms! I wanted to make some pieces that were leafy and fun yet could be worn in a very classy way. I mixed brass monstera leaves with semi-precious stones or little pearls for the Plant One on Me Necklace and Plant One on Me Earrings. Clockwise from the top, choose from pearl, sapphire, amethyst and green onyx.

Are you a plant lady too? For more on these pieces visit the website!

Sherrill and Filip's Wedding

With June upon us, we are in the height of wedding season! 

I've had the pleasure of working with some pretty stellar people lately!

Congrats to lovely newlyweds Sherrill and Filip on gettin' hitched! Sherrill had me when she mentioned Solange in discussing the jewellery and accessories for her destination wedding. I got a sense of her style right away after a quick chat when we first met. As we discussed and worked on our shared Pinterest board, we came up with some lovely ideas in brass with shiny clear crystal and pearl accents.

She chose a group of unique earrings for the bridal party as well as a custom necklace to go with her MoonRox earrings.

I added some little charms to the necklace with the initials of the bride and groom. 

The most fun was had making the series of light ethereal series of hair pieces. They are delicate and can be molded gently to sit perfectly. All of the pieces for the six women incorporated the same materials to tie everything and everyone together.

I was so very honoured to make some pieces for this special day!

Wishing the bride and groom a lifetime of love and happiness!

Flight of Fancy Series

Flight of Fancy Earrings and Necklace 

Flight of Fancy Lariat with Victory, Figment and Hex Earrings

Sometimes I get caught up in making big statement pieces. This was an extra little personal challenge to make these more soft and delicate jewellery designs! I brought these to the One of a Kind Show a couple weeks ago, and I love the response they got! Glad to hear that some of you like them as much as I do! The Flight of Fancy Necklace, Lariat and Earrings are made with dainty brass chain adorned with brass rods and charms. The same charms are used in the selection of earrings that go with! I've linked each piece in the photo captions above, so click through to see more photos and descriptions.

One of a Kind Spring 2018 wrap up

It's hard to believe it's already been a week since the One of a Kind Show finished up! The Spring edition always seems to fly by faster year by year!

Leading into the show, I had run myself ragged and was just getting over a little cold on set up day. Luckily I have the bestest of friends that always pull me through these days when I really need the extra help. My good friend K and I set up the booth and made it look beautiful! We had a chill day and slowly put the whole scene together. It's always nice to see everything on display. It's so rewarding to see each piece laid out with other designs from the same series, and not packed away neatly in bags and boxes.

On the first morning of the show, I always try to get there a little early as there are always small tasks to do to get our little home for the next few days looking just right.

I was running a little late and quickly scrambled from the parking lot to head into the building with several bags in tow and a triple espresso in hand. Having made my way across the road plus the streetcar tracks and just about to enter the building, I wondered if I had locked the car.. I always make fun of my Aunt as she doubles back to check if she locked her car 95% of the time. I rifled around all of my bags and pockets in search of the keys. Couldn't find them. Panic set in with the clock ticking closer to show opening time. With my eyes fixed on the car from across the way, I ambled back across the streetcar tracks and across the road. HOLY S*%T, the doors were unlocked and the keys were still in the ignition!? I couldn't believe how stupid I was to have almost given away my car to the next passerby to peek in the window! I was so relieved I had remembered to check before it was too late! I was laughing at myself as I locked the car three times beep beep beep, tucked the keys away and then repeated my steps and went for take 2 to get to the show.

As I crossed the tracks this time, there was a streetcar at the stop. The driver wasn't in his seat so I scampered across despite the do not walk sign. He then leaned to open the door and I attempted to signal that no, I was not looking to board the car. He actually didn't seem to think that I was. He shouted out the door at me. "Have a great day! Sell lots of jewellery!" I said thank you and wished him a great day also. Whaaaaat?! How did he know that I sell jewellery? I mentally checked myself up and down. I had a suitcase and bags and was bundled in my coat. I was not bearing any outside indication that I made or sold jewellery. I didn't recognize him and do not know anyone that drives a TTC streetcar. Maybe he knew me. Maybe he follows me on Instagram or has shopped from me before.

Any which way, that was super nice of him to wish me well and I took it as a positive omen/good vibes/a happy moment.

This is the Sicilian Bouquet Necklace on one of our favourite long time customers. She came in this stunning floral dress and somehow the necklace just seemed meant for her. It's still pretty chilly out for March and April, so I have been so pleased that customers have responded so well to this cheerful piece! Perhaps the more we wear flowers, we will inspire some real ones to pop up! This piece even got a mention on BlogTO!

The Show ran over Easter this year, and I was so happy to see so many of our loyal customers come to share the holiday with us. I know I say this every time, but I am so honoured that so many of you allow me to make some pretty things for you to take with you and make a part of your lives. Seeing our customers in person and catching up on the latest in your lives makes me so happy. 

Thank you to our amazing customers. You guys are the best ever and make all of these jewels come to life! Thank you to my fellow makers for the inspiration, moral support and chocolate eggs. Thanks to the team at the One of a Kind Show for always putting together an incredible event. Lastly, thanks to my friends and family for always supporting me both figuratively and literally holding me up! I have the most incredible friends and family that are always willing to lend a hand, whether it is tagging, prepping, moving, food delivery or tearing the whole thing down again.

Thank you all for making this yet another successful OOAK Show! I can't wait for the next one already! We had a great show, so maybe the TTC man put me in the right lane!

In the next few weeks, I'll share more Look Book images from the Spring/Summer Collection... and maybe I'll try to get up to some random adventures too!

New Collection for Spring/Summer 2018

Dot-to-Dot Pearl Series

I always thought of pearls as kind of old fashioned, but these days you can find freshwater pearls in so many interesting shapes. Got my hands on these lustrous flat disc like pearls and challenged myself to create pieces that were modern, dainty and still classy and lady like. As soon as I made the Dot-to-Dot Pearl Bracelet, I knew I had an instant personal favourite. I have been wearing my bracelet and Dotted Pearl Bauble Ring almost every day. The Dotted Pearl Earrings are pendulum style dangly earrings that pair well with any of the other pieces. For the Dot-to-Dot Pearl Necklace, I played with the linear quality of the fine chain between pearls and decided on a cool Y-style necklace.  The pearls have a beautiful sheen and each has a unique organic shape with some natural divots and character. These pieces are available in two colours -- Cloud and Oil Slick. For more photos and information on each piece, check out the website! Hope you like this series as much as I do!

Plume Collection

Plume Necklace and Plume Stud Earrings

Plume Bracelets

This is the Plume Collection. I love the hard/soft juxtaposition with the solid brass chain combined with tactile tassels. The Necklace and Bracelet were both made with a smooth sliding closure to adjust to your desired length. Each style comes in the 3 colour choices.

Bracelet of Hope Silent Auction

This is a special piece that was made for Bracelet of Hope, an organization aiming to help end the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Lesotho. Bracelet of Hope sent me a selection of these colourful wooden and fabric beads. They are handmade by HIV+ women in Lesotho. I had fun playing around with them and creating this piece with a signature MoonRox twist. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and hope that it will be well received.

It will be available for you to bid on at their silent auction tomorrow at the Women to Women event at Apartment 58 in Guelph, Ontario.

Have a lovely weekend friends!

Grace Necklace

(Above: Grace Necklace photographed by Joseph Saraceno.)

The short week we had flew by! Spent too much time enjoying the unexpected unbelievable spring-like weather, so spending some of this grey Saturday playing a little catch up.

I finally got ahold of some basic materials that I was waiting for for months. I can finish off some half finished pieces at last! Makes me feel like I accomplished a lot without actually doing a lot as the finished stock just got majorly amped up with these touches! 

Pictured above is the Grace Necklace. It's a lovely and elegant combination of coloured crystal beads and brass. It's a perfect piece to take from day to night. 

Hope you enjoy your weekend!

Thank you!

Still recovering after the One of a Kind Show! A huge amount of chaos remains post-show, but I have started shipping online and custom orders from the show. I'll work on the organizing later!

I wanted to express a huge, giant, enormous thank you to all of our incredible customers, top notch booth help, supportive family and friends, my amazing creative community and the fantastic hard working OOAK team for an amazing One of a Kind Show. Could not have pulled this off without all of these people holding me up! Another one is in the books!! Thank you! Thank you! ❤️

I was so happy to be back in the real world these past 2 days. You don't know how much you miss real food and daylight, util you spend two weeks in an exhibition hall. I already have a multitude of booth and jewellery ideas spinning through my head as I think ahead to next season and the next show. Can't wait! Feeling inspired after being surrounded by so much creativity. 

Now to catch up on a little sleep!

Thanks again for 16 great years at One of a Kind!

Blaze Choker

The One of a Kind Show is days away and I am in the midst of the usual last minute scramble to get everything sorted. I never seem to learn! Somehow it always comes together, so I should really calm down!

This is the Blaze Choker. It's one of my favourite pieces from this collection. Chokers have made such a huge comeback and I wanted to make one that was something you could wear every day as a wardrobe staple. This all brass piece features a beautiful art deco style pendant. I think it would look great at work and at play!

Hope to see you at the One of a Kind Show! It starts on Thursday and runs through December 4th. MoonRox will be in booth Y-04. It's the first booth in the last aisle, or the first booth in the first aisle, depending if you start at the right end!

To save on tickets, use coupon code ETCVT4HA when buying your tickets online.

Also, follow us on Instagram and Facebook for a Ticket Giveaway that will be announced later today.

Still many things to check off the To Do List. Off to work on some finishing touches!

See you soon!

MoonRox Collection for Fall/Winter 2016

(Photography by Joseph Saraceno.)

I've been waiting to share this! The new Collection of Fall/Winter 2016 is now up on the website! Check out the new pieces at www.moonrox.ca. I really hope you will like the new designs!

Pictured here are the New Rox Chokers. The original Rox Choker was one of my very first designs when I launched MoonRox way back in 1999. Some of you may remember it! It was a piece that really motivated the start of my business. I had spent my whole life making things. My hands were never idle and I was always creating or drawing. This was the piece that turned one of my hobbies and passions into an almost two decade long career. So I am very grateful to the Rox Choker, and I an super excited to bring a new updated version to you today.

Check out the rest of the collection online! I'll be sharing more photos of the new pieces (and more Italy travel diaries) in the upcoming days.

Lattice Bib Necklace

Sorry to have been MIA for so long! I have been busy enjoying the Summer and all that it has to offer. I'm sure I have repeated this a thousand times, but Summer is my absolute favourite. I've been trying to take every opportunity to get outside and maximize the season. I've got so many photos to share of my adventures but will save those for another time.

Here is the Lattice Bib Necklace. I've posted about the smaller version, the Lattice Necklace, previously. See the post here. This is the bigger, bolder, super pastel version! I've loved wearing this with a t-shirt or one of my easy loose dresses. You could also dress it up and wear it with a formal dress. Choose from mint, orange or pink!

We have a busy week ahead. It's late now, so better call it a night! Hope you have been enjoying the Summer as much as I have!
