Solstice

When you walk into Solstice, you are taken into a peaceful winter wonderland. 

The experience is one of a kind. The energy in the room is amazingly calming. 

These artists have a gift to transform a space into such a quiet and inspiring place.

Birds are chirping and you can't help but want to stay for a very long time. 

Every tiny detail is magical.

 

This amazing Art installation was created by Saori, Yanuary Navarro, and Gregory Dirr along with many other artists. It is completely made of recycled materials. And it is beautiful! 

It will only be up through Saturday and then a new Art Installation will be up by January 14th! If you haven't already, you must stop by Olio Gallery on Saturday!!!

Recent work:Turquoise, Labradorite, and Flowers

I love Turquoise and Labradorite. 

Turquoise reminds me of the Southwest and my time living there. 

I love the beautiful colors of each stone. 

Each one is so unique. The stones look like mini landscapes.

And the Labradorite just seems magical with it's flash of color. 

I created a vine to wrap around the stone. The setting is completely made by hand with sterling and fine silver. I placed one small blossom on it's side. 

In Japan cherry blossoms are held in the highest esteem. As the season of cherry blossoms blooming are so short, cherry blossoms represent the beautiful, but transient nature of our lives.

Wear this tiny blossom to remind you of what is important to you in your world and to take the time to look at the flowers.

This necklace I made for a lady to represent her four daughters. 

I just love that she wanted four little daisies all in a row.

This is one of my favorite custom pieces.

And this necklace is a simple cherry blossom necklace.

Earrings to match.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

The Blossom Necklace and Earrings are already listed and I will work on getting the Labradorite Ring listed soon. 

The Turquoise Ring and the Four Daisies Necklace were custom pieces and something similar could be made.

Thank you so much for looking! Have a wonderful weekend!

Good Morning! My friend Jennifer of Eve-n-Odd Gallery encouraged me to make a QR code and stickers to hand out for a Social Media event tonight at the Dali Museum! 

I finally did it. When you scan it, it takes you to my Kathryn Cole Jewelry facebook page. Making the code was simple, but formating it for my stickers took a little while to figure out. I did it and now I have little round stickers to put on packages and business cards, ect and to give out tonight at the event. I'll take lots of pictures tonight of the event.

Have you made a QR code yet? I would love ideas on how to use these more.

Have a wonderful day! 

XOXO, Kathryn
