Inspiration and Thoughts from 3 Weeks of Travel...

Important...Start every day off in Paris with a strong Espresso...or two!

How to best distill 3 weeks of non-stop travel, sights, inspiration, people, places and events?
Photo’s for a start….many stories to follow in future postings! btw...am I inspired? YES!!!

Paris has come and gone and it's the Big Apple now...New York City!

I know, I know...I said I would blog my way round' Paris! Well, that just didn't happen-and now it's day 4 in New York City. Way to much to tell at this point, but I promise lots of fun and interesting blog postings once I get back to Australia!
btw......
Indian summer...temps. in the high 70's and low 80's.....divine.
I get back home on Oct. 3rd...so keep your puters' pointed toward "Adornments of the Soul"
Til' then....
hugs and luv,
renee

First stop Paris.....

Walking out the door! Flight to Paris, by way of Singapore....no quick or easy way to get there from Australia....But worth it in the long run! Tune in for travel updates!

Sydney Jewellery Show-We had a grand ole' time!

We had a blast...sales were great and it's always fun to see our happy customers!
Now it's time to shift gears as we fly away for 3 weeks...
First stop Paris, then New York City and finally meeting up with my parents in San Francisco. All the while searching for new treasures to design with-One of the things I enjoy most in life.
Follow my moves, as I will make every effort to keep the blog up to date!

Sydney Jewellery Show...Here we come!

Tomorrow we fly to Sydney for our yearly JAA Jewellery Show. It's the "Best of the Best" of Jewellery shows and is open to the "trade" only....this is where Jewellery stores, galleries and the likes come to buy. I'm very excited! Four days of fun, friends, frenzy and o-yes sales!

Among the many new jewellery desgns I have on offer, will be a collection of pendants featuring Australian stones.
The pendant in the photo is Australian Rhodonite in the middle, with Siam Red Cubic Zirconia on the top and black Onyx on the bottom. Lovely!

Recently I entered two rings into the International Opal Jewellery Awards, a highly recognised international jewellery design competition. http://www.iojdaa.com.au/opal-jewellery-design-awards.html

The main criteria of this competition was the piece must include an opal, and I selected this stunning stone for it's intense colour and fantastic shape. I am thrilled to have been a finalist in this highly competitive competition, with the above ring which I called: "Blue Moon"...Sterling Silver, Bronze Fresh Water Pearls and the most amazing large blue Opal highlighted in 18kt. gold.
Very much a statement ring
