Hello all!
Man, today has been tricky! But, I have some good news to share. I want to introduce a couple of new pieces of jewelry, that I've just listed on
Hieropice on Etsy! Hematite Chevron Earrings, and Hematite Chevron Lariat Necklace, by Hieropice.

Chevrons, like owls, putting birds on things (see
Portlandia),
mustaches; all have been trending at one time or another. I tend to
pretty much ignore trends unless something about them resonates with me
personally, and I have to say, there is something about the chevron.
It's just an alluring shape, whether just in its fascinating geometry,
or its infinite changeability when modified in color and repetition.
And hematite, a semiprecious
stone with an inky-black mercurial surface, and sometimes, magnetic
properties, is one of my favorites. I love using it in jewelry; it's
mysterious and classic, and perfect for jewelry you
can wear with anything. I'm one of those people who often thinks, just
as I'm about to leave the house, "I don't have any jewelry on!" and
then runs back to find some to wear. These new pieces have become my
go-to(s), because they match absolutely everything. And I truly
appreciate not having to think to deeply about what to wear!

I'm also introducing
jewelry sets,
by Hieropice. I know many of us like to wear pieces of jewelry
together that reference eachother, without, of course, being too
"matchy-matchy." I have no idea who coined the term "matchy-matchy,"
maybe Oprah? Or Stacy and Clinton from "
What Not to Wear."
But anyway, it occurred to me that it'd be easier to purchase Hieropice
pieces that go together in one-fell-swoop, particularly when you're
shopping for gifts for folks you love. So, Hieropice now offers sets of
earrings and necklaces, to be worn together (or separately, if you
want!), and you can find them in "
Jewelry Sets" on
Hieropice on Etsy. The sets are less expensive than purchasing both pieces separately, because I love ya' and want to make your life easier.
And finally,
Hieropice will continue to be a featured artist at
Uni-T at the
Natick Mall for the month of June, and I just added a bunch of new pieces there, including many you can't get online yet. So check it out!

Cheers!
