More Hy Jewelry

I made 4 new designs for Hy Jewelry, Light Geometry Collection. I'm loving their simplicity and their ease of wear. Light weight for all day wear and makes a fantastic layering necklace.

Gold and Silver Drop Necklace

Gold Circle Necklace

Honeycomb Necklace

Squares Cluster Necklace

I have a small collection of necklaces I designed at Hy Jewelry Etsy, just opened! I'm a graphic designer and rarely get to work with raw materials. Being able to touch, shape, and feel the metals was in a way frightening, since I can't hit a delete key, but at the same time liberating. There's no monitor between me and the material. I started the 2013 Light Geometric Series Collection soon after I left my full time job. This is my outlet to start something new and different. I'm learning as I go and crossing my fingers for something good. Thanks for reading and love to hear what you think.

Opening - delicate balance of weight and shapes - a small opening of
the silver diamond invites and entertains the possibilities. When you
find that right opening life opens up.

Balance - simple and delicate squared shape necklace balanced by two
gold hexagons. It’s designed to inspire balance and calm in
everyday wear.

Interaction - simple tension of the pull and balance between the strings
of gold chains and a circle, defining a dimension for the whole piece.
Meaning of a great friendship.

Light Fancy - gold and silver layered chains balanced by a gold wavy
charm. It’s light with touch of fancy to make a day little more special.

Flow - like flow of water two delicate gold and silver chains flow into a
diamond piece. Everyday is a effortless flow.

Centered - perfectly centered piece that brings balance and peace to a day.
Multifaceted gold hexagon adds playfulness to the piece.

Colorful Geometric Canvas Tote Bag Added!

Here's the latest product I added to Hello Maupoo Etsy shop. I've been searching for a new product to apply my design to and found a perfect item. I love the sturdy 100% cotton of canvas and its functionality. Can't wait to take it for a spin at a farmers market.

Chocolate Cream Puffs Anyone?

My husband and I visited little Tokyo on the westside for lunch and discovered Beard Papa's. When I walked into the Beard Papa's my heart skipped a beat from delight of giant cream puffs offered in so many unique flavors, like green tea and honey, and sweet potato. I ended up getting a classic chocolate cream puff that was delicious. Sure way to satisfy your sweet tooth.
