BESTeam Feature :: ck silver

I am continuing the trend of mother-daughter involvement in crafting this week presenting to you ck silver. I am starting to think that maybe I need to hit my Mom up for some collaborative help on my new (yet to be stocked) Etsy shop :) Until I use my persuasiveness for a little extra elbow grease lets learn more about the ladies behind ck silver!

Cindy and Marilyn, of Washington, work to create classic pieces of jewelry that you'll be proud to wear. Cindy finds inspiration from the beauty of nature with colors focused on the earth and ocean. Much like Cindy, Marilyn loves creating from the beauty God has created. Her love for wearing silver jewelry made creating silver jewelry a natural choice.

Collaboratively Cindy and Marilyn offer beautiful, timeless, and often times one-of-a-kind pieces. Sterling silver, freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals can be found in these elegant creations. And rest assured that the customer is priority number one; they will bend over backwards to satisfy. Customers are what keeps all of our shops going after all :)

BESTeam Feature :: Your Daily Jewels

I remember going to my brother's physical therapy sessions when we were younger. His therapist, a die-hard Cubs fan, would give my brother a prize at the end of the session as a reward. I clearly remember a white baseball card book with a letter 'C' in that lovely Cubbie blue. Maybe I remember it because this particular time I was fortunate enough to get a prize along with my brother just for being there. These prizes obviously made an impact which is why I immediately recalled this story when I read Your Daily Jewels profile.

Norah, a physical therapist from the east coast, began her jewelry creating when she needed a simple reward system for the children she works with. A story accompanied each creation detailing the significance of each bead and stone used. The rewards were a success and the birth of a new creative outlet began.

Don't think the story ends as a reward for her patients. You too can wear these gorgeous handmade, semiprecious, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. Each piece bursts with color that demands attention. Norah's aim is "to create modern, glamorous and affordable jewelry that women will be happy to wear everyday". I can't imagine any not being delighted to wear jewelry from Your Daily Jewels.

Here are some of my favorite pieces that can be found on Etsy

Teal Blue Fire Agate and Lemon Quartz Bracelet in Colors of the Shoreline


Antiqued Silver Flower Petal Pendant Necklace with Fresh Water Pearl Stamens
