Fion, Agnes, and Jemima

Every January, there is a draw for all of the previous year's online customers and the prize is $50 toward merchandise in the shop. There is no minimum purchase so the winner could get one or more items abssolutely free!

This year's winner is Fion Lau and she had two entries based on her purchases of the Agnes and Jemima earrings in August 2014. A big congrats to her for this win! Here is a look at the Agnes earrings she had chosen...

Original Jemima

As promised last time, here is the original design for the Jemima earrings:


In the meantime, things have been busy in the ARIA INDUSTRIES studio... Several pairs of earrings have already been made including the Iris, which features turquoise and capiz shells, and the Agnes earrings, which are even fancier than the Jemima. Stay tuned for some previews of the new pieces!

Sexy Jemima

I'm back from New York, the items purchased during the SPRINGISSPRUNG sale have been shipped, and twelve pairs of earrings have been newly added to the shop at aileen.etsy.com! One of my favourites is the Jemima and I will post some pictures of the original design next time.

Another pair of earrings

2012 has fully kicked in and I am currently working on a pair of chandelier earrings with findings I picked up during my Asia trip in the fall of 2011. The stones will be pyrite and turquoise (both purchased during my last stop at my favourite local bead store), along with teeny tiny faceted smoky quartz and hematite.
