It’s January. The calendar just flipped to a new year. This always makes me get a little dreamy. I dream about what will be in the months to come. I dream about all the goodness to happen. I dream about where I want to be in my life. I think about the 12 months I have before me to reach my new goals and make things happen. This always seems a good time to me to have fun with my wardrobe too. I like to buy something might not wear to the office … something just for me that reminds me the whole year to keep dreaming.

Summer Splash Earrings
Cynthia Jones Jewelry strives to achieve an understated sophistication with pieces such as her most basic teardrop earring. Weight plays a major part in the design process. Keeping her pieces as light as possible, Cynthia ensures that in addition to being visually simple, they take on an effortlessly light form. The occasional use of colored stones (jaspers, jade, labdorite, moss agate, carnelian) helps women to accent their wardrobe with deep purples, pale greens and rich ambers. Ignoring trends, Cynthia creates contemporary, handcrafted jewelry that is timelessly modern, and appropriate for any occasion.

Even after all these years, the process of carving still fascinates me. It’s mysterious in a way that only something so simple can be. In essence, you just take away the material that doesn’t belong, then stop when you see the shape you want: ta-daaa. But of course there’s more to it than that. I love the tools and the tricks and the physical challenge, and I still get chills from the notion of extricating one form from inside another.
