A Taste of Spring

Well, we always get small tastes of spring here in Chicago as we get closer to March, April and May. Just this past week we had heavy rain, mid 50 temperatures and thunderstorms yet by evening we were back to snow flurries and bitter cold temperatures. It is so true what they say about weather in Chicago "If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes and it will change." We have been known to get snow accumulation in April and occasionally in early May too. But no matter, the first signs of those spring bulb (crocus, tulips and daffodils) that start peeking out of the gound as the weather warms. Every taste of warm temperatures brings out the basketballs, bicycles, scooters and muddy kids and dogs tracking through the house.

No matter the weather outside, I am thinking spring with some new jewerly designs combining sterling silver accented with colorful gemstone rondelles that remind me of the beauty of spring and summer soon to come. I have combined some stamped design pieces with these gemstones too for some totally unique one of a kind pieces.
