A Tiny, Superquick Survey + Another New Style!

Hello readers and jewelry aficionados! Two things for you today:

1) The Superquick Jewelry By Jessica Survey!

I wanted to invite you to take my tiny, superquick, 6-question survey about Jewelry By Jessica. Hopefully it will benefit all involved: you get to ask for what you'd like to see more or less of, and I get to do your bidding! Well, something like that : )

The 6-question survey is right here - it truly should take you about 3 or 4 minutes to complete. Anonymous is fine, but, for those of you who have online businesses too, there's a spot to leave your web address. As a thank you, I will either Tweet or blog about your work and your generous spirit!

2) New Constellation Earrings

"Another new style already!?" you may be asking? That's right - I am on a creative bender. The Constellation earrings in Ivory are available right now at my Etsy shop: www.jessicapoundstone.etsy.com. It's my first foray into offering kidney wire-style earring hooks. I have been wearing them around for days now, and I am so happy to report that they are super comfortable, super secure, and, like all of my jewelry, extremely lightweight. In fact, you might forget you're wearing it, except that everybody is gong to keep complimenting you on it : ) More colors to come soon - feel free to make a request!

Okay over and out: here's the link to the survey one more time before I go... http://bit.ly/3S3FH8

Two Treasuries! Seven Treasures Earrings and Flowering Stem Necklace Get Their Moment in the Sun...

What luck! I am currently featured in two Etsy Treasuries!

The first one is an in-your-face extravaganza of red and white awesomeness curated by jewelry designer Amy Singley of Adorn By Amy Singley. It features my Seven Treasures earrings in Crimson - which seem to be holding their own among Amy's very cool picks. 

The second one features a really lovely color palate of sky blue, lime, green and purple - and features the Treasury debut of my brand new design, Flowering Stem in Eggplant! (For now, available exclusively at my Etsy shop.) This one was put together by Dorothy Domingo, who is a woman of many, many talents - beader, quilter, ceramicist, and who knows what else! 

Thanks, Dorothy and Amy for featuring me! 

The Bright Side Project Features Jewelry By Jessica!

Well lookie there! The very cool The Bright Side Project website featured my work today! I'm superflattered to have my jewelry called "soothing, simple and just plain pretty" by The Bright Side Project's Miss B: that's a serious compliment in my book!  

Now go forth and enter to win a piece of Jewelry By Jessica via their site! All you need to do is answer the question "What's your favorite color combination, and why?" in the comments section of the post about my work, here. Also be sure to sign up for updates from their site, as there are giveaways each week. And also take a look back through the archives: the site is a treasure trove of  extremely awesome designers.

Thanks again, Bright Side folks!

My Other Etsy Store...Modern Beads

Did I forget to mention my other Etsy store here? Uh, guess so. I launched Modern Beads at Etsy a while back as a place for my "minimalist modern" bead and sterling silver earrings and necklaces. 

I developed a real love for beads. However I maintain my dislike for fussy bunches of beads. Just one or two at a time, please. Three tops. What developed was a minimalist modern look. I started with earrings, and all my friends seemed to love them. And I wear them all the time too. So I decided I needed to have a venue to give me the excuse to keep making them - and to keep my jewelry box from overflowing. I uploaded a few new pieces the other day - hope to get this store stocked up again for Spring soon!

By the way, I use mostly repurposed or thrifted beads for the pieces at Modern Beads, so each necklace or pair of earrings is extremely limited edition -- some are one-of-a-kind. If you want first dibs on new Modern Beads pieces, you can RSS the shop feed. Isn't that cool?
