I have connected with The Blue Crab Bay Company for an incredible collection of gifts from the sea. They have the most wonderful "vegetable-based glycerin sea scented soaps which are handcrafted on premise using natural seaweed from our coastal marshes". Be sure to check out their website at www.bluecrabbay.com 5/5/2009 - Coral collection My fabulous new coral collection is a big success. These gold and silver coral designs are made into cuff and link bracelets, rings, earrings, and neck pieces. I have featured the pieces at all my retail shows. With the addition of diamonds, South Sea Golden and Tahitian Black pearls to the pieces, it is a very dramatic new collection. 9/12/2008 - Seahorse diamond engagement ring I have just finished some wonderful new pieces; one of which is a fabulous ring in 14k gold with 4 seahorses holding a magnificent 2ct Namibian blue tourmaline and accented by 4 beautiful brilliant cut round diamonds with a .40ct TW. This one of a kind piece would make a very unusual engagement ring. 5/2/2009 - Wedding Rings Expanding upon my popular "comfort-fit" wave design gold ring, I have introduced a man's 7mm wedding ring that is the wave ring in 14k yellow gold with a 14k white gold wire accent. It has both the buff and high polish in the finish, is very elegant, and has the easy to wear "comfort fit" which men really appreciate. Just completed are the Nautical Reef wedding bands are in 14k, 18k white and yellow gold and sterling silver in "comfort fit". A choice of diamonds and other stones, and wonderful reef animals - fish, shells, turtles, starfish, and scrolls are all available for sea and ocean lovers. I also offer a free engraving service on the inside of the ring, if the wearer would like their initials and the date. 5/1/2009 - Ordering Policy Your satisfaction is very important to me and I stand behind all my work 100%.
