Happy Holidays everyone...

So off we go into a new year.  Wow, 2008 went by quickly!.  Now might be a good time to reflect on the things that brings joy to your heart... your beliefs, family, friends, our wonderful country.  Time slips by ever so quickly.  Shrug off the differences.  Truly contribute to peace on earth.  Grab hold of each moment and make a difference with it...  Let's make it better in 2009.

I'm proud to offer a truly authentic and exquisite eco chic line of handcrafted jewelry that is created, by hand, with glass, semi-precious and vintage findings that's fashion forward... My designs embrace, and many highlight, classic, antique or funky vintage buttons and findings. 

The thing that really distinguishes my line of handcrafted jewelry is the knotting.  I could never just string a strand and be done with it.   I take the time to create elaborate knot patterns through intricate hand-knotting and hand-crocheting.  I didn't find them in a book, or copy other's ideas: I learned them from my Yia Yia (my Greek grandmother).  Texture and dimension.  Originality.  Authenticity.  I think you'll find it here.

 After one look, you'll be able to recognize the difference of on u jewelry.  When you wrap one of my designs around your wrist, or neck, or even your ankle, you'll easily see how good it looks on you (or, is that on u?!). 

I honestly wish that I could show everything on the web site.  I honestly do.  But there are just so many new concepts and designs that it may be best if you stop by the Studio or visit me at one of my upcoming shows to get the full impact.  We'll keep adding new items, so come back often.  Please don't ever hesitate to call me to ask me what's new or what's on the horizon...

We think that it's great how everyone is running around with reusable bags and trying to cut down on all sorts of items destined for landfills.  Please don't stop!  However, it's something that we've been doing all of our lives...and certainly since the beginning of on u jewelry in 1991 - reusing, recycling, and reinventing ways to take advantage of what life has to offer...  Simply look for the ECO CHIC logo.  It will help you to narrow down those items that I create with a minimum of 95% recycled, reused or natural products. 

 Please support the really great shops and boutiques throughout the country that carry the line.  We only work with a handful of stores that we adore our relationships with.  We're not in to being too big... because that wouldn't allow us the time to do what we do best... Creating sensational jewelry that makes you feel, and look, your best.

I'm happy to mention that Stefanie Graf visited the Studio again this fall...  She picked out quite a few things for herself and took home one very special design for a good friend...   I am also proud to say that Sheryl Crow is also an owner of an on u necklace and earrings.

Keep an eye out for our profile being featured on Comcast's On Demand "Best Of the City".  It's being featured through mid-March.

Feel free to join the Mailing List to receive special offers by email and snail mail (it's totally Opt-In and there's no way that we'll ever share your address with anyone).  I'll also notify you of my show and studio schedule, plus any special events that are on the rise.

If you like what you see, please pass my web site address along to your friends and family.  Know of a show or have an idea or recommendation on how to make the on u jewelry site better?  Drop us a line, we'd love to hear from you!
