I'm excited to announce that I've just entered a new arena on Etsy. I am now offering vintage jewelry and other vintage accessories on my Etsy shop. I absolutely love going on the hunt for vintage treasures and now I can share my finds with others. Take a look at www.nicoalexanderjewelry.com to see what I have so far. I plan on continually adding more items.

My Spring Fever Earrings were included on the 'Inspired by Etsy' Blog! Thanks Andrea!

Dawn Beach Bracelet

Ahhhh, Dawn Beach. My very first trip to the Caribbean. Dawn Beach is located on St. Maartens Island. What a beautiful place. This bracelet reminds me of the beauty of the pristine white sand and the clear blue/green waters. I made this bracelet with sterling silver chain, snow white jade, and aquamarine rondelles.

Spring 2009 Pantone Fashion Color Report

Pantone is the world-renowned authority on color. The PANTONE FASHION + HOME Color System is a vital tool for designers in the apparel, home furnishings and interior design industries for selecting and specifying color used in the manufacture of textiles and fashion. Here is Pantone's Spring 2009 Fashion Color Report. These are the hot colors for the season. They come out with these reports every Fall and Spring. Look for the next report coming in a couple of months.

Pearl Charm Bracelet

I just made this beautiful, fun, and kinda funky pearl charm bracelet. It's made from cultured pearls. Although they're not perfectly shaped like the Swarovski pearls are, the color and luster of real pearls can't be beat. The slight irregularity of the pearls add character.

My First Wedding Jewelry

This is my very first bridal jewelry. Yikes! I was pretty nervous about it. I know, from being a bride myself, that only perfection is expected for one of the most important days of your life. I brought it to the customer on Friday and she loved it. Yay! I have to say, it turned out beautiful and looks even more stunning in person.

Here is my newest creation. I found this butterfly charm at a yard sale! I was so excited when I found it. I love the vintage look of the necklace with the brass and the antique colors.
