I have been diligently working for the last 6 weeks on a new expansion in our jewelry section. It has been no easy task and has taken a considerable amount longer than I expected to have these juicy pieces ready to adorn the necks, arms and ears of my faithful fashionistas. I have teased, tempted and shared tiny little tidbits of what is now our new Juicy Jewelry line.
Gypsy Rose is all into the recycle, repurposed and upcycling of items that others see no beauty in anymore. I love fresh squeezed OJ in the morning and in the occasional cocktail. What to do with all those leftover peels? Get Creative!
We have all heard that Vitamin C is good for you, let me tell you, it also looks great in jewelry! The peel is carefully separated from the squeezed fruit, cut and/or rolled into whatever shape I envision, dried and then hand painted. Every slice is cleaned and cured to prevent fungus or discoloration. The paint used in this process is a non toxic vegetable dye. Once the paint dries, a high gloss finish is used to preserve each jewelry creation it and beautify it. Not only do they look super juicy and bursting with color but each item has a slightly citrus scent that will remind you of fun, sunny Florida days.
I have chosen vibrant juicy colors of lime, orange, yellow, turquoise, fuchsia, purple and bold red. The necklaces are all names after famous Florida destination like Boca Blooms, Captiva, Sanibel, Anastasia, Captiva and Anna Marie. I have focused on necklaces and earrings for now but look for bracelets to be added into the mix in the near future.
Enjoy the pics…I will be debuting these tonight for the first time at Mulligan’s Sunset Stroll at 4:30 pm today in Vero Beach.
