ShaynaB Style

I just wanted to share with you a comment written by the latest winner of our “Name That Jewelry” contest. Visit our jewelry store online and join in the fun and you too can win at naming the jewelry!

My Mom and I have both been huge fans of Shayna B Jewelry designs since our first private showing at a friend’s house 2 years ago. The high quality of the stones used compliments the unique value that we have yet to find anywhere else. When searching for the name of the Amazonite and Amethyst Necklace, my Mom and I felt that the necklace promotes kindness and practicality. We decided that Ascending Hope was the perfect name. We were so excited when we won the naming contest; and we have agreed to share the necklace. I think this is a lucky necklace for all of our hopes and dreams. Thank you Shayna for sharing your designs with the world!

Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are… you know how it goes.  Maybe it has been a few years since the last time that you have said it out loud or even thought about it.  But I know the idea of making a wish and having that wish come true continues in adult life even without the nursery rhyme.

The creation of “Twinkle Twinkle” came with just that idea in mind:  that you put on this spectacular creation of peridot, shiny silver, and Swarovski crystals with a twinkling peridot and marquisite centerpiece and make all of your wishes for the day come true.

Making something happen isn’t just about wishing for it, it has a lot to do with confidence and how you feel about yourself, and your confidence begins when you start your day by selecting the jewelry you will wear and the clothes that go with it.  So go ahead, don “Twinkle Twinkle” and make your wishes for the day come true.

The circle of life… there are songs about it, theories that revolve around it, and jewelry that is structured by it. A simple silver circle filled with a shining abalone shell, bringing together the almighty ocean with the imminent lifecycle. This jewelry piece combines geometric contrasts of the circle with the diamond shaped abalone shells interspersed as they encircle the neck and color contrasts with the tiny accents of thai silver and freshwater pearls. Versatile by nature, abalone reflects the colors of the materials around it, and makes a statement about the complex individual you are.

When the morning light strikes its first rays of warmth to welcome a new day, hibiscus flowers reach up towards the sky and begin to open their petals. Orange, red and yellow can often be found within one flower, stretching from the edge of the petals to the tip of the stamen. A silver glint emits from the petal as the sunlight hits and is reflected to you to highlight the beauty of nature’s creation.

This sight is the inspiration for the designs Flowers Ablaze, a semiprecious stone necklace with highlights of silver on sterling silver wire. This creation can be worn casually with jeans and a t-shirt or dress it up with a slinky spaghetti strap number.

One of the most defining characteristics about a perfect summer day is the color blue of the sky. When you walk out of your door and look up at the sky, and see the intense blue, sometimes accented by perfect white clouds, breathe in the fresh air, and think of all of the nostalgia of summer: school vacations, playing at the pool with friends, going on family vacations to the beaches, remembering what innocence is all about.

Here in Costa Rica most mornings begin just like that. I start each day remembering the innocence of the earth, sky, clouds, and trees. Those beautiful blues inspired “Perfect Summer Sky”; a semi-precious stone necklace of quartz, kyanite, and rainbow moonstone on sterling silver wire.

When you wear it may it bring you back to the days of old, of innocence and youth, and memories of a perfect summer day.

Leaf Shadows. Have you ever been walking in a rain forest? If so, think back to the play of light between the brown of the forest floor and the various shades of green of the leaves of the plants and trees surrounding you. If not, pick up a copy of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are (children’s section) and check out the illustrations.

The contrast of the earth tones is subtle yet enchanting. That is why for this tribute to the rain forest I used a large faceted smoky quartz centerpiece which draws your attention and then reflects the light to its adjacent components, surrounded by a hollow decorative silver bead, followed by high quality peridot, faceted and then smooth.

This unique combination of semi-precious stones and silver resulted in the beautiful semi-precious stone necklace you see here.

Have you noticed the new header? We took out the antique marquisite detail and added a centerpiece created by ShaynaB Jewelry. The new feature is taken from the beaded necklace Abalone Ring and features a diamond shaped abalone shell with two smaller abalone pieces centered in a sterling silver ring. We felt this feature is a better representation of our creativity. Did you notice how the lines of the silver ring give the piece a sense of fluidity and movement?
