If you've been following along for awhile, you know that my journey in to making jewelry didn't start recently. It actually started in junior high when I got in to making bead necklaces as a hobby. But even at a young age I was interested in starting a business and began hustling jewelry to my classmates out of a wooden box at lunchtime. So when I dabbled in making necklaces during maternity leave earlier this year, I re-discovered a love for the jewelry making that I had lost after getting burnt out on earrings.
At Palettes and Petals, each piece tells a story with my hands, heart, and a passion for creating. The latest collection of gemstone bead necklaces is no different—but this one feels extra special. Why? Because every single necklace is a one-of-a-kind treasure, crafted with some of the most beautiful, high-quality gemstone beads I've ever had, sourced from other small businesses!
The Heart of the Collection: High Quality Gemstones
This collection features gemstones that speak for themselves—Kingman turquoise, lustrous pearls, and bold carnelian beads just to name a few. Sourcing them from fellow small businesses ensures that each stone not only shines but also supports artisans who share my values. And since no two stones are exactly alike, each necklace is truly one-of-a-kind, just like the person who wears it.
When you wear one of these necklaces, you’ll feel the care and attention that went into it. This collection isn’t about mass production—it’s about artistry, intention, and creating something that is not only beautiful and fun to wear, but also that lasts.
A Worthwhile Investment
I know this collection is priced higher than what you might be used to seeing from me, and I want to be upfront about why. These aren’t just necklaces—they’re works of art, crafted from genuine, high-quality gemstones that are as timeless as they are beautiful. When you wear one, you’re not just adding a piece of jewelry to your collection; you’re carrying a story, a symbol of craftsmanship, and something that gives back.
Cause Close to My Heart
There’s something else that makes this collection extra special. As many of you know, Palettes and Petals donates a portion of proceeds to ALS research in memory of my dad. Your purchase isn’t just an investment in a piece of jewelry—it’s an investment in a cause that’s deeply personal to me. Together, we’re helping in the fight against ALS, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of that.
A Unique Gift for Yourself or Someone You Love
Whether you're treating yourself or looking for a gift that truly means something, these necklaces are the perfect choice. Each one carries a sense of individuality, with its unique combination of gemstones, and it’s a beautiful way to show someone how special they are.
Thank you for continuing to support Palettes and Petals—it means the world to me. I can’t wait for you to experience this collection, and I hope you find a piece that speaks to your heart, just as it has spoken to mine!
