Introducing...
The aforementioned "big reveal" is here my friends, and guaranteed it's MUCH bigger to me than to you, but all the same... today is the release of my new jewelry line, Miralu! This is a big deal to me as I gave up my prior jewelry shop (curio j, for you old schoolers :) after this blog started getting bigger and more time consuming as I just did not have time to make anything anymore- couple that with trying to organize a shoppe full of handmade goods from other talented artists, and I felt almost intimidated by my own shoppe to be included there! But, I've finally made a collection of earrings and figured it's time to unveil them to the world, so here friends are the first rungs of the Miralu jewelry line, with necklaces, brooches, rings and maybe even bracelets to come (assuming you all might want them to come, that is :) Obviously I'm apprehensive about showing these to anybody because I haven't seen my own work "out there" in so long, but here goes! 
These are some of my favorites but there are still more to see in the Modish shoppe, where Miralu will be exclusively available (at least for now.) Annnnnd, as a special gift just for modish readers, to celebrate my anniversary today, I'd love to give you a FREE PAIR OF FABRIC POST EARRINGS (like these that you see below) with any order placed between today thru Sunday, 4/6- just write "Congrats Miralu!" in the notes at checkout and I'll send you a free pair!
The pair you receive will differ from those that you see on the site, but the fabrics I have are all fabulous and funky and pretty, guaranteed. :) And remember to use the promo code "Happy1st" at checkout too for free shipping!
So there you have it, the first of the Miralu line- I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! And there should be more to come soon, so keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks for checking it out! Off to run and hide in a corner now...

I am literally (okay metaphorically, but when I was looking at your jewelry it was literally) sitting on my hands because I absolutely cannot buy anything.
But Delilah? Seriously tempting me. So adorable.

Congratulations on this new venture, Jena!
I very much like the pairing up of beads & fabric, such as in the 'Sofia' earrings :)
Posted by: Elena | Apr 04, 2008 at 04:16 PM
congrats, jena! a truly wondrous collection-- just beautiful! how do you find time for it all?! megxx

Gorgeous! Love the fabric covered earrings, especially the Sofia earrings :)

The earrings are great. There is a pair that I absolutely love, and had it in the cart ready to purchase, but then I found I couldn't stop with just that pair. Unfortunately, I made a resolution with myself last week that I was not going to purchase anything other than the necessities with this paycheck- but next week the deal is off, and if they are still there I'm definitely going to get them. So tempting though- almost "necessity" worthy. Almost.

Congratulations, Jena!

Oh my goodness! Jena, these pieces are GORGEOUS!
Posted by: Katrina | Apr 05, 2008 at 10:20 AM
wow, what great compliments- thank you everyone!!
And emily- you're so funny! If by chance the pair you like isn't in stock when you're ready, I can most likely make them again for you- I still have most of the beads left to make duplicates- just let me know! :)

Posted by: edessedesigns | Apr 06, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Hurray! I am excited to see you making jewelry again! Love the new designs...I still wear all of my purchases from the curioj line and I am so psyched you are back in business. Good luck and i'm sure you will see purchases from me very soon!
