I received the Jet Black Gemdrop Earrings just in time for a date. I opened up the box to see a petite lavender satchel. Inside were these stunners. They were a lot bigger than I had anticipated, fooled by the camera lens of Elizabeth's Vaughan's website. I couldn't be happier.
I slipped them through my ears and instantly felt elegant and poised. The earrings weren't heavy and the wire was sturdy. The gems clean and sparkling, complimenting my black dress. I was looking fabulous, as would anyone wearing Ms. Vaughan's jewelry.
Clearly talented, I had the chance to chat with Elizabeth and get to know her. She is currently in graduate school for Speech-Language Pathology, and has been designing jewelry sporadically since college. Though not a full time jewelry designer (I'm crushed too), Elizabeth finds jewelry-making to be a great creative outlet... working with metals and wire is definitely a great stress-buster! Having gone through grad school myself, I can totally relate.
Inspiration for jewelry is as simple as exploring shapes and colors until Elizabeth creates something that she, herself, would enjoy wearing. Evidently she has great taste as women of all ages within her family own and wear something she has created. Though some of her pieces have a modern twist, Elizabeth firmly believes if "a woman (of any age) sees a piece of jewelry she loves regardless of the "style", she should wear it!"
