I've got my eye on these necklaces from new jewelry shop Gold Hearted. I'd wear the coral ember necklace layered with the luna.

lettermarch.

Our former intern Aymie is awesome - she worked for us for a short while and then ran off to NYC to hang out with Swiss Miss and Jessica Hische. (Tiniest bit jealous? Maybe) She's got this awesome month-long project of carving one letter a day, and she's almost done.

Speaking of interns, SeeSaw is looking for a few great creative student designers to help out around the studio. If you're interested, email us at info@seesawdesigns.com.

gemeg jewelry.

I'm so excited about the launch of GEMEG Jewelry, by local Scottsdale-based designer (and gorgeous model!) Amanda Shoemaker. Inspired by Arizona’s desert landscape and native culture, each piece is one-of-a-kind and really beautiful. This takes my love of gems and minerals to a whole new level.

See more here - and look out for rings coming soon. All photos from GEMEG.

After fighting it for so long, the last few years have seen me embracing the southwestern imagery that is everywhere here in AZ.

Cheers for upcycling: sugar molds turned functional holders from Compai. Maybe this is what we need around the office to keep our succulents happy.
