This Week I Love …

… April Kawaoka’s amazing jewelry.


Do you have any idea how long these Grown Hooped earrings have been in my Etsy faves? I’m thinking about 2 years now. Other wishlist items always seem to bump them, but my love for them remains strong.

Her other elegantly unique designs have won me over, too.


Which piece is your favorite? How would you wear it?

I love that first pair! Thanks for introducing me to a new beautiful etsy shop.

Wow! These are so beautiful. I really like all of them, but I love the Ebb and Flow ring. That ring could bring a touch of femininity to jeans and a flannel plaid shirt. Or, you know, pretty much anything!

The first one they are simple but different. I would wear them with my hair pulled back, white tshirt, black skinny jeans, red heels.
I can see my self already lol.

Oh that ebb and flow ring is stunning, but I would wear pretty much any of it. It is so modern and clean looking, but so interesting at the same time…

So simple but so chic! I love mostly everything with swirls and swooshes and this jewelry is no exception. Wish I could afford a piece from her collection. I'll just have to daydream in the meantime how fun it would be to wear. :)

I love the ring – it would be a perfect 'right hand ring', where it could get plenty of attention.

The Grown Hoops are beautiful!

These necklaces: http://www.etsy.com/listing/49823236/outstanding-trendy-necklace have been in my Etsy favorites for a long time, as has this necklace: http://www.etsy.com/listing/52571021/stop-the-ship-a-sweet-antiqued-silver

There are just some things I've liked for ages (since I first joined Etsy, in fact!!) but have never gotten around to buying.

i know the feeling, some items have been on my etsy-favourites list forever. i'm slowly working on it, though =) if i were you i'd take those first hoop earrings, i think they'd suit you perfectly well.

Wow, these are gorgeous, thanks for sharing! I'm loving the Grown Hoops, too. A little pricey so I see why they're on your wish list. Now when I have an occasion to splurge, I know where to go!

What a stunning necklace. I would wear it with something strapless to really showcase the beautiful simplicity of the jewelry. Perhaps Anthropologie's Height of Summer dress…

I love the Peachy Keen and Swirly Keen earrings and I think either pair would take the place of my silver hoops – which I usually wear with a black t, jeans, and cute flats!

Do the little curly things get caught on stuff when you wear them?

Love these kinds of designs! Simply, flowing, beautiful! Too bad she doesn't have additional necklaces–I'm trying to find a silver necklace–one of those I'll-know-it-when-I-see-it. These designs were along the right track!

I like the ring best. I'd wear it on the right hand and pair it with a chunky silver necklace I have. It is sort of like chainmail and reminds me of a fence. I'd wear a floral dress and the ring would be a climbing vine and my necklace would be the fence around the garden.

Those grown hooped earrings are gorgeous! They've been one of my favs for awhile.
