………………………….EXOTIC……definitely………BOLD……..absolutely……….The COZUMEL NECKLACE & EARRING SET, J352562……is for those of you who love SPECIAL items that stand out….items that are unique….items that are artisan and have a craftsmanship that you don’t see anymore……..These are pieces that you search for but never find……..These are the pieces you can put on the simplest outfit and make it WONDERFUL…….These are also items you can pair with bold prints like my FLORAL and BUTTERFLY  faux wrap top, and it will not only hold its’ own, but they will compliment each other even though the combination is very unexpected……These are items other women will want, and are envious of……. Jac and I have traveled far and wide, and I know of what I speak. If I were to find a necklace like this in some wonderful resort in some far away land I would have snatched it up to use as inspiration…………………………………………………………

…………………………The Cozumel necklace and Earring is made of copper coated resin beads which makes them light in weight as is the Cancun necklace…..If this were done in metal it would be unwearable…….Copper coated resin gives designers the possibility of doing bold pieces….The necklace is comprised of the same irregular rounded beads in two sizes……….Then….what makes this super special is the LARGE OVAL DISC that is asymmetrically placed on one side only………The beads and disc are all hand knotted into place with a BLACK CORD. The cord is finished at the back neck with a small metal cap….then the extender chain and the Lobster claw….The necklace is approx. 40 inches long plus the 3 inch extender……The earring has a lever back, and the small beads hang from a thin black cord, finished at the bottom with a tiny bead……..This is a shorter earring than the earring that comes with the Cancun necklace………The finish on all the beads is the same as the Cancun pieces……a semi matte SILVER ARTISAN finish………I personally LOVE both the CANCUN and the COZUMEL necklaces worn together for a WOW SUPER SPECIAL LOOK. I am certainly aware that not everyone can carry this look, but for those who can…….fasten your seat belts…..you are going to get a ton of compliments!……..This set should be posted this month around my show dates….so keep an eyes out for the COZUMEL necklace and earring……………………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………..Louis

……………FRAGILE, DELICATE, SPARKLY, FEMININE……………..are just a few of the adjectives one can use when describing this new TRIPLE STRAND FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE & EARRING SET….J352561………The color is called………….NUDE PINK, but it blends perfectly with any pale pink shade you may own……like the PERFECTLY PINK PIECES above. The spaced faceted glass beads, all of equal size, are on on a delicate SILVER CHAIN……..If you think you could only wear this on something pink….you would be eliminating so many beautiful possibilities. Grey, from charcoal to silver, would all look beautiful with this pink necklace. Come spring and summer wear it with your pastel sweaters and tee shirts……pale lilac. buttercup, and pale mint will all look beautiful accented with this pink sparkle placed upon them……..Dress up your summer tee shirts and white jeans or Capri pants, or go full out glamour on a beautiful summer dress wearing this special necklace. It truly is timeless, and it something you will treasure forever…………The pierced only DROP EARRING comes with the necklace, and the faceted beads hangs from a simple chain……For some the earring may seem long, though long earrings are what is happening. I would suggest bringing it to any local jewelry store and ask them if they could shorten it for you. It really is very easy when you know how……The necklace is avail to order now, and I know many of you have already received it. There aren’t many left…. One think is undeniable……it is a QUALITY piece…………………..Pink…..in any shade is always the most flattering color you can wear……………………..enjoy…………………much Love………………………..Louis

……………………….This necklace on the Linea site is described as “silver”………That is doing these faceted beads a disservice. Yes, they are silver, but that is only half of the story. Each bead is half SILVER and half CLEAR SPARKLY CRYSTAL, which gives the necklace beautiful light refraction causing it to glisten…..It is just not a simple silver bead necklace!…………On BLACK, HEATHER CHARCOAL GREY, and gleaming summer WHITE [as shown above] the necklace looks spectacular. On colors, the clear crystal part of the bead will allow the color to peek through, so it is a necklace for all SEASONS and all COLORS……When you want a more tailored earring any silver hoop or stud will work perfectly with the SILVER CHAIN…From snowy winter days to sunny summer days, the Silver and Crystal will always be a go to necklace…………………….enjoy……………..much Love…………………….Louis

……………………….CELADON, yes it is Celadon….but there is also an IRIDESCENT  BLUE, and a hint of CHOCOLATE in each bead. The CHOCOLATE CHAIN sets off the colors perfectly and makes the necklace very unique. If it had a gold. silver or gunmetal chain it just would not have captured this special look. You may not think such a unique coloration would be versatile, but you must always play and try new things. The unexpected always happens! Above, I have the necklace on the new V-neck Moss Crepe Swing top, A302557, in Porcelain Blue, Dark Chocolate and Bay Leaf……each working beautifully with the Celadon necklace……….Of all the colors avail. in this necklace this is probably the most unique, but each has a purpose, and each will make any garment you chose to wear with them SPECIAL………………………….enjoy………………………much Love……………………….Louis

…………………..The Safari Crinkle georgette Shirt with the tank, A214117, and the Crinkle Georgette Boho skirt, A70208 are back in three new colors….all of which have been asked for by you. The first is…………………….WINE…………a great season-less color……….A268216, the Super Ponte Boot Cut pant in the reg. length are avail in wine to match the shirt…….Wear your wine skirt with your wine WK sweaters and boots right now and later with the shirt and sandals or wedges…….The new necklace and earring set, J354004, is called……”INCA”….You will have to be patient…..It will be avail in April……..The detailing and artisan work is very finely done, and is on BOTH SIDES of the hanging pendant. The Paddle earring comes with the necklace….The color above, though it doesn’t show well in the photo, is COPPER OX……………………….enjoy…………………….much Love……………………..Louis
