Jewelry Designer/Fashion Consultant

Hi,

This is going to be a very busy week for me since I just created a new smaller/lightweight necklace. Lots of new designs are being created. Smaller beads, believe it or not, since I'm known as a chunky jewelry designer, but they're starting to look pretty nice after putting them all together. They are a four strand necklace with lots of glass beads and freshwater pearls intertwined and still very lightweight. Lots of summer colors from pinks, oranges, blacks, browns, blues, yellows, greens. They will be posted on my Web site: www.JoanneKatherineDesigns.com within the next couple of weeks. I will still do lots of chunky/funky pieces to choose from, too, for the customers that love the big and bold pieces, which are still very, very in. Lots of big/chunky necklaces on the runway this spring. Lots of orange and navy are the two biggest colors out there.

Also, I've introduced chains, from chunky to delicate, short, long, double them up with a couple of long strand of freshwater pearls and you've got a great look. So lots of interesting things happening in my studio for spring/summer.

Hoping to update our Web site (have a few interesting ideas) so hopefully within a month or two that will have changed somewhat.

With the economy the way it is some of the new pieces I'm designing will be at a price point that I hope will be beneficial to you all, but will still be very unique and there will still be one-of-a-kind pieces for you to choose from.

Well, for now I better get stringing and finishing these new designs that I hope everyone will enjoy.

Hope to hear from you.

Joanne Katherine
