Shop of the Week Lehane

I love creating jewelry! Years ago beads jumped out at me and yanked me into a fascinating world of color, shape, size, and incredible variety. I dream of making new jewelry designs -- knowing they will bring someone a unique connection with art, beauty, and perhaps earth's energies. I also love the old chainmaille traditions of linking rings to create beautiful ancient patterns, some with modern variations and colors. As my chainmaille and other creations expanded my shop here became crowded and so now there are two shops!
Lehane.etsy.com -- for chainmailleLehaneArts.etsy.com -- for all other jewelry styles
Symbolism, color, shape, size, and material are all elements involved in each of my creations. I think of my jewelry creations as connections between the day-to-day world and the supernatural world just beyond our view, a world of beauty, eternity, and positive energies.
My goal is to create unique wearable art with a touch of that special bold attitude which lives somewhere between elegance and playfulness.

Above is how Lehane introduces her shop.

Now what I want to know is which mood are you in?

Elegant?

Or playful?

Shop of the Week Exquisite Studios on Etsy

I began my studio in 2005 with candleholders, novelty items, and plaques. I was urged by my clients to do more with my range of talents, so I certainly have. Jewelry has long been a passion of mine. Having a very small wrist and neck, finding jewelry that not only fit properly, but looked amazing from any department store was never easy. Their designs and finishes would come close, but never really filled me with honest happiness. It's not enough, to me, to have beautiful jewelry pieces that sit in a drawer until "that special occasion" comes around. Jewelry is an investment, therefore, it's my philosophy that it had better be excellent day after day, without breaking or losing its luster. 

I've honed my talents and excel in quality and workmanship. Handmade Artisan Fine Jewelry reigns supreme for its One-Of-A-Kind nature and brilliance in longevity. No machine on the planet can possibly compete with anything handmade, in my eyes. Heck, I don't even alter or restore the Vintage pieces I work with using a machine of any sort. I cannot stand to. For me, and for you, quality comes from the hand-crafted work that goes into every single piece. It's worth the time going in, because you're worth the time--every time.

I've built my reputation on my skills, knowledge, and execution. The reward is the smile on your face when you open your new treasure from ExquisiteStudios. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Knowing about the quality and dedication of this very talented artisan I find it so very easy to fall in love with everything in the Exquisite Studios shop. The work done by Emily on these vintage treasures is simply stunning. Precisicion and attention to all the fine details show in each and every necklace, brooch, ring or set of earrings.

Two of my favorites are right here. I love the look of the vintage bar pin! As for the bracelet, what is more lovely than the warmth when you combine the red of garnets with gold?

Emily and I would both be so very pleased if you browse the shop and let us know your favorites. Remember Mother's Day is coming and that is a perfect time to treat yourself or someone you love.
