Key To My Heart --- “This piece was inspired by my husband. On our first Valentine's Day together, he gave me a bracelet and told me I had the key to his heart. I thought this piece was a beautiful representation of that moment. I hand-stamped the disc and used jump rings to put it all together.”
Our Staff Pick is: She Loves a Sailor by Gail McConville. Congratulations, Gail! As the Staff Pick, Gail will receive a gift bag of jewelry-making components, and be featured in a future email announcement or blog.
