A Mirror Good Enough To Eat


I know, my title makes no sense. My hear me out.

This next mirror is truly spectacular. It is difficult to explain, so thank goodness for photographs! This mirror took weeks and weeks to build, as my mother (the designer) had to design and build each little gem cluster that adorns this gorgeous mirror.

For some reason, it reminds me of cake.

All Three Rhinestone Frames


These frames are now on eBay. They are SPECTACULAR. Trust me. :)

Our Rhinestone Frame


This is the clear frame. Isn't it gorgeous? It really is an extraordinary frame, and my photo simply does not do it justice. Taking photos of rhinestones is much harder than you might think!

You can check out this frame here.

Speaking of Rhinestones...





I was looking through some photos of our older pieces, and I discovered this little gem of a box. Isn't it just the cutest thing you've ever seen? The underlying piece is a vintage little heart-shaped trinket box. Then rhinestones, turquoise, pearls, small turbo shells, and a beautiful chunk of coral were added.

Perfection.

My Personal Favorite Frame


My mother has created probably 500 seashell frames in her tenure as a shell designer. This one is my absolute favorite, by far. I have no idea why, as it is rather small. But don't let it's diminutive size sway you, this little beauty is truly extraordinary.

Our Art Deco Rhinestone Frames are Coming!



I just took a peek into the studio and saw my mother working on some of her rhinestone encrusted photo frames. These frames are absolutely gorgeous, and they sell like wildfire.

Our Venetian Rococo Pearl Shell Encrusted Mirror


This mirror is currently for sale, and that surprises me since this piece is absolutely exquisite. The detail, the quality of the shells used, and the unbelievable workmanship just make this a piece that is truly unique.

As many current clients know, the designer of our pieces is my mother, Bonnie. I am lucky enough to witness her designing and building these mirrors, and it truly is a sight to be seen. Even after watching her design for well over a decade, I could still never replicate what she does. She is truly an artist.
