Gray and Turquoise Boho Beach Accessory

Who says summer clothes can’t be worn all year long? I don’t know about you, but I love the versatility of loose clothes that can be paired with different pieces throughout the fall and spring months! The secret to making your most comfy tees and baggy pants not look like pajamas is by pairing them with eye-catching accessories! I made this necklace for just that reason… by adding a bold statement piece you’ll automatically create a more structured look to any loose, beachy outfit! The gray and turquoise hues in this necklace mimic stones, thus giving off an earth-tone vibe that can be worn by all ages, and at any time of the year. I made this necklace using a central Turquoise Oval Stone and Turquoise Howlite Accent Stone Beads. I also used Gray Metal Hermatite, Smoke-Colored Faux Pearls, and a Silver Metal Fringe Tassel to complete this one-of-a-kind piece! This necklace is sturdy and carries the proper dash of masculinity needed to pull together any free-flowing outfit! Shop this piece here!

Mint Green Goodness

I recently fell in LOVE with this mint green color when shopping for beads to make fresh new summer designs! This color is the epitome of a thirst quenching color on a hot summer day… it will brighten up any summer outfit! I made two variations of this necklace, as seen above. The first with chunky sea-foam green gemstones for my festival-goers, and the second is a classier look with round pearl-shaped beads for my Audrey Hepburn-type girls. I paired these light green colored beads with a gold hue to give a cheerful and fresh summer look. These necklaces will go perfectly with your favorite summer cotton sundress for an easy-breezy, flowey look with a pop of color! The best part is that this Mint Green color will make any outfit fresh and glowing. I made both Double Stranded Statement Necklaces using Mint Green 6mm Glass Beads, Aqua-Colored Opaque 8mm Glass Beads, 6mm Glass Czech Gold Beads with a Fire Polish, and Green Oval Stones in a 15x20mm size (as seen in the 1st design). Shop here to get your fresh new summer look!

Spring Frills and Thrills

Wow! What a fun month it has been! I just moved back to Cincinnati after spending my 1st month of rotations in Chicago participating in an HIV/AIDS specialty pharmacy and primary care rotation! Boy oh boy did I learn a ton! Although I deeply miss my time in Chicago, I’m excited to be back at my apartment for more jewelry designing and Jewelry By Andie B. love!

While in Chicago, I did get a brief chance to make this lovely necklace. My handmade White, Blue, and Gold Tassel Pendant Necklace is so beautiful you won’t be able to take your eyes off of it! This necklace is pure boho chic and perfect for every summer style. Pair this pendant tassel necklace with your favorite festival outfit, or dress it up with a skirt and crop top, like I did in the photos above! Although this necklace looks fab in pictures, it is even more gorgeous and earthy in person! I made this necklace using Blue Howlite 3mm Round Beads, Turquoise Howlite Stone Beads, White Howlite Round 8mm Stone Beads, and White Shell 6mm Spacer Beads. Hurry and get yours before it’s gone (only 1 more left)!

Dainty Pieces

Necklace: Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Striped Long Sleeve Shirt: J. Crew | Green Picture Frame: Target

Lately I have been obsessing over dainty, minimalist pieces! They’re so easy to wear with any outfit, and they gracefully accentuate your neckline. As a result of this obsession, I decided to venture out and make my own! I believe my necklaces have a special edge because both the gold chain and the gold tube pieces were shipped to me from halfway around the world, from Turkey! Owning a piece of jewelry that came from so far away definitely makes me feel more special as I’m wearing it throughout the day. Receiving these pieces from Turkey made the designing process so much more rewarding and thrilling, knowing that I was about to make a special item that traveled halfway around the world! This Dainty Gold Plated Bar Necklace is an iconic look that every girl deserves to own. Turn it into a festival look by pairing it with other thin gold necklaces of various lengths to give the layering effect (see more here). Or wear it solo to add a little glimmer and sparkle to your everyday office look. Either way, there is no going wrong with this gorgeous piece!

Xoxo,
