What a beautiful day!


First thing this morning I met with some clients who loved the vintage glass rings. These rings are made from glass stones that were made in the 1930's-1950's. I've taken the glass stones and set them in sterling silver bezels...they really catch the eye. I only have a few left and to see them check out my upcoming show in Sandwich at the library on Saturday from 10-4.
After that, Jacob and I headed to the playground to enjoy this gorgeous day. It feels like July and I love it. I love the Cape when the pace slows down after summer but you still get the amazing weather and those ocean breezes.
I am so excited about this blog; it gives me a chance to share my creative process. For instance today I am playing around with some sterling silver coated lucite beads that look like big chunks of molten silver. I am think I am going to knot them on some amazing leather cord I found recently. I'll post a pic of my progress soon.
The picture here is Jacob with his friend Charlotte out for a ride in the jeep! He already knows to let the woman drive. What a couple of cuties.

My First Post



Welcome...this is all new for me but I thought it would be a good idea to let everyone know what is happening with Swirls and with the Sullivan family.

The big news of the month is my new line, Beauty and the Raw, is being featured on http://www.givingtreejewelry.com/ and I am so excited! Rachel and Judith are amazing as are their staff. This line features raw and rough faceted natural stones including labordorite, citrine, smokey topaz, apetite, tourmaline and more. They've really inspired me to create more new designs so keep looking for more.

I have a show coming up on Saturday, Sept. 29th but I have to be out of town so Grace, my assistant will be there. Come by and check out my new designs...lots of great things for fall! The show is at the Sandwich Library in Sandwich, MA; my hometown.
Enjoy the blog and email me if you have any questions: elisa@swirlsjewlery.com
