Pretty Things- ScarlettGarnet Jewelry

For my birthday this year, my husband Mark set up a meeting with a local jewelry artist, Garnet Baker, so that I could choose or commission a custom piece. Garnet met us at a local coffee shop one Saturday morning and we rummaged through a huge box of amazing natural stones. She was so passionate about the rocks. She was bubbling over with ideas, and I immediately wanted to tell everyone I knew about her quickly budding jewelry company.
Then, I learned that she and her partner Katie do custom jewelry (at a very reasonable price) for weddings. I wished I would have know about this when I got married!
What could be more special than a custom designed piece of jewelry to give to your bridesmaids?
So a few weeks ago we shot a few of the pieces that Garnet and her partner Katie have made. Enjoy the eye candy, and be sure to keep your eye on this incredible duo of designers- they are destined for success! (great Christmas idea too)

beautiful finishing detail- the back is just as gorgeous as the front. And those draping beads sewn into the back of the dress were also done by Garnet. Oooh la la!

this set is actually very special to me. I gave Garnet this cameo locket that my grandma passed down to me and asked her to put it on a beautiful chain- she came back with this lovely delicate combination of stones that just showcases my family treasure.

Here is an amazing creation of Katie's. Made of antique finds- bottons and such. Eclectic and clean at the same time


Garnet has incredible range- she does both classic and delicate and a little more edgy. This piece is actually centered around a pendant made of a real live orchid. and I love the way this echoes the model's tatoos.

Beautiful Work Garnet. I love the beads on the back of the dress and the Cameo necklace. The necklace of ivory?, geometric, circles, rectangles, freefalling dangles...too cool.
