At Style Maven, they got the scoop on Hovey Lee:
"For Hovey Lee, it was quite a natural thing for to start a jewelry design studio. Hovey's Interior Designer father and Hong Kong upbringing bring a unique East West aesthetic to her collections. In October 2002 Hovey launched her website. With her design studio and own business Hovey can be 100% passionate about her work. It’s a necessary creative outlet for me...and of course, it's a great excuse for her to stock up on gemstones and amass an amazing collection of jewelry."

What is your inspiration for the latest collection?

My mom’s pearl and gold jewelry, Todd Brown’s paintings, and my recently acquired collection of uniquely shaped and colored gemstones.

a night post, because tonight, im out watching the moon.

Dragonfly IV
$52.00
A dewy minty chalcedony sits atop of the goldfilled wire ring with a gold pewter dragonfly on each side.







"magentic; like the moon had entered my chest and filled it right up."
(S.M.K. , The Secret Life of Bees)

I wonder, how many other people in the world have thought about sitting there, sitting anywhere, staring up at the moon, and wondering who else is looking at the moon that same very second. I have and surely more than once. At one point in history, the moon was one of the biggest media monkey-makers of all time.

The moment we actually walked that walk, after talking about it for so long, man not only took a step, but a right of passage.

We had reached a milestone.

So what does the moon mean to us now? To me, the moon means connection, soul, and tremendous energy. I can't ever forget the time I camped at the beach with my family when we were younger. What I remember best, was that moment I fell asleep next to the ocean and never once felt scared. I fell asleep peacefully and almost felt the moon lighting up my insides, beating and breathing, in and out.

Because the moon was up there; keeping all of us lit, safe, and sound.
While we all are down here; laying, being, and quietly sleeping.

a summer sunday bbq, whats on the menu?

Some beautiful and affordable ways to make any bbq with friends & family unforgettable.
So what's on the menu?
and ladies, just what are we going to wear?

Well, one thing we know we will make the outfit no matter what:



some eco-chic jewelry by Hovey Lee.






The food menu:
While you don’t have to go full-time veg to green your lifestyle, many people are surprised to learn that simply cutting out meat consumption is one of the most significant ways to help to the environment.

Appetizers: Green Been, Corn, and Tomato Salad

To ease mealtime preparation, cook the corn and beans early in the day, toss them with olive oil and smashed garlic, and keep them in the refrigerator. To remove corn kernels from the cob, hold the ear upright on its flat end on a cutting board; with a sharp knife, cut along the length of the cob to remove the kernels, turning the cob as you go.

On The Grill: Turkey Burgers
For juicy burgers, use ground turkey that's at least 7 percent fat. Sour cream, mango chutney, and mustard will give them additional flavor and moisture.

For Desert: Orange-Walnut Cake
This dessert makes guests happy in many ways. It's loaded with vitamins B12 (from the yogurt) and C (orange juice), folate (OJ, again), and omega-3 fatty acids (walnuts) -- all nutrients shown to boost your mood.

We believe each woman is unique and her mood and style changes day to day.

Exquisite Handmade Eco Jewelry, welcomes you to our new blog!

Yellowstone $42.00 Gently faceted yellow chalcedony nugget makes a bright statement on sterling silver band.

Today reminds me that summer is here & in California the heat makes me start to wonder a bit about the sun.

Our sun.

(photographed: Copperfrilli
$55.00


(A unique umbrella shape copper earrings with a dangle of coral beads. Made with reclaimed and reprocessed copper metal. Approx. 2.5 inches long.)

I love the feeling of being a bit cold, enough where a small chill runs down your back, and then the moment you step into a bit of sun, the warmth covers your exterior and inside, you feel extremely happy. Even if it's happy for just a moment, it's ok. The feeling is just different when you are in the 'love of the sun'.

So today, remember that as each day ends, another will begin tomorrow. And the sun rises each day, as do we.

Always and consistantly rising.
