The Sierra Earrings were designed as a custom piece for a redheaded customer who wanted a pair of earrings to match a dress.
The lemon jade and gold in the earrings allows Sierra to be dressed up (with a LBD) or dressed down (with a tee and jeans).
Fun fact about Liz Henry Designs? Christi, the designer behind these elegant earrings, recently adopted a baby from China named Gracie Shan (meaning "Elegant" in Chinese). In honor of her fashionable new baby, Christi just created a line of bath and body products called "Shan by Liz Henry," a portion of the sales from which will go to a non-profit agency that benefits Chinese orphans.

The Perfect Gift For: Your Extravagant Girlfriend.
Designer Janick Gravel loves finding ways to incorporate unusual materials into her creations.
Her Deploy earrings, made from a goose feather, are no exception. As they attract attention, Janick suggests wearing them with more subtle accessories—like a dark wooden bangle. And for a softer evening look, she recommends the white Deploy earrings with a little black dress.
Fun fact about Janick? She has VERY long hair, which she uses as a scarf in Montreal’s cold winters when she forgets her real scarf at home.

The Perfect Gift For: Your Favorite Makeup Artist.
Like so many New Yorkers, Tanja of Sweet T Original prefers dressing in monochromatic black. But when she designs her bags, she sheds her basic black in favor of bright colors, bold prints, and combinations of contrasting fabrics.
Tribal tattoos came to mind when Tanja saw this particular Marimekko print. And because Tanja promised her mother that she wouldn’t get any more tattoos, she decided to make herself a bag that reminded her of them.
Did you know? Tanja has “New York†tattooed on her left shoulder. At least, she hopes that’s what it says, since she can’t read Chinese!
