From time to time, AMJ donates a piece of jewelry for good cause. Recently, we made a custom pair of Adorable Little Birdie Earrings in Silver for Parrot Toy Angels' 2010 Spring Auction. Parrot Toy Angels is an all volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization that is committed to providing toys, food and other avian supplies to companion birds in need. More information about Parrot Toy Angels can be found here. If you would like to donate funds you can click here. If you would like to donate a item for their upcoming auction, please contact them at: donations (at) parrottoyangels (dot) org . All donations are tax-deductible.

AMJ also carries the Adorable Little Birdie Earrings in a black matte finish and with different kinds of beads. Because at Adorn Me we love birdies, we have a number of bird-based items. To see them click here.

Adorn Me will be selling a pair of these earrings from our shop as well, and 20% of the total sale price will be donated to Parrot Toy Angels. Happy shopping!

Please welcome our new blog mistress, Devi!

Hi There and Hello!

I'm Devi, and I am the new blog mistress for Adorn Me Jewelry. I'll be stopping in to highlight new designs and announce contests and discounts! I'm a lover of all things handmade (especially jewelry!) and parrots. :-D

AMJ now has some lovely rose gold items! The Sandi Earrings feature three stacked garnet red faceted flat briolettes on rose gold filled ear wires that Tina fashioned and hammered herself. For some additional sparkle, garnet-colored Swarovski bicone crystals have been stacked on the hand-hammered rose gold-filled head pins. They swing a bit and can be worn for formal and informal occasions. Quite versatile! You can find more photos and info right here.

Another rose gold item is the Hand Hammered Rose Gold-Filled Hoop Earrings. They're 1 1/8" in circumference, are simple, and were formed and hammered by hand. These can be found here. If you would like a custom size hoop, or are interested in a custom design featuring rose gold-filled wire, drop Tina a note and she'll take care of you!

Note: sometimes Devi will update and sometimes Tina will update, though you may not always know which one of us it is. We'll keep you guessing! ;)

The next ship date is Saturday February 13, 2010.
