There’s a lot going on behind the scenes at Tiny Oak Jewelry these days! I’m taking a course called “Laying the Foundation” from Flourish and Thrive Academy, a company built by jewelry designer Tracy Matthews.

I love elastic bracelets. As a consumer, But I don’t trust them. I don’t trust them. I have never owned an elastic bracelet that didn’t ultimately end up as a pile of beads sitting in the bottom of a decorative bowl somewhere.
Retail arts and crafts marketplace giant, Etsy, recently released their forecast for fall fashion. When it comes to jewelry, vintage and recycled pieces continue to grab attention. Retro-styled chokers, pearls and crystals take center-stage. Asymmetrical looks are hot, with earring collections in stackable styles making a splash. Bracelet sets are all the rage. I have […]
