Plays Well With Others

The thing that caught my attention at alilsumptinsumptin was the fact that so many of the gorgeous pieces available include work by other artisans. I love that this jewelry artist can take beads and focals created by others and combine them into stunning and unique accessories. That she donates the proceeds from some of the items to charity makes this shop perfect--so go have a look!

Classic Poodle Necklace, with black and white beads torched by Sarah Friskey, and a custom made black dog focal by Janet Crosby, $200



Blue Rondo a la Turk bracelet, with lampwork heart bead by Janet Crosby, $175.00
