In honor of February’s birthstone, amethyst, here are two one-of-a-kind custom jewels that celebrate this striking gemstone. 💜
✨
A pear-shaped amethyst pendant, with my client’s children’s initials woven in gold into the setting—a meaningful tribute to their birthstone.
✨
And a bold, handcrafted ring featuring a luminous amethyst cabochon, set in textured 14k yellow gold and accented with vibrant tsavorite garnets for a pop of bright green.
✨
Amethyst pairs beautifully with pink tourmaline and tsavorite, creating a vivid, unexpected contrast.
✨
Do you have a vision for a custom amethyst piece? Let’s bring it to life! ✨

These aren’t just hoop earrings—they’re a journey. My Peekaboo Hoops started as a simple prototype in 2005, and since then, they’ve evolved into one of my most versatile designs.
✨
Twisting gently around the earlobe, each pair features a bezel-set cabochon gemstone that sits just below the ear, adding an effortless and chic pop of color. Over the years, I’ve worked with a spectrum of stones, from Mandarin garnet and blue sapphire to Ethiopian opal, black onyx, and red garnet.
✨
But the magic doesn’t stop there—you can make these earrings truly your own. I’ve created an array of charms you can hang and layer to customize your look. Whether you’re after subtle sparkle or bold drama, the possibilities are endless.
✨
Swipe through to see how the Peekaboo Hoops have evolved over the years! Which style speaks to you most? Available online at my online store MejiaJewelry.com or @space85jewelry and in person at @atelier_d_emotion

One of my favorite commissions from last year was redesigning this vintage gold ladies’ watch into a stunning modern bracelet! Swipe to the end to see the original piece before its transformation.
✨
To give it new life, we selected a gorgeous raspberry Rhodolite garnet cabochon to replace the watch face and added a small round pink tourmaline where the winder once was. The result? A one-of-a-kind bracelet my client wears often and absolutely loves.
✨
Did you know Garnet is January’s birthstone? It’s beloved not just for its durability but also for its range of rich, vibrant colors—like the deep raspberry hue of this Rhodolite. While red garnet is the most well-known, it also comes in stunning shades of orange, green, and many variations in between. A versatile classic gemstone perfect for any piece.

Sending warm holiday wishes to all, filled with health, happiness, and joy.
✨
The holidays are a time for cherished traditions, and while keeping them alive can sometimes feel overwhelming, I hope we all find moments to pause, savor, and appreciate the little joys shared with loved ones.
✨
This Christmas Eve, I’m embracing the tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes, preparing a mix of my grandmother’s treasured recipes and a few touches of my own. My mom will bring her signature fish salad and baccalà, while I’ll be making fried calamari, shrimp cocktail, spaghetti alle vongole, lobster tails, and baked clams.
✨
What special traditions make your holiday season complete?
✨
Wishing you and yours a holiday filled with love and magic.- xo, Elise
