We are starting the year off right presenting an out of this world deal from the lovely Sherry of Esse Jewels!  Sherry is offering a whopping 50% off select items in her gemstone jewelry shop! AMAZING!!!

Sherry says "I make things I want to wear. I create each piece using all natural ingredients - from the ground, baby! With occasional vintage elements for spice. Quality is my watchword: I only design with authentic, mined gemstones, sterling silver and freshwater pearls. If I add a vintage element, it is authentic."

We love Sherry's philosophy: "Jewelry created from naturally mined stones, sterling silver, freshwater pearls. If it comes from the earth, it's all good with me. I design what I want to wear: versatile go-to pieces that you'll reach for time after time."
