I was overjoyed to receive this 14k yellow ring back from the jeweler today. He did an amazing job of setting this heart shape natural wild abalone pearl from the north coast of California. I bought the pearl years ago.. because who can say no to a naturally occuring heart shape NATURAL pearl? The setting was made with the touch of a master, allowing the metal to frame and follow the gentle curves of this amazing pearl. The setting is open in back and the pearl Such a special piece, I thought it deserved a blog of it’s own! Keeping this one is OH so tempting!

A WEEKEND OF WONDER..

We were honored to be guests at the most beautiful wedding of Jeremy and Hisano Shepherd of www.pearlparadise.com . The wedding took place on a 2200 acre ranch just north of Santa Barbara. It was the most beautiful and elegant of celebrations I have ever been to. May your lives together be filled with happiness and fun! Thank you for inviting us to witness your marriage and be guests in such a magical place!
With love for the both of you!

Here are a few photos from this incredible time.

As we all gathered on a grassy bluff overlooking the ocean, these beautiful white parasols were instantly a perfect pairing with the deep blue skies and California sun!

Then came the greatest arrival I have seen to a girls own wedding!

I was too far away to photograph the actual ceremony, but I caught this one of the stunning Hisano in her post ceremony glow.

After the wedding we all drank champagne and feasted on caviar and appetizers at a private beach at the Rancho Dos Pueblos.

The dinner was quite the feast… nestled in this incredible open air barn with chandeliers and pearls on every table for us to take as party gifts! Toasts were made, cupcakes were devoured, dancing ensued and finally the shuttle brought us all safely home with smiles on our faces and a night we’ll never forget.

Thank you pearl people! You celebrate well.. and I am blessed to call you friends!

Congratulations Jeremy and Hisano!
