Summer Designs In Full Swing

color_fever_lizcolor_fever_eventLeft Turn’s spring trunk show was the talk of the town last month. Judy’s spring and summer gemstone designs were inspired by color and bold imagination. The festivities started at 2pm and ran until 6pm in the fashionable patio room at Scott’s Seafood. Guests enjoyed champagne, seafood appetizers and one-on-one time with Left Turn’s designer Judy Klimek. “It was so exciting to see the women who attended enjoy the colorful designs I created for the summer season. My favorite part was to have them explore new territory and really let their hair down with such different designs then they’re used too. It surely was an exciting opening to Left Turn and we can’t wait to do it again,” Judy said.

Thank you to Scott’s Seafood Restaurant and the women who attended our first trunk show for making it such a huge success.

Aquamarine, Springtime Fever

freshbasil_frontAquamarine the color of a calm tropical sea is an excellent gemstone perfect for spring and summer. The color range includes pale blue, medium blue, bright blue, blue-green, and light green. Its light blue arouses feelings of sympathy, trust, harmony and friendship. Blue aquamarine is a divine, eternal color, also the color of water with its life-giving force. And aquamarine really does seem to have captured the lucid blue of the oceans. No wonder, when you consider that according to some legends, aquamarine originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids, and has, since ancient times, been regarded as the sailors’ lucky stone. Its name is derived from the Latin ‘aqua’ (water) and ‘mare’ (sea). It is said that its strengths are developed to their best advantage when it is placed in water, which is bathed in sunlight.

Featured in The Blog today is Fresh Basil a very earthy and natural design from Judy. This lovely necklace design has a light green rough aquamarine nugget spearing into a divine single layer of hand hammered crystal quartz. The design is beautiful, exotic and unmatched to anything on the market today. For more information on Fresh Basil please call us at 866-954-5338. This necklace will be featured at our Laguna Beach store before added to our website. For store location and hours please click here.
