Jewelry Inspired by Trips and Travels

A Magnificent Yearning - travel inspired jewelry

by Amy Barnett 

On SALE at the upcoming Coolidge Days 

October 4-5, 2014



Here are examples of some of the jewelry that will be available:

Once the Euro became the currency of choice in most of Europe, I had lots of "unusable" coins (and a few "devalued" ones from Russia and Ukraine.) I even have a few from places yet to explore...



Found a new use for my old kopek coins in stackable watch bands.
Chunky "Shabby Chic" bracelets in honor of the weekend markets in the South of France.
Nothing says "Arizona" like a chunk of turquoise and a thunderbird.
Memories of Venice, pearls of green and blue and an up-cycled vintage golden earring.

A sampling of a few more one of a kind stone pendants and statement necklaces...

Travel: Filling the Chasm


I am not sure what prompted me to be so honest today and put my feelings about life and travel down for all of cyberspace to see....but, here it is.

"I always thought that by now I would have a husband, children and a garden, but that hasn't happened yet. So, I fell in love with grand canals, playfully counted steps as I climbed to the tops of towers and planted my feet firmly in the clouds.

Travel fills a part of me that was once a chasm."
