Spotlight: Love Haight Bracelet ($22)

Haight-Ashbury is an intersection in San Francisco in an area famous for the hippie movement of the 60's. I love the colors of this bracelet and they feel very "hippie chic" to me so that's why the name. The bracelet wraps around as one piece and is very comfortable and sturdy.

This bracelet is made with gold plated memory wire, glass, aventurine, quartz and red marble beads.

I have had a few questions about how to order things, and at this point, all you have to do is click on the "Email Me" button, and call or send me an email with the items you want. I take payment through PayPal and am working on getting the process streamlined a little better so that it's easier to purchase. I am still debating over whether or not I want to set up shop with Etsy, but I will keep everyone posted on that. Don't forget to keep entering the giveaway for the week! You have today and tomorrow left!

Giveaway: Manzanita Earrings ($12)

This week for our first ever free giveaway I'm posting the "Manzanita Earrings" (normally a $12 value) pictured below. All you have to do is comment on this blog post to win. You have the whole week to comment (until Thursday at midnight), with a maximum of 3 entries per person. On Friday I will randomly draw one person to win! It's THAT easy! Every week will be a different giveaway, so keep checking back for your chance to win!

(Open to US residents only, standard mail delivery)

These earrings are about 2" long and made with antiqued brass components and glass beads.

Lost & Found: Cheery Cherry Bracelet ($48)

So today would have been the day I announced the winner of the weekly giveaway, but since I haven't posted any new jewelry this week, I thought I'd add my new favorite Lost & Found piece, the "Cheery Cherry Bracelet" ($48). The flower is a vintage brooch (obviously with some wear, which is one of the reasons why I love it!) with red glass beads and a gold plated clasp to finish it off. I used beading thread instead of wire to wrap the brooch around the beads for comfort and to avoid scratching the piece any more than it already is. It is going to be very hard for me to part with this one, because I absolutely love the way it turned out. If you are interested, let me know, because this is truly one of a kind and probably won't last long!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be back Monday to start off the week with our first FREE giveaway! Make sure to tell your friends!

Here's the deal...

Things are going to be different now. I'm going to start posting 3 days a week; Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Mondays I will be announcing the weekly "giveaway" of my choosing, and anyone that comments throughout the week will be entered to win. (More details this coming Monday) Wednesdays I will be spotlighting my new favorite piece, or talking about whatever I want to talk about! Then Fridays I will announce the winner of the drawing and give any updates on the happenings of Ruth Parker Jewelry. I'm excited! I have a lot of work to do this week so I will see you Friday!

FYI: I'm still alive...

Hello? Anyone out there? In case you were wondering, I'm still here, and ready to get down to business. My blog is currently under construction as you may have noticed, but I will be up and running again soon. I am so excited to share my new ideas and get back to work with Ruth Parker! Let me know what you think of the new space and thanks to LaDitta Design for the amazing work!
