New New News: Leaf Cross, Tree Pose & Grow Necklaces


Here Are some great pendants that are some of my personal favorites. The Leaf Cross has a tiny diamond in the center and the carving is beautiful. I've given these as baby gifts and also wear one myself - its so simple but eye catching. The pendant is about 1/4 inch tall.


The Tree Pose Necklace is another one of my loves. One side depicts a carved tree with a tiny diamond and the other side is carved to say "tree pose." Inside the 1/2 tall pendant are faceted London blue topaz, sky blue topaz, and rhodolite garnet that rattle around. The colors will sparkle and catch your eye, and its so fun to wear.


The largest necklace is the Grow Necklace, with one side depicting a leaf vine and the other is carved to say Grow. There are two options for the stones that rattle inside: one version has green apetites and tourmalines, the other version has moonstone, pink pearl and pink tourmaline. This pendant is about 1 inch tall and hangs on a 36 inch chain which has a leaf with a phrase written on it.
Catch these items and the other ones I've blogged about tomorrow at the Cannon Lewis Website Window Event, Starting Monday at 9am eastern ... happy shopping.

New New News: Large Willow Earrings




If you loved the Medium Willow Earrings, here is another option for you ... LARGE Willow Earrings. These earrings will take any outfit to a new level. These earrings have a tiny diamond set in them and measure about 1 3/4 inches tall by 3/4 inch wide and come in two options, sterling silver with 14k gold overlay, often called vermeil, which is then satin-finished for a smooth shine. If you want something to go with the leather jacket trend this fall, or are just drawn to silver in general, the satin finished silver might be your option of choice. Either way, they are amazing earrings, and you will be stopped and asked about them when you wear them.

There is a tiny saying engraved on the back - its something my grandmother always tells me - "Be a willow, not an oak. Willows bend, oaks break." These will be featured in the Website Window Event on Monday, September 28, 2009.

Define: Website Window Event

For those of you wondering exactly what a Cannon Lewis Website Window Event is, here is your answer. Every few months there are events on the website where certain pieces of jewelry are reduced in price for a short two day window. After the two days, the price goes back to the retail price. This is a way I can test the market with some of my newest designs, and offer you a really good price on the latest jewelry, so everyone wins. If you are not on the mailing list, you might want to get on it so you can start receiving these window event emails. To join the mailing list click here. The next Website Window Event is Monday, September 28, 2009, so standby for some of my favorite new designs.

New New News: Medium Willow Earrings

These Earrings are Fabulous! I've been wearing mine almost every day, and they are a great size (drop is about 1 1/4 inch tall) which means you can wear them with just about anything. They are sterling silver with 14k gold overlay, often called vermeil, which is then satin-finished for a smooth shine. There is a tiny diamond set in each earring, which adds a nice sparkle, and the earrings have a tiny line texture, which makes them just sparkle. And the best part? There is a tiny saying engraved on the back - its something my grandmother always tells me - "Be a willow, not an oak. Willows bend, oaks break." These will be featured in the Website Window Event on Monday.
