Le' ale 'a..it means "Pleasure" in Hawaii

It was truly a pleasure "Le' ale 'a" to meet Michelle, she called me looking for some amazing layers of pearls... for a "pre" wedding photo shoot!
I was in Reno visiting my sister when I got her call and just happened to be in an antique store and was happy to find some great old vintage pearls that were all different shapes and sizes..perfect for what Michelle wanted!

When I returned to Arizona I meet with her to drop the pearls off and it was then that Michelle showed me a picture of the necklace she wanted to have made for her Wedding Day! As you can see in the picture I was able to design layers of freshwater pearls just exactly the way she wanted...and I was thrilled to do it!!

When Michelle sent me her wedding photo's I knew I had to have a few for my website so I e-mail Kym Ventola from Ventola Photography. What a Rock Star she is..I had this photo as well as 2 others AND a pleasant little note in about an hour, that is my kind of vendor! Thank-you very much Kym, I really appreciate it very much.

Looking through Jim & Michelle's wedding photo's it was so easy to see how in love they are and how happy they make each other. I know they will cherish their amazing photo's for a lifetime!

Have a wonderful time in Hawaii Michelle & Jim!

Aloha.

Fireworks & Sparklers for me!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July with family and friends! It is actually one of my favorite holidays! Colored lights decorating the night sky!

With that said I want to share another type of sparkler/firework!

I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot for Kim Horne of Arizona Bridal Source with Leanna from Photography by Leanna behind the lens! Here is one of the photo's. I will be posting more soon as well as adding them to a slide show on my website Custom Jewelry by Lani.

The hair & make-up was beautifully done by Shawn at Az lash lady & Lisa of Hair by Lisa. It is always such a treat for me to work on a project and have amazing professional photo's to show off my jewelry!
