Rose Gold

Virgin River fans... have you seen season 6 yet?  There were so many plot line turns and twists this round, leaving room for many new questions to be answered in the next season.  We are already fans of the show but the icing on the cake is seeing Saressa Designs being worn along the way! 

This season we spotted 3 pieces on the show... Our Crest Necklace in Obsidian (repeat from S5), Our Gable Necklace and our Poppy Necklace!  Keep an eye out and see if you can spot each one (some easier than others).

Crest Necklace - Worn again by the beautiful Lark (Elise Gatien) in Ep 1

Gable Necklace - Worn by the adorable Hannah (Clare Filipow) in Ep 9

Poppy Necklace - Worn by glowing Tara (Stacey Farber) in Ep 9 - 10.  It was good to see her back! 

Season 7 cannot come soon enough, and we hope to spot more pieces! It has been such a privilege to have any pieces worn on this show, and being super fans of the show already has made this a little extra sweet. 

Shop these pieces and more in our As Seen On section of the shop.  They make wonderful, practical and lasting gifts for loved ones that are fans of these shows!

 Thanks to everybody who weighed in on which necklace I should send to the wardrobe stylist for The Vampire Diaries. It was such a hard decision to pick just ONE design to send. I put a lot of thought into my choice, which was influenced by all my voters (especially the ones who are die-hard fans of the show). In the end, my 'bleeding love' necklace was the one chosen. It's headed to TVD and hopefully will find a home around the neck of one of the amazing characters (though I intend it for a specific person on the show). 

In all honesty, I named this necklace 'bleeding love' with a specific person in mind; my mom-in-law. Ruby is her birthstone, so when I first put this piece together, I was trying to think of something she would treasure. I was also inspired by her never-ending love for her family and all she does constantly to show us that love. 

So, with that said, let's see how many varieties of love stories this bad boy can inspire! :)

A week ago tonight I was feeling pretty anxious as the GBK Luxury Gift Lounge honoring the 2012 MTV Movie Awards had taken place, and I wanted to know how it went. This is was my first time ever participating in any big event like this where my designs would be on display, handled by celebrities, members of the press and many other people. It took me 6+ years to gather the nerve to simply get serious about my Etsy shop, so this felt like a huge step forward. I am SO THANKFUL I had the opportunity to participate in this event and am already seeing positive outcomes. A special edition of my Delgado necklace was on display. This one: http://www.saressadesigns.com/collections/necklaces/products/delgado-necklace-special-edition

The GBK Luxury Gift Lounge honoring the 2012 MTV Movie Awards is in full swing now!  The fun started at 11am PST this morning and will go through 7pm tonight, then repeat again tomorrow. There have already been some amazing celebrities stop by and visit The Artisan Group, each of which has walked away with a swag bag full of goodies that include a pair of my Rose Gold Hoops! If you want to see who's stopping by, follow along on my Twitter feed:  https://twitter.com/#!/saressadesigns

Want some hoops too? You can grab a pair here:  http://www.saressadesigns.com/collections/earrings/mtv-movie-awards

It is surreal to me that it is only a matter of weeks until the 2012 MTV Movie Awards takes place. It seems like I just received the confirmation email that my jewelry would be included in 100 celebrity swag bags, and now those 100 pair of rose gold hoops are packaged and ready to ship to California tomorrow morning along with my special edition Delgado necklace. I will be holding my breath until FedEx confirms that my boxes arrive safely at their destination, and then I'll be able to relax for a few weeks until the gift lounge, hosted by GBK,takes place. It has been a long time coming and a lot of hard work to juggle this project along with a few others in the works, so I'm really excited and ready to enjoy this experience. 

The Saressa Designs jewelry for 2012 MTV Movie awards swag bags has finally been decided. 100 pairs of my signature 14K Rose Gold hoops will be added to the swag bags in various colors. Right now you can purchase these hoops right here in Aqua Quartz, Olive Jade and White Jade. Four new colors will be added to the mix for a variety of 7 colors. These colors include some great additions for the Spring-Summer season including tangerine and mustard. All 7 colors will be available here at Saressa Designs in the coming weeks, so be sure to grab your favorite pair!

 The Artisan Group will also have a display table at the 2012 MTV Movie awards, where all artists contributing to the celebrity swag bags will also have one of their hand crafted items on display for celebrities to examine and enjoy. My Delgado necklace (Vintage Horseshoe) has been chosen for the display table, but it will be modified in a limited edition design in 14K Gold Filled, and made extra long for a bohemian feel. This necklace may be available for purchase as well on a limited edition basis, or while supplies last.  I will have more updates as preparations progress. 

 Overall, there is a lot of work to be done and I'm really excited for the opportunity to participate in such a major event. Thanks for following along with me and if you have any specific questions or inquiries, send me an email at info@saressadesigns.com

Love, Rachel
