Nope, it's not the name of what I'm drinking right now.
What it is though is a lovely shop on
Artfire owned by
Roxanne, an award-winning artist who creates quality, one-of-a-kind jewelry with an Asian flavor. Why Asian flavor? Well, she lived in Asia for a time and that was where her interest in making jewelry was developed. She says it all started with pearls -- yup, those pearls get you all the time!
Roxanne has several techniques for jewelry-making up her creative sleeve - she's into wire-wrapping, metal working, glass fusing and also works with precious metal clay.
Take a look at some of the pretties in her shop
And let's not forget, some choice pieces for Valentine's Day
There are also some pieces with a
cool vibe
And these little
Pagoda Earrings are just soooo cute!
Shanghai Tai offers a wide range of pieces in different styles so I'm sure there will be something there that you will fall in love with. Personally, I can't keep my eyes off those earrings! She creates pieces for the blushing
bride too -- so now we know where to go after that pearl bracelet is unwrapped on Valentine's Day, right ladies? And there's a whole section in her shop that's just full of pieces with a
heart-theme.
Roxanne insists she's still a "work-in-progress" and is deep in the hunt for her signature style. Looking at all these pretties, I can definitely say her signature is: AMAZING.
