Speranza is the first shop I've had the pleasure of reviewing and posting about since joining the HAF blog ring. I must say that I feel connected to her on so many levels after reading much of her blog. The jewelry she designs is filled with wonderful tones that feature many blues and browns; while her avatar of a seagull carrying a necklace causes me to think of a bird scouring the shore for hidden treasures to string up and wear. What really made me feel connected to her was her January 1st posting entitled "A hobby or a business?" so many of the issues she addressed I am feeling myself. I truely look forward to following her throughout the coming year and seeing not only her newest creations but hearing how she tackles the challenges facing handmade artisans. Please visit her shop and say hello, do so by January 31st and see the requirements for entering a contest to receive a pair of custom Citrine and Gold Vermeil Earrings.
