I admit it: I’m a little OCD. When I got this necklace from Designing Diva, I was a little confused. Was it broken? Why were there hoops only on half? It finally got through my head that it was supposed to be asymmetrical. Ok, I thought, I’ll give it a shot.
I tried it on and fell in love with it. All of my OCD quirks flew right out the window. I paired it with my Proenza Schouler Palm Tree Dress, and it was a hit. The necklace feels like Palm Beach. The gold and turquoise go together beautifully, and the necklace screams summer to me. Worn with that Proenza Schouler dress, I wanted to go party on the beach all night.
The Designing Diva is Randi-Sue, a self-taught jewelry maker who works out of her home in Texas. “Experimenting without rules is so liberating,” she says. She doesn’t look at anything as “wasted material;” instead, it is a “unique design opportunity.” In her “former life” she was a clinical scientist, which fascinates me - it is so rare to find someone who has the brain for science, and the passion for something creative - and is able to do both so well. Ok, I have no idea how good a scientist Randi is. She may be on a Homer Simpson level. But I can attest that her jewelry is fantastic.
Her designs are unique, and her website offers a wide range of styles. Perusing her gallery, you will find pieces that are perfect for earth mothers and pop princesses alike. Many are limited-edition styles, and all are extremely affordable - most pieces are under $30. Quality is not sacrificed for a good price - the piece I have is light and delicate - comfortable to wear - yet very sturdy. I do not worry about breaking this necklace. The Designing Diva will also work with you to create a custom piece of jewelry.

i disagree with the scientist creative thing. my mom and her friend were both scientists working in high level positions. now they quilt and bead. i think that some crafts really lend themselves to the scientific mind, such as quilting because there is so much math and thinking involved (think about really intricate quilts, how do they figure out how to put everything together into the right sized quilt?) so, althoughi havent met any scientist painters or sculpters (not that they arnt out there) i do think that its not that uncommon to have both.
