Frieda Sophie Giveaway!!

And I just keep rolling them out! As many of you can see I have tons of giveaway goodness going on!! Gaggles and gaggles of them! And I say why stop when you can have many more!?

Now you ladies might want to sit down because you will positively swoon when you get a glimpse of Frieda Sophie's exquisite line of hand crafted jewelry! And then you will have to sit back down when you get a load of her amazing prices! With the most expensive item in her shop being only $50 and almost everything else for under $30, you're going to thank me because you will be able to buy all your presents in one place (well for the women in your life) without breaking the bank! And I love how she uses such colour and how some colours that you would never think of putting together (hello orange and blue of the Meharet orange carnelian aqua gold hoop earrings) just looks so right!

Here is an interview with the loevley and very talented designer of Frieda Sophie, Sandra:

Name: Sandra Ische
Name of shop: Friedasophie
Location: San Francisco, CA
Favorite item from your shop: Emerald green onyx amethyst gold cluster hoop earrings

Tell us a little bit about yourself:
Hi, i am Friedasophie. I have loved to create art since i was a child. Whenever I'm free, I like to create and explore new ideas. I also sew, which i have inherited from my grandmother who was a fashion designer and my grand-grandmother who was a hat designer. My family and friends always encourage me to keep doing the things I love. That's the reason why I opened my wholesale shop on Etsy. I love creating custom orders for my clients as well as bridsmaids custom color matched pieces.

What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? To become a full time jewelry designer in only 9 months time.

When and what made you want to open up your shop? I wanted to offer pretty natural themed gemstone jewelry at affordable prices, since every woman should be able to afford and own at least 1 piece of beautiful jewelry that compliments her style.

Tell us a little bit more about your creation process: I got to the forest, collect flowers and leaves, press them, draw them and then create gold plate pieces from them
to pair with gemstones.

Where do you draw inspiration for all your amazing designs? I love victorian vintage jewelry and I try to make a modern piece with those influences paired with nature and unusual colors.
If you could be an animal what would you be and why? A penguin, they are cute, lovely and always help each other out.

If you could have one super power what would it be and why? I would make everybody happy.
