next adventure: nantucket!

I'm off to nantucket for a long weekend with my family. I'm looking forward to time at the beach, exploring the island, reading by the pool, and wearing my coral jewelry. follow my adventures on twitter (@KNBsparkle) and instagram (@KatieBartels).

have a great weekend!

permanent summer collection

a few years ago I made a few necklaces with coral and gemstone starfish and they were such a success that I decided to make them part of a permanent summer collection. the designs are inspired by childhood summers in rhode island and cape cod, and recent summers in the hamptons and nantucket, where most days were spend playing in the ocean. these preppy statement necklaces are perfect for an afternoon by the pool, cocktails on the beach, or a clambake.
