Here's a little something for the ladies and men, a new unisex piece that I hope you'll really like.

I'm happy to release the Zodiac Necklace, available in each of the 12 Zodiac signs:

Cancer (main poster), Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, and Leo.

Each necklace has a silver sculpted Zodiac charm dangling in the center, strung on a simple gunmetal-colored full prim chain. The necklace is packaged to fit you ladies out of the box, but the fit on the chain has been laid out so with a simple stretch it should sit perfectly on the shoulders of you men as evidenced by the product poster.

Each necklace is L$150 and is sold separately.

Express yourself with your own Zodiac necklace -- whether it's your RL birthday or your SL rezday, this simple piece is fun and attention-getting.

The Zodiac collection is currently available at the Gallinas Shopatorium store and our mainshop at Subtle Submission.

Happy shopping!

Sable Rose Jewelry is proud to participate in the Make Him Over Hunt, just for all you guys out there! The hunt runs from June 1-30 and more details can be found at their blog here.

Now you know, you men out there, PAY ATTENTION, YOU MEN! I love you men! I am a great fan of men. I am VERY APPRECIATIVE, OF THE MENS. Heck, all of ya.

So, I put together a three-pack for you to grab during the hunt at the Gallinas Shopatorium Sable Rose Jewelry store.

The Walkabout set features three different men's short necklaces, not quite chokers but almost. They come in variations of wood and metal, ranging from Sand -- the most distressed of the three featuring barnwood and rusted metal, to Silver -- with rich deep tones of lacquered rosewood and silver beaded accents, to Gold -- with warm sunset shades of lacquered oak and maple wood, and golden metal accents.

So there you go, men, you can't say I never did anything for you -- and make sure you stop in and take a peek at the other men's and unisex styles available! Truth be told ... I know a lot of ladies who wear the men's pieces too. So I suppose there's something for everyone.

Speaking of another unisex piece, the Triple Chain Ankh is getting a price cut!

Now I know Skinny Rosie is the model on this advert, but that doesn't mean the Ankh isn't simple or bold enough for you guys, too. I know quite a few guys who have worn and continue to wear it. Stop in and pick it up for the new price, and don't forget to hit the mainstore at Subtle Submission to check out the collaborative Ankh tattoos created by Guenevere DeCuir of .:CoLLisions:.!

C'mon, make those grabby hands and stop in to scope things out and pick up a bold piece at a bargain. <3

Whether you're checking out Sable Rose or the other talented creators on-site or looking for a shop of your own, we hope to see you!

On Saturday at 7am SLT, I was proud to participate in the Primal Elegance Jewelry Installation at Shengri-La, put on by the Fashion Research Institute.

Shenlei Flasheart created a really unique venue for displaying jewelry, and three jewelry stores participated -- Sable Rose, Eclectica, and Cocoon.

The installation was a static installation, which meant the models didn't move around like in a regular fashion show. Instead, the guests entered the installation and went from exhibit to exhibit, looking at the jewelry and the models. The models were draped over chaise lounges wearing black dresses, and the entire installation was blacked out except for the small vignettes featuring one model, a chaise, a fireplace, and a photograph of the jewelrly piece or set on exhibit.

I was asked to display the Lovesong necklace, the Ballad necklace and earring set, the Zoe celtic cross women's version in gold/opal, and the Starlin necklace and earring set.

Invitees and visitors and guests lined up before the 7am SLT start time, and a great time was had by all. I saw some old friends and made some new ones, and thank you very kindly to everyone who attended. I'm sure I speak for all three designers when I say we were thrilled at the turnout and I sincerely hope everyone found some amazing new things to take home with them.

I was proud and honored to be exhibited in the company of two other talented ladies, and I'm quite grateful.

Now at the Sable Rose location in Gallinas ONLY!

One of the things I like about the Sable Rose store in Gallinas is it's only steps away from the Isabel Infohub and The Shelter, two very newbie-friendly areas. When I set up the space, I decided I was going to not only have my regular selection of freebies at the store, but also some special gifts for avatars under 60 days old.

We were all new once, and I feel good knowing that by setting something like this up I am -- in a roundabout, but simple way -- giving back a little by helping folks the way I had folks to help me.

Thanks to a script by the very talented Nekololi Woodget, the under-60-day-old gifts are now packed upand ready to go. They're on one side of the display stand in the center of the store at Sable Rose.

The ladies' gift has previous limited-editoin freebies like the hearts necklace from Valentine's Day that is no longer available, full-prim necklaces like the Regal emerald necklace, and other surprises.

The men's gift has a variety of the Sable Rose men's wrist wraps in different textures, a pair of hammered silver wrist cuffs, and the popular Corkscrew Choker that hangs on the wall a couple of meters away still for sale in the shop.

I tried to put a nice variety of things, 6-8 things in total, in each gift. If you know of newbies who are in need of a little accessory help, or if you (or your alt) are one yourself, send them by the Sable Rose shop in Gallinas to pick up their gift.

But isn't sablerosejewelry.com more fun?

Back before the Twisted Hunt, I was asked to create some handcuff-themed jewelry. It ended up being fairly popular, or at least generating some interest, which led folks to ask me to make different pieces.

After the Twisted hunt, I figured I wouldn't be making any more handcuff jewelry, but I seem to be on this kick lately of building things into sets, or at least making lots of matching components available.

So, after reworking my vendor prims and adverts into a more cohesive style, AND after adding a few more pieces to round out the collection, I'm happy to show the new and improved handcuff-themed jewelry available at Sable Rose.

The Kept Choker Set is a 2-set of handcuff chokers, one with a lock that reads "kept" and one with the key. These chokers, unlike other Sable Rose pieces, are NO COPY - Mod - YES TRANSFER so you can purchase the set, keep one for yourself, and give one to your significant other. They're unisex so they should be giftable upon avies of any and all genders, shapes and sizes. This was the Twisted Hunt gift which I have subsequently released with these transfer permissions after I got a lot of requests for it.

NEW Handcuff Earrings/Ear Cuffs! These are brand new to the collection. A pair of tiny handcuffs, these attach to your ears near the top of the ear, and drape down.

NEW Handcuff Bracelets (Pair)! These are also brand new. A matching pair of handcuff bracelets, with interlocking handcuffs in the style of the Kept chokers.

The Open Handcuff Necklace is a unisex necklace featuring small handcuffs suspended from a silver chain, with the bottom cuff being left open. Comes with two necklaces for one price, one sized for smaller/thinner/women avatars and one for larger/broader/male avatars.

Handcuff Jewelry Set! This set includes both sizes of the Open Handcuff Necklace, a pair of handcuff bracelets, and a pair of handcuff ear cuffs for plenty of handcuffy mix and match goodness. Save L$100 off the price of all three by buying the set.

In the realm of more piercings, the Snakebite Lip Piercing features two tiny cuffs pierced through the lower lip, connected by a very tiny full-prim chain.

The open handcuff labret piercing has a ruby stud plus a tiny set of silver handcuffs that hang under the lower lip, with the bottom cuff left open.

And the Open Handcuff Navel Piercing is the same open cuff design, but this time hanging from a belly ring with a silver ball.

And, for you bargain handcuff shoppers, the piercings are offered in a combination set that includes the snakebites, the labret, and the navel piercing. Save L$150 off the cost of all three and buy the set.

The handcuff jewelry collection is available at all the Sable Rose locations, including:

I'm really, really proud to say that Sable Rose just opened a satellite shop in the fashion shopping district of Creve Coeur (SLURL).

Creve Coeur is the brainchild of Babyhoney Bailey and Waverly Kline, and is an absolutely beautiful shopping-and-event area with tons to see and tons to do. The build is quite amazing, peaceful and urban, and somewhere I can see myself spending a lot of time.

The Sable Rose shop isn't far from the park, and I'm really excited that I share the sim with the likes of Aoharu, Atomic, Axel, Boutique, CNS Emotion, El'N, Fukumi Clothing, Fear & Clothing, Malt, Minettes, Mudhoney, Modd. G, Naith Smith Designs, Pididdle, Pig, +Plus, Pretzel Poses, Punch Drunk, Subtle Submission, Tiny Bird, The Obscene, and Urban Dysfunction.

YOU CANNOT TELL ME YOU WILL NOT FIND SOMETHING YOU LIKE HERE, PEOPLE. Seriously, whether you come for Sable Rose or you come for the other amazing retailers, just make sure you come and browse around at all the unique styles available here.

The Creve Coeur fashion district also has its own blog: http://crevecoeursl.wordpress.com/
