New at Sable Rose Jewelry, another something sparkly for the ladies. I was in the mood to create something a little more feminine that actually qualifies as sort of dressy, so here's Zydeco!

If you were around in the 80s and 90s, then you will remember twisted strands of pearls, stones or beads held together with a front-clasp brooch. I've recreated that style here with two different varieties of monochromatic color ranges. The sets can be dressed up or down depending on what you choose to wear them with -- cute kicking around in jeans or beautiful with your nicest dancing dress.

The "Black" Zydeco set includes a triple-strand twist necklace with beads in black, grey and lighter grey, meeting in the front with a large marquise-cut faceted black brooch and silver accents. Comes with two necklaces, chest AND spine attach. The set is completed with right and left matching bracelets and matching earrings in sort of a twisted, dangling cascade.

The "Light" Zydeco set includes the same pieces as the "Black" set but this time in varying shades of creamy, pearly off-white, with the clasp on the necklace a large, marquise-cut faceted white brooch with silver accents. Bracelets and earrings also included in the matching colors, and the light set also has the chest and spine attach options on the necklace.

Both sets are full mod, no scripts, and will be available on XstreetSL for gifting as soon as it stops glitching for me. If you would like to gift it and can't get it on Xstreet today, I would be happy to drop the gift for you myself.

Zydeco is currently available at the Filataponic and Gallinas main shops, in both colors, and will be available at Jewelry Fair which starts this Friday, the 18th.

Have a wonderful week and happy shopping! Hope to see you either at the shop or at Jewelry Fair!

Named for my dear friend Bonibaru Navarathna, and inspired by the earthy colors of India, the bangles of Bollywood and amazing content creators inworld like Zaara, this time I really felt a need to create something Eastern and kind of exotic.

The Bonibaru set is available in two color runs: Zen, which features rich, warm, coppery tones of gold metals with turquoise, coral/ruby and citrine; and Lilac Creme, which features the same warm, coppery tones on the metals but features tangerine and sea-foam opals, amethysts, and white pearls.

Each set includes:

Bindi (nose attach, and/or chin attach, 2 versions)
Nose ring (nose attach)
Two beaded earrings
Beaded choker
and Right and Left arm bangles.

Both Bonibaru sets are available for L$450/each, C/M/NT, at the Gallinas Sable Rose store and also at the Subtle Submission mainstore.

For gifting, it will soon be on Xstreet but feel free to IM me and I can drop a gift for you in the meanwhile. Happy shopping and happy almost weekend!

Naiad is named for the ancient Greek freshwater nymphs from mythology, is a set made up of large and small freshwater (non-symmetrical) pearls loosely strung into necklace, bracelets and earrings.

The necklace drapes over the shoulders delicately and features hand-textured sculpted pearls of various earthy tones.

The bracelet is a multi-strand, bold piece and the earrings are made of smaller pearls with the same hand-drawn textures.

The Naiad set is available at the Subtle Submission mainstore in Filataponic, in Gallinas at the Shopatorium, and in Creve Coeur, for L$250 for the set.

Don't forget, we're participating in the Make Him Over Hunt at the Gallinas location -- stop in for your free gift.

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:

Iwaa. A Sioux word that means, "Tomorrow." Tomorrow, the promise of new things, the chance to reach dreams, the blessings that will come to us if we are only open to receive them.

The Iwaa set is L$400 for all 5 pieces and is currently available at the Filataponic, Gallinas and Creve Coeur Sable Rose locations.

Back in April, I blogged about the Isadora set which at that time, included a necklace and a set of bangles for the right arm, with a separate bracelet that was in the store's Subscrib-O-Matic.

Then, I went to work on kind of an earring kick, and Isadora was no exception. I added some largeish Gypsy-type bangles that have beads that match the necklace and bracelets, threaded onto them. They have a real organic kind of boho look to them just like the necklace and bracelets.

Then, I waited for Isadora because I truly wanted her to be the model of the set, and then figured since it's been a month since its release I would take the separate wood-and-shell bracelet out of the Subscrib-O-Matic and include it with the set to make it complete.

So! If you missed the bracelet, you MISSED IT!

Presenting the new and imrpoved Isadora set: 5 pieces in total. Necklace, bangle set, left arm bracelet, and two matching hoop earrings.

The new and improved Isadora set is available at:

Individual Isadora pieces are still available for purchase at Holland and Freakheim, but that's a limited time deal. Soon they'll be upgraded to the new, set-only, vendor.

Happy shopping!

I'm proud to announce kind of a triple-whammy today as far as new things.

First things first, the pretty pretties. Or at least, I think they are, and I hope you'll think so too.

Jelivianne, named for and inspired by my friend Jelivianne Grenville, is a hematite set consisting of a draping necklace on a chain of tiny hematite beads, a set of hematite (right arm) bangles, and a pair of bold, chunky stud earrings. L$250 for the set.

Balance is a pearlescent Yin-Yang symbol embedded into a dark silver star, suspended on a dark/black-silver chain. There is also a small yin-yang tag that drapes down the back of the neck, in a matching color to the pendant front. Balance comes with drop earrings featuring the same design as the pendant.

Balance is available in: Black (regular), orange, red, pink, violet, blue, green, and rainbow, and is L$200 in each color for the set.

And don't forget the SL Discovery hunt starting on May 1, we'll be participating. Our gift will be at the Shengri La Vintage Marketplace location, which is a valid location until July 2009.

Those are the new releases for the week of April 27, 2009. Here's the other new news! In conjunction with Marx Dudek (who owns the land), and Noirran Marx (who made the amazing build), I'm really proud to say the first standalone Sable Rose store is now open!

You'll find the new Sable Rose store on Gallinas, on the former site of Little Rebel, just across the Linden Road from The Shelter. Things are still new at the shop but I'll be putting in a selection of freebies and gifties for avies under 60 days as well as avies over 60 days, in the spirit of being so near a well-known infohub and newbie-friendly area.

If you are a shop owner or content creator and would be interested in renting some roadfront space in the same location, contact Marx Dudek inworld. Marx has a bunch of space available here, roadside.

And I hope you'll come by and see the new shop!

Happy shopping!!!

I've spent the afternoon creating earrings to match Ballad (all colors), Luna, Starlin, Isadora, and Tiny Dancer in both Silver and Gold.

I also have managed to update all the vendors into selling them as sets, except for Isadora. I'm waiting for their namesake Isadora to log in so I can re-shoot the vendor pictures, so watch for the new Isadora set including bangles, necklace and earrings, this weekend.

Here's a little taste -- and the Ballad earrings in SILVER are in the Sable Rose Subscrib-O-Matic for this week only if you feel like picking them up.

I will also be updating XStreet with the earrings this weekend.

I hope everyone has a great Friday!
