The First Tiaras I Ever Made

As we are spring cleaning here in the studio and making room for new designs.... I came across the first tiara I ever worked on. It was actually designed for my own wedding, back in 2002. This tiara is a wire sculpted feather entwined with tiny Swarovski crystals. I chose black diamond AB crystals because they shimmer like no other (I also sewed them onto my dress).

I did not end up wearing this piece, I thought it was a bit over the top for the look I was going for. I instead took the time to design another tiara. This one is a "halo" of wire with crystals; and made a debut on our website back in 2003! It was actually a great seller for me in those beginning days.

The final product with the dress and hair actually came out quite Cinderella-esque.. which really isn't even me at all.. however I can say with certainty that it was the best wedding of my life and I have no regrets!

I knew when I was planning my wedding that I had found my career in the bridal industry as a jewelry and headpiece designer. What an exciting time!
