You see, there was this necklace...

And so began "a rare thing," the jewelry brand produced by Rara Avis. Actually, my Mom gave me the bug (thanks!) and I ran with it. Soon I will have a full-scale PDF catalog with my current pieces, but if you'd like to see a few pictures of some of my other stuff, go to my website and click on "Projects --> Personal. " If the pictures aren't up yet, then give me a while...I'm a one woman team. If you're interested in commissioning a piece for a gift or for yourself, email me at sballow@ararething.com.

Cheers.
