Lady of the Rings

The bunny has abandoned his basket (if only those chocolate eggs didn’t go directly from mouth to thighs), south-shore surf is beginning to rise, and the stronger sun has you trading jeans and wraps for short skirts once again.
Yes, what we’re trying to say is, spring has sprung – the perfect season to hunt for Jools’ bold new jewelry line now out in stores.
The newest addition to Hilo-girl-now-LA-resident Sybil Shimazu’s elegantly affordable handmade jewelry line is the basic ring, but in far-from-plain styles that reflect her signature feminine yet unconventional look. Choose from a faceted nugget band in sterling silver and gold vermeil, a lacy flower filigree in sterling and 24k-plated gold, and a green amethyst wire dangle. And when her vibrant summer line addition hits stores mid-April, look out for a must-have green mojave turquoise rectangle resting on a gold-filled wrapped wire as just one new offering.
Of course there are fields of stylish new Jools pieces to covet, especially unexpected pairings such as a square cowrie shell bracelet, gold hoops adorned with pearl wreaths, and a hammered gold vermeil circle necklace.
Good thing springing for new jewelry is never out of season.
