Don your mask with style!
No more putting your mask on your chin or placing it on the table to collect or spread germs, blow away, or wonder which pocket you put it in...
I partnered with Desert Dog Designs in Albuquerque to create these wonderful little pieces of jewelry. I wanted to address two things with these:
1. The convenience of taking off and putting on a mask
2. Expressing your fashion while wearing a mask
Each piece of jewelry was designed and is hand-fashioned by Lauren Ball at Desert Dog Designs. Each botanical is set in resin* by Lauren, then assembled with hand-dyed silk, nickle-free and lead-free charms, pendants and clasps.
Each silk ribbon is approximately 18 inches long before the jewelry is added making each final piece about 25 inches long from clasp to clasp.
We are currently offering two designs:
Zodiac Charm and Botanicals design
This design features silver plated pendants with real purple and white flowers with ferns resting atop a shimmering blue backdrop. Combined with customizable zodiac charms & beads**, the lanyard is made with a comfortable hand dyed smokey silk ribbon. There are two large silver lobster clasps to attach to the bands of your favorite mask ensuring your mask is safe and secure when not in use. A helpful and chic way to make your mask unforgettable! Chose your zodiac in the drop-down menu.
Botanical Pendants design
Similar to the Zodiac design, this design features wooden, or metalic (silver or bronze plated) pendants with real purple and white flowers with ferns resting atop a shimmering backdrop. The lanyard is made with a comfortable hand dyed smokey silk ribbon. There are two large lobster clasps to attach to the bands of your favorite mask ensuring your mask is safe and secure when not in use. Click Here to view this design option.
After Masks aren't required...
Here's the best part: When you no longer need to carry your mask with you, these beautiful pieces of jewelry include a conversion kit so they can be used with your favorite eye glasses!!

Zodiac Charms & Botanicals Jewelry Lanyard
The jewelry clips to the loops of your mask and can be done before wearing then place over the head or while wearing and placed behind the neck.
I've had some fun tying a knot on the mask loops so the bontanicals and charms hang like earings (I've never had my ears pierced, so that a lot of fun for me!).
When sitting at a restaurant, driving, or other times having your mask up isn't required, you can simply let it hang down at your neck.
The clasps are large enough that if you are "double masking" you can easily fit both mask loops in the lanyard.
When masks are no longer a neccesity, the jewelry can be converted to hold eyeglasses with the included kit. Simply place the rubber and metal holders on your glasses, tighten, then clip the remaining loop to the lobster clips. We are looking at other conversion options to offer as well.
