The Salt Water Taffy Collection
This collection of vibrant gems is named after one of my favorite childhood, boardwalk treats: salt water taffy. Opals in shades of blue, green, and pink, along with tourmaline and moonstone are all present in the collection. Despite its name, salt water taffy doesn't have any salt water taffy in it!
The Story:
The candy was given its name in the 1890s in Atlantic City, New Jersey by a man named Bradley. He operated a taffy stand on the boardwalk, and one night, the taffy stand had an unwelcome visitor. The ocean rushed up onto the boardwalk, flooding his stand. The next day, when a little girl asked for some taffy, he sarcastically called it “salt water taffy”. Luckily for Mr. Bradley, some female relations overheard his remark and recognized a catchy phrase when they heard one. Soon thereafter Mr. Bradley’s taffy became “Salt Water Taffy”, and that is how it all began.

Magical
This piece is just absolutely stunning and unique. The antique pocket watch repurposed as a locket is genius, adding the little bunnies along with the other beautiful gems adds whimsical beauty. The gems chosen to make the necklace are a perfect complement to add beauty but let the locket shine. The Bijou Babe always gets it right - this piece is absolutely divine!

This bunny is the bomb! He is so magical, this is such a chic and fun piece with the cute bunny adorned with elegant pearls and teal silk for that wonderful pop of color. Susan always sources the most amazing pieces and has the creative intuition to pair and accent them perfectly!

Moss Amethyst Necklace
First purchase
I love the piece. The beads were a little smaller than they looked on the website. It is very pretty though. Thinking of adding the
Tourmaline one.
