5 out of 5 starsSuch an exquisite little necklace -- a delicate cord, with tiny beads drawing the eye to the Gray Labradorite drop. Works as well for that little black dress as it does for the t-shirt and jeans. As the description says: "...Casual, Elegant." This is a gift for a new friend, which I hope she'll like! Thanks!

5 out of 5 starsI could see from the site photo these earrings have a lovely delicate quality without seeming 'girlish.' When they arrived, I was delighted to see they have a simple elegance which is eye-catching without being fussy. Perfect length and wonderful clever design!

5 out of 5 starsBetter than I hoped for! IMHO, Green Labradorite isn't easy to balance well in a bracelet, but it turned out lovely: olive green leather, olive weaving thread, olive and dark sienna wrapping cord, with a filigree bronze button and end beads. The bracelet has an antique quality which adds depth and even a touch of mystery...more than just an attractive bracelet! Plus the sheer skill involved the the winding, wrapping, and composition. Lovely!

Sharing with islanders - SMILES all around
SAILORmade ARTISTdesigned - one of a kind adornments by Monique Burgess
When the kids were toddlers, we sailed away. Far away. After 2 years of cruising family life, we knew we had to do it again when they were older. In 2008, we did just that. NEWPORT, Rhode Island to AUCKLAND, New Zealand.
Just the 4 of us.
Living on a 48-foot catamaran for a few years will alter your world...for the better. It was then I realized my need to create jewelry was more than a hobby, it was a craving, a necessity.
I fell in love with natural objects, beach treasures, and textures. These common things are beautifully manipulated by island cultures. Their jewelry and lifestyle touched my world in many ways.
My designs are inspired by red coral REEFS submerged in turquoise waters and dotted with tropical fish, lush mountains that shoot straight out of the OCEAN, FAMILY hikes to waterfalls, and of course, coiled ROPE, taught lines, vertical halyards, grainy TEAK wood, critical shiny cleats and colorful SPINNAKERS. Some of these items painted my daily scenes, others were my foundation, my insurance, my safety.
If something doesn't FEEL comfy around my wrist or neck, it will never come out of my jewelry box. Wearing my items, you'll find them molding to your body, absorbing your natural oils and curves. After a few times, they should slip on with ease.
My FIRST MATE and I will return to the watery life of cruising again. It's a DREAM we could live over and over. Fortunately, my jewelry supplies are portable and will join me on my global adventures.
