Annual Mother's Day at the Hubbell House in Mantorville, MN.


 Annual Mother's Day at the Hubbell House in Mantorville, MN. Mom (Joanne Gray), Me (Jody Gray), my daughter Angie Hoffmann (now, Edge). Mom is wearing an outfit by her favorite QVC designer, Susan Graver. The necklace she's wearing was purchased at the Owatonna Art Center annual pre-holiday event featuring artist-made items: pottery, glass, furniture, jewelry. The pendant is dichroic glass created by the artist; she chose to pair it with black beads and lavender mother-of-pearl teardrops. It was our first Mother's Day without my oldest daughter, JoAnn Knudson (later, Reckinger)

Artisan Dichroic Glass Pendant. Faceted Black Glass Beads and Lavender Mother of  Pearl Necklace. 17" Value $60. My Price $30.

Amy Kahn Russell.

Another one of Mom's necklaces. The designer is Amy Kahn Russell. I Googled, Amy Kahn Russell lavender freshwater pearl necklace. Nothing like it. I found a few freshwater pearl necklaces designed by her that were similar selling from $198 to $280. I have a confession to make. I came across the necklace in a tote of Mom's jewelry that I was going to take apart. It's a little "over the top" for my taste (it's also a very heavy piece). I think the small pearls and the faceted stones (I think they are quartz) would make beautiful necklaces (individually). I don't know what to think of the "spikes". Here's what her website has to say about her: Incorporating natural minerals, pearls, and fossils with semi-precious stones, Amy's designs become wearable pieces of art. Amy Kahn Russell jewelry is internationally sold in museum shops, art galleries, prestigious boutiques, catalogs, and specialty stores. My Price $100. Update. Aug 8, 2023. I found...
