Endorsing Some Friends: LuvCherie on Etsy

Not only is Amy Darigol (Etsy's LuvCherie and the wife of former Daily Geek, Grant Darigol) a wonderful human being and all-around good sport, but she also produces fantastic beaded jewelry. That is the art that I want to draw attention to in this post.

The picture below is the first necklace that I've commissioned through her Etsy shop. It is a stylized version of the logo from the costume of The Phoenix, a comic book character from the X-Men. Because I am a nerd.

Although she uses beads, the finished piece resembles jewel-toned woven chain. A photo can't do this necklace justice, because the sparkle and texture aren't properly communicated in 2D.

I wore it to the Emerald City ComiCon this year with a t-shirt, jeans, khaki-denim fitted jacket and I styled my copper-orange hair as best I could to resemble the shape of the famous hairdo from the movie Amelie. I felt so pretty!!!

I completely adore this necklace.

It's bold, so it takes a little extra effort to pull off (no overdoing or underdoing the hair/clothing/makeup), but with the right outfit I really do look my best while wearing it.

Of course I want more.

I am in the early stages of commissioning a second beaded necklace through Amy's Etsy profile that features the characters Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot from the TV show Mystery Science Theater 3000. It is going to be excellent.

Female nerd pride!!! Wooo!!!
