In the studio – meet Emma

September 7, 2017 by Lisa Lehmann

Hi friends! It has been awhile, hasn’t it? Oh, how I have missed you. I decided it’s time to take back this blog of mine and start writing again.

Studio Jewel is celebrating 15 years in business this year!!!

The question is where do we begin? Let’s get bare bones a bit. A little behind the scenes. Studio Jewel has grown so much. We are celebrating 15 years in business this year. FIFTEEN! That’s huge! Some of you have been with me from the beginning…oh the changes!

One of the best parts? Our team is growing. We are small. But mighty! I want you to get to know them too because they are ridiculously talented! [Read more…] about In the studio – meet Emma

Behind the Scenes – creation of a ring

October 5, 2016 by Lisa Lehmann

My studio – my behind the scenes place – is more than just where I create. It’s my respite. It’s the place where I can walk in. Sit. Feel. It feeds all my creativity. Textures. Lights. It heightens my senses and allows me to just be. But it’s also the place “where the magic happens”. Where I get to breathe life into a piece of metal and see it become something beautiful. I love that. I am extremely grateful for the gifts I have been given, and that not only do I get to do what I love, I am privileged to create for others. To bring them joy in something as simple as a piece of jewelry.

Today I thought I would give you a tiny glimpse into the steps that go into the fabrication of one of my favorite rings. Delicate and feminine yet also statement making and powerful. That’s how I feel when I wear this design.

This is how she becomes.

Birthday. Celebration. College. Teenagers.

August 20, 2015 by Lisa Lehmann

I believe with all my heart that a birthday is monumental. I mean think about it. A trip around the sun. That’s HUGE. And should be celebrated. No matter what age.

My birthday is coming up. Two weeks from today. It also happens to be the day my girl goes to college. She’s ready. I’m ready. No I’m not. Yes I am. I think I’m ready. I will be ready.

This is hard.

She’s my oldest girl. Very much a first born, yet second in line to her brother by only 15 months. To “lose” two kids to college back to back is some sort of cruelty. You think it’s all fun and games having “almost Irish twins” until they leave you, one after the other. Last year when the “man child” left it created a void, an emptiness – he is my only son and I adore that boy. He gets me. We are very alike in many ways. But yet, I was so happy and excited to watch him leave, see him soar.

I feel the same about Anneke. Excited FOR her. She’s so ready to fly. But she will leave a gaping hole…in my heart…in this home. She kind of has a “large” personality. You KNOW when she’s in the room. You KNOW when she comes home. Shoot…we even know when she walks out the door! But…she also works with me. Exercises with me. Cooks with me. Talks TO me. Even sometimes finishes my sentences. She steals my clothes. And my makeup. She drives me crazy and leaves messes EVERYwhere. I will feel her leaving. And I will miss her. These are the moments you cannot prepare for. No books. No seminars. No manual. The gut wrenching moment when you have done all you can do and you just.let.go. It’s beautifully painful.

teenagers. letting go. sending them off to college ready to soar.

That being said. My birthday will not have the joyous feeling of celebration that it should! So. I have an idea. Last year I did something crazy. Really crazy. It was a true StudioJewel.com extravaganza. And I loved it. Giving back to you is what brings me great joy! Let’s do it again!

I am sending the details via my newsletter. But therein is the caveat. You need to actually GET my newsletter. Time to sign up if you haven’t already. Here is the link —–> CLICK ME <—— fairly painless. Need a button. I have one of those too.

For Email Marketing you can trust.

I’ll get you all the nitty gritty out to you in the next day or two. Thanks for celebrating with me. And while you’re at it. A hug or two won’t hurt. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need it.

Oh and just because I think this is a fairly awesome family photo Anneke took of all of us I thought you should see it. Our new TV show starts in the fall. Kidding. But seriously. Isn’t it a great image? We are not actually as cool as we look! LOL!

the lehmann family. teenagers. growing up. parenting. and letting go. there are no manuals for this.

How to be in the know when it comes to Studio Jewel

November 20, 2014 by Lisa Lehmann

It’s that time of year and I’m already feeling the pressure of Christmas. I love it. I hate it. I think I plan for it…mentally. Yet I never do. But really…YOU never want the same thing. So basically? It’s your fault! Just being full out honest here! {wink}

It is the time of year I travel from studio to kitchen to studio to bed, with an occasional bathroom break. One thing I’m exceedingly grateful for this year? My new studio! I don’t have to go out in the frigid temps. I don’t have to worry about floods. I don’t have to battle swarms of flies or scurrying mice. It’s perfection.

All of that being said means the blogging gets pushed to the wayside and the jewelry production goes wild! Bring on the fire!

I do have some special offers coming up. For Black Friday and Cyber Monday and some one of a kind pieces that will be available to you!

However, there is a catch. Catch is kinda a stupid word. Because I’m not trying to catch you or trick you. Really…I value you and the fact that you take the time to read my ramblings. And I value those who actually read my newsletter that goes out a few times a month. So I don’t want to broadcast my specials for all to hear. I want them to be just that…special. For those of you who share my space and I consider friends.

In order to find out the details of what’s happening you will need to subscribe to my newsletter. No gimmicks. No sales-y pitch. No…but wait…there’s more. Just a private space to share.

If you have not signed up yet…click here —-> HERE. If I knew how to make a flashy button I totally would…but alas, not my skill set! Or click the image right below this text. If you are new, you will even get a 25% off coupon to use on your first purchase. Not too shabby.

Join me?

This isn’t a game for me. And if you know me at all, you totally understand. I like to think of it as if I had my own storefront in which you have to actually open the door and come in. It’s like this:

You see the warm glowing light in the store. You hear music playing. People laughing. The jewelry in the window is beautiful and fun. Nothing like you have seen before. You hesitate. But you decide to take your chances and walk inside. The vintage sleigh bells ring as you open the aqua turquoise wood door. Once inside your senses light up. Smells of coffee and cinnamon. The white twinkling lights strung from the branches above are so inviting. The golden retrievers look up attentively as you walk in, but they don’t bother you…just wag their tails in welcome. The Christmas music plays in the background. The mannequins in the corner are dressed in colorful scarves and draped with necklaces. I put down my tools and walk up and introduce myself…offering you a coffee or hot chocolate. Then I leave you alone. To play. To touch. To try on. This is your space now. I’m just grateful you decided to come in.

That’s my newsletter. Will you join me?

xooxoxoxo
