Sum-Sum-Summertime! - Original Sin Jewelry

Howdy Jewelry Fans! Can you feel the excitement?? The days have stretched themselves out like a lazy cat on a scratching post. Or maybe a warm weather nap in a box that's meant for Wyoming? This picture is really of my cat, Snow, The Inspector Primus. He seems to be enjoying his afternoon nap right in the middle of my work table.)  I've caught a whiff of sunscreen and have been daydreaming of pina coloadas and margaritas at a poolside bar next to a golden sand beach. YESSSSSS!!! And while I'm not a kid anymore (happily) and I don't get the summer off (sadly), I do get the opportunity to travel this great country and meet you, Jewelry Fans, in your hometowns all across this Great Land. 

By now my summer calendar is locked in and you can find the details right here. I've got so much new work to show you, and so much to tell you about in person. I hope you carve out sometime in your own busy lives to meet up with me, both at Art Festivals all around and on FB Live and Instagram Live. That's right, Jewelry Fans, I'm coming live to you from your small, pocket, super computer that we rarely use the phone app on. 

I'm taking recommendations on must see spots around the shows I'll be at (really, check the details HERE), as well as must go to restaurants, coffee shops and maybe nightlife spots. So fill me in!! No one knows your hometown better than you!! Hit me up on Instagram: @Margaret_OSJ and FB: @OriginalSinJewelry with your amazing, must do recommendations.

One more thing!! To celebrate the start of Summer last Friday, I launched a Fun Quiz! It's all about Road Tripping and what it means to you, Jewelry Fans. Check it out by clicking this link right here! I'd love to hear what your results are so share them on Instagram and FB too! All you have to do is click on the blue text (it's called a hyperlink, woah!)

Artist Margaret Aden with Finn (who is blind during the day)
Walking Blind

January 29, 2024

But what I’ve noticed lately is just how BRAVE Finn is every day. He boldly walks around in full sunlight; having memorized where the posts to the porch are, how to get up and down across the terraced, brick landscaping in the yard. He knows where my utility trailer is parked and avoids it while he takes care of his personal business. Finn even knows where the pool is and how to avoid falling in while walking around the whole thing. (I mean, that last part was learned the hard way, he falls in once or twice a year and we fish him out and dry him off. Big dogs have big wet dog smells too.)

What’s the What with Cleaning your OSJ Jewelry

Quick list of things that cause sterling silver to tarnish: oxygen, hydrogen sulfide (small component of our actual air), sulfur (rotten egg smell in Florida water or hot springs all over), acids (some face creams, trace amounts in tissues and paper), acids (also include your personal pH based on the water you drink and the food you eat!), chlorine (pools, shower water, cleaning the toilet) and general moisture (live in the South or East Coast anyone??)

The Thing About Turquoise…
The Thing About Turquoise…

January 26, 2023

The colors and shades and differing colored matrices of turquoise are unique to each region and mine where turquoise is found. Sometimes, like in Bisbee, AZ, finding turquoise is a byproduct of copper mining. Each area reflects the minerals and elements present when the seams of turquoise are formed and the matrix the host rock or sedimentary rock which was not dissolved. Truly, each piece is one of a kind.
