Profile: Swati Jr* Jewelry

Beautiful new discovery: Swati Jr* Jewelry. And by "beautiful," I mean beautiful intent, beautiful meaning, beautiful execution. Designer and yogi Saraswati creates made-to-order pieces that are inspired by nature, and designed to honor the goddess within each woman.

Pieces this original don't come without a story, so I asked Saraswati if she'd answer a few questions for RG about how she was inspired to begin designing jewelry, and what the line represents to her...plus a little advice for those of you who may be interested in jewelry design yourselves.

Lust Object: Canadian Swaddle Bag

Yes, this is the kind of thing I'm lusting over these days.

My Canadian family gave me a cream-colored version of the swaddle bag pictured above on my last visit...and it is glorious. Glorious. Soft, and cozy, and a total miracle-worker.

One problem: I can't find it anywhere except for on eBay, in a pink size 0-3 mos. I've found lots of thinner cotton versions online, but I love how plush and snuggly this one is. So my question for you: know where I can find something like this State-side, with more color and size variety?

...Anyone? Anyone?
