Native American Fashion

There seems to be quite a trend in fashion at the moment towards the Native American. Tribal/geometric prints and feathers are everywhere. It's a trend we've seen before, I remember only a few years ago fringes were quite the thing, and I'm sure we'll see it again. I'm quite a fan of this look and while I won't be using actual feathers I'm keen to incorporate some Native American imagery, patterns and materials into my own jewellery. The first logical step? Google images of course.

Best Sellers of 2011

It seems like just yesterday I made my first pair of button studs, instead it was something like six months ago. Now 2012 has begun and things are going to be bigger and better than ever before. I can't wait!
I'm so thrilled with how Hearsay has gone so far, and it still boggles my mind when people respond so well to my creations, to the point where I can actually determine best sellers. So without further ado here they are, Hearsay's best sellers of 2011.
