Here's how to wear it

Everyone has been asking "How can I put together my own style?" So I've made a little demonstration piece showcasing some ideas, including the new ribbon style.

So here you can see that 2 necklaces+2 clasps+1 ribbon= unlimited styles!

HAVE FUN!

(and please show us your personal style on the facebook page)

Christmas wishes come true

What a pleasant surprise to receive a request from a dear friend who wanted to give her mother a unique gift! It is definitely not hard to style a woman who has such beautiful features on her own, but we are so glad she likes her custom necklace.

Pop-Up Shops are Totally IN!

There is no better way to get in the spirit of holiday shopping than by spending an evening with friends shopping for the perfect gifts. This event was particularly cool because the popular furniture store Room and Board offered up its interiors for each designer to display the goods.

As a holiday treat we introduced a new way to wear our necklaces with satin ribbon. This is super easy to do and adds a fun twist to the traditional look. Think about sprucing up a shiny black agate necklace with a hot pink ribbon for your holiday party:)

okadesigns.com has a new look

We teamed with shopify.com to create an online presence that cant be missed... and we LOVE it! When shopping for your favorite necklace(s) you can also choose which clasp you want to go with it (diamond studded or plain silver).

Our suggestion is that everyone start with 2 clasps because that is what you need to put 2 necklaces together. You also need 2 clasps to wear a centerpiece. As you buy more necklaces, you dont have to purchase more clasps, unless of course you want to connect 3 necklaces together to make a long style that can be draped around your neck.

Happy Shopping!

Fashion for football

One thing I've learned about the south is that college football is a lifestyle, and I happen to be in UGA (University of Georgia) territory. So on game days the girls get out their red and black and make way to the stadium to cheer on the Dawgs. Two of the prettiest UGA fans happen to also be huge Oka Designs fans:)
