Foxy Girl Boutique

Melissa Cochran is a self-taught metalsmith and self-proclaimed jewelry addict. Five years ago, she created one necklace and was hooked. Foxy Girl Boutique features many of her lovely jewelry designs. Her metalsmithing talents are displayed in designs such as the Being in the Pink earrings (pictured). The pair is made out of brass wire that has been hand-wrapped and hammered flat, then accented with pink glass briolettes and pink freshwater pearls. The Romance necklace goes perfectly with the beautiful earrings. If you're looking for an accessory that will go with just about everything, check out The Labyrinth copper necklace. And, for those who like a punch of color, you don't want to miss the Take Me Dancing or Blood Red necklaces.
