Located in Santa Monica, her large workspace is filled with colorful paintings, paints and brushes all seemed to be set up in beautiful still life motifs that got me inspired and a few caught my eyes.

Trine’s work is very dreamlike, as if a a slice from a dream were captured with lush colors and symbols – and then all coming together on canvas. So delicate and imaginative. Enjoy these selected images below and for more of Trine’s work go to her website www.trinewejp-olsen.com

Well, we have revised the standard bling bling slightly, with a new updated raw’er version that is edgy and refined. You will love!

These precious raw diamond gems are kept in the form that Mother Nature intended, and set in a beautiful modern setting. Each raw and unpolished diamond shimmers in hues of charcoal and light gray and are HUGE in carat. Simply extraordinarily beautiful.

Each ring in this limited edition collection is a one of a kind.

Gosh I remember celebrating the new millennium, and it does not seem so long ago. Well come to think of it, a lot of stuff has happened and changed since then. For one I started SusanAnkersen Jewelry, and am enjoying and loving creating designs with amazing gems.  So with this new blog….yes a New Years resolution, I hope to enchant you with an abundance of gems, pictures and perhaps the odd not-so gourmet recipe every once in a while!

To start off the new year I took a nice hike in the hills of Los Angeles. Such a beautiful day!



What would you like to happen in 2012?
