Sponsor Spotlight: Colby June Jewelry

I have a never-ending list of favorite Etsy shops (obviously…), but there’s one that’s always been at the top of my list. It’s the one I can spend hours scrolling through and always find something new. You might even remember this giveaway from a few years ago. Colby is the amazing jewelry designer behind Colby June Jewelry, a Colorado-based Etsy shop filled with charms, bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings. “Natural beauty inspires my work and preservation of the environment is of the highest importance,” she says of her jewelry.

Well, you can imagine my excitement when Colby offered to send me a piece from her Pine Cone Collection. The new collection, inspired by the pine cones found at the base of Mount Sopris, just outside of Carbondale, Colorado, features nature-inspired jewelry. The rings, bracelets and earrings remind me of taking a walk through the woods in the early days of spring when everything is just starting to turn green again.

Colby sent me the bronze wide pine cone ring, and I love the simple, elegant look of it, don’t you? There’s something understated about it, yet it still stands out — definitely the perfect piece for winter.

Thanks so much, Colby! Make sure you visit Colby June Jewelry and shop their holiday sale! Everything is 15% off through Wednesday! xoxo

(Colby June Jewelry sent me the bronze pine cone ring, though all opinions expressed are my own. Thanks so much for continuing to support So About What I Said’s wonderful sponsors!)
