BESTeam Weekly Feature - HeadpinWear


Come check out this week's BESTeam featured Etsy site HeadpinWear

HeadpinWear is owned by Cathy from Benicia, California. She started designing jewelry a few years ago and  really just wanted to make jewelry for herself that would be unique and would complement her apparel. In creating and designing, she has found that she has to be "In the Mood"! Cathy is not one who can just sits down and makes something, for the sake of making it. She is thoughtful and meticulous in the complete design from start to finish. Sometimes it may take days to finish a piece, and then sometimes it’s simple and easy, but that’s rare. Although she calls her jewelry simplistic, Cathy can assure you that it is all quality work.

At HeadpinWear you will find classic and retro designed jewelry with Gemstones, Swarovski Crystals, and other varieties to flatter you, and your own style! Cathy believes that jewelry is an accessory. It is not meant to be center stage or steal the show. Jewelry is meant to enhance your being, inside and out, and complete your sense of style. It is the cherry on top of your sundae"!

Here are just a few of the items that caught my eye while browsing Cathy’s HeadpinWear Etsty shop.


A romantic sorbet of Key Lime and Raspberry make up this delightful combination in these Czech Glass Earrings. A juicy Raspberry Drop dangles from the bottom of a two tone translucent round Czech Glass Bead. The edges of this two toned round are exquisite in their Picasso finish. Above this center Bead is a Melon Bead which mixes the flavors of Key Lime and Raspberry thoroughly. In appearance these two colors are now a swirl! To complete this flavorful combination the Melon Bead is capped sweetly, with a Vintaj Brass Flower Bead Cap. 

Orange Chalcedony, Fire Opal, Carnelian Gemstones and Thai Sterling Silver Bracelet



A luscious and lovely combination of striking Orange’s and Rust’s are combined in this bright Bracelet! Each Gemstone is separated either by a Thai Sterling Silver Rondelle Spacer Bead with an engraved Flower Motif, or by an AB Carnelian Rondelle. The Gemstones consist of orange sorbet Chalcedony Rondelles, Fire Opal Nuggets, and Faceted Carnelian Rondelles.This Bracelet closes with a Bali Style Sun Burst Toggle.

White Starfish mixed with Pearls, Larimar, Sterling Silver, and Brass Set



A distinctive White Patina Starfish set amongst sparkling and complementing shades of our coastal waters completes this stunning necklace. Wire wrapped on Vintaj Brass Wire, between double strands of Solid Brass Hand Antiqued Chain are light sage Freshwater Pearls, Larimar Gemstones, Swarovski Crystals topped with Vintaj Brass Bead Caps, and a Pewter Clamshell Bead. An Antiqued Brass Ball and Socket Clasp close this necklace.

For the earrings, three sparkling Swarovski Crystals in shades of Indian Sapphire dangle from Antiqued Brass Chain and are connected by a loop to a bold and captivating Swarovski Indian Sapphire AB Crystal. An elaborate Vintaj Brass Bead Cap adds more detail to this already gorgeous bead! This ensemble hangs directly from Handmade Vintaj Brass Ear Wires. 

These are only a few of the wonderful items available. Please check out the rest of this beautiful collection at the HeadpinWear Etsy shop and don’t forget to stop by the HeadpinWear blog.
