I couldn't sleep last night because I was worried about another earthquake. I had the unfortunate experience of my first one the night before and I couldn't seem to convince myself that another one wasn't on its way so I stayed up until 3am watching shows on MSNBC. TV is a rotten way to kill ...

I have noticed recently that pearls are one of the "it" gems at the moment. I personally don't see a ton of people walking around on the beach wearing pearls in Rincon, PR, but when I was in New Orleans there was no shortage of really hot pearl jewelry. I personally LOVE the ...
Here are some fun/weird facts about jewelry that I will wager most of you have not heard before. A Ruby, which is the birthstone for July, is actually a red Sapphire Argentina was named from Argentum, the element of silver's Latin name. Porphyrophobia is a morbid fear of the color purple, so amethyst jewelry would be a really ...
I have really been digging the plethora of bulky and layered chain jewelry that I have been seeing this season on the web and in the magazines so I had to get my hands on some for TwinklePie.com . We have several more coming in but for now I will show whats been posted onto ...

Most of us have read about and seen examples of images of celebrities and models that have been dramatically altered using photo editing software. This is a topic that I read on a lot because I take all of the photos for TwinklePie.com myself and retouch them, to the best of my ability, in Photo Shop.I ...
If you could live in another time in history, when would you choose? I don't mean permanently or anything like that, but just for a few days or until you got sick of it and then you could come home. I have always been fascinated with the Victorian Era and I would love to be ...
I have an unhealthy obsession with chandeliers. I am not sure where it came from or how it started, but the fact that I have three of them in my less than 600sf house is evidence enough. At some point in my life my attraction to sparkley faceted things that light up was born and ...
I have an unhealthy obsession with chandeliers. I am not sure where it came from or how it started, but the fact that I have three of them in my less than 600sf house is evidence enough. At some point in my life my attraction to sparkley faceted things that light up was born and has only increased in severity since. I even have one tattooed on my thigh....
I has been a long time since I last posted something and that is partially because I didn’t have internet connection for a week and partially because I have been busy with admin. work for the Villa. I haven’t been paying too much attention to TwinklePie.com but that will change again soon once my other work responsibilities shrink down to a manageable...

I am sitting in my bedroom because it is the only room in the house with a/c and every other room in the house in unbearable. The gallery is open but the tourist season is completely dead and it will be a miracle if anyone shows so I am still in the clothes that I slept in. This type of day can occur quite often in the lovely town of Rincon, PR during the summer...
I have been dying to add images of someone wearing the jewelry that I have on the site because I think it will be a good selling tool. The problem with this is that I need to be the one taking the pictures otherwise my micromangement issue will be a problem for whomever is behind the camera. My other concern was how to get a consistant look so that the images...
I personally love Opal and when I say that I am referring to the stone rather than the jewelry that is usualy created with it. I love the iridescent quality it has and all of the outrageous colors that it comes in. It has an amazing fractal quality that makes it shimmer and shine and any thing that is shimmery and shiny easily grabs and hold my attention...
I have been very busy and have not posted in a week or so but I have a good excuse. I received a new shipment in last week and I have been preparing everything, photographing, editing and uploading. I have to say though, that when I got the latest shipment in I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY at how supremely beautiful everything is and how incredible the quality...
