-------------------
These days, women who love fashion are lucky. Gold and silver are sound investments. Why not economize by keeping true and trusted basic outfits and accessorize by adding bold and beautiful jewelry that lasts? Clothes wear out. Gold and silver jewelry doesn't.
The custom here in Santa Fe for Boomer Girls is to wear simple basic clothes and beautiful jewelry. One friend recently said "I'm going Johnny Cash tonight." That meant she'd be wearing black with lots of bold jewelry--this is our Santa Fe style.
I'm a retired creative writing Professor who writes and publishes books of poetry. I live part time in Palm Beach, where I do the opposite of Johnny Cash. I wear white. With the right pieces of jewelry I can travel light. In fact, for a two-week trip to my little hideaway I bring only a carry-on! That's the way to live--keep it simple.
So, Boomer Girls, I bring my jewelry to you! I hope you enjoy it. I believe that if you wear it, you'll feel and look like a million bucks. Your new B.BOLD jewelry will change your look, kicking it up a notch. I hope that this new, exciting bold & tasteful jewelry will do for you what it does for me-- reassure me that I'm still a beautiful and vibrant woman, just like you! Life is just beginning for us!
Best wishes-- Marcia Southwick

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS:
Hi Marcia! As we were sitting around the table at the restaurant this afternoon, I noticed that all three mothers seated were wearing a B. Bold piece! I was wearing my horse bracelet, my Mom was wearing her gold necklace and bracelet and my good friend Lila, was wearing one of the sacred heart bracelets that I gave her :) Cool Huh!
And Happy Mother's Day to you too!--Jill
My name is Mary Marin, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge the extraordinary and beautiful work that this Jeweler continues to produce. It's difficult to describe the artistry and soul that she puts into her work. The Colors thát she uses are like the precious gems you find in a rain forest. I own two of her necklaces, and I bought a bracelet for one of my friends. People always stop us to ask where we got such unusual pieces. They never fail to comment on the primitive richness of her beads, or the artistry in the way she works with silver and leather.
She did not ask me to write this. I just needed to acknowledge the excellence and genius of her work, and to encourage you to check out her web site on FB. I swear that her work vibrates off the page, and that her prices are SO reasonable that you will not be able to leave her site without a piece of her magic !!!
Marcia--My lovely Southwest by Northeast necklace arrived Sat. How wonderful of you to gift package so sweetly - made it extra special - thank you very much. And the nexpected gift of the alpaca thread earrings made it an extra delicious arrival!(I've traveled Mexico & South America extensively, even been a short-lived alpaca breeder- how'd ya know??) I'm a natural blonde who simply adores orange combined w/bright pink - thank u so
much!~ This necklace combines so well with my existing collection of gemstones, especially my corals & spiny oyster shell jewels I adore wearing in Summer. Will be a great take-along travel piece to Boho-Up my classic work attire. You see I've adapted my dear Mother's taste for the classic dress of Audrey Hepburn & Jackie O, but must let my own sunshine come thru!-- Pamela
Thanks so much. .. as always. . .I am blown away by your talent and originality."-- Nora
Dearest Marcia,The stunning bracelet arrived today. I love it! It fits which is a blessing for me with my big wrist. I am sure you have been told this before but the whole gift wrapping and protection is absolutely lovely and it was a very special surprise to see the earrings. Wow Thank you! They are beautiful! I can't wait to show my treasures off tomorrow. I am so proud to own these. Most kind regards,
Sheree
Dear Marcia, The jewelry I ordered from you arrived the Saturday after our last email about our kids and growing up in New England. I have to tell you how happy I am. I have to say the silver bracelet and the keshi pearl bracelet are breathtaking, and so much more beautiful than even the photos relayed! The bracelets and the earrings (which I also love) have gotten quite a bit of admiration from friends who appreciate artisan jewelry, too. Thank you so much for not only the lovely trinkets but the incredibly quick delivery time, and the thoughtfulness that you put into the presentation, a gift-wrapped package. I'll visit your site again when I'm looking for something beautiful, unique and affordable--Kathy Owen
"The rings (menagerie series) are spectacular, I can't stop looking at them! Each one has its own individual character. I feel as if I'm buying museum-worthy pieces of jewelry. (Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that happens!)-- C. Jones
"Your beautifully wrapped package arrived and I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with everything! The silver bangle with the hearts and rhodochrosite is just exquisite. It goes perfectly with my silver rhodochrosite necklace and earrings from Argentina! I'm totally enthralled with the fine silver scroll bracelet - I've never owned a piece of jewelry like this before, and it seems so ancient and mysterious, like some archaeological find out in the desert. I think you used the perfect word for it: "archaic". I really, really love this bracelet. And the fact it was made in your workshop makes it seem very personal and special. Thank-you too for the gift of the pink & gold earrings(cloisonne? not sure about the terminology). They're so sweet! I can't wait to wear them!
Here's wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving"--Chris
"I am an artist myself but I have never used metal as a media- I am so impressed with your skill and designs, as well as the passion i see radiating from your work. I will be SURE to buy from you as often as possible!"-- Carla
"I love the crystal catalyst bead you sent me. You went over and beyond by stringing it so beautifully. I wear it daily. I've found that I feel calmer, yet have more energy; but it's a clean energy, not my usual frazzled kind. I sleep beautifully now and one of the most striking differences is that when I got my routine blood work, my labs showed a marked improvement in my health; blood pressure was normal and diabetes nearly gone! I was shocked. I changed none of my habits, so I can only assume the crystal catalyst is realigning me. I am so happy with this purchase and appreciate the fine work you do. Thanks, Marcia."-- Lynne.
"Dear Marcia,I love-love-love my Crystal Catalyst necklace and fervently hope that you will sell a lot of them, as I think the majority of EMF-bombarded people still have no idea of the dangers. I also appreciate the beautiful presentation package, your personal note, and the wonderfully outrageous earrings that you sent as an added gift. Whether you are #1 or #2 on the Ruby Lane list of artisan jewelry designers, you will always be #1 in my book. Your talent and creativity know no bounds, and I look forward daily to seeing what your fertile brain has come up with next"-- Connie
"Hi Marcia, I wanted to let you know that the Flamingo bracelet arrived today! That was a quick trip across the country for sure.... It is soooooo sweet! I know Peggy is going to love it. I "only". have to wait until November 6 to give it to her. That's all - Count the days. Thank you too for sending me the earrings. That was an unexpected surprise! They are very pretty and I held them up to the light to show them to my sister. I may have to share them...:-) It was a pleasure to deal with you. From start to finish you were efficient. I will return to your shop on rubylane for sure! Thank you for everything"-- Dawne
Dear Marcia, "My keshi pearl necklace and earrings arrived. They are absolutely gorgeous. I did a Google search and discovered that all mollusks can make pearls--fascinating! . . . My father's relatives in eastern NC eat hundreds of oysters each year. None of us have ever found a pearl. Old ladies love surprises. Thank you. You are a fine business woman. Will check your shop for treasures again". Sincerely, Marcella
"Your work is beyond brilliant. Everyone I show it to is gasping. It's by far the best artisan jewelry shop on Ruby Lane." -- Karen
"If I were rich, you'd be rich!"--Martha
Dear Marcia--I just received my bracelet from you and I LOVE IT. I buy many things on ebay and also on rubylane. sometimes I am a little disappointed, but not this time. The bracelet from you is lovely and very unusual. It looks terrific stacked next to a few gold bangles. I definitely will be back again soon--Mary
"I have for years predominantly worn vintage costume, and other vintage, jewelry because the craftsmanship often rivalled that of fine jewelry of the period, and much of contemporary jewelry is boring and not well made. Your pieces break that mold as the craftsmanship is excellent, but also the combination of stones/material is wonderful."--Janet
Hi Marcia, Thank you for bringing a ray of sunshine into L.I. on a rainy day. What can I say? You hit it out of the park again. I thought this was so pretty online, but it's even prettier in person.I love it. Even my adorable 29 yr. old said, Mom do you really need another bracelet, with his male way of thinking, then when he saw it said that's really cool. Tonight I will wear this on my date with my husband and see if he notices it! You're pretty amazing! I'll be back and keep rockin! Hugs"--Linda
Your package has arrived, and I am, once again, over the moon. I'm wearing the frog pendant and earrings right now. I may never take the frog off - he's wonderful and darling! The earrings are perfect. Now I want to work on getting a pair of gold ones. The necklace is a treasure! It will work with so much that I have. Thank you for the friendship bracelet. I truly feel like I have made a wonderful friend even though we have never met face-to-face--Susan B.
It arrived!! (A fine silver horse bracelet). If I was the "swooning" type....I believe I would have ;) It is perfect in every way - the artistic interpretation, the weight, the size, the way it hangs.... It is going to get a lot of wear, it goes with everything. I was showing it to my Mom last night - she's not a silver fan, but she loved it too. Both she and my son were very interested in the "back story" on the civil war buttons and how really creative that is. We are all history buffs, so it is meaningful to me that something as simple as a button can live on in a beautiful piece of jewelery (with the added bonus of the horse connection) Thanks again for a beautiful creation!! Warmest Regards, Jill
"Received your shipment yesterday .. so sweet of you to include the wonderful bracelet .. I LOVE IT!! Plus, the other bracelets are beautiful!! You are so generous, Marcia! Love the wrapping .. I keep it and the pink bow is a treat for the kitties .. they chase it all over the house. Thank you, Marcia-- Debbie
Marcia, I JUST received your package!!!!!!!! I received your package juuuust in time too- our mail system has gone on strike for "who knows" how long. The pieces were not what I expected for the most part- they were better.........especially the more ornate piece with lots of silver (bali silver)......I was delighted to see that the circular bali beads were smaller than on the other necklace- very strong yet delicate look for such a heavy piece! Your sensibilities shine through on that piece immensely. . . .The matching necklace and bracelet are, of course, just gorgeous, but what really shone was the "debutante biker's bracelet" (I will selfishly treasure that forever)-- Mia
Hi Marcia -- The greyhound bracelet arrived today and it's even more beautiful than I imagined! And many thanks for the earrings -- I know they'll be the source of much enjoyment. Margaret, my step-daughter, called this morning to say that she'll be coming here for a visit on May 12th so I'll very carefully rewrap your box so she won't know that I already peaked -- Maggie, as she's known, is an Air Force Major and is now a glider instructor at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs -- I know her bracelet will be the envy of a lot of cadets -- she is fostering three greyhounds right now. I know the bracelet will be treasured for many years --Susan
Hi, Marcia, Your package arrived yesterday, and what fun! It was wrapped so beautifully which made its arrival even more special. To receive a handwritten note from you was very much appreciated. AND to receive a gift of lovely earrings with the necklace is way over the top. I am over the moon about the necklace! It is even better in
person. I will enjoy wearing it again and again. You have been a joy to work with, and I so appreciate your help with this transaction. As I have mentioned, there are many of your creations that I would like to add to my collection. They are so wearable and unique. Thank you again, Susan B
Thank you so very much for your collaboration and heart! This is what humanity needs right now-- Jenny
Dear Marcia- On a very very hot day in the nation's capital, your c-o-o-l necklaces arrived in the mail. Gosh, they are stunning, very substantial, and ... well ... BOLD. I LOVE THEM!!!! I also admire the way you presented, wrapped, and shipped everything. Also very cool. The Peruvian friendship bracelet is perfect for me. Before I retired in 2007 from the Library of Congress, I was a legal analyst for the laws of Latin America for 34 years. Thank you a million times for everything. I am now an official fan of yours / SANDRA S.
Hi Marcia--I have been in India for two months so only picked up the rings last week - they are amazing! Just what i had been hoping for and they now work perfectly together, i have a big thing for hearts so am delighted with your choice of gift!!!! Thank you so much for all your efforts to make my order so special. I will keep looking for time to time to see what you've been making, you are a great artist. BIG THANKS and very best wishes, Amanda
Marcia- I received the Fourth of July and repousse frog necklaces, and the recipients and I couldn't be more happy- you have gained a solid crowd of new fans here on the north end of Vancouver Island! The necklaces we've purchased I consider as gifts- they are- ARE wonderous pieces. . . there are so, soooo many of your pieces that I adore- I literally can not look at your website unless I have the money to spend on it- it torments me- what you create is just so special and stunning--Mia
Hi Marcia, Just wanted you to know I received both items, bracelet and necklace on Saturday .. beautiful, absolutely wonderful! Many thanks for including those precious earrings, too .. they match the bracelet perfectly .. so appreciated and so generous of you. Thank you!! I love the items and thank you for your prompt delivery .. you are the BEST!! Take care, Marcia and again, many thanks,
D.W.
I finally got together with my friend Deb and gave her this
bracelet. She was delighted, and I felt great having found such a terrific gift for my friend. The earrings you included are intriguing: They're just beautiful, and it was very nice of you to send them. I'm just delighted with my purchase; your work is beautiful. There are a few items on my wish list, so I'm sure you'll hear from me again. Thank you very much. Best wishes, Lynn
Dear Marcia, Thank you so much for this beautiful, extraordinary necklace-you mentioned it was one of your first designs, so I'm very pleased it waited for me. It is magnificent, and I am going to feel very
special when I wear it with the wonderful pearl earrings. Thank you also for the lovely green-blue earrings. What a happy colour they are-it was so kind of you to include them-I'm wearing them right now. Warmest regards--Lee
Dear Marcia, my blue lapis ring arrived today!! I am wearing it with 2 of my silver stacking rings, and it is fabulous!! This is a really GOOD thing! I love it and see no end in sight!!!!! Love Beth
Dear Marcia-Two beautiful necklaces arrived today (Tuesday) from your studio. One is ornate, the second is simple .... both are STUNNING. You really have a touch ... with great taste. I love your craft. I am wearing the Peruvian friendship bracelet, and hope that everyone will notice my friendly vibes. Looking forward to the next delivery of jewelry. All the best / SANDRA S.
Hi Marcia, just letting you know the gorgeous earrings arrived safe and sound. They are a wonder to behold in artistry. Thanks again for doing business with me. It was a pleasure doing business with you. warmest, Cynthia
Received my earrings and I love them. Thanks for the extra pair! I love them, too. I wear those colors all the time. I will visit your store again. BTW the hoops are destined to become my favorite earrings of all time--Melinda
Hi Marcia, I received the beautiful earrings today. They are EXACTLY what I needed to go with a new turquoise necklace! Thank you so much for the prompt service and your incredible jewelry talent. Kathryn
"Worked 5 hours pulling grass from the irises today. It finally got sunny at 5. Wore bracelets I had gotten from you. Felt special. Got all the goodies and am more impressed in person if that is possible. Probably already told you. The three stone earrings are so comfortable". --Inez
Marcia - Every single one of your items has not only been a success but a tremendous success. My sister, often avoiding jewelry of any kind . . . really loved the necklace AND your earrings. She was wearing them when we last talked, though I never remember her ever wearing earrings before. Somehow, you hit just the right time and just the right tastefulness. And that goes for every thing I have bought from you. Every single time I wear either of your lovely necklaces, I am greeted by compliment after compliment. No exaggeration. At all. . . ." Susan
Marcia, "My necklace and the earrings came this afternoon, they are gorgeous! So much more so than I expected!!!. The photo on the shop site did not do it justice. Thank you so much for the lovely earrings, I would bet my daughter fights me for those! " --Jean
"Hi Marcia: Thank you for my lovely bracelet!!!!---I'm really going to treasure it--my little piece of Bisbee--It fits perfect with the new clasp, which is beautiful and the little dangle---and it came in time for Valentine's Day---I was so excited that I didn't look further into the bag until today when my husband and I were having lunch--I had it on the table and found my earrings and your nice note! They are so pretty, what a double surprise---thank you so much. My husband thought that was very sweet of you. I see so many more things I want, so I'll be back to your shop soon as soon as my husband's wallet cools off from V.D. day---he got me some red nice cowboy boots too. Keep making those gorgeous things--you are really very talented! Thanks again". Elena.
"Hi, thank you so much. I received the necklace. It is absolutely beautiful and I'm definitely book marking your store. Your pieces are exquisite. Have a Happy Easter. And thanx again:)"-- Kimberly

Thank you for being a creative inspiration and
bringing joy into my life. Keep up the good work!--
Linda C.

"Dear Marcia, the package came today, Wow! I love the beads! You really have a great eye, and know exactly how to arrange the beads in the most beautiful way! Thank you thank you thank you! I am so so happy and grateful that you created such a beautiful piece for me! And as a contest winner, I so love the prize -the gold vermeil earrings are stunning, and so easy to wear! My winning streak may be over with the new contest - but I am forever happy to have won such a great prize!! Lastly, the stacking rings, wow just like liquid moonlight! I am loving these so much - Thank you for giving me Christmas in April today!!"-- Beth

I told them where I got them! Thanks too for the extra surprise with each shipment, a bracelet and then a pair of earrings this time!!! I will be shopping again!! Bless you!!!--Kay
"Hi Marcia ~ Absolutely gorgeous is the bracelet!!! Thank you so very much for the earrings, which I have on. Your work is beautiful, it takes your breath away to look at this bracelet. Sometimes you find someone that is an artist, you fit the description. My friend makes jewelry, she couldn't believe the bracelet. Will have to do a different one in the future. Thank you again for the beautiful bracelet and earrings. I will be back. Kindest Regard", Pamela
I am the buyer- receiver of the three beaded necklaces- the bottom one with the turquoise repousse, the middle necklace with the amazing silver and lampwork beads, and the top necklace with the amazing black beads with pink floral design, coral beads, and silver. I have not taken them off since I got them- beautiful- I will guard them with my life, and love them throughout it. I just got horrible medical news, and that necklace, bought by my mother, Betty Lee Thompson- took some of that pain away. So I am in turn, buying some things for her-. -- Mia
"I received the package from you earlier in the week - and you were so right - I love the necklace! It is indeed quite a NECKLACE! So fun and funky, and yet elegant at the same time. I know I'll enjoy wearing it - especially this summer as I wear a lot of white. So now, I have the perfect summer jewelry wardrobe with my recent purchases from you - thank you!"-- Janet
"I received my bracelet today and it is even more beautiful than I expected, thank you so much. Also thanks for the extra surprise again, I will wear them often. I can't wait to wear the whole ensemble on Saturday at our block party. They will be a hit."-- Bonnie
"Squeeee! Yes, this means I got my B.Bold. The size of the bracelet is perfect. I'm so thrilled because I always see bracelets that I like but can't wear because they're too big. No more boring "stretch" bracelets for me. . . Thanks again for all your work. Take care, and I'll be in touch". ~LeAnn
"I received my necklace today and I LOVE it!!!!! It is exactly as you described -- and the earrings gift was totally unexpected and very much appreciated...I have a miserable cold, and it was such an uplift to receive your package so promptly. When I am up and about again, I'll snap and send a digital photo and you will see how perfect it is for my coloring and personality. Many, many thanks -- for such a wonderful piece of wearable art and your assistance for my first B.Bold purchase."-- Nancy
Dear Marcia-
I received your parcel in Monday's mail. The ring and bracelet are really wonderful. I guess I am a true BOLD Boomer Girl!! Spirals, as seen in the silver ring, have been one of my favorite abstract forms for a long time. The history of the beads in the handmade bracelet definitely add to the allure. I will wear each of your pieces confidently. Wishing you the best, until the next time / SANDRA
'Thank you for the earrings they are beautiful. I love my silver and turquiose necklace. I am never disapointed in your jewelry. Keep up the great quality." -- Martha
Dear Marcia, I just wanted to let you know how much I love all of these treasures. They are so beautiful!! Thanks also for sending them so quickly and packaged so beautifully. I also love the New Mexico earrings. I visited Santa Fe once many years ago and really enjoyed it. I hope you're having a great week. Thanks again. All the best--Adele.
"I love them! I got the package today and adore them all. The puppies are really sweet and my daughter and her pals will love them. Also found a bracelet on your site I want. FYI -- that silver bracelet with the leaves I bought is so special. Just delighted with your stuff Marcia" --Malyore
"Received the new necklace and vermeil earrings. That necklace is so lovely - different from the other chunkies that I have, but so wonderful looking and feeling. And those earrings are gorgeous! I especially love the screwback findings you put on them - they look so good on them and make the entire earring look better. Sometimes those clip findings are cheap looking - but not these. Love love that vermeil set"-- Janet
"The necklaces are absolutely beautiful and thank you for the lovely gift of the earrings. I am delighted and in awe of the exquisite workmanship of the Thai beads, what intricate workmanship.I really appreciated the history which you sent. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and who know, if I see another unique piece of yours, I might well snap it up. Thanks once again for my lovely treasure."-- Anne
"I just received my package and I love everything!! The amazonite necklace is so elegant and the "over the rainbow" necklace is just great - it's really fun. It has all of my favorite colors.I also love the earrings - they will be a wonderful gift for my niece. Thank you also for the bracelets. They are so colorful and I'll wear them with great pleasure. . ."--Inez
"The bracelet has arrived and it is very beautiful, rich but simple. Thank you for the little presents, you
shouldn't have..." -- Agnes

I'm sure I will receive alot of compliments on my jewelry! I love them! It's been a pleasure doing business with you! I'm sure you'll see me again in your shop."-- Yvonne
"Received the package from you. I love everything! That necklace of antiqued gold Bali beads is especially gorgeous, and did you realize (I'm sure you did) that it layers wonderfully with the other necklace with similar beads as well as the Venetian foil and amethyst Swarovski beads? The two of those look like they were made to go together - and the earring are perfect as well. I love the gold wood beads as well. I had actually bought two of those necklaces as gifts, but now I don't know...!" Quite remarkable how your creative way with words overflows into your creative way with jewels! Many many thanks for making this Boomer girl's jeans and white shirts look so great! -- Janet
"Marcia! My new contest prize just arrived! What a bright spark for my day, and my life! Thank you so much, I rarely win contests, and this is huge for me! I came home from the store (buying jug wine for beef burgundy, and sipping, of course) and the mail box called to me! Now I shall cook and glow."-- Beth
