We heart real artists

We love seeing the amazing work of independent artisans recognized on big sites--except when they don't actually give credit to the artist. That seems to be the case with jewelry artist Stevie Koerner of tru.che, whose beautiful United/World of Love line has inspired an exact replica on a certain huge retailer's website.

In honor of all the support she's gotten from the web today, she's offering a fantastic discount on all her pieces. But hurry, it lasts for today only!
You can score 20% off Stevie's beautiful sterling silver jewelry, whether you'd wear the country of your heritage or the state where your kids were born (or conceived, ahem). I love the idea of showing some patriotism for the good old USA (pictured) without decking yourself out in red, white, and blue.

We love being a part of the indie community and supporting them any which way we can. Even more so when it's through buying a beautiful piece of jewelry for ourselves. Pull our arm - we don't mind one bit. -Kristen
