The Little Sloth Necklace is one of Mark Poulin’s most popular jewelry designs — hand-cast in sterling silver from an original wax model based on Mark’s drawings. (Just ask Kristin Bell, sloths are the new cats!)

Mother’s Day is coming up! The Sock Monkey Mother-Daughter Set is the perfect gift for your mom.  Adorable “mother” and “daughter” versions of the same charm, these are also hand cast in sterling silver.

MarmarSuperstar Magnetic Necklace Sets include a hand cast original pewter bezel and three interchangeable magnets with a 30″ silvertone ball chain included.  Switch out the magnets with any of Mark Poulin’s over 300 magnet designs. And necklace sets come in a cute tin — perfect for gift-giving! This set has three different dinosaurs. Therefore, this set is my personal favorite.

  3. I just love that he uses the name MarMar because that’s what my son used to call his soon-to-be stepdad when he was little because he couldn’t say his full name. 🙂

    The jewelry is adorable too though! Where do we enter the discount code? When I try to check out, there is no option, other than including a message with my order.
