Rose Colored Glass





With a renewed spirit and an excitement for new beginnings I haven't felt in a long time, I am overflowing with feelings of creativity and the need to forge ahead. I cannot help but mention that many of us who are in the creative fields tend to face life differently than others.. Positive, based in the belief that what is good and important will inevitably prevail. It is with this thought that I have been finding the need to inspire. I've always wanted to be a writer, but never applied that desire accordingly. Through my jewelry, I have always felt this insatiable urge to bless others with a pretty necklace of a pair of earrings.. I cannot tell you how many times a piece I am wearing appeals to someone for one reason or another.. and in my heart I just want to give. With that in mind, I've started creating pieces which truly make me happy.  As a result, I've been allowing things to fall into place without pushing them in the direction I think they need to go. I truly believe that the right people will be compelled to have it and that the right boutiques will want to represent it. I have come a long way personally over the last several years and today I am writing with a clarity of actualization. My jewelry is my passion. My jewelry is a source of inspiration for me.. and I've seen it be so for others. I love to encourage people and I enjoy seeing others when they find peace and clarity in situations. So, "Through Rose Colored Glass".. I hope we can all take a moment to calm our anxious hearts and slow our pace for a bit to recognize that in life, we should all find a sense of responsibility to one another. To uplift those in our lives and to smile through thoughts of grief or anger, and to share those joyful moments in our lives that make us want to laugh again like we were children.. To make ourselves better individuals in hopes that others will be guided by our ways. I, of all people, am not perfect; but I love A LOT.. and because of that.. I have a beautiful nine year old daughter who smiles with her eyes and laughs from a place of sincerity that a lot of us could learn from. I wish you all much LOVE, much PEACE, and clarity to LAUGH in inappropriate moments so much so that we can't help but forget why we shouldn't be laughing. Be blessed my dear friend! Be kind to one another and remember to smile!

Summer Inspirations


I have been travelling a bit lately and I am feeling inspired by the reactions of people on the street. I am always trying to wear my jewelry out and about just to get feedback.. And, you never know, perhaps a bit of business along the way. I'm loving the gypsy laid back feeling of the mix and match pieces. I'm dying over long dresses for summer that are long, flowing and sexy.. Mixing and matching has become a signature in my line and I have added several pieces to the collection over the last few weeks. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts!

Bracelets, Bangles and More Oh My!



Happy Valentine's Day!
Well another addition to our website and I cannot be happier about being able to offer these great bracelets once again. As the warmer weather is approaching, I'm inspired by the lighter colors and the need to be tan and be on the beach. We sold these great bangles as a part of the collection a few years ago and they sold out just as quickly as I could make them! A great price point and a wonderful addition to your jewelry collection. These can be ordered in a variety of colors, stones and metals. Each bracelet is unique and the 'Fitrou' drops will showcase a variety of styles and feels. Custom Orders your today!

Shop Fitrou: Our New Beginning

Shop Fitrou: Our New Beginning: "Shop Fitrou would like to welcome you and Thank You for being a part of the newest chapter in our business growth. I am very excited to have..."

Our New Beginning

Shop Fitrou would like to welcome you and Thank You for being a part of the newest chapter in our business growth. I am very excited to have a new beginning for our company and would like you all to visit our website at http://www.shopfitrou.com

Our newest designs will be updated here on a regular basis.

As an introduction to "Fitrou", My company began in 1999 and has been through it's fair share of ups and downs. I am so glad to finally be back in the swing of things! I adore creating jewelry and, even more so, enjoy the opportunity to see people's reactions to my pieces. As I travel, I gather pendants, charms, icons and  special items which speak to me in one way or another and incorporate them into my designs. I use the finest of materials and often times incorporate antique, vintage and rare findings into my jewelry.  The "Fitrou" line currently consists of one-of-a kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings. I also love the opportunity to take special orders and create individual items or even groups for special occasions. You can email me at customerservice@shopfitrou.com.

The name "Fitrou" is my daughters last name and is a Greek name. The line was started just prior to her birth and grew into it's maturity during the time I carried her. Since then, I have been a wholesaler to upscale boutiques around the world. Additionally, as a designer, I've had wonderful opportunities to create Private Label pieces for several stores and individuals looking to ad that something extra to their businesses.

I will be updating this blog often and will be including ideas, thoughts, inspirations, etc.. I would LOVE your input and any suggestions you may have!

Please also make cure to visit us on Face book and Twitter.

May this New Year bring us all love, happiness and PEACE!

Tanya
