SMP Loves…Rangoli

How beautiful is this picture? The hairpiece was made by the fabulously talented Aisling of Rangoli Jewelry in Dublin, Ireland. Every piece that she’s designed seems more beautiful than the next, crafted using very fine metallic threads so that they are actually a textile. Aisling’s work is absolutely stunning…from delicate tiaras to perfect bracelets. Definitely check out...

The dinner...
