Etsy's BEST Weekly: CKSilver

Fancy Jasper Inspirational Necklace

Ck Silver is an Etsy Jewelry shop run by a mother and daughter team of artists from beautiful Washington State, both of whose  primary inspiration is the beauty of nature. Their collection of jewelry is made  with the colors primarily found in earth and ocean. I love these sea-green Aventurine pieces.


CK Silver's quality jewelry pieces are classically designed and will withstand a lifetime of wear.The team chooses to work in Sterling Silver, freshwater pearls, semi-precious gemstones, and Swarovski crystal, but it is the colors that stand out to me. Gloriously muted earth tones like in these Leopardskin Jasper pieces perfectly paired with pink Rhodondite:




  At CK Silver, the sterling silver jewelry  is timeless and elegant. Unique and one of a kind silver pieces that are well-made, balanced, and elegant; easy and, very importantly, comfortable to wear.

 Take the guess work out of ,"what to wear with what," by buying in sets like this "Champagne Sunset" set.

 Marilyn and Cindy have a common goal: this is for their customer to be completely satisfied. Each and every piece is created with experience, excellence and pride and CK Silver stands proudly behind their workmanship.


Don't know what to get a new bride? CK Silver has a fantastically priced jewelry of the month club.  Every month your giftee receives a new piece of pearl jewelry, (hint:there is no rule that  the giftee should not be you).







These "First Snowfall" earrings are  another great idea for a bride. Or, you can have Cindy and Marilyn design a custom jewelry collection for the whole bridal party.

The gals at CKSilver have a content-full blog that you will love to read. And it is no wonder they have been featured in nearly fifty blogs!

Thank you for reading,

April is Autism Awarness Month

In support of  April being Autism Awareness Month, 10% of proceeds from sales at Your Daily Jewels  throughout the month of April will be donated to the Autism Society's "Autism Source" for families. 
Someone you know is touched by Autism.



Current Data from the CDC
  • It is estimated that between 1 in 80 and 1 in 240 with an average of 1 in 110 children in the United States have an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) 
 This is a 600% increase in the last twenty years!

    • ASDs are reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, yet are on average 4 to 5 times more likely to occur in boys than in girls.  However, we need more information on some less studied populations and regions around the world. 

    • If 4 million children are born in the United States every year, approximately 36,500 children will eventually be diagnosed with an ASD.  Assuming the prevalence rate has been constant over the past two decades, we can estimate that about 730,000 individuals between the ages of 0 to 21 have an ASD. 

    • Studies in Asia, Europe and North America have identified individuals with an ASD with an approximate prevalence of 0.6% to over 1%.

    • Approximately 13% of children have a developmental disability, ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism

    The Autism Society, among other things, runs Autism Source,  providing much needed  nationwide searchability for autism-related services and supports by location or service type. The Autism SourceTM Resource Database, created in 2004, is the most comprehensive database of its kind. The Autism Society strives to offer only credible and reliable resources to our constituents, therefore we have employed our nationwide network of chapters and collaborated with other autism organizations and professionals throughout the U.S. It is because of these collaborative relationships that the Resource Database continues to grow and is kept current with comprehensive resource listings.
