Moonlight Motif

When I was young I always wanted the latest in fashion jewelry but my mother couldn't afford it. I was left to admire and covet all of my friends pieces. I would borrow my grandmothers vintage pearl necklaces and pins. I'd use my mothers costume jewelry. I'd learn tricks on how to preserve my gold plated chains, fix broken chains and transform them into bracelets and anklets. As I grew older was able to purchase my own jewelry I realized how much I love it. The smile that comes across your face when you buy your first 14k gold piece all by yourself. The pride you take in a bracelet or chain, so much that you pass it down to your children. Jewelry can change your whole outlook and perspective. It can cheer you up when your feeling down, it can conjer memories of a time past, it can get you out of the doghouse with your spouse or mother lol it's amazing!

One day a light bulb went on in my head and I decided to sell what I love at prices everyone can afford. That's why I have pieces that start as low as $1!!




Moonlight Motif was started for the little girl who wants to spend her babysitting money on something special just for her. For the single mother who wants to have the best for herself and her kids but can't afford to spend hundreds of dollars. For the college boy who wants to show his girlfriend he's serious but has to pay tuition before he can buy the big ring.

Moonlight Motif has the best in costume, vintage and replica jewelry. With everything from children's cartoon rings to high end replicas that are mirror images of their authentic counterparts at a fraction of the price. There's something here for everyone. We even have build-it-yourself pandora style bracelets to fit your specific interests. We are an online store but we offer jewelry parties to local customers and always welcome any special requests. Don't see a particular bangle or brooch? Let us know. We will search the globe (well the worldwide web and local stores) and find it for you. We'll even ship to you at no additional cost on all orders totaling over $10!! All replica jewelry comes with a beautiful gift box.

We strive to provide the best in customer support and to ensure your happiness. You are why we are here and without you, we would not be.

Dear Bean....

I was in Newark thinking about you today. I can't belive it's been 17 yrs since you've gone! I remember the day ma called me at work and said "bean's gone." it's like my world crashed. I couldn't believe it. Only a kid, hard headed and stubborn. I was so mad at you, why didn't you just listen? I can't even imagine how ur moms felt, having to go thru ur stuff afterwards. I went to the wake but I couldn't take it. I stayed home the day of the funeral getting fucked up. Just remembering you. Being chased by geese lmao member that? Remember when were playing outside and somebody called the cops cuz they thought you were a grown ass man chasing some girls down the street? Lmao yo remember that dude I was messing with that you told me was cheating? You told me I could do better, I shoulda listened to you. Remember you used to always have that pacifier around your neck? Lol bugging! So many memories... I miss you so much! Sometimes I still wanna pick up the phone and call you, then I put it down and start crying cuz u not here. But I know you watching over us. Kevin's a grown man now with his own family. The first time I saw his son I smiled cuz your nephew looks just like you. I know if you were here so much stuff woulda never happened to me. But u went home and I tripped, started doing shit I had no business doing. No one ever replaced you. No one ever will. I just had to write you this letter, for no particular reason, except I miss you. My brother, my cousin, my friend. I love you Bean!

Moonlight Motif ~ wherein lies Romance, Beauty & Fashion

wow! its been a while since i been on here huh? i've been so busy trying to work on this next business adventure. yup, i'm bout to get rich or die trying lol i'll be selling jewelry online and possibly at flea markets, if i can get my inventory up by summer. if not, i'll just post some stuff on ebay or maybe get a website started. i dont know, ill see. I got my first order of glass beads in the mail today! i think im gonna wait for the bracelets and necklaces to come before i get all excited. lol thats too late anyway, i ordered my business cards today! i'm going to call the "store" Moonlight Motif. sounds good right? My name, Chandrika, is hindi for "girl with a face that shines like the moon" so thats how i got the idea. I hope it pans out tho. I'm always trying new things to make money and end up not doing much, but maybe since i already put money out for this, i'll be more into it. *crossing fingers* besides, i love jewelry, i love feeling special and beautiful and i think thats what these pieces will do for my clients. You can personalize the bracelets for whatever your interests are, i.e. my personal bracelet is going to have a blow dryer and scissors since my day job is a beautician. the one i have for my mother has a domestic violence awareness charm, since she's a counsellor. get it?lol i cant wait!! in the meantime, im still working on the family reunion stuff. Building a website, gfot all the financial stuff taken care of, including a seperate ebay account for fundraisers! im pretty good huh? i know i know lol well as you can see im pretty busy these days, and i still have to chase behind the children of the corn! lmao but ill holla soon. peace!!
