Inspired by the painted desert of America’s southwest, The Linnet Bird was born...
3 one-of-a-kind Linnet Bird pieces designed for aLIVE!
As a recent transplant to the Seattle area, Carly Jane Lee recalls the varied hues of the Mojave desert on childhood trips with her family.
“My dad would love getting up right at dawn & would encourage my brother & me to go with him on hikes into the desert.” It was from these visual images of colored sands and multihued canyons that the palate of The Linnet Bird’s pieces would take shape.
“I wanted to create pieces that would embody the dazzling serenity of the desert.”
Incorporating influences from a foreign geography might be risky to those used to the temperate climates of the Northwest. “Beauty is universal, whether they originate from drier climates or from the oceans & mountains.” It’s this inclusive beauty that the Linnet Bird endeavors to showcase throughout it’s collection.
The Linnet Bird’s name originates from bird watchers & collectors from Europe’s royal families. Beginning in the 15th century, those who appreciated linnet birds, prized them for their ability to always carry a beautiful song. This capacity to sing despite being domesticated were valued to those who sought after the petite red-breasted bird. Even during the colder and darker months of the year the linnet bird would continue to sing it’s cheerful song.

“Everyone, no matter their success level, needs encouragement throughout their personal and professional lives,” says creator Carly Jane Lee—a perspective very in-line with the celebration that will take place at aLIVE Fashion Show.
It was through this perspective that the earrings in her collection celebrate the strong, simple yet enduring beauty derived from the linnet bird. The stones and desert gems are partnered onto these silver frameworks that emulate their strength from a small endearingly happy bird.
BEAUTIFUL! Attend aLIVE Fashion Show on July 26th for the opportunity to see these gems fly down the runway, as you gain the chance to meet designer Carly Jane Lee and shop her wide assortment of beautiful creations.
