It's been a while...

so, it's been a while since I've blogged.  why, well first, writing is not easy for me or even something I like to do.  don't even know if I do it well.  (btw, my son HATES that I use lower case letters but there is just something about them.  I also love fonts but there are not many to choose from here).  I digress.  anyway, another reason it is hard for me to blog is because I don't think anyone out there reads this.  I have become addicted to blogs, especially jewelry blogs.  I follow about a hundred and it is hard to keep up.  seriously.  I see so many people reading and commenting on other blogs but...ok, enough whining.

here are a few new designs I created.  Fair Trade Sari Silk and Yarn has become part of my latest and I am liking it.  it is hard to create designs that are not something that you would be drawn to or normally wear.  that is what I am trying to do with the Sari Silk.  and guess what, customers are liking it and making purchases.

speaking of purchases, a friend prayed over me recently as I have been so stressed about money. she approaches God and prayer a little differently than I do but I sure needed the intercession.  God's timing is rarely ours but He is blessing me this month and I am very thankful.  I am also thankful for friends who will pray over, for and despite me!

Combining two pieces, both with Sari Silk and/or yarn. Antique Sterling Silver Plated chain on both pieces.

The purple beaded drop necklace have each bead individually wired wrapped to dangle along each chain link. I used a swirled hook on the side for the clasp. Sari Yarn in mainly purple hues finish the back. I used black Chinese Silk cord to wrap and finish the ends. Matching earrings complete the design.

The second piece has both Sari Silk and Yarn in the design, finished with the Chinese black Silk cord and pink hemp cord. I through in some Bali Silver beads to accent the silk, yarn and chain. $35

This piece has both Sari Silk and Yarn in he design, finished with the Chinese black Silk cord and pink hemp cord. I through in some Bali Silver beads to accent the silk, yarn and chain. $35

Fair Trade Sari Silk and Sari Yarn creates depth to this design. The Silk shimmers a deep blue and/or black, depending on the light. The Yarn has variegated colors but primarily black. I secured them with Chinese Silk Cord to a Sterling Silver Plate chain. To pick up the shimmer of the Silk, I added a few Fire Polish Beads that are beautiful as they catch the light. A silver tone pendant with a midnite black center finishes off the look. $38

hope you like these....I will post more later this week.  love to hear from you. truly!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung here in Virginia so I thought I would celebrate with some of my lucite flower and Swarovski Crystal designs.

Great summer colors in pinks, purples, teal, moss green, peach, red and many more. I loaded up this silver tone chain with tons of flowers, each one centered with a Swarovski Crystal, that will look great on anyone's wrist. I added a Bali silver clasp and the bracelet it adjustable.

$38

I loaded down this lovely silver chain with tons of glass bead clusters, intermingles with Lucite Flowers. Each bead is wire wrapped and loaded onto a jump ring to form a little colorful cluster. Tons of colors allow you to wear this with so many outfits. This necklace is adjustable and finished with a Bali Silver clasp. It measures 19 inches at its fullest, but again, it is adjustable for various necklines.

$42

A simple calla lily with a Swarovski Crystal nestled in the center dangles from a sterling silver necklace. A Bali silver lobster claw makes this necklace adjustable.

$28

 

This lucite flower has six petals in colors of reddish and purple highlighted with a sparkling Swarovski crystal. The sepal part of the flower is framed with an antique brass flower bead cap. This dangles from a pair of antiqued brass ear wires.

$10

Great summer colors dress up this lovely sterling silver chain necklace with seven flowers, each one centered with a Swarovski crystal. I added a Bali silver clasp which makes this necklace adjustable. Will look great with a pair of Lucite flower earrings.

Three is the charm

A silver chain adorned with a beautiful charm drop. The drop is added to a simple ring with a Christian fish symbol, a simple cross and a luscious white Fresh Water Potato Pearl.   I have a lot of different colored Fresh Water Potato Pearl colors if natural is not what you want.  Just ask.  This is something you can wear everyday or just on special occasions.

Removable Charm Drop Necklace

A removable charm drop on a sterling silver plate chain dresses up any outfit. Silk blouse (though, does anyone where those anymore?) or tee shirt, under a blazer with jeans.  No matter what you wear, it will look classy!  Designed with Freshwater Pearls, Shells and a few other beads thrown in. Use an extender to make the necklace longer or take the drop off and just use the chain. I wear mine all the time. 20” adjustable.   ($18)
