Erin's Bracelet

I made this for a friend a few weeks ago. It is made with Amethyst beads and copper wire. She saw a picture of the bracelet and insisted she have one right away :) I had to custom make this one for her since she loved the copper look. :)
I also used Purple Swarovski Crystals and small glass seed beads.
This design I learned from a magazine I subscribe to. I can not find the design anywhere in my stash of jewelry magazines. I subscribe to Step by Step Wire and Beadwork. I also bought this wonderful book by Linda Jones. I keep thinking this design is from her book but when I go through the pages I can't find it. I think I have misplaced the magazine of Step by Step Wire and the design is hiding in that one issue. Who knows what I have done with it. I have all the other ones except this one. I am just glad I had pictures of the first bracelet I did and could copy the design :)


Down below is the version in silver artistic wire. This is the original first bracelet in this design that I have made.

Lacy's Project

OH I am so excited to post this blog about a custom piece I made for a friend of mine.
Lacy had this out fit and she wanted me to make her some jewelry. I think the set is so beautiful.
I used Amethyst beads , howlite chips, purple seed beads and crystals.

This is my favorite way to make jewelry. The customer calls me up and says hey can you design this for me? OF course I take on the challenge. I really like how pieces come together with two people designing. The dress is a lovely canvas for my designs! The colors to die for! Can you tell I am such a nerd! Ok so anyway enough chatter. Here is the pictures of the dress and the jewelry.

I am hoping soon I can get Lacy to take pictures of her in the dress with the jewelry. I will post them as soon as I get them. :)
I WILL APOLOGIZE FOR THE PICTURE QUALITY.
Sometimes i get in a rush before shipping out and manage to get pictures of the jewelry but not in natural light. The natural light catches the real colors so much better than artificial light.
I am just amatuer photographer so I am still working on my editing skills LOL

Champagne Taste of Pearls

A Champagne Taste of Pearls! One day my sister Jessica posted some cute fancy flip flop shoes that a friend bought her. I was so inspired by the cute little silky ribboned design that I wanted to make her some jewelry to match the shoes. Sometimes I just love making stuff for friends and family.

I made her a necklace and earrings. These pearls are dyed fresh water pearls in Champagne color.
I used Swarovski Crystals as accents. They do sparkle up your attitude :) :)

Well Jessica I hope you enjoy the set and it looks divine on my diva sister! Well this blog is short and sweet because I need to get to work. I just wanted to share this beautiful pearl set.
I think I might just make one in purple for myself!
