ROSE BRACELET

Well, I went bead shopping the other day and I found these great hand painted, ceramic, large-hole beads.  I liked them so much, I bought 2 strands of them.  I didn't really know what I was going to do with them but when I got home and looked through my beads I saw some purple agate beads I had bought months before and  voila!  This bracelet was born.  

Ceramic Rose Bracelet with Earrings

About 7 or 8 months ago, my mom had given me a box of old jewelry, beads, etc.  In that mess of stuff I found two round beads that had almost the same design so, matching it earrings too!

The ceramic beads give the bracelet just enough weight to keeps its shape and not flop around.

Now, to decide what to do with the other strand.  I think, since they are large-hole beads, I may do something with chain. But, no vision as of yet.

Black Matte Necklace

When I saw these black beads with the matte finish, I just had to have them.  I think they make the piece more sophisticated and elegant.


This is the perfect necklace to go with that little black dress!  I also made earrings to match.

Caramel Candy Jewelry Set

I found some great rectangle beads that remind me of caramel candies.  I used these beads along with some amber nuggets and silver spacers to create the necklace and bracelet.  To make the earrings, I used the caramel candy beads and added amber drop beads and leverback ear wires.

Custom Hoops

An online poker friend asked me what I could do in the way of  Hoops.  She was interested in earrings and a matching necklace.  At that time I was in the process of making a new pair of Dream Catcher earrings. Since that pair of earrings was still in the making, I sent her a picture of the "Dream Catcher Necklace"

To give her an idea of what they might look like.  She really liked this necklace and asked if I could do a pair of earrings to match.  Well, if you saw my previous post..........no more gold lame thread. 

So, off the the store I went, and off to another store, and off to another store, apparently, if you want gold lame thread, you better stock up at Christmas time!  (this type of thread is used quite frequently for ornaments and Christmas gift wrapping).

So, I came up with another hoop design to run passed her.  This set does not yet have a name.

This set is 100% handcrafted.  The hoops from 12g copper wire

Then wrapped with 28g coiled copper wire

The earwires are made with 20g copper wire

Originally, I was going to hang the pendant on a copper chain but, since everything else was handmade, if figured, What the heck!

So, the chain is made with links of gold seed beads on copper wire

The design inside the hoops are made using various sized bi-cone and rondelle crystals in various shades of gold and yellow along with some very tiny copper seed beads.

After photographing the set I sent the pics to her.  She really liked the set but was wondering if it would be possible to change the 'random' design into the shape of a 'K', her first initial.  WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!!!!! grrrrrrr.  lol.  What a great idea I told her.  But, I told her, rather than change this set, she could pick the metal, silver, gold or copper as well as the color of beads.  

I am now in the process of making her custom order.   Silver  (using square silver wire, twisted, for the hoops), beads in shades of purple (for the K), and she requested a handmade chain rather than a plain silver chain so, I will be making the chain with links of matching purple beads (maybe seed beads and crystals, not quite sure yet) on silver wire.  I will upload the images when I complete her set.

The set above will be available at Nutkitten's Handcrafted Jewelry sometime tomorrow afternoon.

A Decorative Cross and Jewelry Set

Ok...So, I finally ordered some square wire.  For my very first time working with square wire I chose this decorative cross.  It's way to big for a pendant, but would go great hung on your mirror or over your bed.  I realize that it's FAR from perfect but, I think it could have been a lot worse.  And hindsight being what it is, I probably should have picked a first project that didn't utilize a ton of wire.  But I am blonde, so...go figure.
