A gift from Jamie Bowers of Viola and Jean

I received these gorgeous earrings as an unexpected gift from my customer Jamie Bowers of Viola and Jean. What a pleasant surprise!! These earrings traveled all across the globe and I immediately wore them although was still in my PJs. They were so lightweight and comfortable that I wore them all evening too.


These playful earrings are a slight different take on her Cinderella earrings. Jamie describes them as "The color combination has the distinct feeling of sunset. A Baroque white pearl starts the tassel made of Gunmetal and Silver Chain with Tundra Sapphires in red, orange and taupe, a deep yellow Tourmaline and Tiger Eye, finished by a silver pearl hung from handmade earrings hooks. They’re perfect for flagging down a ride and finding glass slippers. Never feel stranded again."

Thank you so much Jamie, for this wonderful gift! I will cherish these earrings forever!

BRIDAL PORTFOLIO - GLADYS

I received some professional pictures from my beautiful bridal customer Gladys! Doesn't she look lovely?

Gladys wanted an ivory pearl and rhinestone bracelet and earrings set for her romantic gown. She also requested the set to be made using gold metal. I made her jewelry using Freshwater pearls, Cubic Zirconia components and gold filled and gold plated parts.

I had a great time interacting with the bride and making this jewelry! I hope that you like them too! A million thanks to the generous bride for sending me these pictures! Thank you Gladys!

J. Beth Design - Be You, Be Free

I get super excited every time a customer of mine shows me a picture of what they have created with my beads. So , when I received a message from the very talented Johannah of J. Beth Design, I had to share her creation with you!

Johannah bought these gorgeous faceted 3-D Teardrop Emerald Briolette Beads.

She made these lovely Lucky Charms earrings with those briolette.

Johannah describes that Emeralds are the birthstone for May and is said to bring good luck. She hand-shaped the hoops and added the deep rich faceted Emeralds and Thai sterling silver hammered charms.

Johannah is not only an artisan jewelry designer, but her jewelry is a little unconventional and abstract. Be you, be free amongst the wonderful collection of J. Beth Design!

BRIDAL PORTFOLIO - TABATHA

I finally got around to uploading the wedding pics that I received from my beautiful bridal customer Tabatha! Isn't she the most gorgeous of brides?

I made her bridal jewelry, jewelry for the mother for the bride and also for her bridesmaids. Her colors were chocolate and sage green. For the bridesmaids, I used white Coin pearls, a green gemstone called prehnite and a chocolate colored gemstone called smoky quartz to make necklaces and earrings for her bridesmaids. I also used a fancy sterling silver "ball and chain" chain for the necklaces.

For the bride and her lovely mom, I used Swarovski pearls as the primary component along with a hand-set rhinestone filigree part. I used pale cream pearls for the bride and pale mocha for the mother of the bride.

I had a fantastic time making this jewelry! I hope that you like them too! A million thanks to the generous bride for permission to use these pictures! Thank you Tabatha!

Bridal Customer Raves on TheKnot.com!

I created a set of 6 Bridesmaid's necklace and earrings and one more set for the maid of Honor for bridal client of mine. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the products and had a clear sense of design. When the client knows exactly what she wants, it is essentially all down-hill from there. :)

The design incorporated Swarovski crystal flat briolettes in Crystal AB color along with Black (Jet) and Crystal AB bicone crystals. The designs were given to me by my customer. I just applied those ideas to metal and crystals.

These are the final jewelry pieces.







Imagine my utter delight when I found out that she has raved about my jewelry on the message board of TheKnot.com! Wow! What an honor! This just made my day!!

Whoo!!
