my cousins designs and mine

my cousin is a designer like myself.  i currently do jewelry, she does handbags.  i would love to one day purchase one of her beautiful designs but can't right now.  each one is created in her mind and has a biblical story behind it that she shares.  i would love for you to check her and her designs out.  this is her link and you won't be sorry: http://www.facebook.com/#!/scarletcloverdesigns.

 

she encourages me and has invested in some of my designs.  this is what i designed for her so far:

 

 

these charms respresent the symbolism of her designs.  each on tells a story.  you should read about them.  this is in sterling silver and slowly but surely, we will add more to it.

 

she also likes my sari silk designs.  this is the latest thing i made her

 

 

and this one.

 

 

 

she wanted a bracelet to match so this is what i created for her today.  shhhh, she hasn't seen it yet.

Design your own

Believe it or not you have a lot of options with this one.  I have three colors of turquoise chunks (nuggets) of yellow, green apple, and blue.  Each chunk is individually wire wrapped on a contrasting corded necklace.  I contrasted the green apple with the pink but i have many different colored corded necklaces.  Choose your colors and design your own!  ($18)

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)

Glass Pearl Bracelet

Pastel glass pearls create a lovely bracelet. The silver beads mingle among the spring colored pearls for an accent.  $14

Pearl Drop Charm Necklace

A removable charm drop wire wrapped on a black adjustable length cord. Designed with the richest jewel tones of Freshwater Pearls, both coin, pillow and rice. I cannot believe how gorgeous these colors are. You will feel like a million dollars in this one!  ($15)

finally...

Yay, I did it!  I uploaded my first picture onto my blog.  Now what?  Ahhh, I know...I should tell you a little about me and my designs.

I am going to post pictures of some of the designs I create. Since each design is an original, there are no duplicates but, if you fall in love with one of these pieces and it was sold, I can most often design another one that is similar. If you don’t like it as much, no worries, there is no obligation to purchase.  (yes, the main purpose of this blog is to put my designs out there and hopefully elicitt some business to take care of my obsessive, compulsive purchase of stock)

If you have a preference for sterling or gold filled, just let me know and I can adjust the design. I offer clips, post and ear wires as well as spring clasp, lobster claws and toggles.

You may not see a set of a design (earrings, bracelet and necklace) on all the pieces but,that doesn't mean there isn't one or a set can't be created.

I use real gemstones and Swarovski crystals. I carry many sterling beads and gold filled beads but unless specified, the materials are not sterling or real gold. The prices listed do not reflect these high end materials but I can give you a quote upon request. I try to add a Christian symbol to most pieces I can so you know they are my designs; however, all designs are not conducive for that addition.


Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. All pieces come with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee!  

I invoice with PayPal and your location is not a problem.  I love discounts so I try to offer them when I get inspired.  Keep an eye out as you never know when that inspiration hits!  I do charge s/h, combine s/h for additional purchases, and will give you a total price of everything before invoicing you if you just ask.

I also create a catalog for those of my friends and customers who don't do the Internet.  I send them out periodically as the items sell and I make new ones. I will add you to the mailing list unless you ask me not to.


I also do designs by susan jewelry parties.  If you are interested in hosting a jewelry party for me and earn free jewelry, please let me know.

Now, about this bracelet.  I love this bracelet.  Can a designer have too many favs? Such glorious rich tones in these gold, burgundy, and green fresh water pearl coin and pillow pearls. All on an adjustable sterling silver plate chain. Need I say more?  ($25)
