I was happy to have a custom order to fill by Easter, and I finished the job just in time.

I had an additional 3 bracelets to add to the original order (of 3), and now I’ve got a few more beads in my collection. I really liked the Peridot bracelet, the beads are too pretty.

I really enjoyed creating this custom order, and getting to work with all of the new beads too. I might just have to expand my Nicostuff bracelet line.

It has been quite a while since I posted a jewelry project, but this one was just too pretty not to share. I love to make hematite jewelry, but occasionally I’ll get a request for a customized order. Sometimes it is a sewing project, but this time it was matching bracelets for a Grandmother, a Mother, and a little Daughter too.

This was a really fun project, and I really love how the birthstone bracelets turned out. I also got to work with Czech Glass beads, and sterling silver, too fun. I’m a bit partial to the Amethyst one, because I’m a February baby too…

Do you watch Top Design on Bravo? I try and catch it every week. I love interior design, but I really love to see what Kelly Wearstler will be wearing. Last episode, I was absolutely in love with Kelly Wearstler’s trio of Brooches that she wore towards the end of the show. I have a small collection of antique Brooches, and I thought I would take a little fashion tip from Kelly and add a few Brooches to one of my favorite dresses.

The trio of Brooches added a little sparkle to my basic black dress. Now I’m ready to hit the local shops and look for a few more Antique Brooches.

As you know, I love to make jewelry! Even thought Fall has arrived, I have a cute Summery Bracelet to share…

I’ve used Vintage Buttons,  Jump Rings, and a lot of patience to fashion the bracelet. I think that it would be cute in Turqouise and Chocolate Brown buttons too. If only I could find a vintage stash of those…
