Happy 2013 !

Happy New Year everyone! Hope the year has started off right for all of you.

The christmas season was busy as usual and I'm very happy that whole gifts made it under the Christmas tree for many this year. Thank you so much to all our loyal gift-ians.
Grandmas are very special and this holiday season there were a lot of requests for meaningful designs for this special lady. Now that all surprise gifts have been opened and oooed and ahhhed over, it's safe to post some of the custom creations.




This is a sparkly bracelet created with vintage Czech glass beads and luxurious 22kt gold components
.Its hard to find beads that match the luster of old Czech fire polish beads but the Swarovski encrusted heart in the center can hold its own.

It's for a very sweet and wonderful grandma from her two grand kids Z and D.












Here we have personalized, hand stamped silver pendants for both their grandmas from three grand kids.









Hope the grandmas are enjoying wearing their Christmas gifts.....I sure had a lot of fun making them!

Spring Suite-- Colors !

Spring Colors Bracelet

Last week was a wash out in the bay area, it rained pretty much all the time.

It was also a little girl's birthday.
She wanted to have her birthday party outdoors, in the park with the flowers blooming and birds singing. But the weather here did not cooperate.

This set was created for her in color tones reminiscent of spring flowers....so she could have spring with her even when it rained.

The bracelet is made with amethyst, aquamarine, citrine and peridot beads interspersed with gold Toho spacers.

Spring Colors Earrings

The matching earrings are strung with gold wire
for a little bit of shine and sparkle.


What a lovely way to carry some of the charm of spring with you all the time !

Valentine Series.....For the Sweetheart

Just when the New Year buzz is winding down and almost all resolutions are going downhill rapidly, Valentines Day is here bringing with it its own share of guilt ridden goodies.

The goodies feature here thankfully are not going to do anything to your waistline...they will only swell the heart with love !

This simple purple bracelet is cute and charming. Purple is the color of February's birth stone (amethyst) and this will also make a wonderful gift for a february birthday.



Purple glass pearls and vintage glass bracelet






 

Rose Quartz & Sterling Silver Ear rings

To make this gift even more special, pair it up with these matching ear rings. The delicate color of the quartz heart dangles matches the dainty color tone of the bracelet. 

Sweetheart Set

And there you have it, a "suite" of jewelry for your sweet heart !

Hark the herald angels sing....

Another Christmas inspired piece, this bracelet of red jasper chips is made to resemble the decorative garlands strung around Christmas trees. The tiny but very detailed silver angel adds just the right amount of sparkle.

This antique brass angel and swarovski crystals strung simply on red organza ribbon can be tied around the wrist or neck.It can also be used as a bag tag or zipper pull and even as a fancy gift tie...perfect for the discerning.
