Successful Jewelry Trunk Show-Yeah! =)

I had a super jewelry trunk show last night at the Baubles and Bling Open House. It was an intimate group with wine and all kinds of goodies served with the help of some dear friends. How I love baked brie and cupcakes so light they float! =)

This morning, I was contacted to design jewelry for a wedding that is happening this Sunday evening. Luckily, I had the perfect design in stock and it just needs to be shortened. Her daughter will also be in the bridal party and I'm making a silver necklace with 3 pearl drops; the chain will be adjustable so she can continue to wear her chain as she grows. I just love working with brides ; it is an honor to work with someone to create the jewelry to reflect the bride for that very special day!

I am also shopping for a new shopping cart system for the handcrafted jewelry boutique. I think I found one...Zen-Cart?? I want my pages to be easier to navigate and for customers to be able to shop by price, color, materials, etc...

Another short post, I'm off to see my son at his kindergarten reception. He was so excited this morning that he was going to be moving on to 1st grade.

TGIF everyone!

Want to make Mom something special???? Free Jewelry Tutorial

Here is a super quick and simple jewelry design idea for those of you who like to give hand crafted gifts but are not into jewelry making.

What you will need for this project:

20 inches of organza, suede, or silk cord (your color, your choice)
Inspiration Charm
Hook and Eye Clasp-Crimping style
Flat nose pliers
HypoCement

1. Take your stringing material (organza, suede or silk) and visually mark the center. Tie the Inspiration Charm at the middle.

2. Decide whether you want the design to be 16 or 18 inches long. Measure equal distances from the charm. Do NOT cut anything yet.

3. You may make a knot, slide on a bead (optional), and then slide your stringing material through the hook and eye clasp crimp.***Buy the appropriate size crimping hook and eye clasp for the material being used.*** Using your flat nose pliers, crimp the hook and loop clasp. Put a touch of hypocement on. Let dry and then cut the excess as closely as possible.

4. Voila you are done! Want to make it adjustable? Using a split ring add a chain extender!

All of these supplies will be available at your local beading or craft store. I have put links in to Fire Mountain Gems so you may see the findings I am discussing.

Remember if you live in the Dallas -Fort Worth area, let me host a jewelry trunk show for you and your gal pals. We can work together to have a fun and easy project or you can just sip and shop! :)
