I'm very pleased with the results. I have been working in a smaller and smaller scale. It is amazing how much my collection has changed since that first year of chunky beaded neckaces. I also finally got around to photographing the plethora of items I have made but never posted to my Etsy shop. Right now I have 75 items to be added to the store, YAY!! Here is just a taste of what I have been working on.
Michelle Necklace - Rose Gold & Sterling Silver - Small $28
This design is available in three sizes. Currently I have it in Sterling Silver, Gold Filled and Rose Gold with Sterling. I'm ordering some White Gold as well and will be pairing that with oxidized Sterling, which I am very, VERY excited about.Willa Necklace - Sterling Silver & Peridot - Small $39
The Willa Necklace has been a part of the shop for a year now but this version is my favorite. It is just ONE INCH across, slightly smaller than a US Quarter. What I love about this size is I am able to use gemstone chips. I have had them in stock for a while but they were too small for the original design. So far, I have made this version with Peridot, Emerald, Aquamarine, Tanzanite, Andaulisite, Tourmaline, Spinel and some genuine Sleeping Beauty Turquoise.Olivia Earrings - Sterling Silver $32
This design was first inspired by a tree I used to walk past all the time in Australia. I originally designed the Olivia Necklace which was a larger scale with several stones added. I had several requests for earrings in the design but I just couldn't make it work. Now my skills have evolved and I can produce smaller, more consistent results. I'm really pleased with the design and I'm extra pleased that the photos do them justice. I'm considering offering them with a stone between the top of the stem and the earring hook. But for now, they are available like this is Sterling Silver, Gold Filled, Rose Gold & White Gold.In addition to these new items, I will be adding more Berry Pendants, Berry Rings, Ursula Rings and Natalia Earrings to the shop. I also have the Lynn and Lynnette Earrings in a smaller size. I will be adding these items over the next week. A secret sale is coming up in August when I return from a computer/cell phone/responsibility free week on the Maine coast from August 10th - 15th.
And last, but not least. I have caught up on my Gift Certificate drawings. I have drawn 20 names from a hat to win a $25 Gift Certificate to my shop. I am notifying the winners today. Check your email to see if you have won!
