Part I of Izumi Collection; Part I of Angie Collection

Remember when I did a jewelry parts swap with Sarah? Well I have been slowly using some of the pieces to make a themed collection, and finally got around to taking pictures of them! This collection is called the Izumi Collection :)

The first piece of the collection is the Izumi Bracelet:

*SOLD*

I used these beautifully faceted Mother of Pearl beads from Sarah, with Swarovski 8mm round crystals in Indian Pink and Rose Quartz round beads connected together with Sterling Silver criss-cross links as accents.

Sterling silver chains connect everything together with this delicate Sterling Silver twist clasp.

Approx. 7 inches long.

Price: $26

-------------------------------------------------------------

A while back Angie had showed me some earrings that she found at Nordstroms and suggested that I create some inspired pieces. So of course I did! I apologize it took me so long to do it...there are only one pair of earrings in the Angie Collection for now, but I will be adding more in the future.

Flower Drop Leverback Earrings

Little "flowers" made from Swarovski round beads in Crystal Shadow and Swarovski teardrop pendant in Tanzanite. These earrings are *extra sparkly* and are perfect for a special occasion or to go with a LBD.

Close-up:

The leverback ear wires are Sterling silver and the wrapping wires are silver plated.

Measures 1.5 inches

Price: $20

Purple Variations Necklace

Hello everyone!

I've actually made a ton of new jewelry lately but simply did not have the time to take pictures and update them because work has been so busy. But I actually got off before 11pm tonight so I decided to finally take pictures of pieces one by one. Hopefully I will be able to get more listings up this weekend.

** Purple Variations Necklace **

I have to say, I absolutely love this one. The asymmetry makes this necklace very interesting.

- Swarovski round crystals in various sizes and shades of purple from 6mm all the way to 22mm!! . Light amethyst, Purple Velvet, Violet Opal, Violet, and Crystal

- Sterling silver links

- Sterling silver chain and clasp

The chain hangs 18 inches.

Price: $30

Some Custom Requests

As I've mentioned in my last post, I've had lots of requests for different versions of the Pink Briolette Necklace.  

I wanted to show you some versions that I've made for different people~

This is the Modified version of the necklace with an added extender chain to make the length adjustable.

A Spring themed version of the Modified necklace with shades of cluster shades of light aqua, light green, and yellows.

A purple version with a crystal clear briolette. 

This was for Lily!  She chose the colors herself, and I must say they are gorgeous together!  Love the vibrant colors, it was nice to make a necklace with bold colors after making so many pinks and purples.  

One lovely customer also requested a matching purple set of earrings and bracelet to match the purple necklace~

She wanted a variation of the Violet Drop Earrings.  I substituted the silver charms for crystals for more bling, also changed up the colors of some of the crystals to make it more purple.

The bracelet with lots of crystals! Very purple indeed haha.

The whole set altogether~

Also made a Fuchsia version of the Modern Red Earrings.  She wanted magenta colored crystals instead of red, so I used these Cosmic crystals in Fuchsia instead of the Red Magma twist beads.  These beads are chunkier and more funky looking, I like them a lot! 

Lots of new pieces coming soon!! I brought my jewelry making supplies with me home so that I can work on more designs :D

Don't forget, the Cluster Briolette necklace is now a permanent piece and comes in 2 styles!  

Also, custom requests are always welcome :)

New Packaging and Made-to-Order Necklace

Hi guys, I am working on a new collection! Actually....several new collections!  Also did a swap with Sarah that I will be posting soon! So excited for it :)

Speaking of which, please check out her new Pretty Shimmers Collection!!  Made with the materials that I swapped with her...and named after me! So very honored :)  

------------------------

I have been busy working on fulfilling the orders that I received right before final exams! It was really fun making everything.

All finished in their little boxes!

Opened up~

This is going to be my new official packaging from now on...

Brown craft gift boxes hand decorated and tied with a natural hemp cord.  I like this "earthy" feel of the boxes I think they contrast quite nicely to the sparkly crystals and gemstones housed within.  The smaller box is for earrings and the larger box is for necklaces and bracelets.  

---------

Lately I have been getting a LOT of custom orders for this one particular necklace....

Remember the Pink Briolette Necklace from my very first Spring Pastels collection?

Well, I've had different people ask me to make variations of this necklace or ones similar in style, and I must've made like 6 different variations of this same necklace!  

Sooo since everyone has been requesting this necklace, I thought that it would make more sense to offer it as a permanent piece because I would hate to turn anyone away and say NO you cannot have it!  Which means this particular style will be available to anyone who wishes to order one, it will not be limited in quantity, and will be fulfilled on a made-to-order basis.

I will be offering two styles of this necklace:

Style #1.  Original 

Consists of one pendant and one cluster above it made of smaller crystals.  

This is priced at $20 (the original price) for a 16" chain. 

Longer chains are also available, please email me for pricing. 

Style #2: Modified

This style is similar to the original version but has 4 additional clusters.  This combines the style of the Rose Quartz Pendant Necklace from the same Springtime Pastels collection with the original style.  

This is priced at $25 for a 16" chain. 

Longer chains are also available, please email me for pricing. 

Of course, all sterling silver hardware used, except for the pendant wrapping wire which is silver plated.  

Also, you can also feel free to make any modifications to these designs.

All colors are customizable! That means.....you pick the color of the pendant and the colors of the cluster crystals!  Or you can give me a general color scheme or even a theme and I will pick the appropriate colors for you. 

Please email me at alltheprettyshimmers@gmail.com to place an order.  :)

Wrapped Part II

Hello all!

I said I would add more pieces to the Wrapped collection and I have kept my word! I made this necklace before finals week started so technically I am still a diligent student because I have not been making jewelry during my study times! haha. 

I have been wanting to make a piece like this since forever and I've finally gotten around to it!! I got some very thin silver wire to be able to make this and it was a lot of fun!  

*SOLD* Meet...The Rainbow Tree Necklace:

The design was, again, completely organic, and the branches sort of just "grew" out as I went along hehe.  That seems to be the theme with my Wrapped pieces hm? 

A lovely array of brightly colored Swarovski crystals, I really like the rainbow effect as opposed to just one or two colors.  This way, it will match any outfit you have! 

- The ring is made of solid Sterling Silver with a textured brushed metal effect.  
- Ring diameter measures 1.5 inches

- Swarovski bicone crystals in various colors, sorry I cannot remember all the names I used random ones that looked pretty.  

- Hangs on a 16" sterling silver chain and lobster clasp.  

Price: $22. 

Optional:  I can add a sterling silver chain extender for an additional $3 if you want the length to be adjustable.  

Email me at: alltheprettyshimmers@gmail.com to place an order.  Paypal only. Free U.S. & Canada Shipping!  Everywhere else is a flat-fee of $4.00.  

Modern Red Earrings, Repromote, and Announcement!

Thank you everyone for your interest in my jewelry! I am super excited to be working on some new pieces, and a NEW COLLECTION is in the works!! This collection will be dark, in contrast to my Springtime Pastels collection.

Since I have been getting a lot of requests for pieces that I've made in the past, particularly ones from the Springtime Pastels collection, I wanted to just make an announcement about this...

***First of all I really appreciate your interests in my previous pieces, it means a lot to me that you love them and are requesting for them!! However, I also realized that it is a little unfair to people who have ordered from me in the past when I have announced that those pieces would be one-of-a-kind, and I want to be able to offer pieces that are not mass-produced or repetitious, because I believe that makes them more valuable and definitely more special. So from now on, if you see something that I have made in the past that you really love, please let me know and maybe we can work on something that is similar in style and/or materials, but I will *not* be offering exact replicas of past pieces to ensure that each one is unique. I will be making tons of new designs in the future so I am sure that you will find something you like. Thank you so much for your understanding :) ***

Whew, ok now the serious stuff is out of the way, I want to show you my newest piece! This is a stand alone piece and does not belong to any one collection. I am SO in ove with these red Swarovski crystals, they are called Red Magma and they are so hot!! They are such strong statement crystals that I didn't want to add any other crystals to take away from their boldness. I love the modern silhouette of these earrings, so I named them Modern Red.

*SOLD*

That is my lovely roommate in the last picture holding up the earring next to her ear to show the length and drop. She's going to be my new jewelry model!! She's a little shy about showing her face, so only her gorgeous body parts will be shown hahaha, just her neck, wrist, and ears! She's got great collarbones and makes necklaces look FAB.

What it's made of~

-Sterling silver French earwires
- Sterlings ilver chains
- Swarovski Red Magma twist beads

Price: $18

--------------------------

Repromote!

haha just like MAC.

I had my roommate model the Organic Matter necklace so that you can see what it looks like when worn~

- Sterling silver chain and clasp

Wrapped

A mini collection!

After receiving a lot of positive feedbacks for the Birds' Nest earrings, I decided to experiment a little more with this wire-wrapped concept.  Only 2 pieces for now because they are extremely time consuming, but I will add to this collection in the future when I get new ideas :)

- Silver plated wrapping wire

Diameter measures 1 inch. 

Price; 18
