Some Custom Designs

So even though I haven't had an opportunity to add some of my designs to my Etsy store yet I have been keeping busy with a few custom designs. First, I was able to alter a beautiful crystal necklace for a friends mother and make some matching earrings to go with it. Being the mother of the bride meant she was going to be photographed a lot. Thankfully, she loved the earrings and the photos of the wedding came out wonderful...I'll post those soon!

Second, I had a friend the was very sad after her favorite swallow necklace broke. She bought the necklace from me when I was a sales rep for another jewelry company so luckily it wasn't one I designed! That had me sweating! Anyhow, she wore that necklace all the time and it finally broke and was laid to rest. I tried to find a replacement for her but it's no longer being made. I told I'd take a shot at designing my own version of a swallow necklace with some better quality materials. Once again I'm happy to say I have another happy customer! I'll be sure to post a picture of this one also once i catch her wearing it at church!

Etsy Store Launch

I finally feel comfortable starting to add some of my designs to my Etsy Store. I should have a few pieces in the store by end of April after getting them photographed adequately!

Check out chestofgems.etsy.com early May 2010. I'll be sure to put out an alert on my blog once it's open!
