New Jewelry Designs From Jacaranda Designs

I thought this weekend was going to be a write off in terms of getting anything done but lo and behold I actually had time to take my camera out and capture a few of my new designs. I also re-photographed a couple of my older designs as I was never happy with the way the first pictures turned out.

Hope you like them and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

First New Jewlery Designs of The Year

Christmas was fun, the break was lovely but now I'm back at work coming up with some new jewelry designs. I've just added three new earring designs. They're lovely for a classic look and perfect for a wedding...yes, brides are starting to plan for their spring and summer weddings. Anyway, hope you like the new additions.

Some Fresh New Designs For The Holidays

I've been busy last week designing some fresh new pieces of jewelry for my shop. I bought some really cool beads and findings in New York and couldn't wait to start creating.

I love the lucite leaves and the little cherry red beads that look like they've been covered in sugar. Yummy!



Pink Blossom Earrings - a lovely, fun color!



Green Hydrangea Necklace - Vintage Gamour!


Luxe Silver and Pearl Earrings - Wedding anyone?


Etched Floral Earrings

Flower Bloom Necklaces - New Additions

I've added some new flower bloom necklaces. My Green Tea Pearl Bloom Necklace was so popular that I decided to add some variations on the theme. And has the price of silver gone up? I went to my silver wholesaler yesterday and spent a staggering amount on supplies to see me through the summer and possibly the fall. Not looking forward to the credit card bill!

Next Two Weeks of Freedom!

In two weeks my boys break up from school for the summer holidays! Ican't believe where the year had gone. I don't exactly lose my freedom when they're home, it's just harder to get any work done. I love having them around but I do get used to time on my own while they're at school.

So seeing as I'm going to be fairly busy for June, July and August and I don't want my Etsy business to go down the tubes, I am using these last two weeks wisely. Went shopping for beading supplies the other day and bought enough to see me through the summer. I've also been ordering some different supplies on Etsy too. My job this next week is to figure out what silver supplies I'm going to need and visit the silver wholesaler next week.

I also have tons of jewelry that I haven't got around to photographing so yesterday I took photos from 9am to 3pm. My eyes were red and scratchy by the time I finished but what a relief to get some of thos pics taken!

I've just posted one new item for today and then I think I'm taking the rest of the day off! heading out to lunch with friends which will be lovely on this rainy, gloomy day.

So here's the newest item I posted. You'll be seeing more of these types of designs coming in the next few months! I love the simplicity of these beads!

Have a wonderful day everyone and don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Cool Clasps

I'm always on the lookout for really different, good quality clasps for the jewelry I make. I think that a stunning clasp can finish off a piece perfectly. I also like to incorporate the clasp into necklaces so that the clasp may be worn at the front and appear as part of a lovely design, rather than being hidden at the back of the neck. Here's a few of my favourite!

And so it begins! MARCH BREAK

Today is the last day of school for a couple of weeks as March Break starts here in Ontario. I'm going to try posting on my blog, but it's going to be busy with the boys home.

Yesterday I made another of my love knot bracelets. I think this is my all time favorite.

Also, made some bird nest earrings the other day. I can't take credit for the design. I found a tutorial on the web and decided to try my hand at it.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend! and don't forget to enter my jewelry giveaway!
