Wedding Collection - Part 2

Last week I featured a recent commission for three bridesmaid cuffs.  I thought I would share with you the brides cuff as well as the earrings I made to compliment the ensemble.

The bride is wearing a comb/headpiece in her hair with oval shapped diamontees and pearls, so I sourced out some vintage montees complimented with Swarovski pearls to loom as the central point of the brides cuff. 

The earrings I designed for the bridesmaid is an Ellad2 design. 

The wedding is later this month, so I look forward to sharing pictures with you of the wedding party wearing my designs.

YOJ - Week 8: Multiples

"For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward" ... Jim Rohn

The theme for this weeks challenge was timely has I had been commissioned to create three bridesmaids cuffs!  The dress material sample I was provided was a blessing and in consultation with the bride I was able to match the oyster colour using one of the fabulous hues from the Miyuki Delica collection.

Each bridesmaid will wear a OOAK (one of a kind) Caron Michelle original.  I designed the cuffs changing one element in each one so that each cuff is an original and no two designs are the exactly the same.

Year of Jewelry - Week 5: Déjà Vu

"The essential of the déjà vu is rather the negation of the present than the affirmation of the past ..."  Pierre Janet (1948)

How often have you had that feeling of seeing something and experiencing that thought of having at one time seen it before - well this weeks entry for YOJ  is exactly that!  You have seen this cuff before - it is my most popular design - the mini cuff! 

Enjoy!

Year of the Jewelry - Week 4: Not from the Mall

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort ... " Franklin D. Roosevelet

The YOJ challenge for this week is Not from the Mall.  I like to support handmade or local suppliers where I can.  The beads to create this weeks challenge were bought locally - and I certainly haven't seen anything like this at the local mall.

Enjoy Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

The Year of Jewelry Project - Week 1 - Renewal

True to my word, my first challenge I have set myself for 2013 is to complete as many weeks as I can of The Year of Jewelry Project.  I had entered previously but failed miserably.  There is so much talent amongst this years participants, I look forward to personally challenging myself to meet the challenge of the week.

For week 1 the challenge was renewal.  My Phoenix cuff is the epitome of renewal - rising from the ashes to obtain new life.  The pendant on the cuff was my inspiration and has gained new life to be enjoyed once again.
