Something Old

I love the use of old items in alot of the NEW jewelry you can find in you local Department stores or online. The use of old keys, old scarfs, old pictures and cameo's are something for the eyes to gaze on.

It really puts the designers gifts on display. What some people can do with old buttons is amazing... making them look nothing like buttons. Also, the use of old found things like pictures, ceramic, vintage crystal (from chandelier and lamp shades).... Just makes me say, why didn't I think of that. All goodies for the eyes and wonders for the brain.

So if you are a designer of jewelry or any crafter... never look at something old once, look and look again. Never know what you may see. Now if you are the buyer... never let the opportunity to own a unique one of a kind or unusual piece of jewelry that makes you smile and all others admire each time you wear it.

I'm off to find something old... so I can make it new..

Making a Statement

That old adage, "remove one piece of jewelry before you leave the house" is long gone!! It is now  fashion forward to wear more than one piece of "statement" jewelry at a time.

If you are going to go bold on your accessories, choose an outfit that is clean and classic. You don't want to overload on accessories with an outfit that is also full of embellishment and pattern.

Always make a statement! We DARE you!

Jewelry Anyone?

One thing is for sure.... Jewelry never goes out of style (we all have our own jewelry style). But the new trends include it more than ever before. The right accessory makes an outfit in today's fashion industry. No matter the size, the color, or the length..... it is all good.

While looking through several fashion magazines I noticed EVERYTHING was coupled with beautiful jewelry... Even the most simplest of dresses or shirts, the focal was the jewelry. Alot of the big name fashion designers now have there own line of jewelry fashioned after the look of Handmade Jewelry... Our skills are popular and in high demand...

So don't slow down, keep your juices and creativity going. Today's consumer is always on the hunt for that unique OOAK piece of jewelry. Handmade jewelry is growing in popularity... we no longer have to hunt for customers, by wearing your OOAK pieces most times you catch the eye of men and women alike. You know longer have to ask...... "Jewelry anyone?" The question is now asked of you....

So keep creating and Enjoy!
