Gemstone Wrist Candy

I've been so busy, but I finally have had a chance to take some me time and do what I love most ... get creative.  From glittering things to making jewelry, nothing makes me happier than spending a few minutes (or hours) making something with my hands.  No TV or radio on, I just like to sit and make and not have to think about things.  I do far too much thinking on a daily basis.

After selling out of almost all my previous bracelets I've come back with some new designs and old favorites.  All my bracelets can be worn alone or paired with another piece. For sales leave a comment or  contact me at dellafavorite@gmail.com.

From left to right: 1) silver plated hematite with turquoise accent; 2) amethyst; 3) amethyst and fancy jasper; 4) silver painted beads; and 5) amethyst and crystal accent beads.

From left to right: 1) chrysocolla and crystal accent beads; 2) chrysoprase and crystal accent beads; & 3) red agate, turquoise, and crystal accent beads.  

From left to right: 1) and 2) turquoise, red agate, and amethyst; & 3) and 4) gold plated hematite and chrysoprase.  

I also wanted some of my bracelets to have character and be able to be worn various ways with the one side being more elaborate than the other.  What's cool about this look is that one bracelet looks like two different bracelets depending on how you wear or view it.  I've received tons of compliments wearing this type of bracelet doing my post Christmas shopping at the mall.

I'm back

I'm back.  Well, I've been back from my fabulous vacation in Portugal, but had to start the new semester so I've been a little busy.  Yes, school trumps blogging.  I was able to make the winner's bracelets and send them out and I'm really happy with them.

 Red Jasper, Chrysoprase, and Chrysocolla - 8mm set

I love the combination of these three beads.  The winner, Miranda, told me she liked the color green and orange and after thinking about her current situation I knew exactly what to make.  The combination of these three gemstones is great for attract love into one's life, but also help to keep one's emotions calm and stable, enhances mental clarity, and encourage your own voice so you can see through prospective persons that are no good for you.  Further this combination offers protection and helps heal the heart.  Plus, the beads are gorgeous together.

Portugal was amazing and I have so much I want to talk about but I'm going to save my trip details for another time.

Contest

Thank you to all those who entered my contest and a congratulations to Miranda!  Your bracelet will be made in the next few days and sent out to you.  I'll share the finished product with the rest of you in the near future, but first I would like the recipient to be surprised.

I've been making a lot of bracelets lately and taking custom orders.  I personally love custom orders and being able to make something personalized, while getting creative.  Don't hesitate to contact me if you are interested in handmade, unique, one of a kind bracelets.  All my beads are made with love!
