Silver&Gold, Silver&Gold....

It's here, it's here!!

I am so excited to share with you guys that the KT bracelet is now available in silver as well as the original gold!

I do not want to mislead--both variations of this design include a gold colored cross, however you now have the choice between the two colors for the bracelet itself. This piece just goes to show that the age old myth of silver and gold not being able to be worn together is beyond FALSE!

I love both versions of the bracelet,
which is your favorite??

More To Come...

I have been sooo busy trying to get all this jewelry business under control! Currently, my website is under serious construction, and I was hoping that it would be up and running by the end of the week, but I blinked and it is already Sunday!

I am hoping that I can put tons of work into it these next few days, but that all depends on if Sandy lets me on the internet.

I have been working on some pieces--the KT bracelet is now available in silver as well. Also, I will be working so hard this week preparing more Triple B bracelets, in a variety of colors, beads, and styles, but always keeping the signature design of the three loops, representing the three important factors of life:
Breathe, Believe, & Be :)

Stay Safe!

FG Necklace

It is difficult to see the detailed beading of this necklace with the dark background, so I will get a different picture up soon. But for right now, the face of this necklace is the focal point. The face actually came from an old brooch upon which I secured two Swarovski crystals over the eyes, adding that extra sparkle. I just love the uniqueness of this pendant, and it goes amazing with a solid color maxi dress or top. Trust me though, the beads are just as intricate as the face, so I will be sure to get that picture up ASAP :) This piece is one of a kind and therefore is a BachicSignaturePiece.

This necklace sells for $35.00

KT Bracelet

 I just finished this bracelet and could not wait to upload it. Not only is gold beyond popular this season, but crosses are everywhere in fashion jewelry right now, especially crosses covered in rhinestones. The gold beads surrounding the cross match perfectly and create almost a chain appearance to the piece. As the beads roll when the bracelet is put on, it fits most, however the wire is not able to truly expand as it is secured into the pendant. With this said, a larger wire can be used upon request. This piece sells for $35.00.

Triple B Bracelets

I have a new design of bracelets that I am so beyond excited to share with you and it is called...

TRIPLE B BRACELETS :)

Also known as a bubble bracelet, as this piece was inspired by the bubble skirt pictured below, the bracelet contains two strands of beads that come together in two places by a certain bead or charm, creating three circles along the bracelet. Each circle signifies a major aspect of life: Breathe, Believe, & Be. Too often we get aught up in the stresses and difficulties of life, and this bracelet signifies just the opposite--sometimes we need to just stop and take a deep breath, believing that things will work out. As they say, "everything will be okay in the end, if it is not okay, it is not the end."

This is an example of a bubble skirt designed by Alice + Olivia. The shape of this skirt, as it creates pleats by gathering underneath, inspired me to gather the two strands of beads into the one large bead, creating the three loops. I love the shape and believe it works beautifully in both clothing and jewelry. What do you think??

WW Earings

These earrings make an amazing gift as the holidays are approaching. The antique silver snowflake shapes are adorned by Swarovski rhinestones and also rhinestones from a broken vintage brooch. The staff of the earring was actually a separate piece which I was able to pierce through the tip of the snowflake and the silvers match perfectly. The small design on the  staff also has a rhinestone on it. The snowflake design is 1 and 1/4" in width. These earrings sell for $40.00

Triple B: OP Bracelet

This is one of my signature Triple B bracelets, and this specific color combo is the OP version. The two stones contain a deep plumb color with streaks of gold and peach, which is why the transparent purple and peach glass beads surrounding the stones are perfect. Each stone is also surrounded by a rhinestone-covered setting. The smaller silver toggle clasp is elegant and an amazing accent to this bracelet. The colors of this piece pop, and are great for forgetting about the cold winter that is approaching! This bracelet sells for $50.00.

F.G. Bracelet

I literally just finished this piece and could not be more proud of it. Of course, as I said, the color palette is of golden tones and yet again I use a toggle clasp, but this time a smaller, crisp silver type. The combination of small beads, pearls, and clay beads creates a composition that is both eye catching and very unique. The intricate designs on the clay beads are beautiful and very defined, adding just enough sparkle to the piece. The fact that everything is gold/brown aside from the base and clasp proves that gold and silver work together and do so beautifully. This piece sells for $35.00

gold, gold, gold!

With the sudden chill in the air, I cannot help but turn to my usual Fall/winter golden tones. I am not sure if it is the warmth of these colors, but I am always obsessed with gold and different shades of brown in my accessories when the weather becomes colder. I begin to notice that each piece that I make, unless I make it a point to pick something different, will at least have an accent of these tones if it is not fully engulfed by this palette. It is obvious in the piece that I just finished, titled F.G. bracelet. Check it out :)

R.V. Bracelet

This bracelet is a combination of stones and three & four millimeter beads. The diversity in golden tones that it contains are perfect for fall. I really like the look and durability of the toggle, so most of my bracelets have some form of the clasp. This bracelet sells for $20.00.

The Number one accessorized celeb of the 2012 Emmy’s goes to…

Emily Van Camp and her Van Cleef jewelry.

I have been a little obsessed with gold lately, but I love how she brought the silver color back and I agree with Giuliana Rancic when the journalist said how feminine the actress’s jewels were–specifically the bow tie-shaped bracelet. She did not over-do it, but rather she took one focal piece and then chose simpler pieces including stud earrings and a statement ring to pull the look together. All in all these accessories are elegant and beautiful and kept my attention the entire night. 

The 2012 Emmy’s Jewelry :)

So Sunday’s Emmy Awards brought lots of sparkle to the red carpet. As always, E! did amazing coverage of the stars arriving, and this paired with their new “mani-cam,” we the viewers got a first hand view of the stars’ jewels!  I put together a list of my top five jewelry pieces of the night.

First of all, it needs to be said that diamonds were the accessory of the night, and Neil Lane did an amazing job of designing a majority of pieces containing the spectacular stone. But another trend that was common throughout the night was drop earrings containing different color stones and also statement rings–both of which I am a huge fan of.

Here are my top five for the night:

Number four goes to Miss Kerry Washington and her Fred Layton jewels. Aside from her Vivienne Westwood dress which, as the actress said is a jewel in itself, her subtle pieces include simple drop earrings and diamond ring, both of which compliment the dress exquisitely.

If you can take your eyes off of her unbelievable turquoise cut out sparkly dress, notice Sofia Vergara’s gorgeous Neil Lane jewels…175 carats worth to be exact. Neil Lane was a fixture on tonight’s red carpet, which only means one thing: the carpet was dripping in diamonds.

Number 3 goes to Hedi Klum and her Lorraine Schwartz earrings. I do not love the fact that the accessories match the dress so perfectly, but I cannot deny how gorgeous these earrings are. They are oversized not only at the bottom, but also at the staff which is not seen very often. I love how different they are and always fall for this shade of blue.

Nearly winning my number one position, Giuliana Rancic absolutely nailed her look on the red carpet this year. Her Sutra earrings paired beautifully with her Romona Keveza gown and her amaze strappy Jimmy Choo heels. In addition, I am obsessed with her hair and her look entirely. However, just looking at the jewels alone, I love them but not enough to take the number one spot. But still gorge!

And the best jeweled celebrity of the night goes to…

Abstract Swirl Bracelet by Mark Edge

This Absract Swirl bracelet is by jewelry designer Mark Edge and the image was taken directly from his website Markedge.com. He made this piece of 14 kt. gold a unique work of art. I love this bracelet and how thin and chic it is. It is so different looking and can be worn by itself or with a few other thin gold pieces or a statement ring. Pieces like this one are what great inspiration comes from. 

My Angel

Here is a picture of me and my Bachi two years ago when she and my family came to see me at school. You can see even in this picture that she matched her sweater to her light blue leather cord necklace that has a sea glass charm on it. I just love how she would accessorize, she put so much thought into each outfit and piece of jewelry she put on. I miss her so much and everyday look to her for support and guidance from heaven. I know she would absolutely love my Bachic Jewelry, and that is what motivates me to keep making it. To be honest, she would kill me if I ever gave up! So each piece, no matter how different or unique, is based on inspiration from Bachi and is designed to keep her legacy alive. She was my best friend and the person that I would spend hours talking about jewelry and fashion. Whether she was going to the grocery store or out to dinner, she accessorized her look with a beautiful pair of earrings or a great necklace/ statement ring, and I have always admired her ability to put a look together. She will forever be my inspiration in life.

Bachi, I love&miss you more everyday, so this blog and jewelry line is dedicated to you, my angel.
