ML Bangles

ML Bangles
I have designed a variety of styles of bracelets thus far, and here are the first samples of my bangles! I hand chose each charm on these two bracelets: one being a dragonfly charm surrounded by green gems and two heart charms and the other a snowflake charm surrounded by two clear gems, both of which are silver. However, these bangles are made to order--so you can add as many or few charms as you would like! The bangles (available in silver, gold, and brass colors) are $7.50 alone, and each charm varies in price. Please include the price range and style that you are would like in the body of your email. I love these bangles because they are stackable and they allow you to help in the designing process, making them that much more personal :)

AE Studs

LOVEEE these studs! They are the perfect go-to when you want to draw some attention to your ears but want to avoid the oversized blingy studs or hoops--I know they look tiny but trust me on this one--they are just enough! The multi-colored stones create an irridescent look when the light hits them, creating a gorgeous assortment of color. These sell for just $10.00, and a different pair have already SOLD at the Warwick Museum of Art Holiday Sale.

I am not going to make too many of these bangles for the main reason that they have such similar attributes as the Chamilia and Pandora bracelets, but I wanted to put my own flavor into the trend. I love, love, love sparkles so I had a lot of fun designing these pieces. Although I only have blue pictured, I can make these pieces in a plethora of colors, each being made to order. The round beads with the clear rhinestone studs are $5.25, and the blue rhinestone rhondel beads are $12.00 each, so depending on your price range you can choose how many of which bead you would like. Only want the rhondels? That works too, just include the details of what you would like in the body of your email :)

Bachic Grey Pearl Necklace

Bachic Grey Pearl Necklace
I do not design a lot of necklaces, but I have noticed how popular these non-symmetical cross necklaces are, so I wanted to put my own style on it. I am so upset that I cannot get a clear photo of the entire necklace (the one to the left is a little blurry). For some reason I cannot focus on the entire piece but I included some close ups of different segments of it.

The silver rhinestone cross falls along the left of the  necklace, and is surrounded by a combination of grey pearls and silver plated 8mm beads. A small silver toggle secures the piece and it sells for $35.00.

Bachic 3X Czech Glass Beads

Bachic 3X Glass Czech
I do not think I will ever get sick of the rhinestone covered crosses. I love this version of the trend, part of the Bachic Collection, which is made with purple, silver, black, and charcoal colored Czech glass beads. The jagged edges of each bead reflects the light in all different directions, always causing an eye catching glare. The contrast of the dark colored beads with the bright silver cross is also what makes this such a statement piece. This bracelet sells for $30.00.

All Eyes On Bey!

Today marked a huge day in history--not only Martin Luther King Day, but also President Obama's Second Inauguration. It was such a beautiful ceremony, but what stole the show for me? Beyonce's rendition of The Star Spangled Banner in her MASSIVE flower shaped 80-carat earrings that she paired with a matching 50-carat ring, both pieces by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. Below is an image from today that I found at Eonline.com. Her entire look was perfection today, and the jewels played a big role in that. Emeralds are very popular this season--love, love, LOVE.

Hello!

Hi friends--

I am back from England and had such an amazing time! I did some shopping, sight seeing, and of course scoped out the best jewels :)

One major thing I noticed was how crazy popular crosses (specifically oversized thin gold cross necklaces) are over there! I know that I have mentioned before the rising popularity of the cross here in America, specifically the different versions of the classic look including rhinestone embellished ones and also different colored ones. But I loved seeing that this trend is also so popular over there!

I also went into Harrods and took in the overwhelmingly beautiful array of diamonds, jewels, and watches. I could not take any photos of the actual pieces, and unfortunately I cannot put into words just how amazing everything was. However, I can say that my favorite sections were of course, the timeless Rolex watches, and the classic Chanel pieces. But, again, it was impossible to really pick any favorites from the immense amount of jewelry.

Another trend that I noticed were statement rings--all different colors, sizes, and shapes. And what I loved about these statement rings was that usually they were not overshadowed by other statement pieces, but rather worn alone or were accompanied by a simple necklace of bracelet.

So back to my Jordan Veronica Jewelry...

I finally have been able to work on a few pieces today, but I have been so tired from jet lag that I have not finished much. I am hoping that I will have more pieces added to the site throughout the course of the week!  Until then...
