janaes jewels

Where did the week go? It seems like just yesterday I was planning for the day of ironing and listing vintage linens with sis Kate and friend Laurie. Well it's Friday again, and it's been a busy week and I've missed a couple of days here. I'll try not to make it a habit!

Welcome Kate...

I twisted her arm to follow my blog.

I'll try to keep it fun.

Anyway - finished up some Etsy Alchemy work last night. I had two fabulous customers wanting entirely different type designs. One in 14K Yellow Gold and one in Sterling Silver.
                                                       The 1st picture is Hessonite Garnet Rondels attached to a 14K yellow gold chain.

The 2nd picture - Handblown glass beads - 28mm Rounds on Sterling Silver chain with a toggle clasp.

I made a bunch of stretch bracelets - I call them my signature pieces. I have nerve damage in my wrists and lots of athritis throughout mybody and as much as I love jewelry, it isn't always easy to wear it due to the weight of it. Now, I know that stretchy bracelets are not new, but I make them with 10K & 14K gold beads in white rose and yellow gold. So, you have the luxury of solid gold or gemstone and gold bracelets but without the heaviness of the metal and clasps. I'll post a couple when I take pics...and will let you know where I list them.            

Not sure what's up for the weekend.

I'll probably touch base at least once.

As for all of you...Have a great one and think about letting me hook you and yours up for the holidays!!!!
