Aloha Pink Hawaiian Jewelry

Over the next few weeks I'll be adding new spring jewelry to my shop.  Today's featured pieces would actually be cute for spring or summer.  I found these adorable silver flower beads a few weeks ago.  To me, they screamed: "Hawaii!  The Beach! Tropical!  and Malibu Barbie!"

Obviously for the name, I used the Hawii theme!

The beads I used for these are Czech glass, and as you can see, they have shimmers of gold and green inside, which really adds a lot to the look and shine of the beads.  To learn more about this bracelet, please check out my shop listing.

I'm really excited about the necklace.  I've been planning to make some necklaces in this style, and the Aloha is my first one! 

The assortment of beads and charms you see in the picture is just the focal point of this piece. This is all 
suspended from an 18 inch chain with a lobster clasp.

And when you actually wear it, it will fall along your body or wardrobe as shown above.  For more info on the dimensions, etc, please see my shop listing.

Pink & Chic Pendants

Continuing with my Pink & Chic collection, I recently added these pendants to my shop.  These feature the same glass pearls and pink crystals that are included in the other Pink & Chic items.  And they are very simple and elegant.

Each pendant I add to my shop will come with some type of necklace chain, unless otherwise noted.

The first is the Pink & Chic Double Drop Pendant.  And it comes with an 18 inch silver plated chain with a lobster clasp. This one is actually two pendants in one.  In my shop listing, I state that you can get this customized.  If your prefer to have the circle on bottom, I can rearrange them for you.  And I'll also be happy to separate the two links for you, giving you two smaller pendants that you can swap up and wear one at a time.

The second pendant is the Pink & Chic Teardrop Pendant.  Glass seed beads come together to create the tear drop shape, which surrounds a charm made up of a glass pearl and pink crystals.  The pendant comes with an 18 inch slide chain.

Also, check my shop this month for great sales on several of my earrings, including all my petites!  I also have 3 Valentine's Day bracelets left which will be marked down this week.

Pink & Chic Jewelry

This week I've added this lovely necklace and pair of earrings to my etsy shop.  These two pieces match the Pink & Chic Braclet that I shared last week with my other Valentine creations.  I love these because they are very soft and elegant looking with a slightly vintage appeal. 

The Pink & Chic Oval Drop Earrings are both elegant and fun.  The earrings dangle a total of an inch and a half from the ear, and are a really good size and weight.

This Pink & Chic Pearl Chain Necklace is one of my favorite things that I've made lately.  This is a long chain, measuring 30 inches, and the pink pearls just look so pretty with the round and oval shaped, silver links.  And it would just look so lovely with a dressy top, a sweater, or a jacket.

In the future I'd like to make some more necklaces and maybe even some bracelets based on this design.

What colors would you like to see?

More Valentine's Day Jewelry

If you follow my main blog Simply Sweet Home you've already seen some of the pieces I've added to my shop for Valentine's Day.  And I'm really excited to say that they've been selling Yay!  Unfortunately I didn't expect such a great turn out for Valentine's Day, so I only made a few items. 

I've had a few different people ask about my Dangle My Heart bracelet, which sold last week.  They were wondering if I was going to make anymore, and one person asked about buying several of them.  I wanted to order all the materials for that particular buyer.  Unfortunately I searched around and one of the key components to that bracelet would take about 3 weeks to get here, and the buyer needed them sooner than that. (Rats!)  I looked around for all sorts of similar alternatives, but no luck.

But I have added a few more Valentine's pieces, so maybe someone will like these too.  And I ordered a ton of supplies over the weekend, including some heart charms, so I might be able to make something with that before Valentine's Day gets here. 

Here are some of my latest creations:

Red Queen of Hearts Bracelet

Pink and Chic Pearl Bracelet

Blue Heart Valentine Bracelet

By the way, you can still use the HAPPYNEWYEAR coupon code and get 15% off.  This will be up through the end of the week.
