New Black and Pewter Jewelry

I'm in the process of adding some new items for Winter and Valentine's Day.  I recently made a bracelet like the one above for my mom for Christmas.  She loves silver and black together, so it was a perfect combination for her.

And just in time for the new year, you can now order your own Black & Pewter Elegance Bracelet.

I've also created a pair of  Black & Pewter Elegance Earrings  to match.

And for all my readers and friends, I've just added a new coupon code so that you can get 15% off your next order.  Just enter the code: HAPPYNEWYEAR  at check out!

Very Blue Earrings

 I absolutely love the color blue!  For this pair of earrings, I used blue and cobalt blue beads.  The colors blend very well together, while at the same time, providing a slight contrast with one another.

And like my other Czech glass creations, they sparkle and shine!

Please check out this shop listing, which includes a new lower shipping rate!

And don't foget that this month's special is a free bracelet with any purchase!

Clear Petites

I sold a pair of these Clear petites through a special listing back in July, and finallly decided to relist them here.    I also have these with a third bead added to the bottom, following the Past-Present-Future Motif that came out a few years ago.  So if anyone is interested in that, Ill add those to my shop as well.

I also plan to relist the blue petites very soon, and I'll also be adding Red and Black Petites for the first time.

My Newest Earrings in Black & Silver

I just listed these lovely earrings in my shop.  I titled them, "Black Bead and Flower Dangle Earrings."  Not the most creative of names, but as I understand it, it's better to give them a name that's easily searchable, and this is the best thing I could come up with to describe them!

Anyway, I just recently made these, and I'm very happy with how they turned out. They're actually may be my favorite thing that I've made so far.  I don't know about you, but I just love silver/white colored jewelry, and I also love it when it's paired with black, so this is just the perfect combination for me.

Here's a link to the shop listing if you're interested in purchasing: Black Bead and Flower Dangle Earrings. 

And these are included in my Buy One, Get One Half Off and my Buy 2, Get One Free offer!

Thanks for looking!  For other black and silver colored jewelry, please check out my shop.  I have a couple of other things there and will probably add some more black earrings soon.

Christmas in September? Okay!

I know it's way early for Christmas, but when you're a blogger or a crafter, you gotta think ahead, and since I'm already seeing some preparations for holiday promotions happening, I decided to go ahead and list these beauties this week!

These earrings are surgical steel and feature Czech glass beads in Siam Ruby and Blue-Green.  And they are dazzling!  For a full description and more pics, please see the listing in my shop.

Since I've only just started the shop this year, I won't be listing too many Christmas items (although I will have several items that would make great gifts. Hint. Hint. And some of these will be of the red or green persuasion, if you are looking for something festive for the holidays.  Also, I'll be happy to make a custom item for Christmas if you would like.  So please keep me in mind this season!

By the way, while we're talking about Christmas promotions, if you are a shop owner yourself, you should visit my blog in the next few weeks for details on a Christmas promotion for you shop.  Or if you're interested in a Christmas promotion, and you can't wait, email me, and I'll tell you all about it!

Hoot Hoot! Calling the Owl Lovers!

I bought this adorable owl bag either 2 or 3 years ago.  At the time I just thought it was a cute bag that would be fun to carry for the fall.  Little did I know just how popular owls would be in the near future!

I was buying some charms a while back to go on a bracelet I was making for myself and one of the charms I chose was an owl like the one above.  Since owls are so popular these days I decided to get some more owl charms and make them into a pair of earrings.

I've set them here in a little Halloween themed photo shoot of sorts, but I'd definitely have to say that owls are not just for Halloween anymore!

Go by my shop for exact measurements and more pictures of these cuties! Here's a link to the current listing.

Also, don't forget my September promotion!  All items in my shop priced at $5 or less are buy one, get one 1/2 off  AND buy 2, get one free! See my shop policies for full details!

Falling Leaf Earrings

These fun dangle earrings are perfect for fall or all year round!  I love silver colored jewelry, so when I found these leaf charms, I had to have them!  I put them together with some clear-colored Czech glass beads for a classic, elegant look that goes great with all outfits.

I also have a falling leaf charm bracelet and a pair of owl earrings that I'm adding to my shop for the fall season and perhaps a couple more pairs of petites!

Posting at these blog parties!

More Petites

Earlier this week I added 2 more pairs of petites to my shop.  I had planned to add the red ones as well, but my pictures didn't turn out good, so I'll have to give it another try next week.  And I'll also try to add the cobalt pair soon.

New Earrings--- Finally!

As I'm sure you've noticed, I spend the majority of my online time, working on Simply Sweet Home. Sadly I haven't had much time for jewelry listing or promoting.  I have actually made several pairs of earrings and have even photographed them. It's just a matter of taking the time to edit the photos and do the listings.  I'm not giving it up on it.  But I simply can't do it full time either.  But I have done a couple of recent listings that you may want see. 

These are my Antique Copper and Cobalt Dangle Earrings.  I actually listed these in May but I haven't had any time to promote them or anything.  So we may as well call them a new listing.

And I just listed these Petite Green Earrings.  These are just like the Petite Blue Earrings, except in green. (duh!)  And I've actually made these in some other colors as well, which I hope to list in the future.  These include red, violet, cobalt, black, and clear. (Now wish me luck on getting these listed!) 

Hope you'll stop by my shop for a visit. I could use the encouragement!

Petite Blue Earrings

These earrings are my latest etsy shop listing.  I just love this color.  These are royal blue and they sparkle and shine like the ocean!  These are wire wrapped and made with glass beads.  And they are made for the person who prefers small earrings but like the dangle style.

I, for one, LOVE dangle earrings, but I just wear big earrings.  I'm a petite person, and big earrings just don't look right on me. (Think of a little girl trying to wear her mommy's dress and high heeled shoes. That's me in big earrings! I simply can't pull it off!)  To give you a general idea of the size, from the base of the earwire (where the charm begins) to the tip of the bottom bead, it measures about 1/2 an inch.
You can currently purchase these in my etsy shop. And I also have these in clear and black. They just aren't listed yet, and then I have a bigger version of this earring available in black and clear in the shop.

Stop by http://jhrivers.etsy.com/ to visit my shop and take a look at all my listings.  I'll be adding lots of new things for spring over the next few weeks!

Classy Black Earrings

I've been most excited about the prospects of making my own earrings. The first pairs I made were with these black czech glass beads. As you can see these feature 3 beads. But I also have some earrings in my stock featuring just the two smaller beads (2 and 4mm, I believe) and others featuring the two bigger beads (4 and 6mm).

I'm gradually adding new items to my shop, so these will be listed at some point in the future, but if anyone out there is interested in them now, just send me an email, and I'll do a special listing for you. Or you can view my current listing if you'd like to purchase the 3-bead earrings.

The current listing features your basic earwire. In the future I will be purchasing some surgical steel and some silver earwire so that I can offer upgrades.

Currently there are just 4 items in the shop, but I will be adding new shop listings and blog posts each week, so please come back soon.
