Help!

Well its pretty late and I am not having the best of weeks, Its taking me most of the night to get our new personalised bracelet on because i know nothing about computers and all the gadgets that make them work. I think i need to go on a course but then again that’s all well and said but i just don’t have the time. If things couldn’t get any worse i have been waiting for my lovely pearls which i have now found out seem to be lost just as i need them most as i have a couple of designs i needed them for. Time will be very restricted in a few weeks as Sue will be giving birth to our new baby boy yeah i know we cheated we found out earlier so we could prepare but we still cannot decide on a name so if anybody thinks of one let us know. If anyone wants to join us on our facebook page then come along and become a fan as we are giving away free goodies when we get to our first one hundred fans and then again at 200, 300,  yeah you get the picture so what you waiting for pop along and become a fan. We have been pretty busy this week with other jobs, cleaning the car which hadn’t been done since our holiday and had half a ton of sand in it, a few old jobs round the house, and catching up on some admin work so its been pretty quite in the workshop this week although lots to do but sometimes you just need to take your foot off the gas which is why me and my two boys (soon to be three) Archie and Broxi (yes that’s the dog) have been going on some forest walks. I will leave you with Broxi fishing YES fishing on our recent holiday in France so bonne nuit.

Sterling Silver & Gold Vermeil Personalised Rings Bracelet

Just thought i would share our new personalised bracelet with you all which we are very pleased about. Its a beautiful rings bracelet but with a bit of a twist, first of all we have used a sterling silver chain to string the rings onto to make it more secure and to add a bit more quality as i think  it just looks better all round. I have then used sterling silver rings in which two rings have been soldered together to make one twisted ring  which looks great. I decided to make the bracelet unique to IndiviJewels so i decided to add some gold vermeil rings to give it a contrast and also to catch peoples attention. Gold and silver always look so nice together just like strawberry’s and cream but it has to be designed in the right way so as not to look over bearing one way or the other so that’s why i added the gold toggle because if i just left it at the gold rings they just looked lost. This bracelet is a solid piece as the rings are big and sturdy not like all the lightweight ones where they are very small or look like they will break after a week that’s why the photo’s do not do it justice it looks much better in the flesh. The great thing about this bracelet is you can personalise it which makes it different and unique to us and to you. This is a great keepsake to remember people past and present and to remember them every time you put it on or look at it you will remember the good times. On the toggle i have added a little cluster of three charms just to make it look proportionate to the rest of the bracelet and to keep in line with our personalised range so you know its one of our pieces. Overall i don’t think you will find a better bracelet of a similar design than this one its just a timeless classic with a unique twist that makes it special. Ok that’s it for now i have got to go clean the floors and windows so i will leave you with a couple of pics of the bracelet.Silver and Gold Vermeil Rings Bracelet with Single Name Charm and Angel Wings Cluster Main ImageSilver and Gold Vermeil Rings Bracelet with Single Name Charm and Angel Wings 6

Playsand and a Necklace

Another day has just flown right past me and i feel like I am in that film benny button because i feel my brain is dwindling away. I went to argos today to get play-sand for my sons exquisite masterpiece of a sandpit that i built lol. I felt a bit of an idiot as the only way i could get it to my car was by a sainsbury’s trolley so there I am walking through town with an empty trolley looking like some one from the funny farm and then having to push it back to my car and like all trolleys its got wonky wheels and i must have looked like a hippo on ice and i had to make TWO TRIPS! i needed a ventilator to get my breath back. It was all worth it in the end because Archie played in the sand all afternoon so it had a happy ending.  Sue’s friend Lisa had her birthday yesterday and she wanted to make her something special as she has two young boys as well so she decided to make her a personalised necklace with the names of her two boys on it. We like the necklace that much we are going to start selling them on our site.Alfie and Oliver Personalised Charm NecklaceIts not the best photo in the world put we hadn’t planed on taking one and sue was in a rush but it will do for now. So what we have is a very long snake chain with a handmade ring attached to it. It then has two etched names with a gold vermeil heart between them and protected by angel wings on either side of the names such a beautiful looking piece. Ok that’s me for now I am very tired after my benny hill impression so bonne nuit.

New Personalised Name Bracelet

Sunday night again! just cannot believe how fast the days go I am sure they used to go really slow when i was younger. This weekend has gone really quick as i have been building a sandpit for my boy, its all finished now just need some sand. I think i got my measurements wrong its huge but i don’t think my lad will complain though. I decided to build him one as the ones i have seen in the shops are pretty small and look lie they will snap after a week so i built one that will last for years lol. We didn’t get much time this weekend to work on the business but we did manage to get our new personalised bracelet on the website which we are very pleased about. All this miserable weather doesn’t help because i like to take my photo’s in natural light and it wasn’t easy on Friday but managed to get a few but i will take some new ones when the weather gets better.Personalised Chunky Chain Bracelet 2Our personalised necklace is one our best sellers and we have had a few enquiries about personalised bracelets as not everybody likes to were necklaces so we got to work designing a bracelet which as you can see is very elegant and stylish. For the bracelet we didn’t think a thin chain would work we wanted one that would stand out and have a look of quality so we went with a chunky cable chain which suits the design. The tags are the same ones we use for the necklace to keep it in the same range. We used an adjustable toggle because we get a lot of customers who are not quite sure what size they are so we thought this would be the best option. On the toggle we put a lovely cluster of charms which consist of a sterling silver angel wing, a sterling silver padlocked heart and a gold vermeil key which keeps with the theme of the bracelet which is for love of the people past and present in your lives weather it be new babies, family members or friends who have touched your lives this is a great gift that you can keep and remember the good times when you look at there names. OK that’s enough of the Mills and Boons stuff that’s all from me tonight but hopefully will be blogging tomorrow, i wish you a bonne nuit.
