Pearl,Rose Gold, Gold Fill & Sterling Silver Bird’s Nest Bracelet

Now it feels like Summer! This week has been lovely, Could really get used to weather like this shame it won’t last. As the weather has been fantastic not much has been achieved by way of work but on the bright side four down and three to go, Yes that’s right I’m on about weeks and how long my charming cherubs have left before the dreaded return to school, come on most of you are counting down just like me. While the kids are destroying the house and garden over the holidays I have locked myself in the work shop and designed and made a new addition to our “Bird’s Nest” range which I kinda like, wasn’t sure how the idea in my head would look in the flesh but it’s even better than I imagined. I’m now in the thought process of designing an entire range based on these three little entwined balls. With the good weather comes the weddings and if any brides are looking for something a little unique then this is definitely one to check out, There will be a matching necklace at some point didn’t quite get round to that as it was a late one when I made the bracelet. The pearls are amazing when in natural light which can sometimes be a problem when just looking at a photo as it doesn’t always give you that true reflection of their quality. The pearls are graded AA+ and I have added a new spacer in between them that I have sourced out, I always like to have a space in between the pearls on my work I just think it looks classy. This spacer is a 3mm donut yes that’s right a donut!  and it fits round the pearls like a glove and improves the design which is always what I try to do f possible with all our work. There is nothing better than using real quality components when designing jewellery that’s why we pride ourselves on using quality materials. So I then used 20 inches of each of the following, Rose gold, 14k Gold fill and sterling silver 0.5 wire to make the balls which did take a few attempts as it can be a little tricky to get the start right as you don’t have a lot to play with and sometimes it ended up like an American football. All three “Bird’s Nest” hang from a beautiful solid and chunky charm carrier, The carrier itself is very elegantly designed so it really fits with all of my designs but especially when working with pearls. I like the components I use to all be in proportion so the overall design of my work looks correct and this can be tricky when using multiple materials which can be time consuming but I lucked out on this one! so I was very happen with the toggle I used to finish the design off, Very solid and chunky looking  just like the charm carrier and fitted really well with it and it just made the bracelet come together which made me happy because I really don’t like trolling through website after website looking for materials especially as I have no patience and want to finish my work quickly lol. This bracelet is a unique design and can be worn for everyday use but obviously does and will be thought of as a wedding /Bridal piece but it’s very elegant and well made so I’m more than happy with it lets hope everyone else does too. OK so on to the next design, Right best get back to the little people and see if one still has a house to live in. so don’t be like the rest be an IndiviJewel! Yes still loving the cheesy tag line.

New Personalised Sterling Silver Golf Ball Markers

So here we are three weeks into the school holidays and only four to go! How come this seems like the slowest time of the year lol. We just got back from a short break at the coast and well excuse me if I thought it was supposed to be summer, Rain, Rain and well more rain but the indoor swimming pool was nice! OK so haven’t been active on the blog front recently seems to have been put on the back burner of late so have a few to catch up on. I wanted to start with our new personalised sterling silver Golf ball markers which we made especially for Father’s Day and which also proved to be very popular with you guys and gals. With summer here and a lot of the big Golf tournaments on around the globe Golfing accessories become very popular and mix in Father’s Day and it becomes very busy.These markers make a great keepsake for those Golf mad Dads, Grandads and not forgetting all the Mums and grandma’s. We have added five new designs which cover a wide range of images and layouts so there should be something for everyone although there is always room for more but will keep them secret till next year!  Just to let you guys know we do make custom designs with images that customers give us and we have made some really nice custom Golf ball markers so just a thought for you to think about if none of these ones tickle your fancy, I wish I had some photo’s to show but because we are always busy and in a rush we never have the time to take any, Well thinking about it my brain doesn’t actually work at the time! You know us guys we cannot multitask if we tried! I have to say these products are one of our favourites to make, We just love all the unique messages that come through to us, Love, Family, Funny ones, and even the rude ones yes we don’t hold that against anyone because we know that all the messages will be well received. OK so you should by now get the picture if your still reading this! We make great Golf ball markers lol, Right it’s time to take the dear cherubs out to burn some energy off so don’t be like the rest be an IndiviJewel – Really like that line although when I read it to myself it does sound cheesy!
