The Year’s in full flow now and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, A think it’s to close to Xmas personally, People are just getting over the festive season then suddenly before you know it another big occasion comes along. I think a summer date would be more appealing to folks and it would feel more romantic with the hot weather and the lighter nights and all but that’s just my two pence worth on it, Maybe we should start a petition to change it! lol. So with the chilly weather in full force we had our first day of snow in nearly two years and it lasted for ONE day, Yes that’s right one day. I love snow apart from when it melts and turns to slush it’s like walking through a lake of Mr Frosty! But at least the kids finally got to do some sledging with the sledge I bought 3 years ago!  Anyway enough of my waffle I have this personalized sterling silver secret heart and pearl bracelet to chat about. This bracelet has been on my radar for quite a while and I managed to make it and photograph it just before Xmas and with Valentine’s Day nearly here this would make a wonderful unique bracelet to give to your love.  So to make this bracelet we started with AA graded white/cream pearls with beautiful sterling silver donut spacers in between them, The pearls measure approx 7mm and have a wonderful luster. This personalized sterling silver heart is from our necklace range we make and which fits in with sizes of the pearls, This means that your message will not be as long compared to the bigger hearts we have but they were just to big and looked ridiculous, Nothing worse when you try and force a design when you haven’t got correct sizes of components it just looks a mess. Everybody is different some folk will like big chunky bracelets and others will like this smaller, Elegant, Unique standout pieces like this one but if you like the design bigger then just contact us and we will try our best to help you So if you don’t know by now how we make the heart firstly we cut out a length of sterling silver from a sheet of silver, Engrave your text then shape the silver into a heart and solder the two ends together there you have it, Well there’s a lot of work before then but you get the gist. The final piece of the jigsaw was the toggle and I sourced out this beautiful heart and arrow toggle which just compliments the bracelet and just completes this treasured keepsake. So most women like pearls, Even I like pearls but tend to get a few weird looks lol but this bracelet would be ideal for Valentine’s Day but it’s a good all rounder, Obviously weddings spring to mind but other occasions pop in my head as well, Mother’s Day, Birthdays in fact it’s for any day really. Oh and did I mention we have a co-ordinating necklace  for you as well so there we have it another blog done and dusted so best get back to the grind, I need to keep warm!

Happy New Year to you all! I have to admit I started writing this blog on New Years Eve, Yes I know how sad I’m I! but I just wanted to get one more blog in before the bells ding donged  but unfortunately it was wine o’clock  time and alas the draw of celebrating took hold and before you know it January the 7th is upon us. Well I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas and didn’t over indulged yourselves to much lol. I also hope all our customers enjoyed the presents they may have received or even if you treated yourselves to our handmade jewellery thank you all. So here we are back to the grind, I still have a few pieces to catch up on and thought I would continue where I left off last year with our new entwined bird’s nest range. So I have gone all sterling silver with this entwined pearl bird’s nest bracelet which like the Rose Gold one was a joy to design and make. To start with I hand wrapped about 66 inches of sterling silver wire and then entwined 2-2.5mm freshwater pearls as I neared the end, So I had my focal point now I just needed the rest of the bracelet! It took me a while to put the finished article together as this design was just an image in my head and wasn’t really sure what other components I needed until I was just going through my ideas box of goodies and then I came across these beautiful wire wrapped curved bars. So I had the spine of the bracelet now just needed some sort of beads to fit in and as the bird’s nest has entwined pearls I went to my trusted graded white/cream pearls and low and behold I had a stunning unique bracelet to show off. Now first thoughts are “Wedding Jewellery” but it actually looks good with any fashion and pretty sure you guys will feel the same. So with the January blues hanging over us it’s back to the design board to brighten up my days, So that’s it for this blog I will see you soon as I have another wire wrapped blog to chat about yes that’s right gone a bit mad with the wire wrapping! So wishing you all the best for the year ahead and don’t be like the rest be an IndiviJewel!
