Sterling Silver, 14K Gold Fill Entwined Pearl Wire Wrap Necklace & Earrings

Valentine’s Day tomorrow for all you love birds new and old, Is it just me or has it lost a bit of meaning in these modern times? I think it has, But I’m the old fashioned type I guess! Well It’s been a busy week this one and missed my chance to go to the NEC for the Jewellery show although it does appear to get less and less busy as the years go on but still worth a trip to see whats ” In trend “, Think more peeps change to the London one later in the year for obvious reasons. So what have I got for you this blog?  Yes that’s right WIRE WRAPPING! lol So this is my last wire wrapping from last year that I’m writing about so don’t worry I won’t bore you to death! Now it’s a product we already sell I have just jazzed it up a bit so it won’t be a very long blog! The Entwined range is very popular so it’s just an upgrade so to speak. I have entwined 2mm graded freshwater pearls to the beads and it has giving the design another dimension! For those who like a little daintiness this range will work a treat. Now I have made it in sterling silver and 14K Gold fill and at some point this year will add the Rose gold version, I hope, If I don’t forget which is highly probable! Right that’s about it for this blog but cannot wait till the next one as it’s my favourite piece I have designed so far in my short career so if you like BLING or pretty colours then checkout my next one.

On The Sixth Day Of Christmas My True Love Sent To Me – A Sterling Silver And Rose Gold Bird’s Nest Bracelet!

A wonderful present from IndiviJewels, So Six days to go for what we have all been working so hard for and what another mad year. This last week has just flown by as we try and finish all our orders, I feel like Santa’s little elf in my workshop till, 2,3 even 5 in the morning but its all worth it. All things considered its gone pretty smooth, Not to many problems compared to other frantic years and I’m more organized with my own Xmas preparations this year which makes me even more full of  the Xmas joy, Nothing worse than rushing around, Been there and it’s just horrible. Now trying to keep up with your social media while very busy is not going to really happen no matter how hard you try, As the saying goes “Not enough hours in the day”  Now if Santa could wrap up a little helper for me for the New Year that would be a most welcome present! So before it all went mad I had managed to take some photographs of our new bits which I referred to in my last blog, Now this particular bracelet was an absolute joy to design and make. I love the design so much I have decided to make it with sterling silver and gold fill, Now finding all the components might be a little tricky but hay-ho when I have my mind set on something I’m like a dog with a bone. So this jumbo bird’s nest is wrapped with approx 70 inches of 14k Rose Gold, So that’ s a lot of wire to wrap, Nothing worse than getting near the end and you realize its not the sphere shape you hoped for, Yes that’s right it’s happened a few times! It gets a lot more tricky when you entwine the pearls as well but I think it’s worth it when it’s finished, Totally unique to IndiviJewels and to be honest I don’t think many people would have the patience to try it lol. So I already had the silver and rose gold rondelles from another design, When you put the two metals together they really do pop, Much better in the flesh than photo’s could ever show, I love how the Rose Gold are just the slightly bigger than the Sterling silver donuts, If you go to big I think you lose the look and elegance you are looking for so for me just perfect. When the Bird’s Nest is added to the charm carrier it just all comes together and overall it makes a truly unique piece of jewellery that I’m over the moon about. Again I have gone with the magnetic clasp, I really love using it for this kind of design so it’s easier for you guys to just throw it over your wrist and let it do it’s job.I must admit I actually loved wearing it but that was only in the work shop, Didn’t want to get strange looks as walking down the street as lets be honest it’s not very manly. I have managed to get my hands on the sterling silver and Gold fill versions of the clasp so now I just need the bigger rondelles in those metals and Hay-Ho there’s no stopping me. So that’s me for another blog, Saturday night is here and to be honest I need some sleep or I will have to hold my eyelids up with matchsticks. Kids finished school yesterday so they are all pumped up looking forward to the big day. I hope to get back on with another blog before the end of the year as I have some catching up to do but it is Xmas so we will see what happens, If not then I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Personalised Rose Gold & Sterling Silver Heart Bracelet

Sunday Morning, Early Sunday morning to be precise! but that’s what happens when your ” Cherubs” sleep in your bed! I’m still half asleep so apologies if I waffle on a bit until my brain wakes up and starts to write something you may understand. So last week I made some time for myself  to make a bracelet I had thought about for a little while. I had sourced out some sterling silver donut beads a while back but the design I had in my head needed another precious metal then I found these Rose Gold rondelles beads and hey-ho it had the same hole diameter so I could use the sterling silver chain I wanted to instead of elastic which I like but just wanted to do something different and lucky for me the components all worked. Now this bracelet was more of a trail so to speak as the idea in your head doesn’t always look good in the flesh but it came together really well actually a lot better then I ever thought. Now when I normally design jewellery I like to have a very elegant toggle or clasp but because I wanted just the bracelet to stand out I was looking for something a little smaller. I wasn’t actually looking for a magnetic clasp but as Rose Gold goes there is little to choose from then I came across this little beauty! It’s only 5mm but when I attached it on it just worked right away with the design, It looks a bit quirky but I love it, With the bracelet being quite chunky and heavy it’s so quick and easy to flick it round your wrist and let the little magnet do it’s trick, Will definitely be looking to use this one on other designs. When I looked at the bracelet it looked just a tad bare around the clasp area so added one of my favourite charms that I have used on some other pieces, The angel wing and heart charm and I thought it just fitted in as soon as I added it. The personalised heart is one of our designs which we size and cut ourselves and have used on some of our other pieces, It’s just the right size I feel and you can still have quite a bit of text but you only have to contact us if you need one a little bigger. Overall I think this is a really cool bracelet with the Rose Gold rondelles the centre area really pops and the quirkiness of the clasp really blends in with the bracelet as if it’s not even there which was what I was looking to do. I already have a couple of variations in my head so look out for some more goodies, Until the next time – Don’t Be like the rest be an IndiviJewel! Hope this made some sense, I’m on my 3rd cup of tea and I feel I need matchsticks to keep my eyelids open lol.

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.

Handwrapped Rose Gold, Gold Fill And Sterling Silver “Entwined” Hoop Earrings

Afternoon people! Told you I would be back soon with another exciting never to be missed blog so here I’am WooHoo. Well It’s the middle of the week when everyone goes “Argh” but not me I love my job! Well where are we? Well I seem to be on a roll at the moment with making new designs, The only problem now is the weather! I like to take my photo’s out in the natural light but it sure has been blustery these last few days, Just as I thought the weather was changing for the better with March coming round it strikes back and bites you in the you know what. Well a little while ago we made a new necklace, The “Entwined” necklace which we made with Rose gold, Gold fill and sterling silver well it’s become a real hit with you girls and sales have been great so due to those facts we decided to make matching earrings! It’s the same principle but we have added them onto some beautiful hoop earrings which I think you all would agree look fab. I love the fact we have mixed precious metals together, It just looks so striking and unique which is what we try to do, Give you something different. So hopefully you folks will like these earrings just as much as the necklace and keep us in business lol.  As you can see in the photographs the hoops are a lovely thick size and the diameter of them is 25mm so will definitely catch your eye. The actual bead is carefully hand weaved and woven by me or my wife so like all our work it is made to order but if you want a matching pair best get them from my wife! Only joking my weaving skills are above and beyond (nothing like blowing your own trumpet) as you can see in the photo’s. Well I think that covers this blog but with a bit of luck should be back with another in a day or two so mark it down in your diaries, Till the next time, Be different, Don’t be like the rest, Be an IndiviJewel – Just like us. The more I write that the more cheesy it sounds but I like it so who cares!
