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.

New Website

Well here we are at our new home, Its been some journey but here at last can’t tell you how glad to have this off our work load! We can get to work filling the site with our new pieces of jewellery. We had a big input into how it turned out and are very happy and very pleased with the end product, We wanted it to be vintage in its looks but have some life to It, Like a new retro – Vibrant, Colourful but at the same time it still has the vintage look and feel to it which we were looking for. Now comes the hard and boring part moving across all our products and having to photograph new pictures for this website! We hope our customers have a great experience looking on the new IndiviJewels and its ease of use. So here’s a big thanks to Peter at c2  for having the patience in dealing with us. Now for our first post about what we have made I would like to add this love story, We had a customer from Australia contact us about making her partner a pair of initial oval cufflinks. The story behind it goes like this – They met in Europe but only after they had bumped into each other in three cities – London, Lucerne and Mykonos without actually realizing it until they met afterwards. We were chosen to make a treasured keepsake for the man in her life to remember those days with an anniversary gift. We hope when he puts them on he smiles and remembers the happy memories. We just love the stories behind our jewellery because its not just a business for us its about your stories.

Personalised Sterling Silver Rings Bracelet

OK feel I need to get on with some serious blogging as I’m getting to far behind so here I’ am “Mr Sadurday nite” yes thats right SADurday nite and welcome to my madhouse, a screaming baby and a very loud toddler wanting to play my computer games and one mad hound stoating round the house looking for dropped food lol. Well I’m blogging for a reason tonight and its to write about another new piece which is our personalised silver rings bracelet. Our other rings bracelet with the gold and silver rings has been a great success but we had quite a few enquiries about an all silver one as not everyone likes gold. I had planed to put both bracelets on at the same time but due to lack of time, yes I know someone get the violins out! lol and lack of certain stock items I couldn’t get it on until now.Somethings you really do like to make and I love making this bracelet, its just so unique and something different to all the other bracelets out there that just look so similar to each other. I have added one new finding which I will add to the other bracelet which is the charm holder which looks fantastic on this bracelet and to me just completes it. I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find a charm holder, I did plan to use this in the original design but just couldn’t get my hands on one. If I wasn’t a bloke I would love to wear this but people might think I’m a big girls blouse as they say which there’s nothing wrong with but I have a reputation to pretend to have lol. Will have to look into designing a manly version! OK back onto the subject matter. The good thing I like about this bracelet is the person detail you can have on it, A name of a loved one or a special date in time that means so much. My favourite  is inspirational words because my niece is at university and for her last birthday I made her a gold and silver rings bracelet with three charms which had the words believe,dream and inspire just to give her a little boost when she finds it tough going. OK that’s enough waffle from me at the moment.

Personalised Etched Initial Slinky Bracelet

We have lots of new personalised pieces near completion and lots of good ideas for others but i will take one piece at a time as I am the kind of person who wants everything to happen all at once. I have wanted to make this piece for a long time now and finally i can show it off with pride. I wanted to do the slinky a bit different to what everyone else was doing as they all look a like so i have gone for 6mm high rondelles which are 3mm wide to give it that sturdy look without taking away the elegance of the bracelet which i think makes it look even better. I wanted to make this piece a treasured keepsake for people so i thought i would attach etched initial charms so you could chose to have loved ones initials to make this a personal joy to wear but also have the elegance of a bracelet you could wear at a wedding for instance. The disks are  12mm in diameter and have a beautiful elegant font which took a bit of time to chose as there were so many. All the beads and charms are attached to strong stretchy elastic to create the illusion bracelet. Suzanne has been busy in the workshop trying out the new tumbler and she has done a fantastic job of the etched charms as they look superb because its not been easy in the workshop with the cold weather even though we have a heater in there.Handmade personalised sterling silver slinky braceletPersonalised sterling silver slinky bracelet 2Personalised sterling slinky Bracelet 1

Personalised Valentine Heart Necklace

Well the days are flying past at the moment and Valentines day is just round the corner for all you love birds so we have been busy coming up with a few designs.  The first of which is this silver heart necklace which can be personalised with the words of your choice.

Handmade Personalised Silver Heart Necklace

I had been wanting to try etching text in relief for some time now and this is my first attempt and I have to say I was really pleased with the way it came out. After etching the text onto the silver heart which I cut out from sterling silver sheet by hand, I oxidised it and then popped it in my new tumbler (so excited to finally get a tumble polisher that everything is going in it at the moment!) and crossed my fingers!  I love the effect it has given it as the pendant has a real shine to it – which is difficult to portray in the photograph – and the writing is highlighted but in a  subtle way – a really unique way to express your feelings.  And don’t just limit it to Valentine’s Day it also makes a great engagement, wedding or anniversary gift.  Short phrases such as Be Mine,  True Love and even Marry Me work best on this necklace and we have a few ideas coming up for those of you who have a bit more to say!
