Well that was a quick month!! Well as it’s the last day of the month I thought I would write about my last new product from last year, Yes another wire wrapped piece! Sorry lol,  I have become very fond of making this type of jewellery probably because I’m not to shabby at making it if I do say so myself, It’s only taken an age. So like my last couple of  wire wrapped charm bracelets I thought I would complete the set and make a 14K Gold fill and entwined pearl “Bird’s Nest ” ball charm and eventually turn into a charm bracelet like others at some point but wanted to be a little different with this one and make a necklace with it but I have added a twist by adding a gemstone. Now when I started to wire wrap the Gold wire I did notice a big difference from the sterling silver and Rose gold wire, It’s like trying to wrap a steel bar lol, It’s a lot tougher and the top of my fingers are similar to a tea bag – lots of perforated holes, If you manage to stab yourself  in the finger whilst weaving the wire your going to know about it – It sharp and it hurts and I’ve done it quite often! So with the Nest made with the pearls entwined on it I rummaged through my box of goodies, Now I could do with a maid with regards to this particular corner of the workshop, It’s no joke I look at it and have such good intentions in my head to sort it all out and put everything in its own compartment but I just think its a mental block lol. OK so I find my stash of gemstones and putting different colors against the nest and then I come across these sparkly beauties, Pink Mystic Quartz that I’ve had for a while and had actually forgotten about, That’s what happens when your stash is just piled on top and top and lost to depths of the eerie sweetie tin I keep them in. Now Gold and pink just pop when put together so I just new that this was the one for me, So once attached to the bottom of  nest job done! I love this unique design, I already have a few alternatives in my head but I’ll leave that for another day. So if you like your jewellery unique & sparkling then you can’t go wrong with this necklace. So that’s your lot for Jan and now we move on to the love month, Checkout the website by the way, Lots of Valentine’s goodies to choose from and we have a discount code so don’t be like the rest be an IndiviJewel.

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!
