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.

Well the first post of the new year so a belated “HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL”  We only started back yesterday after a couple of weeks off and with all the bad weather and not being able to get out, Having the kids off for two weeks felt like two months! lol  Come on you all felt the same! Wanted to get off to a good start as soon possible and just realised the last blog was on the 7th December, Wow seriously where does time go? Hope you all had a lovely Christmas, Actually I’m glad to be back at work as we stopped at the wrong time when things were just flowing nicely and now after the break its a bit of a struggle to get the throttles on full again but due to the backlog of orders from last year we have no choice which is good as it gives me that little push we all need going into a new year to which I’m really looking forward to. We should get our new packaging next week which looks fab well it does on the computer (fingers crossed) so another job marked off  last years list! This years list is all about making things – WOOHOO and then we obviously have to try and sell them! Yet this list already looks longer than last years and its only the second day back. Ok I wanted to blog about these Angel wing & Pearl earrings that we made last year and done us proud over the Christmas period, A simple design but look fantastic due to the AAA  white/creamy round pearls we use which make them look so elegant, Thinking about making a personalised version but need to see if it looks right and also that its right for IndiviJewels, Sometimes you can over do personalised jewellery to the point of it looking tacky and cheap. Anyway back to these earrings which I just love, Well I would say that as it was me who designed and made them! Like I said a simple piece but one that has a standout look without being bulky and have that “I want to be noticed desperately” tag on them. The Angel wing is Sterling silver and the Pearls we use are 8mm, Great size and great looking pearls with a lovely creamy colour to them and the ear stud is a ball design which is 5mm. We could have put a bigger ball stud on but we wanted the main features to stand out which I think we managed to acheive. The good point I like about these earrings is although your first thought is “Wedding” these earrings can be used for everyday wear which is what we try to do at IndiviJewels unless we actually make a piece for a specific occasion. OK so good start to the new year blogging, I just have to keep it going hopfully at least once a week. Right back to work!
