So here we are 21 days to go to the big day, I absolutely love Xmas and everything that goes with it, Tradition, Carol singing, Turkey, Puddings, Playing with the kids toys and then falling asleep. The only thing ever missing here in good old blighty is the snow, Well it looks like I’m only going to get this blog started as it’s our local Xmas shopping night here and I’ve been chomping at the bit to get on with a blog for about 2 weeks! Literally haven’t had two minutes all week until now and it is literally two minutes I’m going to get, We have been so busy making new pieces and finally got round to photographing them all with a week of very late nights only for Black Friday to come round and then that was it – Eat  – Sleep – Work – Repeat, Don’t get me wrong I want you guys to buy as much of our stuff as you like other wise I don’t have a job! I think we have managed to get five new products on in the last week so I have plenty to write about just no time to write it. Just had a look at the last blog more time has elapsed then I had thought, Better watch I don’t sleep through Christmas Day! OK so back in from the madness that is a late night Xmas shopping night, Only took a couple of hours! So let’s start with what I’m here for, Our new  personalised sterling silver secret message droplet necklace  We are always trying to expand our secret message range and we came up with a more simple design but nonetheless a cute little charm necklace. We have come to realize that sometimes simple is the best, Not everyone wants something extravagant so this necklace does the job. The dimensions for this droplet are 2.5cm and that’s from the top of the loop to the bottom and is 1cm wide, You get 30 characters and that includes spaces so it’s not the longest piece we have but that was the thought behind the design but as always if you wish to have it bigger then just contact us and we have also given you a few lines of text in the product description to give you a helping hand to start you off if you cannot think of anything. The hardest part of making this droplet was trying to solder the loop on, It can get a little frustrating lets say when it moves by the smallest of movements when everything is lined up and then you think maybe it’s time for an eye test in the new year!  So I hope Black Friday wasn’t to stressful for you all, I have to admit I just dodge it all together I can never make up my mind what I want so best to have nothing I say then all the stress and save my pennies, Can’t go wrong really! Joking aside thanks for those of you who bombarded us with orders on Black Friday we really appreciate your custom, We can make things all day long but it takes you guys to make our business work so thanks. Well that’s that for today well tonight now I hope to be back with another new product shortly so don’t be like the rest be an IndiviJewel.

It’s a day of ponder and thought today across our Great Britain and afar as we remember the brave men and women of our armed services past and present and the world over, Words cannot say enough of their sacrifice ” Lest We Forget ” So I hope everyone’s Fireworks night went off with a bang and you all kept safe, We went to my hometown and thankfully the rain held off, Such a wonderful sight to see. I know everyone is gearing up for Xmas but really you would think it was coming up in the next week, Just ridiculous, I love Xmas, It’s the best time of the year for me but to have such a long run up to it just takes that special charm away from it. Well that’s my take on it, So let’s crack on with our new personalised sterling silver secret message Moon necklace, As usual completely unique to IndiviJewels  you are only going to be able to purchase this from us unless someone does a bad job of copying us lol. We are always trying to think up new ideas for expanding our Secret message range which can be more trickier then you think, You have to think of size you don’t want something that is to big or small, It has to have enough room for a decent sized message or the point of it has gone. Shape is also another problem, You could rattle off no end of shapes but depending on angles the person receiving the necklace won’t be able to see it!  So with all things moon themed at the moment we thought we would make an IndiviJewel take on it and we think it’s done the job. When you make a piece of jewellery unique as this it takes time to make and this is no exception, We cut out two lengths of sterling silver sheet, Same width but one a little longer than the other, Etch the text of your choice to which you can have 24 and 15 characters including spaces then comes the hard part shaping the two pieces of silver into the shape of a half moon which as you can imagine  could be a little tricky. We then solder the joins together then file away all the excess solder and using various sandpapers to get it to the point of polishing, The two loops for the chain and star are also soldered on, Once all this is finished it needs a good polish to make it all shiny, Clean all the polishing compound off them heat it up and put in the pickle pot to rid the piece of any last dirt and then drop in the tumbler for a few hours and Hey Ho one lovely unique personalised necklace ready for you to wear. As you can see a lot of time and effort goes into making just one of these piece’s but if you want to make a unique piece of jewellery then hard work is a must. So with Xmas insight this would make a unique personalised keepsake so hopefully you will like our latest necklace. OK time to go so till the next time ” Don’t  be like the the rest be an IndiviJewel “.
