Well it’s getting hot now and so are my designs lol, Well this is the bracelet I have been banging on about for a while now. If you like a little sparkle, And a little bling then you will love my latest design – Personalised Swarovski BraceletI love it! shame I cannot wear it as it might look a bit strange on a bloke, Maybe just around the workshop in private perhaps. I think I’ve caught the bling bug, I just love working with bright bits and making something unique and with the bright sunny weather coming through it certainly looks good. It took me a while to design this bracelet as trying to source out all the pieces took some time but got there in the end I think but knowing me I will probably change it at some point. So lets take this design to the bare bones and build it back up, I starting with my usual number 4 sterling silver belcher chain which I use on all my heavy bracelets, It’s been a reliable friend over the years. Next I used about 200 9mm jump rings and soldered two together to make about 100 twisty jump rings, Yes it took an age to do but I love using them as it gives my bracelets a unique look and an extra little sparkle. So next I added the stunning 14mm swarovski BeCharmed pave beads in equal gaps between the twisties, I chose these particular colors as they are bright and look great together but I have given you the choice well a very big choice of colors so if your more of a dark color lover then we have a few for you. Right in the middle of the bracelet I have added a few charms – A star, Angel wing, Heart and a cute high heel and in the middle of those we have a pink Swarovski heart charm to give a lovely collection of charms. Now I have added one of our personalised secret message hearts but only the small one as the others are a little big but I have giving the option of not having the heart if your not looking for something personalised either way it’s a unique piece of jewellery. So overall this is one of my favourite designs it just pops, It’s light, Bright, Funky and cool well maybe that’s just my opinion. So I had been dying to get this design over the line now it’s done I can move on to the next one which I have nearly finished just need some photographs, Actually thinking about it I have a few things waiting for photo’s but if there’s one thing that I don’t look forward to is this, Just as well I’m the boss otherwise I might find myself out of a job lol. So till the next time 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!

Sunday morning! What a cold rainy and basically a typical British miserable winter day, Kids are clued to the ipad’s watching Minecraft on youtube, Yes I know what your thinking but what can you do! It would be funny but one of them is mine which I haven’t seen since the start of last week! Really looking forward to tonight as we are off to the O2 in Birmingham to watch “The Gaslight Anthem” That’s a rock band for those of you who are wondering!  OK so our Secret Heart necklace is one of our bestsellers and we have been eager to add to the range so now we have finally got round to making one of the designs we had down on paper. So we came up with an elegant and vibrant Secret Heart and Pearl necklace  which again just looks dreamy when you look at it and even better in the flesh. I love this necklace, The pearls are great quality (AA graded) and that’s what makes this necklace, The quality look and the components we use to make it, Another standout piece from us if I do say so. Now on this piece we are only offering the small and medium heart to personalise as the pearls are approx 7mm and the large heart doesn’t quite look right with the size of the pearls, We will have the large heart available when  I can source some quality 8mm maybe 9mm pearls. So with all my pearl designs I use sterling silver rondelle spacers in between the pearls which again I have used on this one, It just makes it more classy and elegant, I can honestly say I cringe when I see pearl jewellery with no spacers. It just looks so wrong! So to finish the necklace off I have used my favourite toggle at the moment which is the heart toggle,  And hey-ho we have a beautiful treasured keepsake necklace. So work is starting to get busy now with Christmas round the corner and I must just say this personalised secret heart and pearl necklace would make a truly special gift for Xmas because what it can offer the customer and the recipient. OK so sales pitch over now! You can all see how stunning this necklace is and its unique to IndiviJewels so the only place you can purchase it is from us, So at least you know its not mass produced and you can be an IndiviJewel just like us – I know I know cheesy or what!  But true, Till the next time lol.
