Katie's Custom Bridal Jewelry Order for Herself as well as her 7 Lucky Bridesmaids

...just for Katie...
and her 7 lucky bridesmaids!


My newest custom order Bride Katie wanted something special for her 7 lucky bridesmaids as well as herself for her Wedding which is on May 5th. From my "Something Old Something New" line in my Etsy shop---Stacy's Designs 88, Katie wanted 7 pairs of earrings, each one different and unique and special for each of her 7 Bridesmaids. I did just that for her using my Vintage glass chandelier pieces ("yes" the ones from those old romantic chandeliers hanging from the ceilings), Fresh water pearls, Swarovski crystals and Sterling silver.

For herself, Katie loved my I'm In Love White Topaz Chandelier earrings but was concerned about the weight of these earrings as she had one earring hole which was slightly stretched.

A Cascade of Swarovski Crystals & Fresh Water Pearls


In trying to find a solution to her stretched earring hole, we came across these products "Lobe Wonder" and "Ear Lift" which were found on Amazon.com. If you're interested, check out the Customer Reviews for both products.

Katie emailed me a picture of her bridal jewelry inspiration and told me she wanted to have fresh water pearls and clear Swarovski crystals in her jewelry. We worked together on different designs until she was happy.

After a series of Conversations via Email, I created a long Gorgeous pair of Sterling silver chandelier earrings using Swarovski pendant shaped clear crystals, Fresh Water Pearls, and sterling silver stardust balls. She wanted the earrings to have a somewhat "diamond" shape to them and that's what I created. They look stunning!

Katie wanted a 1 1/2 inch wide bridal bracelet to match. So, I created this 5 strand Bridal Bracelet using all Fresh Water Pearl, Swarovski crystals, and sterling silver stardust balls. The earrings and the bracelet together are quite elegant. I was very pleased with the pair. I hope Katie Loves them too.

After I create the jewelry for my brides, I am not done. Uh huh. No way. Now a new fun begins. I love to create a jewelry box for the bridal jewelry and also a special "Thank You" card just for my Bride using her bridal colors. For Katie, her bridal colors are the classics...black and white in modern & graphic damask. I decorated her jewelry boxes with that in mind. Also, I made a special "thank you" tag just for Katie using my Close To My Heart acrylic stamps, my trusty glitter, rhinestones, and vintage red ribbon.


Isn't Love Grand?
Congratulations Katie!

What's Better Than True Love?


True Love Necklace
all handmade with love

ONe of my all time favorite necklaces just sold from my Etsy shop---Stacy's Designs 88. Which necklace is that you ask? My "True Love" necklace. It's all handmade by moi.

The True Love necklace is one made with all my love and takes several hours to create. First, I form the heart frame by hand and eyeball it using sterling silver wire. Then, I painstakingly wirewrap sterling silver wire around the heart frame. And then, finally, the best part, I weave in the fresh water pearls and the Swarovski crystals to create the center of the heart...True Love.


True Love with Extender Chain


This beauty hangs from a handmade all wirewrapped chain made of sterling silver and petite fresh water pearls. Then, I complete this circle of love with either a heart shaped toggle or a lobster clasp and extender chain. Everything in this necklace is made from sterling silver.

My fav customer Nicole purchased this lovely for her sister who is getting married this month. I wish I was there when her sister opens up this special gift from Nicole so I could see the look of surprise and happiness on her face. This will look soooo beautiful on Nicole's sister who is wearing an all white tea length polka dotted wedding gown. So romantic, so fresh, so mod-retro. I LoVe it!



True Love with Heart Toggle

If you're getting married, looking for a gift for a new bride, or just want something so very special to wear on your special evening out, then this is the necklace for you---one of a kind and all handmade. You know that you deserve it. If you want matching "True Love" earrings and/or bracelet, feel free to Convo me and I can design your custom pieces.
