Fun and Fancy Free Fabric Rosette Cuff Bracelets

My Secret Life as a Trapeze Artist

(Sold)

I love flowers and fabric. I have a large collection of vintage fabric which I never seemed to figure out what to do with...until now. I was inspired by other artistans and their fabric rosette jewelry. Wanting to use my vintage fabric and make rosettes jewelry also, I did it but with my own twist. This was the perfect new line of jewelry for my new Etsy shop "Lilikoi Cottage". It's fun, cheerful, eclectic, romantically vintage, a bit crazy with color and trims, and will definitely put a smile on your face. These bracelets are not for the faint of heart. I created this line for the Woman who knows who she is, believes that life is what she makes of it, and wants life to be positive and fun filled.

You'll find a variety of vintage fabric ranging from American cotton to Japanese Kimono. Vintage trims consisting of Ric Rac, ribbons, buttons, trim, and beads will be used. I have super pretty trim from Paris that I have stored away that I will be using.

My Latest Bridal Custom Order...for Cynthia

My fab customer Cynthia is going to get married in August.
She LoVed my True Love Chandelier earrings
and placed a Custom Order to get one
especially made for her
in shiny sterling
silver.

I LoVe the way her chandelier earrings turned out.
I can imagine Cynthia wearing these
as she walks down the aisle.
Sighhhhh....

Cynthia wanted something simple for her necklace so I suggested the
Simply Quartz Teardrop Necklace as the faceted piece
in her chandeliers matched that in the necklace
though are not the same.

Her wedding colors are dark purple and silver.
I gussied up her box girly girl style
with those colors in mind.

I always have a grand time Convo'g with my new friends/customers in my shop. And, it was so enjoyable Convo'g with Cynthia. I'm glad she found something she LoVes to wear on her special day...Her Wedding!

Please check out my Etsy shop for other Bridal Lovelies for you and your bridesmaids to wear----stacysdesigns88.etsy.com. Convo me if you'd like a Custom Order.

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.
