Wishing You A Merry Merry Merry Christmas 2011 from Hawaii!

One of my Many Custom Xmas Decorated Boxes...for a Lucky Customer's 6 Loves Necklace

My Modern Christmas Decorated Boxes

Just want to send a Big Mahalo (Thank You) to All of my Wonderful Customers this Holiday Season.  I've completed all  my customers' jewelry orders and mailed them out so they can give them as gifts to their loved ones Before Christmas.  My orders exceeded my expectations and helped me achieve my goals for this season...and I am very grateful. So, Thank You All!

Please continue to visit my Etsy Shop Stacy's Designs 88 in 2012. I'll be creating more new & exciting designs.

To get us all in the holiday spirit, wanted to share some photos of my Custom Decorated Holiday Jewelry Boxes and "Thank You" tags.  I created many using Vintage Christmas cards...they came out beautifully.  My customers loved them.

If any of my Friends and Relatives have old/new Christmas cards that you do not want anymore...they do not have to be vintage..Xmas Cards that you received and now don't know what to do with....they can be your old stash of extra "New" unsigned and unused  Xmas cards from Xmas Past that you don't want to send out... then please send them over to me. I'll use them in my 2012 Christmas jewelry boxes. I'm collecting now. Thanks in Advance!

Gotta Crow----Courtney Cobain...aka Courtney Love..Bought these Earrings from My Shop

Early this week, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Courtney Love aka Courtney Cobain purchased from my Etsy shop Stacy's Designs 88 my wire wrapped extravaganza pair of earrings called "Bollywood Extra Large Gold Filled Hoops with Labradorite and Quartz Earrings". Courtney is a known avid Etsy patron. Thank you Courtney!

She purchased one of my newer earrings which is intensely (for me) wire wrapped using gold filled wire to create the hoop and then to enhance it with decor and gold filled beads and Labradorite gemstones. I did an intricate wire pattern and strung light gray Quartz gem stones.



Just wanted to share this bc I was totally amazed and happily honored. Courtney has such an eclectic style and is always way ahead of trends and even starts trends. All I can say is "Wow".

Thank you Courtney!

I'm currently working on a silver pendant version of this earring. Also, will start doing more wirework pieces since it allows me to express myself thru the different designs and shapes that I can create with sterling silver and gold filled wire.

Please feel free to stop by my shop Stacy's Designs 88.

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!

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.

A Lovely Bridal Custom Order

cute tiffanyesque and kraft brown decorated boxes

Another cute custom order for one lucky bridal party. I just completed and mailed out several pairs of my popular "Simply" earrings with sterling silver ball and post backings. My lovely customer Chadsey wanted this super cute earrings for her bridal party. They're soooo lucky.

6 pairs of "simply" earrings

She also ordered matching fresh water light yellow pearl necklaces for her two moms--her mom and her mom-to-be. They're going to be so surprised and happy. She's so thoughtful.

2 matching fresh water pearls "simply spring" necklaces

Each piece of jewelry was placed in their individual maroon pouches. Ready for boxing and packaging. One of my favorite things to do...decorate the boxes. ;)

so feminine...maroon pouches for her jewelry gifts

While her colors are red & gold, she left it up to me to choose the colors as she wasn't really "using" her colors. I thought that this mix of tiffanyesque blue boxes and the kraft brown boxes with red & pretty pink silk flowers on top of the ribbons would look sooooo cute.

cute cute boxes...ready for gift giving


Ta Dah! I love the wedding season. And, I love making brides HaPpY! ;)
