Ok so i often get asked what is my favourite piece to make?? I love to make custom designs more than anything if im honest! The feeling you get when you recieve a lovely comment about your work~something that you have created especially with someone in mind is great! ATM im making some drop vintage earrings for a lady who contacted me about an order to match her shoes... NOT just any shoes!! Some amazing brown GINA shoes completely encrusted with Swarovskis!! Now not only do i need to do myself justice but those AMAZING shoes :-)
When im not making custom orders i LOVE to make cuffs. I started off making swearovski encrusted cuffs in various colours & most where custom orders as you can see below
I still love making these cuffs but i wanted to raise my game & take my jewellery ideas and love of vintage to the next level. So i have been working on reworking & creating vintage parts and adding them to cuffs in a collage style. These are quite hard to make as so much design gos into them & then the actuall putting together of the cuff.... Trust me some parts DO NOT want to be put on a cuff!! Queue some shouting at the vintage pieces from me..... I hope you like these new cuffs!! They sold out within minutes of going on my facebook page... i didnt even have time to add to my website http://www.vintagegemsjewellery.com/!!
I love vintage!! Each & everything with a history! These day however the vintage trend has caught on BIG STYLE! Larger shops such as Selfridges & Harvey Nicks are selling vintage inspired pieces for BIG $! As a single mum i cant afford these pieces and to be honest dont want a mass produced piece SO i make my own out of finds from charity shops, flea markets & antique fairs. They usually are damanged and need restoring and that is what i do to make my reworked vintage items x
happy blogging dear friend :) amazing products
