Swarovski Crystal Wedding Jewelry

A while back I finally took the leap and decided to create some jewelry for weddings and proms, So far I've had a very favorable response! I just thought I would share a few of the creations that I made here with you...

The picture above features my niece wearing a necklace and earring set in the same design as the one pictured below which I made for her big day last August, the only difference is her necklace is done with purple crystals and has clear crystals working their way up the entire chain... the one below is done in the cobalt blue ab2x crystals and it does not have the clear crystals along the chain... The set may seem a bit overwhelming in the listing but as you can see above it is a very delicate set which adds a nice splash of color against the white of the dress.

Stunning Heliotrope and Cobalt Blue Swarovski Crystal Necklace and Earring Set...


A 14mm Heliotrope Swarovski heart is the centerpiece dangling on a silver plated bail at the very bottom of the necklace and along the sides, working their way up the chain are 3/4 inch dangles which consist of a curved silver plated bar chain link with 4mm crystal ab and cobalt ab2x Swarovski bicones on the bottom of each, there is another curved bar chain link between each dangle... The whole thing is on a delicate silver plated rolo chain. The earrings are Hand bent sterling silver french hook ear wires supporting a cascade of the curved chain lnks on a silver plated jump ring with the cobalt ab 2x bicones between them with a 10mm heliotrope swarovski heart at the bottom.

This set would look beautiful with a low cut wedding gown or prom dress. Perfect for any formal occasion!



Crystal AB Swarovski Heart and Rivoli Pendant Necklace and Earring Set...


A hand bent silver plated wire connector holds a single 14mm crystal ab Swarovski heart with 6mm crystal ab swarovski rivoli pendants along either side of it, this set is literally dripping with crystals! The earrings are simply the same delicate silver plated rolo chain as the necklace with a 10mm crystal ab Swarovski heart dangling at the bottom on hand bent sterling silver french hook ear wires.



This necklace makes a very bold statement, the crystals are pale yet they have maximum sparkle! This set would compliment a bridal gown embellished with crystals or a bold colored prom dress!! The crystals in this set reflect a yellow hue in the pictures, however, when they are against a white or lighter background they reflect blues and appear more clear.

Why You Ask?

Well I must say that the sale I had on my Ebay shop went pretty well! It was kind of a bummer to see a lot of the listings end without selling but overall I really cannot complain! Here is a big thank you to everyone who helped me to promote it and get the word out there!

I've had a lot of people ask me why I closed my ebay shop, so here it is.. Giving up Ebay was not an easy thing for me to do, that is where it all started for me! I finally realized that there was really no way for me to compete with the commercial vendors out there who were willing to mass produce their items... Not to mention the fact that the listing fees were KILLING me! I was seriously paying upwards of $80 a month to keep my shop open! Sure I was making sales there but was I really making any money??? Not a heck of a lot!

I feel that my line of products is a lot more appreciated on Etsy! Etsy is a truly wonderful place to sell, the people there are so friendly and helpful, handmade doesn't really mean a lot on EBay but it does on Etsy! I've made lots of friends over there, and I can honestly say that I feel at home there! What is funny is when I started this whole thing i was SO resistant to selling on Etsy, I was terrified that someone would consider me an "artsy" person... to me that phrase was the exact opposite to who I am, well here it is 8 months later and I now consider being called "artsy" a compliment! Funny how your perception of something will change isn't it? I still have a hard time thinking of myself as an "artist" though.

So there you have it, why I closed my Ebay shop!

Over the next few days I'll be trying to be better about posting here! I have a bunch of new items that I am going to list in my Etsy and 1000markets shops so be sure to check back soon! 1000markets is still kind of a mystery to me! I'll be honest though, I really haven't devoted a lot of time into trying to figure out how it all works, I've been so busy trying to get Ebay shut down that I really haven't had time to really do anything over there, but that is about to change!
