For the Bride-To-Be

and

Her Wedding Party

For your special day, consider nothing less than custom made jewelry for you and your bridal party! You will find many unique, and one of a kind pieces of jewelry at Heart's Desire Beading Company, all made with you in mind! Each piece is lovingly handmade using only the finest metals, pearls and Swarovski crystals for a quality design!

For you bridal party, custom made earrings, bracelets and necklaces with Swarovski crystals and pearls are a must! Swarovski crystals come in a wide variety of styles and color palettes to match the current fashion trends! Their crystal beads and glass pearls are the highest quality product in the beading industry, which is why I use them in my jewelry!

The pearl is the oldest known gem, and was considered a most valuable possession during ancient times! Because they are a symbol of unblemished perfection, purity and innocence, they are often found in traditional wedding jewelry.

The ancient Greeks thought of pearls as the "wedding gem" because they believed that pearls would help ensure marital bliss for the couple and prevent new brides from crying.

I hand pick each strand of freshwater pearls used in my jewelry to assure the quality of each handmade piece!

Custom orders are always welcome and I will do my best to create what you have requested within the budget you have to work with! Please note that all custom orders must be paid for in advance, and allow at least 14 days to complete your specially made items. A good rule of thumb is to special order your jewelry at least 2 months (or more) before the date of your wedding. Also, you will be able to see a picture of your custom made jewelry order online in my Flickr account. This will insure that the items are exactly what you want before your order is shipped so that we can both feel confident that your special order is correct! Please be sure to read the terms of service on my website for all pertinent information on custom orders.

Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to creating something very special and elegant for your wedding day!

Blessings,

Bridal Inspiration...

As a jewelry designer, one of my favorite things is creating jewelry for the bride-to-be and her wedding party! There's just something about the romance of a wedding day, whether it be a simple gathering of family and friends or a huge platinum affair, I feel honored to be a small part of that special moment! Searching for just the right color of beads to go with bridesmaids gowns and sparkly crystals and pearls for the bride's jewelry can truly be challenging! Even so, from the first meeting with the bride-to-be to the delivery of the each handmade piece of jewelry, I enjoy the process! You might say that I'm a hopeless romantic!



It is my pleasure to be a part of another wedding here in Knoxville this coming spring! The bride has chosen a gorgeous palette of tanzanite, light amethyst with accents of robin's egg blue for her wedding day! After my first meeting with the bride-to-be, while making dinner for my family and I realized that my own china had many of the same colors we had discussed that afternoon!

Since Swarovski has a fantastic selection of colors in their crystals and pearls, I had no trouble finding beads to go into my jewelry designs for this event!






I look forward to showing you the finished pieces of jewelry soon, but not before the bride has seen them! So check back, there will be upcoming posts on this jewelry and much more!



Blessings,
Debra

Disco Ball and The Midas Touch

I found these awesome Swarovski crystal beads the other day at my local bead shop! They are 15mm across and are the perfect focal point for the coolest rings ever!


My oldest son thought the ring in the top picture looked like a disco ball because the bead reflects light all around the inside of the ring! There are so many gorgeous colors and twinkles that photography cannot possibly capture!


The Midas Touch ring is in the bottom picture! The Swarovski crystal in that ring has a gorgeous gold finish which reflects light off the surface of the crystal with a mesmerizing glimmer! Since both the crystal and ring are gold, Midas came to mind right away!

Both of these rings are a size 7 (US) and will be listed in my Etsy shop soon! Thank you for looking!

I love dichroic glass, the colors are so intense and gorgeous, but it is very difficult to photograph! Finally, I fiqured out that a little sunlight and a portable light studio will achive the best photos. If you have any other tips on photographing these colorful glass pieces, please leave me a message!

These little buttons of dichroic glass are a deep emerald green and shift to beautiful shade of purple! I got them from another esty merchant, ccvalenzo. Check out her dichroic glass sometime, she has wonderful things! Click on the link below to see more pictures and information about these earrings! Thank you for looking!
