Sophisticated Quartz Crystal Earrings

Be elegant, sophisticated, and beautiful in these quartz crystal earrings designed just for you!

Made with natural quartz crystal briolettes cut in a gorgeous and unusual style! The facets start at the top point of the brio and radiate down in lots of thin, straight lines to the four large facets at the bottom of the brio. These cuts grab the light and reflect it throughout the stone making them glow within and especially at the bottom end of the brio! They are wrapped in very fine sterling silver wire which adds to their elegant style! In a word, these earrings are gorgeous!

The Sophisticated Quartz Crystal Earrings are 1-1/2 inches in length; the dangle is 1-1/16 inches long and swing gracefully from handmade sterling silver earwires! A great gift for any April baby or bride to be!

Thank you for looking!

Blessings,

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....

Part II

At long last I have finished the bridal necklace using some of the components in the picture below! It took the better part of day, but it was worth every moment! I really wanted to work on this piece without interruptions, and today was the perfect day to get it completed! Being mostly sunny and mild, my kids and husband were outside most of the day, so I devoted my time to this necklace!

This was the first time I have started with a drawing and ended up with a piece of jewelry! Usually my designs are ideas floating in my mind and I make adjustments to fit the components altogether! Since not everyone can visualize ideas, I went to the initial meeting with the bride with three different drawings in hand. She chose with the one I really wanted to do! Having a drawing made this was a very pleasant process, one that I will do again!

Next order of business...delivering all the jewelry to the bride-to-be, and I can't wait for her to see it! I promise there will be pictures of everything, but only after the bride see them!

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
