This past weekend was my best friend’s wedding. I contributed the bridal and bridesmaids’ jewelry. It was fun and interesting to make jewelry for someone that I’m close to…it gave me a new perspective for all the other brides that I work with. My friend’s unique personality and renaissance theme challenged me to interpret those factors in the style of the jewelry that I created. Voila!Soon to come: photos of all of us wearing the jewelry…stay tuned.

I’ve been working with several brides over the last few months on custom jewelry for their weddings. I’ll be placing these sets on my Bridal Portfolio on the site, but wanted to have a quick place to show them off! I’m trying to use Swarovski crystal beads and crystal pearls more often now, because they have higher quality control than just glass pearls, whose colors can vary by dye lot. With Swarovski, the color and consistency is pretty much guaranteed. Also, Swarovski crystal pearls do not scratch as easily as their glass counterparts. And with crystal, how can you go wrong with the most precise cuts in the industry, with a history of striving for perfection? No other bead can match the fire and brilliance of Swarovski, and I swear they didn’t pay me to say that! Once you have seen Swarovski jewelry, you’ll know the difference.
