A Whole New World of Jewelry Making Options
I just ran across this book and have been hearing a lot of buzz about making jewelry with resin. I made some resin paperweights and such when I was a kid, but haven’t given it any thought since then. I Think it’s time to get re-acquainted with resin. This book has inspired me. Check it out! You might be inspired by it too.

Fire Mountain Gems is Now Totally Assortable!
Everyone’s favorite source for jewelry making supplies, Fire Mountain Gems, has just changed their assortability process. Instead of each type of product having its own assortability, we can now assort everything together. This makes it so much easier to know how quantities will affect costs, and ends the confusion, once and for all.
I say, this is a great day for jewelry makers! Let’s all go and show them how much we appreciate it!

Three Woven Bead Bracelets
These three woven bead bracelets get tons of attention and compliments every time I wear them! It took many hours to make each of them, but they are definitely worth it!
Perhaps I should make some to sell…?

Crystal Cube Jewelry
The holidays are fast approaching and we all dress up more this time of year. This is one of my favorite holiday necklace and earrings sets.
It’s made with Swarovski crystal cubes and bicones with sterling silver findings. These go with nearly everything and they sparkle so much the photo can’t do them justice!

Quick & Easy Pink Pendant
Here’s an example of the fact that all you need for a quick and attractive pendant is a pretty bead and some sterling silver wire.
This took less than five minutes when I needed a pendant to match an outfit in a hurry. I got so many compliments that I still wear it sometimes.

Red Swarovski Crystal Watch Bracelet
Red Swarovski Crystal Watch Bracelet
I wear a lot of red and this is one of my favorite watches to wear. It’s made with Swarovski crystals and even includes a little sterling heart charm.
In my opinion, watches are as much of a fashion accessory as the rest of our jewelry.

Woven Fine Silver Earrings
These earrings are made with woven fine silver (99.9% pure silver) and finished with sterling silver ear wires.
I made two pairs of these in my PMC certification class in August and have sold both pairs right out of my ears! Needless to say, I’ll be making more of this similar style to sell! (And for me!)
