Jewelry Business Dreams & Mother’s Day Gifts

"Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true."
Saw this quote today and really thought this captured my feelings lately. I've been putting in the hours online to promote Rose of Sharon Jewelry all over the web. I am working the dream - of being profitable, being recognized, being able to share handmade jewelry that brings joy and beauty into women's lives.  For a long time, I felt like I had lost the passion but it took some personal life changes to open my eyes and more importantly my heart. I'm embracing the wonderfulness of being able to create my life in my own image. Enough rambling and on to showing you a few pics I'm working on for the upcoming newsletter.

These handmade jewelry designs would make great Mother's Day gifts.  The first one is Hard Candy - a new release for the New Life Jewelry Art Line @ Artfire. img_0070

empress-pearls-necklace Empress is a magnificent necklace made from graduated vintage glass pearls.  This would be perfect for an upcoming wedding - even if you aren't the bride. You'll find Empress in the New Life Jewelry Art store.

Rose of Sharon Jewelry Sprouts Handmade Floral Necklaces

Statement necklaces are hot for Spring! Floral beauties like April Remembered are a wonderful choice to brighten up any outfit. With tight budgets this season, you probably aren't spending money needlessly. A great way to freshen up last year's spring wardrobe is with an affordable statement necklace.

Betty couldn't resist buying an assortment of these lovely enameled pendants. Made with imitation rhodium and real Swarovski crystals, these pendants are brightly colored with plenty of sparkle. You'll find several other handmade necklaces in the store shortly each with different flowers and color combos.april-remembered

Convertible Bonus Necklace Feature of Purple Dawn

One of Betty's lovely soft colored necklace sets , Purple Dawn, has a great bonus feature - you can wear the handmade necklace as beaded or create a "new" longer necklace by linking it with the matching bracelet.  The 20+ inch necklace suddenly becomes a dramatic 28 inches of rare Lepidolite beads in dusty purple with a bit of glitter.

Here's the Purple Dawn extended necklace. purple-dawn-necklace

Love the DRAMA! You can wear this full-length or wrapped to create a two-strand version with variable lengths.

Lepidoliate is not technically a gemstone but a mica - hence the great reflective sparkling qualities. Discovered in the 18th century and in the U.S. is found in Colorado and California, the original name was lilalite (a Hindu word referring to play or game). Lepidoliate is know as the "peace" stone - and who couldn't use more peace in their life! Only in the past decade have beads become available although they are still uncommon - a great thing for a handmade jewelry lover who loves the unique.

These beautiful freshwater pearl earrings are part of the 2-piece necklace set called April Showers. Designed by Sandra Lee, the artisan necklace features a magnificent lampwork centerpiece. Unfortunately, we've lost the artist's information during a computer crisis so we don't have anyone to credit for this magnificient glasswork. To the talented artist who toiled for these - an abundant thank you. You'll find April Showers in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store within a few days. april-showers-earrings

So Many Beads – So Little Time

Mom (Betty), Granny (Jennie) and I have been beading for hours upon hours since they arrived on Wednesday afternoon. Mom brought a wide selection of vintage beads including some lovely deep blue Lucite beads featured in Blue Satin (now posted on ArtFire). blue-satin-bracelet-1Our focus is on getting ample inventory of colorful, fun jewelry for the May Scion meet/concert. Our target audience is 18 to 24 guys and gals who are into alternative music, very casual clothing and the popular Scion cars. Josh (my son) sells Toyota's Scion line and is running this promotional concert so we have a free booth. Dawn and i will handle the booth while Arden takes care of the twins. Since this isn't our normal product line, this is a new experience for us. Should be lots of fun. Making all this jewelry sure is. We're loving creating memory wire bracelets in vibrant youthful colors, 60s influenced stretchy bracelets and wild colored necklaces.

Golden Moonlight Necklace – Handmade Sunshine for Spring

Golden MoonlightDawn and I reshot one of my all-time favorites from Sandra Lee - Golden Moonlight. This elegant handmade necklace has a well-balanced asymmetrical design using beautiful sun yellow quartz flattened coin shaped beads, clear crystal spacers and three magnificent golf-ball style multi-faceted round deep yellow crystal focal beads. Whew - what a mouthful - but the necklace does take your breath away even without any extra words. golden-moonlight-earrings
The matching earrings bring the crystal's natural glow up to your face - a great way to enhance your skin and hair!
Just received a box with 17 new necklace sets from Sandra. She certainly has her own distinct artistic style. Jump over to the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store (you can search by jewelry artist) for a quick tour. You'll immediately see what I mean- you can spot her elegant jewelry creations without any name attached. Sandra lives in Houston so we only get to work in together in my beading/photo studio for about 5 weeks a year. We collect beads together and share our growing inventory so I never know how she'll combine them. It always amazes me how two different handmade jewelry designers can take the same beads and come up with totally different creations.
Over the next week, we'll be premiering Sandra Lee's newest original jewelry pieces - many of them sets with matching or coordinating necklaces and bracelets. So don't forget to sign up for email notices or our convenient RSS feed.
Our new affordable, fun, fab line - A.F.F. - is starting to get hearts and individual product views. Etsy has a huge following; but it still can be hard for a new store to get exposure. Stop by the Etsy store to see what's happening.
