Watches



You guys are gonna get so sick and tired of me and my jewelry but I'm having a ball. I finally broke down and started making watch bands and it is so fun. I've made a bunch of them which you will see - later on I want to make matching necklace and earring sets too - so your watch will match your necklace! More fun.

I've been busy and made 17 or 18 watch bands and today I got my watch faces in the mail ...just like Christmas! I had to match 'em up colorwise and that kept me entertained for a while!
Here is my display covered with different watch bands: hot pink, pink, lime green, brown, lavender, another brown, salmon and peach.
Here are the same eight watch bands with watch faces!! Color coordinated! The bands pretty much sell for $10.00 each and the watch faces for $10 each - you can mix and match - you don't have to buy a watch face if you only want the band. But I had fun matching them up. Some of the watch bands will sell for $12.00 and some for $8, with the majority of them selling for $10. It all depends on the cost of the beads that they are made with. I have started using a double elastic thread as I make them to strengthen the bands.
More than half of the watch bands I have made so far are 'flat' bands - the beads laying flat on your wrist rather than being big and clunky. I am making big and clunky ones also but I for one like a jeweled flat beaded band with sparklies (of course!) Again though, I do custom and if you tell me what you need I will create it YOUR WAY! This crystal bracelet is a custom order - a friend described what she wanted and I found the beads and made it for her - at no EXTRA charge. $20 for watch and watch band/bracelet.


This is the same watch as above - with the watch face she picked out.This group includes the black and white clunky watch band/bracelet, my very first watch band/bracelet (the brown toned one) and a lady bug watch band/bracelet ...
This yellow watch band shows the round pearlized bead (and with a flat back) with matching Chinese crystals and the silver toned rhinestone separators. Rich and beautiful I have made watch band/bracelets like this in pink, peach, salmon, black, brown, yellow and lavender so far. I am keeping my eyes open for more beads like this in blues, greens and true reds.

This is the watch band I made for Mauri for her birthday - as soon as I saw these cobalt blue glass beads I knew I had to make it up for a birthday present. It turned out gorgeous I think.

BiG SaLe

With Halloween just a week away I am discounting the price on all of my Halloween Jewelry. Most of it is now only $5.00 each with the exception of one necklace/bracelet/earring set that is made up of more expensive charms.


This is my sale board....with clearance prices on everything. The skull necklaces and the crystal necklaces are ONLY $4.00 each!!! The Halloween bracelets and the Halloween earrings are going for $5.00.
This is a close up of the Crystal necklace. It is made up of crystals in green, purple, and black with an orange bead at the bottom that reflects the orange back at you! I have necklaces still in gold or silver chain, and one black cord. Only $4 each!
The skull is a fun necklace for guys or gals...I have this one in yellow, and also one in red and one in rust color. All hang from a black cord. FOUR BUCKS!

Everything is on sale! This fun Halloween charm necklace set has been discounted from $22.50 for the set to only $15 for the set. As you can see, it is made up of cute Halloween charms....since the charms run almost a $1 apiece wholesale it makes the necklace a bit more expensive than the others. But still so cute and fun to wear as a set. I will sell the pieces separately... $7.50 each for the necklace or bracelet and $5 for the earrings. I only have the one set available so call or email me quickly to order so someone else doesn't get it first!

A closeup of the earrings!
I have also got some cute bracelets for sale that aren't "Halloweenie". More of the fun charms! These cute charm bracelets are selling for $7.50 each. The one above is called Hearts and fairies. You can see the different hearts and the cute tinkerbells hanging off of it.
This one is titled Butterflies. So cute and so fun to wear. If you would rather have these charms put on a chain bracelet that can be arranged. So far I only have these made up in silver but can make a gold toned bracelet with fun charms also.
Last but not least is this one called apples and strawberries. Somehow I need to get a bit more creative with my titles but they describe the charms so I know which bracelet is which. Again - these are all just $7.50 apiece

If there is anything here you want to order, call me, email me or comment on this blog sight with an email address if I don't already have it - tell me what you want and I will deliver it to your door ....as long as you live within 8-10 minutes...with my pulled muscle in my leg I still can't drive more than ten minutes without hurting really bad!

Its October and time for Halloween fun. I have been busy making and selling some really cute bracelets and rings.

Halloween bracelets - I call these mini bracelets because the beads on them are smaller - they look cute as a single wrap (the top two) and they sell for $6.50 each. The lower bracelet wraps around your wrist about 2 1/2 times - it sells for $8.00 They are made up of skulls, eyeballs, stars, and various other orange, green, purple and black beads.

This simple pair of pumpkin earrings are fun to wear - they sell for only $5.00
These skull earrings with the dangling stars sell for $7.50
Here is a close up of one of the single wrap mini bracelets - $6.50


the orange stars are really more orange than what they show in the picture here - I think the reflection of the flash causes them to look more pink than they really are. These cute pumpkin and star earrings sell for $8.00 (since each of the stars wholesale at 84 cents each you are getting a bargain!)Hows this for a fun Halloweeny ring!!! Stars and skulls and other beads in orange, black, green and purple! $7.50

The rings are wired onto small silver or gold toned rings that fit all sizes - just stretch the bands out. They sell for $7.50 each
