Gifts teenagers would love

had a couple of friends email me trying to decide what their teenagers would like. Today's teenagers love BLING!!

They also adore charm bracelets. Plus anything that would make a fashion statement - necklace or bracelet wise, so tonight I am going to post pictures that I think they would love:

The charm bracelets are still a big hit especially among the younger teens. I have quite a few charm bracelets to choose from:This is an example of a possible charm bracelet made up with crystals. This one is a Christmas charm bracelet that could easily by changed to pinks or greens or blues - or whatever the favorite color is. The chain on this one is especially pretty. I also have chain with hearts and with roses in the metal. $10.00
This is my charm bracelet #2 - with hanger, mirror, jewelry box and bow. $10.00
Here you have Charm Bracelet #1 - with perfume bottle, cameo, comb and mirror ...all on an antique gold toned chain bracelet (same as above) $10.00

Bling Rings - these rings are made up of mostly Swarovski crystals with some Chinese crystals and some glass and plastic beads as fillers on the bottom row. They are wired with 19 strand necklace wire to an adjustable ring base, so one size will fit all! They sell for $10.00 each. I have them made up in black, lavender, the Christmas colors, turquoise, crystal and topaz. I can also do reds, greens, ...a turquoise crystal and brown wooden beads are gorgeous also. When you order, just tell me which colors you prefer.

$12.00 each: Here are a few delicate necklaces on ribbon...a couple of cameo's, a dragonfly, or my dichroic glass pendants- I'm not sure whether or not the glass pendants would be a big hit...I should have put the blue heart crystal on ribbon and the crystal heart charm necklace too. You will see the crystal heart in a picture of a charm attached to one of several possible charm bracelets in this blog.
This is a black and silver and necklace that would be fun for school or church with matching dangle earrings. $10.00. This one is listed on my etsy site for $16.00 - what a bargain!
Charm bracelet #1 - strawberries and apples...$10.00
Charm bracelet #2 - hearts and tinkerbells. The center heart on this one is the same charm that I have strung onto a pink ribbon necklace that I talked about above. $10.00..again, this is listed on my Etsy site
Memory Wire bracelet that wraps around the wrist about three times - this is a bracelet for a little bit larger wrist ...$12.00 - listed on etsy.com for $14.00
Gorgeous lavender and gold memory wire bracelet - $12.00. Again, listed on Etsy.com for $14.00
This is the smaller memory wire bracelet in browns and golds - not a whole lot smaller but it fits a narrower wrist better than the ones above. $12.00 - listed on etsy.com
Crimson Snake Pendant - this is the most expensive thing I have posted here today...on SALE for only $22.00 for the necklace and earrings. Teenagers would love this one for the outrageous fashion statement it would make. It is 29 inches long with a 2 1/2 inch pendant. (on Etsy for $30.00!)
This is my Wavy Hearts necklace - 26 inches - it sells here and on Etsy for $10.00 for the set - necklace and earrings
Bronze clusters necklace and earring set - $10.00 for the set.

Some teenagers love the new bulky bracelet style watches - here I show two - one delicate black beaded watch for only $10 for the watch band and the watch face. (The little watch faces --with a loop rather than a bar to attach to the band sells for only $5.00 by itself) The hot pink watch band sells for $8 and the matching pink watch face would be another $10 - so $18 for the set. I don't know how wide spread this style is but its very popular here in Utah with inter changeable watch bands - so fun!! Just clip the band onto the watch face with lobster claws and away you go. I have watch bands that sell mainly for $10 with some at $8 and some at $12 - they all clip on to the bar style watch faces that cost me $10 to buy...I turn around and sell them to you for the same $10.
This is a fun necklace and watch set that was very well liked at my boutique by all ages - The necklace consists of 20 inches of big clunky plastic beads in black and black and white strung on 19 strand necklace wire. The closure is an antique silver toned toggle closure. The earrings are free with the necklace and are a single dangle of the black and the white bead. The necklace/earring set sells alone for $10.00. The watch band is made up of black beads, black and white beads and silver toned beads with silver lobster claws to attach to the watch face bars. It sells for $10.00 also - The watch face is silver with a black face and also sells for $10.00. Boutique special = $25.00 for all.

Earlier in this post I showed a group of delicate necklaces - here are three of them up close - the green cameo...$12.00 You can wear this as a necklace or a pin.
The lavender cameo - $12.00 - it also has a pin backing






...and the dragonfly. It is a necklace only, no pin. $12.oo





Last but not least, here are a couple of close up pictures of the rings - the crystal ring...$10.00

...and the Christmas ring...$10.00
