BLACK FRIDAY BOUTIQUE

I am having a BLACK FRIDAY Boutique on Friday Nov 26 from 5-8 and on Sat Nov 27 from 10 am -2 pm...there will be several vendors - Jewelry, bows, cards, watches, rings, purses, and pins....PLUS all of my jewelry. I have one whole box of necklace sets that are 50% off!!!! Thats a deal right there. So while you are thinking about Christmas - come find that perfect gift at the boutique ...my house...744 S 200 E Layton!

If you can't make it to the boutique then you are more than welcome to send me an email at susan@willden.org and tell me what you would like. Then you can either send me a check for the total or else I will post it on my etsy.com site, give you the 'link' for it and you could pay with paypal there. There is a $2 charge for shipping (the first item) and then $1 for each additional item.


This little Christmas tree is not real gold but it IS on a 14k gold chain with 14k gold findings (clasp, jump rings, etc.) Simply but oh so pretty and the tree itself is so intricate. This is a deal for $20!



While I was ordering the brooches I came upon this beautiful little pendant - it is about 1 1/2 inches long and is an elegant dragonfly done in pink and silver. I have it on a simple ribbon to display but I could put it on a chain at your request. $15.00 as is, $18 with a chain.
Also I have added some beautiful brooches - most of which can be worn either as a necklace or a pin. The cameo's are simply exquisite. I have green, blue, pink, brown as you will see as you scroll down...and a grey one coming also. They will sell for $17.50. This one is tan colored - it is larger than the others - about 2 1/4 inches where all of the others are just a hair over 1 1/2 inch in length including the jeweled frame.
Silver metallic brooch
Cameo in pink
I have two green brooches - both a little different than the other but both gorgeous! This is the first one.
This is the second green cameo
This color is called chocolate
Cameo in Lavender
I couldn't get the colors to show true on this one - it is more of a baby blue tone.




I mentioned in my last blog that I was making watch bands to go with my necklaces...I have gone one extra step - eyeglass holders to match the watch bands ...The pictures here show the eye glass holder with a matching watch - for those of us who need reading glasses and are always losing our glasses - what a perfect way to carry them around. I also have earrings to match. The eyeglass holders also sell for $10.

Or I could make jeweled/beaded badge holders - the kind you wear around your neck. If you have a friend that complains about having to wear an ugly badge all day...then this gift is for her.
For $10 you can get her a badge holder ...custom made just for her...and for an extra $10 there is the choice of matching watch band!! Fun.

Here I have the brown and gold eyeglass holder ($10) with matching earrings ($4), matching watch band $10 with an additional $10 for the watch face) or a memory wire bracelet that sells for $8.

One more new item are my clunky rings...I have made up two designs so far for your Christmas parties ...one that is made up of various sized red, green and crystal beads, and one ring done in clear crystals that will be just perfect for this years Christmas party. I will add more pictures tomorrow (Tuesday) so come back to see them!
This picture shows my crystal and silver watch band ($10 +$10 for a watch face too), crystal and silver necklace and earring set ($16.00) and crystal ring with Swarovski crystals ($10)...or the whole set for $35
More brooches - this one is round instead of oval...$17.50
This is the only brooch that cannot also be worn as a necklace. I could make it possible if someone wanted it that way. This brooch is only $12.50

The lavender brooch shown is has been SOLD...it went this morning and is in the mail already. The earrings did not go with it so if you would like an elegant pair of cameo earrings with antique gold frames these are only $12.50 for the pair.


I am posting a few new things here - if you are new to this blog site then scan on down to older posts that show all of my necklaces and watches from past posts. I will also have more pictures to post tomorrow. So stay tuned!

More watchbands!!

I've been busy busy busy this week but not TOO busy to make more watch bands. I'm being inspired right now by the watch faces I got in the mail last week. You will see my prices are for the WATCH BAND ONLY.... if you want a watch face it is an additional $10.00. My watchbands run from $7.50 to $12.00 each depending on the beads that make them up.

As I mentioned in my last blog, I wanted to create watch bands with matching necklaces. I have several here that I made to match necklaces that I already had.
This one I made just especially for the watch band though. This is the second watch band that I made and when I bought the beads I bought enough to make a necklace with it...and so, created this gorgeous piece. I call it Peach Beauty - the necklace and earrings alone would sell for $25. The watch band is another $10, and the watch face another $10.00 ...that's $45 for ALL, but I've discounted them, as a group, to $40.00

This necklace is called Checkered circles and it looks great with this watch band. I could make a necklace to match the bracelet perfectly or a watch band to match the necklace perfectly. Three choices with this one if you are interested in a matched set. The necklace and earrings sell for $20.00 The watch band plus the watch face and the necklace set would be discounted to $35.00 for all.
Copper marble is the name of this necklace set. You can see where I got the name for this one with the oversized marble stones. This necklace normally sells for $22.00. The watch band would be $12.00 and the watch face an additional $10.00 if you wanted it also. However, necklace, earrings, watch face and watch band would sell for only $40.00 instead of the $44.00 separately.
This necklace is called Garden Mist and I have posted it previously also. It has matching earrings and it HAD a bracelet that went with it. However, I was not happy with the wiring on the bracelet and so took it apart and made this matching watch band for it. With the Swarovski element pieces (2) placed into the watch band (they cost me $1.50 apiece!) I have to charge $12.00 for this watch band.
This is my turquoise dichroic glass necklace and earring set. The watch band is made up of the same bead work and is stunning with the copper toned watch face. The pricing on this set is: $24.00 for the necklace and earrings, $12.00 for the watch band, plus $10.00 for the watch face. I would discount it to $40.00 also.

This watch band is in crystals and silvers - one that you could wear with almost anything. It sells for $10.00 for the watch band. The watch face would be another $10.00
This is the same watch band you just looked at. You can see more of the detail of the watch band above.
This watch band is made up of large pieces of amethyst with other beads in silver and purples and lavenders. $10.00 -

This watch would match the necklace I sold this summer called Carnelian Heart. As you can see it has large pottery squares, circles and one heart in carnelian tones. It is accented in gold. It sells for $12.00. I do have additional pieces that I could make another matching necklace for it.
Most of the watch faces have bars on each side of the watch face that you connect the two lobster claws to. I make a double stranded watch band for them . The watch band above in browns and the one below in pinks are made with a single 'strand' and a single lobster claw on each end to connect to smaller watch faces that have loops on each end. These watches will be less expensive - the bands will sell for $7.50 each as will the watch face.
You can see this watch face has the metal loops at each side for a single lobster claw. They are also interchangeable with different watch bands. This whole watch AND watch band set would sell for $15.00


There are actually two necklaces that go with this watch band. The one on the left called Evening Splendor is a one of a kind series that I have posted previously. Double click on the picture so you can see the beauty of this watch band. The pendant on the necklace is a Swarovski Element and I have placed two identical pieces into the watch band so it is a truly elegant piece. The necklace and earring set sells for $24.00 normally. The watch band costs $12.00 and then add an additional $10 for the watch face. I would give a 10%+ discount if you bought the watch, the band, and the necklace...$40.00 for all.

The necklace on the right is an illusion necklace called Porcelain Beauty that normally sells for $15.00 - again add $12.00 for the watch band, and another $10.00 for the watch face but I would discount all to just $33.00 for the complete set.



This watch band was on my last blog but kind of got lost in the shuffle. As I took pictures for my Etsy site I decided this was so pretty I needed to post it again. $10.00 for the watch band

My ladybug watch band sells for $10.00
This watch band is fun as it has two little picture frames that you can slip pictures of your loved ones into....great gift for a new mom!!! It will sell for $12.00 for the band. This one is done in pale pinks but it can be done in pale blues or any color tone you wanted!
Last but not least is this sunshine yellow watch band. It is not the same one that I showed you last week with the yellow pearl flat beads and crystals all around. It has some of the same beads but also has big pale yellow pearls and cute little sunshine flowers. Only $10.00 for the watch band and/or $10.00 for the watch face.

I haven't had time to post any of these to my etsy site so if you want any of these just email me a petalsoftjewelry@willden.org. Again - I make custom jewelry so if you have a special color desired or if you prefer big and clunky or petite and small - just email me and we will figure it out for you.

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!
