It's taken some time for me to get started 'cos I tend to make jewellery just for fun. BUT after suggestions from several friends, I finally decided to see if I could actually sell some stuff - to other friends.
Turns out that in this world of ready-to-wear, CUSTOM is the way to go. Not that it's exactly an issue with me, since EVERY piece I make is one-of-a-kind.
I'm only into the idea of 'fashion as wearable art', so no replications for me!!!
So here's the first two pieces I've ever sold...and definitely custom made...
A gorgeous purple beaded necklace for my friend Gloria...
and a bracelet for my friend and neighbour Keely.
Both these pieces incorporate the latest in jeweller trends, swarovski crystals!!!
Oddly enough, my dad prefers crystals to actual gem stones - he actually seems to have a point now...you just can't get that same sparkle with anything other than crystals...
