Handmade Love Vol. VI: Jewelry Edition

 Here is another edition of my handmade love posts, where I post lovely handmade items I find on Etsy. These one seems to be themed as I've chosen all jewelry pieces. Aren't they gorgeous?


     Gold Dust Shake Bracelet

$32.20 by helloberry

HelloBerry is a handmade jewelry shop run by three girlfriends, which I think is so much fun! I've been buying a lot of chunky chain jewelry lately and this shop is further fueling my current jewerly obsession. The lace part of these bracelets also come in other fun colors like silver, white, and fog gray. I've been debating between the all gold bracelet above or the black/gold combination.

Iridescent Silver Sparkle Earrings

 

$47 by tinygalaxies

Aren't these earrings gorgeous?! Almost all the jewelry in this shop is made with glitter and if you've been following my blog you know by now that I'm pretty much obsessed with things that sparkle. When I stumbled upon the fabulous earrings above, her shop immediately went into my favorites. If you want to add a bit of glimmer to your life, definitely check out tinygalaxie's shop.

Gold Vermeil Earrings

$28 by juliegarland

In my opinion, whoever said that mixing gold & silver is a no-no was very mistaken. Over the past few years, my jewelry collection has been growing with pieces that mix the two tones which is why I'm loving these gold nugget on silver hoop earrings.

Rings and Pretty Things 2

Like I said in my first blog post on handmade jewelry, every time I wear a piece of handmade jewelry I get so many compliments. Here are more of my favorites from my handmade jewelry collection. All of which can be found & purchased on Etsy.

Pearl Cluster Bracelet $28-30

I'm glad I received this dark pink bracelet for Christmas. Because if I had to choose one bracelet to put on my Christmas list it would be one tough decision. AMIdesigns has so many beautiful pearl colors and combinations! Even the toggle clasp is pretty! I wore this out to dinner with my friends and they loved it.

Pearls and Ribbon in Tiffany $25

I love any piece of jewelry combining bows & pearls. I wore this necklace for my birthday dinner. I paired it with a black top and it really dressed up my outfit. This necklace is from themustardseedco.

Petite Fabric Rosette Earrings $7.00

Lovestitched takes handmade fabric roses and uses them to create lovely accessories like rings, earrings, and even headbands. As you can see, I love tiffany blue and chose a pair of rose earrings. These little roses are post earrings and cover most of the ear lobe. They come in many pretty colors, and at $7 a pair you can afford to get more than one.

Mini Lou Rosette Hair Pins $7.00

I also purchased these Rosette Hair pins from Lovestitched's shop. I chose the hot pink and dark grey as my set of two. I love wearing one of these to pin back my hair when I curl my hair.

Rings and Pretty Things

One of my favorite things to shop for on Etsy is jewelry. Every time I wear a piece of jewelry from Etsy I get several compliments on that piece and people asking me where I bought it. Compliments don't happen nearly as often when I wear a piece from a chain store. With so many talented jewelry sellers on Etsy, it can be hard to choose. Here are some of my favorite Etsy jewelers (check back for part 2 including necklaces and bracelets). Enjoy & let me know your favorites!

Queen of Hearts Earrings.

Who says you can't mix gold and silver? I love these earrings from 3RexesJewelry for exactly that reason. They look medieval yet are still very girly with a pretty pink stone set in a heart. I'm not sure if 3rexes still makes my particular earring, however, she has plenty of other really pretty sets up for sale.

Satin Bow and Pearl Earrings $10

I get so many compliments on these bow and pearl earrings when I wear them. I purchased these earrings in turquoise and I loved them so much, I went back and bought them in black too. Everything in MademoiselleMermaid is so bright and colorful- perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons! She just added pink (and black) polka dotted bow earrings to her shop. So cute- not sure how long I'm going to be able to resist...

Blue Drusy with Hearts Ring $92

I used to collect rocks when I was little. My favorites were the ones that sparkled. When I saw this ring from luckyduct, it reminded me of my sparkly rock collection. I had to buy it and decided it would be a "celebration" ring for my one year Etsy anniversary. Believe me, it's even sparklier (is that even a word?) in person!

Pink Topaz Pink Rock Fetish Ring $168

With so many pretty rings in onegarnetgirl's shop, I had such a hard time choosing what ring to put on my Christmas list. Then I saw this ring- as soon as I saw the *hot pink* stone I was sold. I love this ring! (Here it is pictured sitting on my glass heart ring holder ($32) from providenceartglass.)
