Exihibt: Wedding Jewelry for Jen!!

So my dear photographer friend Jon is constantly telling me I need to get into wedding jewelry and I think it is a sign because my lovely friend Jen is getting married in April and wants me to make her jewelry!  I'm no diamond designer but I figure there's a good market for nice looking affordable jewelry that can compliment a wedding dress.  It's also a good sign if my friends want me to make it for them.  I must be doing something right!  

While I cannot spoil any of Jen's other wedding plans, I will document my progress on the jewelry.  There are reasons for my choices based on the style of dress, which I will share AFTER the wedding! =)  Regardless we opted for a very simple necklace with nothing dangling with the components being a combination of white pearls, clear swarovski crystals, sterling silver beads and sterling silver chain.  

I like the idea of having necklaces that are heavier at the bottom and taper up around the neck.  I had a necklace laying around that was similar to this style, but we added some crystals and silver to the mix to create what you see in the photo!  From here it was pretty easy because I had already made the earrings that went perfectly well with the necklace!  All I need to do is actually put the pieces together then we'll have to have a fitting and tweak whatever is needed.  Sooo excited! =) 


Congrats again Jen and thank you for liking my work!  Can't wait to see the final look!

P.S.  Notice the brown and pink pearls in the upper left corner.  I will write more on this later but this was the initial brainstorming for the bridesmaid jewelry.  Stay tuned!
