Major Changes at B.B. Bellezza



UPDATED 2/23/13

I have some bittersweet news today.  I have decided to focus on my Tutorial Business and take a break from making and selling jewelry. 

I will continue the jewelry business until the end of February 2013.  At that point, I will be closing my booth at Building Character.  My plan is for this to be a permanent change; however, I will follow my heart and see where it leads me.

It's bittersweet, but I'm letting go of the comfortable to reach for goals more in alignment with my dreams.  It's a decision that has been difficult and well thought out.

To answer some questions before they come up:

  • I will not make custom pieces and I will not be doing wholesale.  There is a possibility that I will be consigning jewelry at one location on a limited basis, and there are a few charities that I will continue to make jewelry for, but I will not take on any new charities.  After the end of February, there may only be one exclusive store to get my handcrafted jewelry.  I will definitely let you know where.

(Don't worry, though, I will teach you to make your own!!  Check out Emerging Creatively Tutorials and make sure to sign up for my Tutorials Newsletter!)


  • Artwork Pendants has closed. 



  • I will relay information on my email newsletter throughout February as well as here on my blog and on my facebook page.  Yes, there will be a sale (a big one at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER February 15, 16 and 17.)  I will post all the details.



  • No, I will not stop making jewelry.  I will definitely be making myself jewelry with the monthly challenges on Project Jewelry and I will be designing new jewelry and teach others how to make it.  I just won't be making jewelry to sell anymore.



  • If you have any issues/need repairs of jewelry you bought from me, by all means please contact me to fix it!

  • NEW:  At the end of February, I will be listing any jewelry still remaining in my Etsy Shop at a discount.  When it's gone, it's gone.  I will let you know when it starts to be available.  I will not be making anything new, though,.

I appreciate all of the support you have given me through the years.  This isn't goodbye, it's just a change!  I hope to inspire you to live a creative life and to make things for yourself!


Please join me at Emerging Creatively Tutorials.  Even if you don't like to make things, I also write about creativity and inspiration in general and anyone could use that!  (My main topics include:  Inspiration and Creativity, Jewelry Tutorials, Sewing, Scrapbooking - both digital and traditional, Embroidery and other miscellaneous tutorials.)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Discover new Valentine's Day Jewelry


Valentine's Day is coming up soon and for B.B. Bellezza that means HEARTS! 

I have all new heart jewelry! 

The hearts started out as wire.  I twist and wrap the wire.  After it's formed, I hammered the wire to harden it and help it keep it's shape.  Plus it gives the hearts a beautiful texture.

You can find all the designs in my etsy shop.

Available are:

Copper,
Silver plated copper
and Black coated copper.

You can get earrings, pendant or a gift set.

$15 each

Show your love or give a thoughtful Valentine's Day gift!  Just let me know if it's a gift and I place it in a gift box, send it to the recipient and add your custom message!

Note:  I do note have the black coated or silver plated heart necklaces listed yet, but feel free to contact me to order them.

These are all made to order, so give me a couple of extra days to get your order in the mail.
