 I am so excited to share my newest pieces!

Crystal Pendant Necklaces

Each pendant is made with an upcycled crystal from a chandelier. The back is flat and I have applied either a part of a page of an old book, part of a postcard, or other image. The pendant is sealed with a glass-like glaze. The pendant was then wire-wrapped with silver plated wire.

The prototype I made to try out has gotten a lot of attention. This is of me wearing my prototype so you have an idea of what it looks like on.

 

(It's also a photo of me with my new haircut!  I was able to donate my hair!)

The pendant is nearly 3 inches long at its longest point. It's a bit more than 1 1/2" wide at its widest point.

Available now in my etsy shop and they will be at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER by First Friday in August!

Sneak Peek at the 2010 Fall Line....Fabric Flower Necklaces

Here's another sneak peek at my 2010 Fall Line!  

These flowers are made from clothing that I have reused or from scraps leftover from other projects.  The buttons are vintage and the pearls are reused from a vintage necklace.

These necklaces (and much more) will be available at the Online Release of the B.B. Bellezza 2010 Fall Line on September 2nd, 3 pm Eastern.

(Others will be available at Building Character on September 3rd 6pm - 9 pm at the in person release.)

Summer=Bracelets

I think summer is the perfect time of year for bracelets!

We lose the sweaters and long sleeves in favor of short sleeves, tank tops or sleeveless shirts and dresses.  It's the perfect time to show off your wrists with some fun, quirky, unique bracelets!

Wear them alone or layer them for a fun look!

How to Upcycle a Chandelier

This is my latest creation!  

The focal point of this ring is an upcycled crystal from a chandelier.  The chandelier was damaged and could not be fixed, so I bought the pieces to use in jewelry.  

You've no doubt seen my earrings

Necklace

and bracelet

all made from the crystals from the chandelier.

This ring is the latest in the line.  They coordinate to make a nice set, or you can wear them separately.

All the pieces are now available in my Etsy Shop or at my booth at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER. (Rings will be available at BUiLDiNG CHARACTER tomorrow)

Sadly, though, I am coming to the end of my chandelier crystal supply, so there won't be many more of any of these pieces.
