New Treasures In My Shop

I posted six new bracelets in my Etsy shop yesterday. It feels so good to be creating pretty little things again. My favorite is this one.....



I'm hoping others feel as good about my jewelry as I do. I spend so much time getting the design just right so that the piece not only looks good, but will also fit the wearer perfectly.....this is especially important when I'm working with elastic cord. This bracelet and the other five I made incorporate elastic cord for ease of wearing, so I need to keep all potential customers in mind when I create these. Too small....and someone with a larger wrist won't buy it for fear it will cut off circulation. Too big.....and someone with a dainty wrist won't be able to keep it on. Finding the happy medium is tricky, but I believe that when making these, 7" around is perfect....not too big, not too small.....and they stretch, so that's PERFECT.

However, it does happen that I inadvertently create some of these types of bracelets that are only meant for a tiny wrist. Here are two from this bunch that are currently meant for smaller wrists, but could be sized up if needed.



I also did a remake of a bracelet I sold a while ago. This time I made it a bit bigger. It's a very simple, open design that goes with anything. I call it ELEGANT.

Until next time.....
