ID Bracelets

Having my cute little one around me has caused my attention to be re focused on new things. Mama and baby jewelry! Check out this sweet little baby bracelet. I made the same bracelet for my self. Yes, it says my daughters name, think of it as the new version of the birthstone jewels. Instead of the colored stones, you get the beautiful name you took so long to decide on!

Luna's Beauties

Luna and Sergio work at C&P coffee in West Seattle, and they'll be married in Hawaii in a few weeks. I've loved this quaint coffee shop on California Ave for quite some time, but over the last few months I have adored it and spent many an hour in the back yard sipping iced lattes, reading, hanging out with Luka (my 2 month daughter) and making jewelry. As I was making the jewelry for Danielle (see last post) Luna asked about a pair for her up coming wedding in Hawaii. Here's what I created for her. They are very similar to the ones I made for Danielle, except they are just a smidge shorter, about 2".

JEWELS, for Danielle and her ladies.

Danielle and Frank were married August 15th, 2008. Her wedding went from a fairly casual to an all out classic gorgeous wedding.... with a little more "fancy" than originally thought. Her jewelry shows that transformation. Originally we were going to make some initial pendants for the girls to wear, then as things evolved it didn't quite fit with the feeling or match their dresses. In the end we decided on pearls, stones and crystals. They are SO lovely!

Necklaces for the bridesmaids.

And a stunning pair of long, chin skimming earrings for the Bride.

Congratulations Danielle and Frank! All the best to you!

New Work! lovely little ditty!

Check out this new set of Gems! Mary and her fiancee Mark are getting married this weekend... April 26th! Mark is a graphic designer. He created a logo for their wedding and we incorporated it into some jewels for Mary, her maid of honor, her sister and sister-in-law AND Mark. I hope they love these as much as I do. 

I've got to get to work making some of these for ME!

This is one of 2 matching circles cut from the same band of silver. 

The other is on the brides necklace.

Missing from these detail photos of the maid of honors necklace 

is the logo which is embedded in resin. 

It dangles from the clasp down her back.SEXY!

This is the necklace designed for the sisters. 

It is a representation of the logo Mark designed using metal. 

Using different levels of sand paper I was able to 

create the same visual look of the graphic.

Cuff links for Mark... using his design!

I wish Mark and Mary all the love in the world. 

May your marriage be full of love, compassion, giggles and never ending growth.

Thanks for asking me to help make this day special for you.

Wedding show a SUCCESS!

Hey Friends- I have not posted since October? Crazy! I've been a busy bee lately. The wedding show went off last weekend without a hitch. We had a blast and everyone seemed to love the new line of work. Here's some photos of the booth and a few of the jewels we had on display. I can't say thank you enough to those that helped. Leah, Erin, Rachelle, Amy, Lea, and Dan, you are the best! This NEVER would have happened with out you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, and I love you.
I've posted some of the samples on my etsy account (www.rebekahj.etsy.com) if any of you are interested in purchasing any of the lovley jewels that we had at the show. The samples are for sale at a discounted rate of $45!! This sample to the left is called "Love Birds". Over the last few months I've grown interested in collaborating with other artists and using their art within my work. The "Love Birds" is made using art crafted by Chelsea Sevorg, the "Birdnerd" as she's called on Etsy. She hails from the San Francisco area... and I've gone gaga over her small bird portraits made from assorted papers. Some of them even made using vintage wall paper! ya!
I've also started a collection of lovely little necklaces that are reminiscent of the pieces I made for my own bridesmaids. The circles are all hand fabricated and soldered together in small clusters. Each one is then embellished with little gems. This one has a variety of black and blue stones. The stones are and tied, and then attached to the chain. Everyone of these necklaces is one of a kind and will only set you back $100!

Happy Saturday!

Ta-ta for now.
