Shopping for Jewelry

Here are just a few pointers to think about when you are considering jewelry as a gift.

Once you’ve checked your list and you know whom you’re buying for think about what you may have seen that person wearing in the past. Don’t go too far off the beaten path. If you only see this person in tiny earring or basic colors this may not be the person who would love the extra long, bright orange, dangling earrings. Stay with colors you know they like and will wear as well as a style that is similar to what you have seen them in already.

Some women have their favorite pieces and that is what they wear on a daily basis. They might enjoy something like a zipper pull to add a splash of color to their jacket or purse.





Any jewelry makes a great gift all on it’s own or you could pair it with a top or sweater. If you are doing this you have two different directions you could go. One is to stay in the same color pallet. So if you are giving a beige sweater as a gift you could choose jewelry that is in the brown family.

Or you could go with jewelry that makes a statement. Turquoise earring with a white or brown top can be very eye-catching.

This green necklace looks good with same colored top...

...or it gives an added punch to this teal sweater.

Something with several colors can work with a variety of shirts….

This long multi colored necklace can be worn long or wrapped and worn as a double layer shorter necklace. See how it seems to change with different tops.

If you’re still at a loss I like these simple malachite earrings. They are a dark gray metallic color and will go nicely with any outfit. This is what I put on when I don’t have something to match what I’m wearing.

If you want to go with earring but can’t make up your mind

try the earring of the month club.

It’s a gift that keeps coming.

You can order 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.

I will send a different pair

of earrings to the recipient each month.

Check out more ideas on my website or see the “open house” post.

Happy Shopping!!

OPEN HOUSE

For the past several years I have hosted an Open House for my jewelry business. Last year I became very sick, stayed sick for some time and I needed to cancel my usual open house. This year I thought I would try an on-line Open House.

For the next several days, take a look around and browse for some holiday gifts or maybe get yourself something new for the season. You can look here or over at my website. There the showcase page will show you items that are in limited supply or one-of-a-kind. The catalog page shows items that you can custom order in the color/style of your choice. Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

This post shows some of my new designs and some of my best sellers as well as my favorite items. I’ll be posting some other info this week to help you shop for your jewelry so check back. You can place an order via e-mail. Payments are made via Pay Pal with an invoice sent from you to my e-mail address. (rebecca.designs@hotmail.com).

In the mean time think about who might be on your list…
Mom, Grandma, Sister, brother’s girlfriend, teacher, babysitter, secret Santa at work, I even have a few gifts just for him. (I'll post those soon!)

Most of what you’ll see is made with supplies I keep on hand but some things may need to be ordered and a few things are special beads that I have a limited supply of so check the description for availability.


Remember I can make any change you like to whatever design you like...just ask.

Let me know if you need help shopping.

These book marks make a nice gift finished or I can also put them together as a Do-It-Yourself project with directions and photos. Great for the crafty person on your list.



I have eye glass necklaces in any color. I also make necklaces for ID badges.

Here's an example of a necklace and earring set. We can put together any style of necklace and/or earrings in the color(s) of your choice.

"Hoop Loops" are a fun way to jaze up your store bought hoop earrings. Order gold or silver and any bead colors.

Just a few of my earrings. There are other styles too.

Hmmm, what about a bracelet. Don't forget you're not limited to what you see, I'll make whatever you have in mind.

That should get you started. If you haven’t seen what you’re looking for pop on over to the website to see some more options. Check back here too for new additions as the days go by.

Happy Shopping!!!
