My first sale, the Amethyst Set.This was also one of may very first pieces made. I also made a similar one using Lapis Lazuli and here's one using Rose Quartz.

The Lapis Lazuli necklace was given to a friend for her as a Birthday Present and for helping me out with a garage sale and pre-wedding party menu and meal planning and cooking.

I had also found a two pattern for two different items at Lewiscraft when they were closing down for good. I remember when they had gone bankcrupt.

There were three spiders, yellow, red and turquoise. At first I had sold them separately as pendants, then later decided to attach them to chains.

This was the other pendant which I made three of, pink, red and blue. I decided to add them to one chain and attach them to each other.

Here are some earrings. My very first.




A few other pieces....



These were all made before I started out my business. Did I really know what I was doing? No!
So these pieces here haven't been priced well, according to labour and materials as I had no concept of the time it took me to design and make them. Nor did I have the inclination to journal my activities or the prices of any materials. I wasn't planning to sell them. This is why you will find that these pieces are priced lower compared to my newer ones.
It takes a lot of time, effort and work to buy, design and put everything together. So my prices affect all these aspects, travel time, designing time, material, and much more. In the end it is a pure labor of love, this jewelry business, beyond the mundane tasks, there is a love for the creativity, designing and making of the pieces.
I can't believe my jewelry business is heading into it's first year ending. Join me on facebook March 28-April 4, 2011 for a special celebration event. 

I still have that contest running until April 30th. Come by and check out the full details by clicking on this link.
