Hello

My last post dropped off the page :)

Just wanted to let everyone know that I make custom jewelry. My items are made with swarovski crystal, gemstone, czech glass, lampwork and sterling silver materials.

I also do a lot of wedding jewelry for brides and bridesmaids.

If you have something in mind that you don't see in my shop let me know and I will do my very best to create it for you.

Very pretty, but looks like I'd break it in about a day! For someone more careful than I, it'd be lovely!

You'd think... but it's made with a very sturdy wire. The wire I use is called Beadalon (it's the brand) Basically this particular piece of wire I have used is made with 7 individual pieces of steel wire put together to make one very strong wire. So while the bracelet looks very delicate it's really very sturdy.

I make my watches out of the same wire and one of my customers works in early childhood intervention and it's pulled and tugged on all the time.

Would you believe the bracelet is made with the same wire as this bracelet http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27593153

Oh, yes, I have broken bracelets made with that wire before! I have one bracelet I have restrung three times, with heavier gauge wire.

well... I personally try my best to make sure my bracelets and necklaces are made to be as strong and durable as possible and luckily no one has had any trouble but if one of my customers items DID break I would fix it for them :)

How much would a 16" necklace like this bracelet (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25091480) cost?

I could do that for $30.00 for a PT'er :)

I have a couple of bracelets and a pair of earrings that Tonya has made, and I've never had any problem with them. She does quality work, and I'd so much rather have her items, rather than some of the costume jewelry you see in even the better department stores. I know that she will repair or replace an item if there is a problem, but I'm sure that department store won't do the same for one of the mass produced items that they carry. :mad:

Buy from Tonya and you get an "original" too! :D

First, its TAnya. :) Hey, she got on MY case about it too when we first met.


Next, as for the "costume" jewlery. You might recall a recent experience she had at this little po-dunk craft show. Her booth was right next to this BIG "jewlery" booth. It was all cheap, "made in China by slave labor" JUNK. But it sold like hot cakes and Tanya only made one sale, at he very end.

But ya know what? One person browsing by made the comment "ohhhh, this is FINE jewlery." That's all she needs to know.

As with a lot of things in life... You get what you pay for.

So, but stuff from my wife. LOL We got a kid to raise. :D

/ shameless plug.

haha along the lines of "we've got a kid to raise"

this is an actual snippet from my shop announcement "Welcome to Hannah's Hands creations. This is named after my daughter as the money will probably end up in her hands"

haha I know which side my bread is buttered on :D

and thank you Pomptzu for the glowing feedback. I am really pleased to know you are enjoying your items :)

Now that is spectacular!! I LOVE purple - but am not a necklace wearer. If you ever do earrings with these specific items, let me know.

Yeah, I know I just ordered a pair of purple from you, but one can never have enough purple in their lives :)

it's funny you mention that because I just finished a pair of earrings with the same materials and was about to go out and take photos :)

I'm like you... I LOVE purple. I wish it suited me better so for now I live vicariously through hannah and dress her in purple a lot haha
