Formal Occasion Jewelry

OK this has been so fun to make custom jewelry sets for a special formal occasion. Such as high school prom, college formal, or a cruise formal night. Now a days we girls spend a fortune on a gorgeous dress or outfit for our special night out, and we just can't find the perfect jewelry to top it off. Well worry no more, because I have it for you, and if I don't I can custom make it for you. Some of the hottest Prom dress colors these days are orange, hot pink, lime green, aqua blue, and black & white. I have all these colors in my fun chunky styles. I also have my traditional pearls for a very elegant evening. One of my favorite custom makes was for a cheerleader at Davis High. She had an absolute gorgeous tangerine prom dress & went everywhere to find jewelry and she couldn't find a thing to match or that was exactly what she had in mind. When she found me, she was so excited. I custom made her a set that matched perfectly and was exactly what she wanted. She said she got more compliments on the jewelry than her hair, (which took three hours to do - and it her hair was beautiful.) So it made my day that she was so happy. This is why I love doing jewelry!

Wedding Jewelry

If you find a style you like and it will go perfect for a gift for your bridesmaids or flower girls, just let me know. I can customize your perfect jewelry for you, and everyone in your line, including the mothers, and grandmothers. All for a very fair price. I have been doing weddings for a few years and love it. I love to see everything come together and the jewelry just helps complete a perfect day! I have pearls, to chunky beads, and the little flower girls look so dainty in a little ribbon & pearl necklace and a matching little ring or bracelet, so cute!

Earrings, Earrings, Earrings!

I have tons of earrings for sale! Over 100 or more. I know a little excessive but they are so fun, and each one designed differently by me. I have mother of pearl shells, abalone shells and different stones. My shell earrings are $8 and all other stones, glass beads, wood, silver, flip flops - $6!!! They are all stainless steel posts. That is the reason I can sell them for less. My ears are fairly sensitive and they don't bother me. You have got to take a look at the variety I have. I have styles for 12 year old girls to the hippest grandmas you know. I can say that because my grandma loves to wear my jewelry too!

Baby Girl Hair Bows

I have a large variety of hair bows to choose from. In pinks, purples, yellows, red and some turquoise blues and sage green. These are $3.50 each or 2 or $6. They are also fun to clip into the stretch baby headbands below. It makes people think you have several heads bands when you clip in different bow every day! That's my secret. My husband TJ is so funny he always says, "Why does Kaitlyn always need a bow on, and I reply sweetie she is a little girl and they are so fun to play dress up with:) I don't think he can stand it, but people always stop me everywhere I go and ask where I bought her bows. I guess the crazy thing is Kaitlyn being my little model has brought me many sales!

Stretchy, Soft, Baby Bands

These baby girl headbands are so fun for a baby shower gift, a friend, a blessing, a birthday, your daughter, you name it. They are $5 or 2 for $8 and so cute! I have pinks, yellow, sage green, cream, purple, & orange to choose from. I also make special occasion bows and headbands for all holidays. You can put these on your baby as early as a newborn. They stretch and they are so soft that they won't leave marks on your baby or hurt her. Kaitlyn our little daughter wore one home from the hospital. It fact her hair is so blond and thin, she still wears them and looks darling in them. I found the trick is to have our girls wear them young and then they get used to it. She never tries to pull them out and now that she is 1 1/2 she asks me for her pretties! She's not ready to go until her bows and bracelet are on. It's darling!

Any Baby Bling Lovers?

These baby binky holders are fun, baby gifts. I have all different styles and colors. I have football, soccer, and baseball binky holders for the boys, and butterflies, pinks, purples, and pearls, ect. for the girls. The baby girl binky holders come with a matching bracelet for $10 a set. And the boy binky holders are $7. They make a darling handmade gift for friends and family.

Tiffany & Company Catalog

This is kind of hard to see but it's the real Tiffany & Co. catalog from New York. TJ and I were lucky enough to go there. That was obviously before Kaitlyn our 2ND baby was born. We decided we will just wait till the kids we are older before we travel there again. It's hard to leave them and even harder to take them. Anyway, we got several catalog's and people have enjoyed comparing styles and prices to the real Tiffany & Co. They are suprised how close to identical the replica's are.

Replica Tiffany & Co. Jewelry

Did you think I made these? Now that would be serious talent. Replica Tiffany & Company is one of my best sellers! Especially being in Utah because we don't have a Tiffany & Co. here. Who wants to pay $250 a necklace when you can buy the replica necklace for $35 each. It looks almost the same. I fool people all the time. I think they are awesome! I know the quality of silver isn't the same. Mine have tarnished over the years, but clean up well with silver or metal polish. For myself I would rather pay a ton lower price and have several styles. I almost always get compliments on this jewelry every time I wear it.

Longer Length Jewelry Sets

This style is similiar to the red silver set below. I love this color it's a sage green. It has two different colors green that blend together awesome. I charge $30 for the set of three (longer necklace style and extra silver added.) They look darling with a lime green shirt, jeans, or a fun summer dress!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

The jewelry on the left is a brown and red set with a pair of shorter dangle earrings. The lime green in on the right. Both are fun sellers for summer. You can dress it down with a white tee shirt or dress up in a collared shirt and skirt!

Longer Length Jewelry Sets

This is a fun style too. The longer necklaces are totally back! The bigger the beads the better and this set has extra chunky silver beads added for extra style and fun! I charge $30 for the set of three!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the tangerine and brown & silver set. The brown is a little chunkier style, it's darling on!

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the amber and cream, the aqua and cream. Again you can wear these colors with anything, jeans, tee shirts, spring dresses, & skirts. They are so neutral you can choose any style clothing.

Chunky Jewelry Sets

This is the purple set and red set with pearls. The red set also shows a matching ring with it. Many wedding I do like to choose a color that they have chosen for the wedding and add pearls to the bracelet's, necklace's, and earring's. It makes it look classy and still modern and stylish. I promise your bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls will enjoy wearing this gift a lot after the wedding is over.

Talia's Sassy Custom Rings

These rings are the hottest seller this spring. Ok I will admit, I copied the rings from Brass Plum in Nordstrom a few seasons ago. They are still going strong though. There prices were $20 a ring and mine are $6. They are bright, fun, and draw attention to any outfit or style you are wearing!

Just me & my babies!
