Something A Little Bit Different

Predominately the items that I currently create are centred around charms and macrame jewellery. So I thought I would add something a little bit different in to my Etsy store….

Purple Velvet Swarovski Crystal Bottle Pendant

Padparadscha Swarovski Crystal Bottle Pendant

Sunflower Swarovski Crystal Bottle Pendant

White Opal Swarovski Crystal Bottle Pendant

There are also a number of other Swarovski crystal colours available within the bottle necklaces section.

Purple Wyvern Jewels On The High Street!

As of last Saturday, Purple Wyvern Jewels can be found on the high street. A selection of my jewellery and bookmark items can be found in the Community Pop Up Shop located in the High Chelmer Shopping Centre in Chelmsford, UK.

The Community Pop Up Shop, makes use of an empty retail shop whilst raising money for charity and giving local artists and crafts people an opportunity to show off their items to a wider audience. The Community Pop Up Shop was originally open back in March, and had expected to be only open for two weeks due to lease reasons, but ended up running for eight weeks, before having to close. It’s now back again in a slightly different location within the High Chelmer Shopping Centre and this time I’ve taken the opportunity to showcase some of my creations there. (I don’t have any photos of the shop to share, as I forgot to take my camera with me, so will hopefully add a picture or two when I next pop by the shop.)

Included amongst my jewellery items, are some children’s bracelets that aren’t currently available elsewhere. My little boy, has been asking for some time now for me to make some jewellery for him, which I finally got around to a little while ago. The elastic bracelet I made for him, is made from plastic beads in white, with teal and a splash of orange and yellow being in sparkly glittery colours. Here’s my little boy even being a willing model for me:

Monday Update – Event & New Items

I’ve got another event lined up for me to attend. It’s the Bastille Day Fair taking place at Hockley & Hawkwell Methodist Church in Hockley, Essex (SS5 4QY) on Saturday 14th July from 10am – 1pm.

I’m hoping that it will be a good day for all concerned, with some nice sunny weather – we can wish given how changeable the weather has been here recently. I’ll be taking along my new silver plated jewellery and bookmark items to sell at an event for the first time. Plus, I’ve developed a new item which I will also be taking to the event, and that you get to have a sneak peek at (see below).

Hair Clips!

These trefoil flower shapes come in a variety of colours ~ pink, blue, red, purple, gold/silver combination and orange are shown in the photos below. The gold/silver combination has 2 petals in gold with 1 in silver. (It’s also possible to have black, bronze or green petals which are not shown in the photos below).

These hair clips use a typical snappy/bendie/sleepies (depending upon what you like to call them) as the basis of the hair clip. Then I’ve utilised Chain Maille items, scale maille for the petals and chain maille rings to connect it all together. For those that don’t know, Chain Maille is the process of linking rings in patterns and was originally used as armour, but now-a-days is also used as a jewellery making technique.

These hair clips aren’t currently listed up on Etsy, but if they prove to be popular, then they’ll be added there too.

Magnetic Hematite Wrap Bracelets

Plus, last but not least, as I mentioned in last monday’s update, I’ve been adding magnetic wrap bracelets to my Etsy shop last week.

Monday Update – Flower Pendants & Magnetic Hematite Bracelets

As I stated in this post last month, I am adding a range of silver plated jewellery to my shop. The first items are crystal glass beads that I’ve wire wrapped to create flower shapes and added to a chain to create these lovely unique flower pendants.

Next up in my range of silver plated jewellery, are these lovely fun magnetic hematite stones.

Plus I have these bracelets in a wrap bracelet style that I will adding to my Etsy shop this coming week.

Rainbow Flourite Jewellery

I showed a sneak peek of some rainbow flourite gemstones back in April. So now you get to view the completed items that I made with these lovely colourful stones. The rainbow flourite stones have a semi-translucent nature to them and come in a variety of colours and shades from purple and green, to orange and yellow. The necklace has been created in the style of a cascade or waterfall necklace, and the bracelet is in a dangly style that creates motion when you move.

New Pendant Too

Whilst emerald is the common modern birthstone for May, agate along with emerald is a traditional birthstone for May. Agate is also the birthstone for the Zodiac sign Gemini (21 May – 21 Jun).

Back From Holiday

I’ve been slacking in making posts to this blog. However, that is due to spending a week away in Jersey for a summer holiday with my husband and little boy. We had a lovely time, it stayed fairly dry with quite a bit of blue sky and sunshine, although it was on the chilly side as it was windy. Although, that didn’t stop my little boy from enjoying digging on the beaches and paddling in the sea. The only downside to the holiday, was that I ended up getting a chest infection whilst we were away. I took my last antibiotic pill this morning thankfully, as those pills taste HORRIBLE! I’ve been busy catching up on all the washing that inevitably follows a long trip away, but at least the blue skies we’ve been having the past few days have been really sunny and warm, which has helped me get through the tonne of washing quicker.

Belated Tuesday Treasury

Obviously with being busy due to my holiday, I haven’t been creating any treasuries. However, I do have two to post that feature my jewellery items. The first features my golden jade necklace and the second treasury features my golden jade earrings with sunflower yellow Swarovski crystals.

Newest Item

Amethyst Sterling Silver Earrings

These earrings consist of faceted rectangular amethyst semi-precious gemstones and sterling silver beads which hang off post earrings. These coordinate with my amethyst necklace and amethyst bracelet that were mentioned in previous posts (Sneak Peek & New Necklace and New Jewellery Items In Store & Next Event).

Amethyst is the birthstone for February and for the Zodiac sign Pisces (20 February – 20 March).

Tuesday Treasury – Bursting With Flavours

I’ve been having some fun with making treasuries this week, so much so, I’ve got several to show you. There’s a bit of a flavour thing going on, with raspberries, lemons, limes and mint. The last treasury, featuring the raspberry colour theme, was inspired and based around craftsbybeck’s handmade item of a Crochet Scarf.

Sneak Peek & New Necklace

Amethyst Necklace Wire Wrapped In Sterling Silver, February Birthstone Necklace

The latest addition to my store is this amethyst necklace wire wrapped in sterling silver. It consists of faceted rectangular amethyst semi-precious gemstones, with the central amethyst accentuated on both sides by sterling silver beads. I really love the variety in these amethyst gemstones, as they vary from light to dark purple, semi-transparent to opaque and some have striped patterns to them.

Amethyst is the birthstone for February and for the Zodiac sign Pisces (20 February – 20 March).

I recently purchased some more gemstones. So here’s a quick sneak peek as to what will be featured in my store in the near future:

Black Spider Web Jasper Gemstones

Crystal Quartz Blue & Rainbow Flourite Gemstones

I also have the same dagger style of crystal quartz in grey that is featured in the picture, as well as the blue. I chose the crystal quartz as I like the unusual shape, as it will make quite different and unique items of jewellery.

My Golden Jade Necklace in Sterling Silver was featured today in the treasury Summer Preview….

Sneak Peek & Several New Items In My Store

Green Agate & Fire Agate Gemstones

I recently brought these green agate and fire agate tear drop shaped gemstones from another Etsy shop. I can’t make up my mind which of the two stones I like best. I love the green colour of the green agate gemstones, but I really like the pattern effect of the fire agate gemstones. They will be turned in to pendants due to the size and shape of the stones.

I also ordered some more gemstones on Friday. So there will likely be another sneak peek later on next week too, once I’ve received that package.

Also, I have been working behind the scenes, I’m in the middle of improving SEO for my listings, to hopefully improve people finding my items in searches on Etsy. Plus, I have been designing my own website for Purple Wyvern Jewels. It will be a while yet before the website is up and running, but watch this space for future announcements…
