Handmade Jewelry Ideas: Polymer Clay on Metal Findings

Beautiful Handmade Jewelry

  My friend Andrea and I started our own Etsy shop together offering an amazing assortment of jewelry supplies. We've been working hard at getting our shop stocked, our motto being, "something for everyone".  (Here's our shop  www.etsy.com/shop/ANAJewelrySupplies)

 Along the way of preparing and listing jewelry supplies, I do a lot of research to keep up with the needs of handmade craftspeople.   In doing this, you can imagine I've come across some fantastic designs in handmade jewelry. For instance, today I found Ivy Niles' shop (www.etsy.com/shop/ikandiclay)! Here are a few of my favorites:

I found Ivy's shop by pure luck! I was research for these gorgeous new beads we listed today.   There are three styles (sold as a set) with each one having a different design, created in brass. The designs, a STARFISH, FLOWER, and SUNSHINE each hold a beautiful brightly -colored polymer clay element inside the "cages". Here they are:

Starfish, Flower and Sunshine Beads with Rhinestone Accents

Newly listed! Double-sided Brass Beads with colorful "Caged" polymer clay design.

 

 Two Tone Lavender & Purple, Turquoise & White Polka Dot and  Yellow/ Red Sunshine Colors

You will find our shop's prices will beat most others, especially when you consider the quality of the materials. For instance, this set of 3 beads, all brass, double-sided, with rhinestone accent is $4.50! Just imagine using these beads as the focal for a beautiful handmade necklace or bracelet made by YOU!

 Let's go back  to Ivy's shop for a second - check out what she does with her great designs.  I love this barrette. 

 I would definitely wear this! 

These seahorse earrings are amazing too! 

I don't know about you, but sometimes I find it hard to imagine what to do with polymer creations. I love it, I'd love to try my hand at it someday, but what would I do with my creations? Well, back to Ivy -  She has an excellent eye! Her designs are perfect - I love the colors, patterns, size and her designs seem to "fit". the back drop, fits the design element. AND TALK ABOUT WEARABLE! Not only would I wear any one of these pieces, but so would my teenage nieces!

I hope you will check out our new shop and see all the wonderful supplies we have! Don't forget, our shop's motto - "Something for Everyone" and great prices too!
