Browse through my bridal collection, or customize almost any other piece on this site with beads in your wedding colours. All bridal necklaces and bracelets can be made into “Something” pieces, providing the traditional “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” I can incorporate vintage clasps, new beads, blue gems and a removable “borrowed” item of sentimental value, supplied by the bride. Blue and “borrowed” beads can be incorporated to “hide” in the design or take as prominent a place as you would like.
Once you see something you like as a starting point, or if you would like something designed from scratch, please complete the contact form. If you are customizing an existing piece, please note its name, and include it on the form.
Form submission will begin the cooperative process of creating your ideal piece(s), but doesn’t obligate you to make a purchase.

I’ll work with you ahead of time to select materials and designs that coordinate with your wedding’s theme, tone and colours. Your bridal party can then custom design their own jewelry, within your chosen parameters, to complement their skin tone, face shape and dress design. Note that most designs can be modified for bridal wear, simply by changing the colours to whites, silvers and crystals, with or without the addition of your wedding colour scheme.
As a thank-you for the hostess, you will receive a credit of 10% of the value of all orders received at the party. There is a deposit of $100 for the party, which will be waived once total purchases reach $110.
For a truly memorable occasion with your bridesmaids, consider adding an optional “make your own” event for the bridal party jewelry. I’ll help you choose a beautiful design that is simple enough for beginners to make themselves. Materials, instructions, and assistance will be provided to anyone wanting to make her own jewelry for your special day.
Charge is $30 per participant, plus the cost of materials, with a minimum of 4 participants.
