Winter 2010-11 Photoshoot

A couple of days ago, dear friends Alison & Sofia were kind enough to pose for some jewelry shoots for the new Collections.

It was great fun, especially since i have spent a month at home after surgery and have missed the girl talk and doing creative things with creative people!

Here are some pics from the Exclusive Collection which is available from now...for the Limited Edition Collections it will be a while till they are unveiled :).

New unique pieces and Winter designs ready. Also Summer Sale!

I have been out of commission for about a month, after a triple whammy surgery extravaganza...Spent a week in the hospital and then spent a stupid amount of time in front of the telly, which i usually loathe...

But this week i managed to get some work done! yeay!
All winter collections are ready, coded and photographed (don't be impatient!) and i also organized and priced some new unique designs... Will also be involved in a bit of a makeover of my brand...I loved the look but I feel i have outgrown it's girlyness and am up some something a bit more upscale, serious and... yes! minimal!!!...
Wait and see what is the new look is like!

This is a sneak peak of the winter collections...

Winter Garden
Reds and greens, flowers, vintage wallpapers, ornate gold.
Dramatic and baroque style.

Abstractions
Geometric shapes, animal prints, curves.
Dynamic combination of vintage and modern.

Cupids & Hearts
Pale pinks and ivories, flowers, hearts, pearls.
Romantic and tender.

Funnies
Simple rings and cameos with funny,ironic sayings.
Young and economical.

Hope you like the new designs...in the meantime all Summer designs are on Sale!!!

Spring brings change...

Well it was Spring already when i last updated the website -about a month ago!-, but i decided i wanted a bit of a fresh look for it! As far as my website design, i decide to simplify, then i decide to flourish and the story goes on and on... that's the price i have to pay for having webmaster freedom ;)

It was my *flourishing* time of year, so i added some cute features and rearranged the pages a bit. Take a peek and i would love to hear your opinions.

So Fun

I was just looking through Etsy, looking for some colorful happy things to brighten my day after a bout of food poisoning (me and bf spent the second day of Easter comparing symptoms and pampering eachother) and came upon this lovely umbrella!

So fun, so flowery, i would love to carry it through winter

for a bust of color and a bit of vintage flair!

First Photoshoot

Alison, a friend and fellow designer, was kind enough to pose for me in a few pics featuring my jewelry.

She did her own hair and I did the make up, styling and took the shots. Pretty good for a first effort I think...

Enjoy!

Peek at New Summer Designs

Here are some pics from a trade exibition for Summer 09 with some of my new designs...

Updated Website

I have 3 new collections online!

A sample of each collection to be more precise, but it will give everyone a good idea of what my winter designs are about! The ROCK collection has many pieces for men or women...My first attempt on creating jewelry with a masculine edge!

I might add more pieces later on, but probably will have a brand new collection as well, something funky and fresh that can be customizable as well :)

so check out http://www.jewelsbyjessica.com/ and if you send me a note in checkout that you read my blog, I will send an extra gift with your order :)

Amazing Recycled Vintage

I discovered a talented designer on Etsy.com a while ago and wanted to share with the rest of you vintage junkies :)

She is http://www.louiseblack.etsy.com/

She utilizes antique and vintage pieces in her clothing and jewelry but the piece de resistance is her handmade corset. So popular they have been on Etsy, she was overwelmed with orders!

Check out her work and add her to your favourites, as it is well worth checking back often to see her listings.

Too Long a Break...

Well, I admit, I kind of forgot about blogging for a while...

Stuff happened, good and bad, that kept me from my online experience.

Now I am back and have some tasty little posts planned for your eyes only!

So let me take this opportunity to announce a Spring collection now online on the website...Many new pieces, especially romantic and feminine earrings as well as necklaces.

Go check it out!

Also...Plans for 2 new Summer collections to be unveiled soon!

One with vintage plastic birds in fun pastel colors called Chirp Chirp, the other a glitzy gold array of vintage recycled pieces called Glamourously Gilded...

Have fun with the first flirty fun days of Spring :)

Vandalised Vintage

These are a long time favourite of mine...just the right mix of vintage love and irreverance!

Recycled vintage plates are embellished with heat fused ceramic paint in naughtly words, biblical saying or in kooky portraits of the famous... Custom orders are also accepted so imagine what a cool gift this would make for your computer nerd or fashion victim friend!
