Introducing My Latest Designs

The Olivia Collection...

The Olivia Collection, a necklace, bracelet, and earrings set, was created on the day my little pug, Olivia, was at the vets having a tumor removed. I was so worried about her that I decided to set down and create something in her honor and this is what I came up with.

I was very pleased with how this set turned out. It is very special to me. My pug is doing fine, however, we did find out that the tumor that removed was cancerous. The good news is we caught it in an early stage and she has a really good chance of beating it. We love her and know she will be find. Below is a photo so you can get an idea of what a wonderful girl she is and why I think she is so prescious.

Another thing special about this set is the reaction my father had when he saw it. He was really impress by it, which is an huge compliment. Infact, he liked it so much that he decided to purchase it, so, I had to make another set!

The Sarah Collection...

Because I have decided to focus on wedding jewelry, alot of my new work includes working with pearls. The Sarah Collection includes a necklace, bracelet, and earrings and was made from cultured freshwater pearls, sterling silver filigree beads, and sterling silver findings.

The Sarah Collection was created one afternoon after I had received a new shipment of pearls and filigree beads. When I had almost completed it, my daughter came into the room and said, "I want that!", so I had to make another set. She really loved the set and I hope you do.

The Victoria Collection...

The Victoria Collection was inspired by my desire to work with swarovski crystals and my love for right angle weave, an off loom beadweaving technique.

The Victoria Collection includes a necklace, bracelet, and earrings. I hope you like it as much as I do.

As you have probably figured out from what I have shown you here, I have found that my favorite materials to work with include swarovski crystals and cultured freshwater pearls. I have also found that most of the pieces I am creating right now usually look better with silver. The Olivia Collection does have gold filled findings, however, as I thought gold look better with the golden shadow swarovski crystals.

I will be listing these collections on my new website gajlsbeadsnsuch.com, which is currently under construction. My plan is to have it up and running some time within the next week...cross your fingers and toes everyone! I am anxious to finish it so I can promote the heck out of it....yeah!

I really hope you enjoy my new work. I am so excited to show it to you. My next project seems to be taking a little longer to complete as I am currently in the middle of so many things...i.e., sick puppy, new website, entering a beading contest, etc...of course, I can always take on more...right?

Anyway....have a great day and...
