CLICK AWAAAY....

Dear readers,

I just wanted to say thank you all so much for reading my blogs as I constantly send them through.

It make me very positive to see people taking a small interest in some things I put on here.

I encourage you to keep reading my updated blogs as I send them through, but most of all - I ask one very small favour, (if you haven't done this yet) could you please click on all the adverts that you see on my blog.  The reason for this is so that I can earn a small income (very small) on each click you make on each advert you see.
If you have done this for my blogs already, then sit back and just enjoy.
For those who haven't feel free to read and then CLICK AWAY maties.

Thank you so much for your support xxxx

Yes, this is me (Judith) once upon a time when I lived in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Different earrings altogether....

Dear jewellery lovers,

I got extra creative and made these two pairs of earrings to slightly match some of the pieces I had recently made.

Let me know what you think :) xxx

My new lovely SPIKEY ORANYIA....

Hiya dear jewellery lovers,

Here is another piece I had made.

I really wanted to make something different and just break all the rules of conventional jewellery.
So, I literally broke the wires.

This necklace took me a long time to make.  

This is a two strand necklace, and had to cut the one to add in the spikes.

It was a challenge but I love the outcome.

It's so different xx

Here is a close-up of the beads used.

Swarovski orange crytals, orange polished stone, peachy flat shell, silver spacers, 

and orange seed beads.

Then to add the finishing touch, an extension with a charm bead.

This has become a favourite of Valbies Jewellery, we love to add on a little charm 

to give a little accentuation on the piece.

Ladies, this will look good in any outfit.

If you find that your outfit isn't doing it enough for you, then add in a lovely piece of

jewellery like this, and you will change your look completely.

You'll look gorgeous, besides you deserve it!! xx

Marketing Your Jewellery...

Hiya jewellers and friends,

Just thought I would share some helpful advice on marketing your homemade jewellery that you wish to sell.

This comes from my own personal experience that I encountered today.

But over a while, it was suggested to me to join jewellery making forums and tell others about my range of beauties out there.  How amazing, it never occurred to me to do this :(
I did it, but never got really involved and felt very frustrated.

So today I plugged away and just read people's own experiences and advice, their replies and conversations.
Man, was I fascinated!
It truly is amazing what you can find out there.

Next minute I came across some websites (besides from Ebay) to sell your jewellery on, and then from those websites I found other websites to market my items for sale for people to see.  I managed to find twelve so far.  I have more to encounter.

I does take a lot of work, but who says anything happens easily.  And when it's your own business - you find you have more of a drive to get on with it.
The world is very big out there with the internet.

Enjoy! xxx

Up and Coming....

Hiya all,

Pinkalicious Necklace

Hiya all,

This is a beautiful necklace that I made yesterday.

I was thinking about this design for a couple of days, and got so frustrated because I really wanted to make it but just wasn't sure what to put together.
When that happens I just need to get on with it and start making the piece, because the more I get focused the more detailed it starts to create itself.  It's amazing, really!
That is why the jewellery I make is so precious, because it creates itself and it's designed to make you look fabulous and outstanding.
My jewellery aims to accessorize your outfit for the day.  If you want to draw people's attention away from a particular part of your body, then wear a piece of my jewellery and you'll see people starring more at your new necklace or bracelet than the 'I don't want you to notice that' area :) xx

But here is my piece.  It took me less than half an hour to make and is made with a rose quartz pendant.  The focus was on that authentic gemstone.  I have a beautiful collection of gemstones, and decided to use them and this was my first attempt.
It took me ages to wire wrap the pendant, but I finally got it.
Then I looked for glass beads and other gemstones to form the rest of the necklace.
I think the beads called each other together really :)

This is the only design I have, so if you choose to buy it - I haven't seen anything else like it around.  Ideally dark skin toned ladies (tanned, or natural dark skin) will accentuate this necklace beautifully.  Otherwise, you could wear it with a dark polo neck top to show case this beauty to your friends and family.

The necklace has an extension - so don't worry about being chocked to death - you can alter it to any length you want - but not too long :) x
