FREE GIFT WINNER - OCTOBER 2010

Filed under: Handmade Jewelry, Holiday Jewelry, Uncategorized

It has been a while since I’ve actually taken the time to post the names of the free gift winners. Believe it or not, there is one every month. It’s my way of doing some inexpensive advertising while making people happy at the same time

This month’s free gift winner is Natalia Korobeinikova. She is the recipient of a beautiful Criss Cross jeweled hair accessory. The Criss Cross jeweled hair clip is decorated with rhinestones in shades of green and AB coated clear stones. A lovely accessory for any up-do or long hair.

If you are already a member of Isabella’s Beads then you are automatically registered to win. Others who choose not to create an account can register to win HERE.

I’ve made a few halloween pieces, but chose to sell them privately since I got started so late. I have been busy trying to organize the newly added 6000 products on my website. It’ll be an ongoing process, but since I am doing it myself it’ll take a little while longer than I expected. I do have many items already listed for Fall though, including these simple yet stunning Baltic Amber and Sterling Silver earrings.

I will have time to make plenty of items in time for the Christmas Holiday and winter season, and you’ll be able to find all that and more in our Holiday Items section of the site. There are many items there now including this adorable seasonal bracelet that is on sale now. Order yours today just in time for the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays!

6000 NEW PRODUCTS ADDED!

Filed under: Handmade Jewelry, Uncategorized

6000 NEW PRODUCTS! I’ve been saying that I had some new and exciting things planned, and with the arrival of September, I promise not to disappoint you. There are so many things happening right now it would be too lengthy to list them all, but I am happy to announce some of the new major changes to my web site.

In the beginning, I planned on only offering hand made items made by me, and items made by some very talented guest artists whom I have been featuring since 2008. I also offered a few manufactured items to hit a lower price point just so that I was able to offer something to everyone that visited my store. All along I have known that there is so much out there offer in the world of jewelry, but I had found it difficult to find my niche in the industry, until now.

I am known primarily as a “beader” in the jewelry world. I use precious metals, Freshwater pearls, semi-precious stones and genuine gemstones, only the best Swarovski Crystal and hand made glass beads among other things in my designs. I do not make the CZ findings myself, although I use them in my designs. I do not use art clay, YET, although I do own a kiln. I do not make chain maille at this time. However, these are all of the things, and more, that I want to be able to offer my customers. So, with that being said, I would like to happily announce the unveiling of my new and improved web site complete with an ever-changing slide show of new items on the Home page, and over 6000 NEW ITEMS added to my store.

I love Authentic Murano glass. I can now offer you the designs of Alan K who only uses Genuine Murano glass from Italy in his designs. I have a brand new Men’s collection that I am SUPER EXCITED about, as I have been anticipating it for quite some time. I make some of the items, and some are high quality manufactured items made with Sterling silver, 14K gold, and contemporary materials such as Stainless Steel, Titanium, and Tungsten. I promise there is something for everyone, and you won’t be disappointed!

The Bridal collection is now complete. There are so many items from which to choose. I make many of them myself, and those that are made primarily of metals with CZ are high quality manufactured items.

The new Body Jewelry Collection is here, and is still expanding. I can now offer ear cuffs, naval rings, nose rings and studs, with more coming soon! The Religious Collection has also started and is also still expanding. Right now I am working on crystal, wood beads, and precious metal rosaries for Men, Women, and children.

Lastly, I am very excited to offer Story Bead Jewelry. These bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are similar to Pandora, Troll, etc., but are a fraction of the price. The materials are the same high quality materials used in making the competitor’s beads. I am able to offer them at a lower cost for 3 reasons:

1.   I buy direct from the manufacturer

2.   You pay for the name whenever you buy anything “designer”.

3.   And more so because my profit margin is much lower than that of a retail store.

Home shows. I have been preparing to start home shows in the Philadelphia and South Jersey area starting in September. I want to have an amazing display so I am taking a little longer than I had hoped, but I am almost complete. I look forward to unveiling all of this to you and more in the coming months.

As with my old policy, I stand behind everything I offer 100%. If you are not satisfied with any purchase, handmade or otherwise, you will receive a full refund. Please see the refunds section for complete details. For your shopping convenience we accept all major credit cards, money orders, and cashier’s checks. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Don’t forget, my passion is still creating custom one-of-a-kind items specifically for you. So if there is something that you’d like but don’t see in my store, I’ll be happy to make it for you.

Thanks for reading!
