Follow Me As I Create a Custom Jewelry Set for a Maui Wedding ~ Part 4

Today is their wedding so, to celebrate, I'm unveiling the finished pieces!! Ready?

 

 

I'm happy to say that Julz was thrilled with her jewelry. I was honored to be the one she selected to make her wedding jewelry and had quite alot of fun doing it! And, in the process of emailing back and forth about her jewelry, Hawaii and a host of other things, we found out we have alot in common and have become friends!

Congratulations to Julz & Joe on this very special day! I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness ♥Aloha♥

And I hope you've all enjoyed following this project. I wanted to show you how easy it is to have jewelry custom designed for you ...whether you live around the corner from me or around the world. I hope I've succeeded and next time you want something  special I'd love to hear from you!

Ready to see photos? There were 2 steps of approvals for this project. The first included a photo of 4 possible earring designs and one of a section showing how I was planning to string the bracelet and necklace...

 

The next round of approvals came when the jewelry was almost finished to be sure she was pleased with everything and didn't want to make any changes.

the necklace...

She was thrilled with everything and gave me the ok to finish them up. So next time I'll have the photos of the finished pieces. And I think I'll reveal those in celebration of her wedding day... this Wednesday ♥ So be sure to check back :)

Hello!

Ready to see the spec sheets for the wedding jewelry? In addition to a lengthy email explaining my ideas, I sent these spec sheets with photos to make it easier for Julz to visualize her options and make her selections.

The first page shows the original bracelet and earrings that she saw labelled with my ideas for hers:

The second page has photos of some of her options for adding white beads into the design, each strung with four different colors of seed beads: 

The third page shows more seed bead choices, natural shells, clasp choices, earring style choices and a dolphin charm: 

The last page is a copy of the necklace design I sketched labelled and showing different design elements I thought of using:

We continued discussions by email to fine tune the design, more photos were sent when I found beads I thought she would like to use and once all was agreed on, I ordered the parts I didn't have in stock and started stringing the designs on temp wire to get her approval before starting the final product.

Next time I'll be showing you the photos that were sent for Julz's approval...

Hope you're enjoying following the process. Thanx for reading :)

Hi!

Since I specialize in custom orders, I thought you might find it interesting and helpful to follow me through a custom design project and see how easy it is to have me design jewelry for you. I just completed a wonderful project... a necklace, bracelet and earrings set for a wedding.

It all started when the bride-to-be... looking for dolphin jewelry for her upcoming wedding on Maui... found my "Dolphins Roaming the Ocean" bracelet and matching earrings and sent me an email.

We chatted by email about colors, beads and design elements... gathering all the info I needed to begin. I was excited about the project and ideas just flowed. Before I knew it I was sketching, stringing together samples and putting spec sheets together for her.

In my next post, I'll be showing you the spec sheets I put together..............

I hope you enjoy following this project :)
