A Holiday-Inspired {{Beaded Cuff Collection}}

Back to another fun bracelet from the {[Beaded Cuff Collection}}! This one is a super fun cuff in the most perfect holiday colors...Red, Black, and Silver.

This one was an order for a fantastic repeat customer! She wanted more! LOOOOVE!

This cuff features the ultimate Holiday color combination....reds, silvers, and blacks. This cuff will compliment just about anything Holiday!

My customer is now the proud owner of three {{Beaded Cuffs}}! ♥

Dazzling on the wrist.. :-)

Such a pretty combo!

It also features a 2-inch extender chain to make it nice and wearable on a variety of wrists.

Pair it with the LBD....little black dress....and you've got yourself a fantastic {{Statement}} for your wrist!

Pictures of my Cuff :-)

My husband often assumes the role of "photographer" when it comes to my jewelry business, and last night he decided to snap a few pictures of me with my beloved new cuff. Yes, the one that I am not selling because I made it perfectly sized to my wrist and incorporated my {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} colors, of course!

So, enjoy! And pardon the lack of hair and makeup. I'm not ALWAYS fully dressed and ready....trust me! ;-)

 My husband told me to pretend I was "deep in thought". By the way, I am not an actress.

Alrighty that's enough for now. Gotta go and get my 40-miler bike ride in before the kiddos wake up. ;-)

Next Up....{{Beaded Cuffs} with Glass Seed Beads

Next up....glass seed bead cuffs!

Last night, I experimented with my trusty supply of glass seed beads. This bracelet is made of multiple strands of glass seed beads, woven together to make one outstanding {{Beaded Cuff}}!!

For this cuff, I decided to string together 12 different strands of shiny little seed beads. I used three different "main" colors.....browns, whites, and greens....and then used some varying shades within each group.

The "browns" include chocolate brown, bronze, and copper. The "greens" include forest green and teal blue. And the "whites" include creamy ivory and shiny clear.

When braided together, this color combo really goes well together!

And true to my {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} style, I decided to experiment with some flowers on my cuffs! The photographs don't do these justice, but in person, the cuff and matching flowers look SO FUN and SO unique together!

The flowers are totally adjustable and removable, so you can place them wherever your heart desires. I'm totally in love with this cuff!

More {{Beaded Cuff Collection}}! Pink, Black, and Creamy Ivory...

Another {{Beaded Cuff}}!! This time, I just had to use my all-time favorite colors...rosy pink, black, and creamy white! Perhaps it's no surprise that my entire {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} business theme is done in these colors? ;-)

Although these earrings didn't really photograph well, I made some coordinating Pink and White pearl dangle earrings with super sparkly pink and white crystal beads! I used the same beads in the bracelet, but these pictures do NOT capture the sparkle.

The earrings are super lightweight and super comfortable to wear! Although I'm not an earring expert (YET! Give me time!), I thought these weren't too shabby... :-)

And because I LOOOVE to make a {{statement}} with my jewelry, I added some coordinating and stackable pearl toggle bracelets to really add that {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} WOW factor!

Pair all these with a fitted black turtleneck, a light pink scarf, some skinny jeans and fabulous black boots...and you are good to go! Even to the grocery store. Not that I will admit to dressing up to go grocery shopping.... ;-)

Well, maybe I will admit it.

Maybe.

I'm newly obsessed with cuffs. I want to make like 500 in different color combos.

My husband thinks I should start taking pictures of my outfits for the day to demonstrate how I coordinate all my accessories together. I looooove creating new outfits each morning by simply switching up my accessories.

I wear a lot of solid color clothing, which mostly consists of tried-and-true staples like tank tops, cardigans, fitted t-shirts, simple fitted sweaters, and lots of leggings and fun boots. But you can really pump up your own personal style with accessories! I switch mine up all the time...sometimes multiple times per day, since I'm a little obsessive....but I promise that fun accessories can make the exact same outfit look entirely different each time you wear it.

Enjoy! All my cuffs will be up on Etsy soon!

Time to Officially Introduce... {{The Beaded Cuff Collection}}!

Introducing....{{The Beaded Cuff Collection}}!

Time to explore some new horizons into the land of eye-catching cuffs! It's the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe. :-)

Between this past Thursday and Friday, I literally spent 16 hours experimenting with these cuffs and trying to figure out the best way to make them.

Since I'm entirely self-taught, I often find the "design" process the most fun. I LOOOOVE figuring out how to make something all on my own. It's a weird little personal victory every time I figure out a new design! ;-)

If something wasn't "laying" right or "braiding" right, it threw off the whole look. So it was a lot of hard work for figuring out how to do this one little bracelet, but it was SOOOO worth it! My husband calls me the "Jewelry Engineer" since I take things apart so much, and will willingly put it back together 800 times before I'm satisfied.... ;-)

I'm pretty sure these cuffs are a lot harder to make than necklaces, because they are so carefully braided and soo much shorter than necklaces, thus there is LITTLE room for error.

And for me, perfection is not optional and "good enough" is not even a choice. I will take something apart 100 times until I get it right. :-)

Confession: I already took apart the bracelets I made earlier this week (as seen HERE) because they were NOT good enough for my standards. I was starring at them all week long and thinking to myself "I can do better". Bwhaaa ha ha! :-)

Beaded Cuffs

Even though I've focused mostly on "statement" necklaces thus far, even *I* tend to prefer bracelets and earrings once the cooler weather hits. When our necklines get higher and our coats begin to take over our wardrobes, necklaces often tend to either get covered up...or....sadly, not worn at all.

Personally, I LOVE wearing big earrings, lots of bracelets, and funky scarves all winter long! Even from when I was a teenager, I've always defaulted to statement necklaces in warmer weather, and then statement bracelets and/or earrings in the cooler weather. I love variety, so what better way to mix it up than with fun accessories!

I've been dabbling in bracelets and earrings for awhile now, but I haven't posted many pictures due to my internal perfectionist telling me "not yet...you can do better!". But it's cold out! And I've been sporting my big bracelets and earrings around town for awhile now, so maybe it's time to post a few sneak peaks. :-)

Let's continue the journey into the land of bracelets and earrings with some pink stones, pearls, and sparkle accents....
