Intrroducing...The Fringe Bracelet Collection!

Introducing....the {{Fringe BRACELET}] Collection!

Due to the increasing popularity of my "Fringe Necklaces", and the frequent inquires about whether or not I make "Fringe Bracelets", it was time to debut this new collection! Let's start with my very first bracelet, as seen below!

These {{Fringe Bracelet Collection}} beauties are made with the same high quality glass beads, glass pearls, and crystals that my "Fringe Necklaces" are made with, but now they come fit for your wrist!

This first {[Fringe Bracelet}} shown here is made in beautiful shades of deep pink, rosy pink, light pink, and pearly white. It features literally hundreds of glass pearls, glass beads, and faceted crystal beads.

Each bracelet measures about 7 inches in length from end to clasp, but are entirely adjustable. They all feature a 2-inch extender clasp, and they are made with a super strong cable chain. The sturdy lobster clasp easily fits any of the chain links, therefore it's essentially adjustable the entire way around!

It's an incredibly sparkly, incredibly eye-catching party for your wrist!

And what {{jewelry by jessica theresa}} creation is complete without one of my signature flowers! This light pink flower features shimmery deep pink crystal beads in the middle, to perfectly accent the bracelet!

I take "wearable art" entirely to the next level with this {[Fringe Bracelet}}! I dare you to find a replica in a store!
Get yours today! 10% off custom orders during the month of December! :-)

More Fringe! More Fun!

I've already done two custom {{Fringe Collection}} necklaces this past week, and since it's so fun to work with an entirely different set of tools, I was super excited to get another custom order for a fabulous "Fringe" necklace! 

I'm totally on a {{Fringe Collection}} kick! Now that I have re-vamped my chain/clasp technique and added an extender chain to all my necklaces, this necklace can be SOOO versatile and fun! These necklaces are now adjustable up to 2 inches in length!

As delicate as my {{Fringe Colleciton}} necklaces may look, I can promise these beauties are incredibly sturdy. I'm obsessive about resiliency when it comes to my designs....thanks to my two fabulously energetic little boys....so they have given me wonderful training when it comes to durability!

Case in point....I let my 4-year old shake this necklace like crazy for a few seconds before I re-examined it and packaged it up. Nothing came loose and every "fringe" is super secure!

This {{Fringe Collection}} necklace is another custom order for a fabulous repeat customer. Its made with pretty shades of rosy pink, silver, light gray, and purple. So girly and SOOO striking together!

It features literally hundreds and hundreds of pearls and crystals. Over 1/3 of my Fringe necklaces are made of sparkly faceted crystals! They are so eye-catching in person,. Unfortunately, my camera....thanks to my amazingly awesome (not) point-n-click digital camera....simply cannot capture the amazing sparkle. 

Nowadays, I also coordinate each (removable) fabric flower to perfectly match the necklace itself, as I sew the middles of my flowers with the same beads I used in the necklace.

Hope she loves it!

Best. Winter. Color. Combo. EVER!

I'm drooling over the finished product of my most recent creation. Seriously drooling. I haven't done many custom orders with blues or whites lately, so I decided to do take a quick (um, if you count 8 hours as "quick", I guess?) break from custom orders for a day and make a {{Fringe Collection}} necklace exclusively for sale on Etsy!

And OK....I must admit....I got on a little {{Fringe Collection}} kick right after I made the pink/gold/chocolate Fringe necklace for my wonderful mama friend!! I had all of my supplies and tools out to make my Fringe necklaces, so I went to town and made another!

I am a very "seasonal" person...meaning, I tend to let myself get wrapped up in the festivities and colors that each new season brings. In other words, I love pretty pastels in the Spring, bright pinks and bright colors in the Summer, bold burgundies and golds in the Fall, and icy whites and blues in the Winter. Change is good! And it keeps life interesting!

So, I decided to go for an icy-wintery theme with this {{Fringe Collection}} necklace! I LOOOOOVE the look of the bright blues, bright whites, and shiny silver colors together. It just sings "winter" to me!

My Fringe necklaces usually take at LEAST 7-8 hours to complete, since I wrap each and every fringy "dangle" by hand. This particular necklace features various shades of navy blue, sky blue, and an opalescent blue to give it a tiny colorful twist. It also features bright bright whites and super shiny silvers and light grays. Together, this color combo is goooorgeous!

And of course, I accented this necklace with coordinating flowers, in shades of blue-gray and white. This necklace also has tons of crystals....over 1/3 of this necklace is made of them!

It's begging to go to a good home, as this beauty is going straight to Etsy!

Back to the {{Twisted Collection}}!

Now it's time to go back to the {{Twisted Collection}}! I love mixing it up when I do a batch of custom orders. It's always a personal goal of mine to tweak the design here and there to make it even BETTER than the last. The only way to improve is to recognize when something isn't working and then try something new, right?

This necklace is a custom order for another fabulous new customer. She loved the {[Twisted}} look, but didn't want to go QUITE as large as my {[Intricate Collection}} necklaces. So this is what we came up with!

She requested all sorts of purples. And I really think the final result sort of rocks! I wish I could keep it for myself! ;-)

The purples mixed with some silver accents look fantastic together. And since this necklace also has tons of sparkles, it really gives it that wintery-sparkly-icy look. It's PERFECT for winter.

It features various shades of purple, including deep plum, violet, a violet-blue, brilliant purple, lavender, and an almost fuchsia-purple to give it some amazing depth. And LOTS of sparkly crystals! Sheesh I wish my camera was better! I'm looking at this picture and just shaking my head...it doesn't at ALL do it justice. 

I think this {[Twisted Collection}} necklace turned out awesome! Hope she loves it!

Custom Order for a Purple {[Beaded Rope}} Beauty

I haven't done any {{Beaded Ropes}} in the past few weeks, so I'm super happy to be back at them! I have this custom order and another custom {{Beaded Rope}} to do within the next week alone! :-)


I have to say, coming up with the design for my Beaded Ropes took a LOT of "trial and error"....aka, a LOT of "wow that really sucks".....and a LOT of "Why am I spending all these hundreds of hours on this design when it still doesn't look right??". I really wanted to make something long and super versatile, but my MAIN goal was to make something completely different than anything you'd see in a store. I wanted multiple strands, fun chains, and amazing sparkle. And I cannot lie...I'm rather proud of my design! It's a lot of love and a lot of hard work behind these beaded ropes! :-)

This {{Beaded Rope Collection}} necklace is a custom order for a fabulous new customer. She loves purples and loved the beaded rope design, so she requested a necklace with all different shades of purple, mixed with different shades of silver.

And this is what I came up with!

It's hard to tell from my pictures, but it features various shades of purple, including plum, violet, lavender, deep purple, and a really awesome almost fuchsia-purple to give it a little depth. It also features various shades of silver and gray to really give it a fun look.

And of course, this necklace features TONS of crystals and a sprinkling of rhinestone beads. It really sparkles!

Celebrate the Holidays!

Just in time for the Holidays! A gorgeous Christmas red {[Classic Collection}} necklace! It's that time of year, where everyone is getting their invites to those yearly Holiday parties we all must attend. :-)


Five or ten years ago, whenever I received a party invite, the first thing that went through my head was "OMG what am I going to wear?". 


Now that I'm a mommy, the first thought that runs through my head whenever I receive a party invite....(umm, please let me preface this by saying, my hubby and I are definitely boring and not exactly popular, so party invites are always a shocker!)...is "OMG who is going to babysit??!?".


My my...how things have changed....

This classic necklace was so much fun to make. I even listened to cheesy Christmas music while designing it. Holiday inspiration at it's best.

It's ready to ship to a good home! I'm listing this one on Etsy!

It features 8 cascading strands of glass beads, crystals, glass seed beads, stones, stone chips, and pearls. Once again, my camera does not do this necklace any justice, because it's amazing in person! The faceted crystals really make it sparkle!

This beauty features all sorts of vibrant red tones, including ruby red, brick red, garnet, claret, metallic red, and some gorgeous orange-red large stones and stone chips.

A few bright red flowers with sparkly silver centers to give it my {jewelry by jessica theresa} signature!

I now put a 2-inch extender chain at the back of every necklace to make super versatile, depending on your outfit. :-) And I also love to add a cute crystal dangle charm at the end of the extender chain...to match the necklace and give it a fun detail.

It looks amazing against white, and it's guaranteed to be stunning with that Little Black Dress!

Go check it out at my Etsy shop! You KNOW you need something sparkly for the Holidays... ;-)

My Current Creation Obsession...

Next up.....


A necklace that has become my current obsession. I'm totally in love with it, and I'm silently crying inside that I have to package it up and send it off!!!

But it's going to be a fantastic gift that a loyal customer of mine will be giving to her niece! So that makes me happy. :-) I cannot wait to hear her reaction!

The pictures DO NOT do this necklace justice whatsoever. My husband's jaw dropped when he saw it in person this morning, because it just sparkles so much! And of course, you can't tell that in the picture. Booooo.

This necklace is a version of my {[Classic Collection}} - Option #3. It features 10 cascading strands of super shiny glass seed beads in gorgeous shades of pink, magenta, black, and graphite.


If {jewelry by jessica theresa} had an official jewelry "anthem"...this would be it. Tons of pink and black, tons of sparkle, and a big ol' WOWZER statement!

So, what is the appropriate action to take after making a necklace I love??? MAKE ANOTHER ONE!
And ANOTHER ONE! And that one is going on Etsy today. :-) Because I want nothing more than to spread the love!


As long as I have a replica for myself that is....
Just sayin' ;-)

I so wish the photos would show the sparkle....
Because it also features tons of faceted crystals!!

I know I say I'm in love with every creation I make (which is totally true), but I am in SUPER LOVE with this one!


Take good care of it, Shelly! ♥ ♥ ♥

A {Twist} from the {{Twisted Collection}}!

Time to switch gears from all the Beaded Cuffs I've been doing the past few days! I have another order of Beaded Cuffs to do this upcoming week, but this morning I decided to make a custom creation from my {[Twisted Collection}} for a fabulous repeat customer of mine. :-)

She requested a Twisted necklace in shades of silvers, grays, whites, and clears. Such a versatile combination!

It can be worn with just about anything. It has just enough sparkle to really shine for a night on the town.......

And it has just enough versatility to look absolutely fabulous for a simple trip to the grocery store! Because...why not!? :-)

Love the combination!

Custom orders are so much fun. I love seeing a customer's vision come to life within each of my designs!

Happy Sunday everyone!

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....
