A {[Classic Collection}] Necklace...turned...{{Mommy and Me Collection}} Necklace!

Since I'm always drumming up new ideas in my head, I sort of tried something a little different with my next Custom Creation that I had on the docket earlier this week. And I must say, I'm in love!
This necklace is for a FABULOUS mommy friend, as she requested the traditional "Classic" design, made with more petite glass seed beads, pearls, and crystals!


She loves my signature {jewelry by jessica theresa} colors, so I took that super-amazing-color-combo if I do say do myself, and went to town! I added more strands and some extra magenta and fuchsia to give it a fun WOW factor with that extra punch of pink!


I have decided that I am making a replica of this for MYSELF! I love the look of the bazillion cascading strands of tiny seed beads!


The 10 strands of complimentary colors in the petite beads is a nice break from all the bigger glass beads I often work with.


Signature pink flowers can complete the look!


Each strand has several crystal beads interspersed throughout, so it's super sparkly in the light!


So, she loved it, and decided to make her {[Classic Collection}} necklace into a fabulous {{Mommy and Me Collection}} pair! The {Mommy} has 10 cascading strands of petite seed beads, pearls, and crystals in fabulous shades of light pink, metallic pink, fuchsia, gray, and a darker graphite gray.


The {Me} has 4 matching cascading strands of petite seed beads, pearls, and crystals to replica the {Mommy}!


Add a few signature {jewelry by jessica theresa} flowers to make it a feminine work of art!

Custom Order for a Purple {[Classic Collection}} Beauty

This past weekend, with the help of my FABULOUS husband, I finished 9 custom orders, totaling over 55 hours of work between Wednesday morning and Sunday night....

 ...and I must say, I LOVED EVERY SECOND! It's no surprise that I LOVE making jewelry, and now that my business is slowly but surely starting to pick up, I am on cloud nine. The momentum is rolling and I never want to stop! I can't wait to see what 10, 20, 30 years into the future brings. I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I can't help but daydream about a storefront? Something more? I have so many ideas in my head just waiting to come to fruition... :-) 
This one is a custom order for the {{Classic Collection}] - Option #3...with six cascading strands of beads, layered to lay beautifully across the chest. Although I'm dying to tag my lovely customer on my facebook page photos, since I love her color choices so much, it's a gift and I have to remain mum! ;-)

I adore doing custom orders, because it's always a personal challenge of mine to make sure the customer's vision comes to life. In addition, it's always my goal to exceed the customer's expectations! :-)

This lovely repeat customer requested a Classic Collection necklace in shades of purple, black, gray, silver, and clear!

A little purple flower can be the perfect added touch to make it extra feminine!

This particular {{Classic Collection}} design is my favorite necklace to make and wear. It's just so darn classic! And SUCH a statement. :-)

Love these colors together! It's going to a good home! And I can't wait until she sees it! ♥

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!

Another Day, Another Beauty!

It's been a popular week for the {{Beaded Cuff Collection}}! I'm in the middle of doing my 4th beaded cuff this week. What's pretty awesome is the fact that EVERY cuff has been an entirely different color combination! I love seeing new color combos together...especially when doing custom orders. It's inspiring for me, because oftentimes I find myself daydreaming about future creations using similar color combinations! Good stuff. :-) 


Once again, I was told not to reveal any information about the giver or recipient of this cuff, so my lips are sealed!

This cuff features a pretty combination of neutrals, including shiny gold, a bronzy-brown, and creamy ivory.

This cuff will go with so many different color combinations! Neutral tones are so perfect for the versatility. ♥

And of course, no cuff would be complete without a pretty {flower}. Thanks Apples Modern Art! :-)
This flower is a light gold to compliment the cuff, and is accented by ivory pearls in the middle.

And this cuff looks just as fun with a matching brown flower!

Or BOTH!! I love wearing my cuffs with 2 flowers. I love the look of the "corsage"...it's so stunning and different!

A little snapshot of the gold flower on my wrist. :)
And yes, for those who asked, that is indeed a wedding ring tattoo on my ring finger! ;-) It was me and my hubby Brandon Roth's anniversary gift to each other last year. :-)

You will not find this awesome-looking bracelet in stores. Trust me!

More {{Beaded Cuff Collection}} BLISS!

Today has been a "Jessica versus the World Wide Web" sort of day. I have spent hours upon hours battling my websites to update everything, make them super user-friendly, link everything together, switch around pictures, etc etc etc. Since I am NOT an expert in web design or HTML coding, this has proven to be quite the interesting journey. BUT! I think I'm doing ok...? 


Do me a favor and go click around my "official" website and my blog, okey dokey? I could really use some advice and feedback. 


           

In addition to all-things website design, I finished up another cuff last night! Here is the finished product: 

I was told NOT to reveal any information about the giver or recipient of this beauty, so my lips are sealed!

It's hard to tell from the photos, but this {{beaded cuff}} features pretty shades of plummy-purple, turquoise, teal, and graphite gray!

Again, I'm asking for a new camera for Christmas...it's the only thing on my list. So hopefully next year's pictures will be better?!?! Santa, I promise I've been good this year!!!

Twelve strands of shiny glass seed beads are braided together to form this fabulous cuff! It features a 2-inch extender chain and silver metal lobster clasp for easy wearing.

The pink cuff I am wearing now has 2 gorgeous Apples Modern Art flowers, so lately I've been decorating my cuffs with an extra flower to make a true statement and a beautiful work of wearable art!

The entire cuff is woven together securely and tightly to give it that stiff, sturdy look.

LOVE these flowers on this bracelet! I'm jealous of the recipient of this one! I may have to make a replica.

It's so hard to tell from my craptastic photos, but these colors look SO awesome together! Plum+gray+turquoise?? Yes please!

A perfect fall corsage for your wrist!

Thankful!

I'm feeling so incredibly thankful. I'm so proud of how far I've come with my jewelry business, and I'm SOOO THANKFUL for the support from everyone. I am totally not a "gushy" person in general, but I can't help myself.  I couldn't do this without my family, friends, customers, and fans.:-)

Business is starting to pick up the most wonderful way, and I am SO THRILLED! Right now as I look out my kitchen window, there is a crap-ton of snow on the ground, but I'm not sad about it, because I'm just so content, happy, and hopeful for the future. I've worked so hard, and I will continue to do so for years to come!

♥♥THANK YOU for being a part of my {jewelry by jessica theresa} journey. I can't wait to see what the future holds! ♥♥

I have sooo many pictures to upload and custom orders to show off, but for now, I will leave you with a cute picture of my son, Kellen. :-) 


And maybe a picture of our family, including my parents (on the left), me, my hubby, and kids (in the middle), and my brother, sister-in-law, and their two awesome kids (on the right).

Love, Jessica :-)
And maybe I'll add a little picture of me at my "creation station" for kicks...
