Thanks to my dear friend Tiffany, several FABULOUS ladies of Louisiana have been introduced to Jennifer Robbins – designs. They, in turn, have re-introduced me to COLOR! I guess being a funeral director has lead me to play it safe with muted, dark, simple colors. These ladies have reminded me that jewelry can, and should, be vibrant and fun! Here are some of my latest designs, completely inspired by some pretty funky divas!

I found an interesting bead…

Since there was no description on the packaging, I had no idea that a new bead I was using was about to give me a surprise. I made two new designs using a beautiful gray translucent bead, which I felt paired nicely with black, silver and moonstone. The next morning, I opened my bead box and discovered the bead was now mauve! I had no idea it was a MOOD BEAD! I am liking it even more now! Here are the two new designs utilizing the bead; see the insert for the mauve color change!

I completed my mother’s set this evening, so please allow me to introduce, “The Joyce”

And perhaps something special to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, or even an August birthday?

Is your little girl growing up?

In case a necklace will not work with her dress neckline, how about a bracelet instead? Perfect for any special religious occasion!

And something special for mommy as well? Simple, yet elegant. A perfect gift for a Godmother!Enjoy the snow kids!

Something special for First Holy Communion!

dali12176 — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:18:05 +0000

Are you looking for a special gift for your little girl as she receives the sacrament of First Holy Communion? It would be an honor for me to custom design a beautiful bracelet or necklace to mark the special occasion! This design is named for it’s first recipient, “McKenzie”. It is a special gift from her mommy Carolyn, to wear with her beautiful Communion dress. I also created another bracelet that is just perfect for the little girl that loves to be “pretty in pink”. Enjoy the beautiful weather today everyone!

Something special to wear with her Easter/Spring best…

Do you have something special planned for this Easter or spring? I have designed pastel baby/child bracelets, perfect for the upcoming season and holiday.

Prefer more white? I used white opalescent beads that are larger than the Swarovski crystals, along with shimmering silver spacers.

Prefer more color? I used white pearls that are smaller than the Swarovski crystals, along with clear spacers.

Introducing – the ID Lanyard!

Complete credit for this idea belongs to my dear friend Audra. She asked if I could make her ID badge more “stylish”. I said I would do my best! ID lanyards can be made in any style/color scheme you wish.

So please allow me to introduce…
