My blog features an eclectic mix of ever-changing jewelry pieces with quality and originality guaranteed. There is something for everyone’s tastes and budgets!

I spent the day cleaning and now I’am loving my space…that’s enough… right? lol. I was going to start a new sterling silver jewelry project, but it’s late and i’d rather blog a little and think this project through…I’m already looking at this smokey and lemon quartz briolettes and thinking of the fall colors, although I want something more springy…or just something new…right? I used to work for weeks on the same project…when i was done… i didn’t want any more big projects…just little things… i didn’t realize this was going to be so time consuming… and slightly difficult, but now it takes less than a day to complete one. I’m very excited with the clean cut and the AAA clarity of these smokey quartz briolettes I got from Thailand! It’s going to be fun working with them, and i have a good feeling! (i can’t show photos because i don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I will make a sterling silver necklace/earrings and maybe I will add some Austrian Swarovski crystal drops in a matching color…)

Hello! This time a little bit about me: My name is Nadine and I live in South Holland. I love anything and everything that involves lampwork beads, swarovski crystals, sterling silver, semiprecious gemstones and, of course, chainmaille (or chainmail/ chain maille/ chain mail)! My desire to make accessories started small and grew into something I love doing every single day, whenever I get the time. I would spend hours playing with sterling silver wire and putting  different shapes of gemstones together. This grew into designing necklaces, bracelets, pendants and earrings. My addiction grows every day, by investing in more and more materials. Thankfully, God has given me the support of my loving family, who continue to give me their opinion, whether good or bad. I would also like to thank you to all those who taught me various techniques and shared their knowledge online. Because of the knowledge and the encouragement I have been receiving, now I decided to sell my handcrafted jewelry. On this blog you can see the current work in progress and photos of my home studio. Combining so many beads, gemstones, with different wire wrapping techniques designing is limitless and fun!
