Purple Bridesmaid
Ok, not that she's purple, but her jewelry is. I finally managed to complete the single largest order I've ever received. And it only took me like two months. 
(Hey, in my defense, they were out of stock of a key crystal for almost a month. And in more defense, I had to make each of the eight necklaces unique. Which was actually pretty damned challenging.)
The order, in total was
eight Swarovski crystal necklaces, 16" each, all different, all featuring the really expensive cube cut of crystal PLUS
eight additional pairs of earrings which I made as four unique styles, two pairs of each.
It was a huge undertaking.
They're going to be gifts for bridesmaids and I tell you, she got an
awesome deal on it. It took way more time than I would have believed possible to make them. Something about that large of a project, with that many unique patterns that all needed to be complimentary to each other and yet different...I don't know. It was just hard. If I were to do it again, I'd charge much more. Heh.
Anyway though, I did like how, in the end, they all came out so I thought I'd share the artsy photo of all eight necklaces together. They're going to get packaged up and shipped off this week and it's like giving up a child. I tell you, a labor of love went into them. (All the more reason I
really hope she and her bridesmaids love them.)
Whew. Happy that's done. Now onto the next bridesmaid order. (Which, at the moment is only one necklace and pair of earrings, but which, if she likes will be two more of each.) Glutton for punishment I am, you too can get something from
PhoenixFire Designs ...OR.... (and here's the punishment part), I too can take your custom order from an idea into reality. Just like this was. Feel free to let me know. (And don't forget about Mom for Mother's Day or jewelry for
Prom!)
