AW Jewelry Designs is my friend Alyssa's Etsy shop. Alyssa creates all of her jewelry by hand and it is amazing! Her designs are classy and her taste is impeccable. She shapes, hammers and solders all different types of wire and metal. In addition to the amazing metal work she uses gorgeous beads, Swarovski crystals and semi precious stones in her designs. I am in awe that she makes all these necklaces, earrings, pendants and rings by hand!
Here is just a sample of her work.
Romantic Ruby Paisley Necklace
Antique silver metal Circles On a Chain
Turquoise Necklace With Copper and Brass Pendant
Asymmetrical Bright Yellow and Gray Necklace
Coppery Red Pearl Cluster Ring

ReplyDeleteAwesome Post!
ReplyDeleteRomantic Ruby Paisley Necklace is lovely.
Most people, whether they wear jewelry or not, are familiar with pearl jewelry. Plenty of jewelry designers think about this as an interesting and incidentally lucrative hobby. Working with beads can be a really great way for someone interested in arts and crafts to spend their time. Not only can it turn into a passion, but it even turned into a lucrative business opportunity. Bead jewelry designs are used for many things such as decoration for clothing and shoes, as well as for, decorative jewelry. Even Silver Jewelry is a well-liked and accepted ornamental fashion these days.
I like the Turquoise Necklace but I really need dome simple silver earrings so I really like the Black Rutilated Quartz Earrings.
ReplyDeleteOooo I really like the circles on the chain!! so unique!! and rockstar!!
ReplyDeleteThe Fiesta earrings are my favorite. I like the turquoise and red earrings too. Your friend is very talented.
ReplyDeleteI love all of Alyssa's jewelry and am privileged enough to own a few pieces! I'd love to get a few more things. Right now I'm coveting the business card holder and the Simple Copper V Earrings. I'd be so excited to win this gift certificate!
