New Spring Inspiration for Jewelry


My newest addition to my jewelry collection is my Spring Collection. It includes both silver and gold expandable bangles, each adorned with two pastel lucite flowers and a butterfly charm.

Over the past few weeks, I did a Facebook poll on what things remind my followers of spring. I took all of these suggestions into account and tallied my responses. A few of the answers that I’ve gotten included bees, rain, flowers, grass, and alas…butterflies.  Butterflies took the cake by a long shot. I secretly hoped that someone would mention birds but when no one did, I knew that bird-related bracelets were not going to be a popular item in my shop.

And so the ordering and creating began. I was excited to see that there were so many flower options on the web to choose from! I settled on a pretty simple 5-petal flower and decided that head pins would provide a more secure hold than jump rings. Man, they are hard to twist when the charms and bangle itself get in the way! Whew!

Within a few days (I think two) of posting them on my shop, I’ve received a lot of Etsy “favorites” and included in three treasuries. To me, that’s a big deal. Treasury inclusions happen in spurts, and I was overjoyed to get the notifications and the results afterward. No sales, but every view still makes me happy.

Here is a link to one of my gold/silver spring flower bracelets:
