Hand Stamped Initial Necklace

Last year I made some hand stamped sterling silver necklaces and I gave them to a few friends. I didn't have many pieces on hand but I've ordered some pieces because I decided to start selling them at my shop. It's been in the back of my mind and now that I've gotten more font stamps, I feel like I can offer more of a variety in my shop.

I have heart shaped pendants:

And I have disc sequins:

I wore my E pendant around today, it's my son's initial and birthstone month, August. It's light weight and I barely knew it was on me until my son made a grab for it!

Everything on the necklace is sterling silver except the silver plating around the round crystal and the wire for the bicone crystal drop. The birthstone crystals are all swarovski and they really add a pop to the pendant. It's so cute. I want to buy more crystal colors other than what I have for the birthstones because why not? The crystals are gorgeous! I really love these! They make great gifts for friends and family, plus it's quite affordable at only $20.00 each.

I'm also looking for sterling silver charms that can be added to the necklaces, so keep checking back at my shop!

Right now I have a coupon code for 25% off anything at my shop, Fanciful Wish. The code expires at the end of May, so don't forget to use it! The code is MAY2014.

Happy Shopping!

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry. I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal. Maybe it's stress relief? I bought my first kit from Beaducation . And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry. I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap. You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey. I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes. And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap. Alphabet set stamps can run you from $

Beaded Wire Hoop Earrings

I saw a bunch of these online a few months ago and decided to try and make some because I have many left over beads from various bracelet projects. I also LOVE hoop earrings. Plain hoops, silver or gold plated were my favorite accessory to wear and still would be if I didn't have a son who loves to pull jewelry off me. Ow. But I remember rocking hoops since I was in high school! A teacher of mine asked me if it hurt to wear them because I had these real big ones (she said a bird could make a nest in there...HA HA Ms. Kepner). Over the years I've had an obsession with hoops. Thin, thick, rhinestone, plain, large, small. My favorites are big thin hoops. I scoured the internet once more and found a bunch of sites with instructions on how to make wire hoops. I bought some wire and proceeded to make them. I didn't have hoops on hand so I made that part also. It's amazing what a tylenol pill bottle can be used for! Anyway, I tried different sizes and lo

What's New: Paparazzi Accessories

It's been awhile! Being a stay at home mom of two has really been something else. I thought I was busy with one, but with two, it's been on another level of madness. All of this busy-ness means I haven't had time really to work on my Etsy shop. It's still open but I've kept hammering metal to a minimum. So for now I took the jump into a new venture. I just signed up to be Paparazzi Accessories independent consultant. Yup...who knew, after making my own jewelry for $5 years that now I'm selling jewelry designed and manufactured someplace else. What is Paparazzi Accessories exactly? It's jewelry at the sweet price of $5 and that's hard to come by. The products are designed in the USA but manufactured in China. I own a bunch of their earrings - I'm a sucker for hoops, large and small. And I love their stuff! I call my shop Leylah's Jewels - which is a play/combo on my children's names. We'll see how things go, so far it&
