Etsy Treasuries and New Jewellery Designs by Euphena Beaded Jewellery

I have an Etsy shop where I sell my handmade jewellery, however I've never attempted to create a platform used by many etsy shop owners which is a treasury. Let me describe what it is.

Treasuries are  collages of  handmade items curated by etsy shop owners,  usually using a theme or colour palette. You're required to create the collage using the photos from members of  your Etsy Team (that is if you are part of a team) or individuals who have shop itenary which you love and admire.

I was reluctant to  create a treasury as I  thougt it was complicated....... until,my lovely work colleague Noami C Robinson of Nyha cards sat down with me and gave a few moments of her valuable time to create one . Well I was blown away,  I couldn't believe how easy it was  and that evening I created my first Treasury and loved it.

The lovely thing about these treasuries are  that they are interactive and if you like the jewellery item you can click on it and it will take you to the landing page.

Having enjoyed creating my first treasury, I attempted a second one, this time with an orange and tangarine jewellery colour theme. I love it and I'm slowly getting addicted

I Love Designing Earrings - Here is My Collection

I love designing earrings and for the past few weeks, I've been creating a collection using swarovski crystals, pewter, silver plating, gold plating and plastic. I truely love my designs and would now like to move onto my next project and work with gold and silver.

My customers often ask when I'm going to start to create jewellery with gold and silver, as they tell me that would like certain designs I create to be produced using these materials. Below are some the designs which my customers love.

Upcycled Gold Toned Swirl and Light Grey Bead Earrings


The earrings above won the design of the week by Fire Moutains Gems and Beads, I'm so honoured that they won, as all the previous winners have designed some gorgeous jewellery.




Blue Swarvoski Crystal and Pewter Drop Earrings


These blue swarovski crystal earrings, has received a lot of interest from my customers. The earrings were created with a pewter beads and a  pewter flower bead. I'm so proud of this jewellery piece, it, looks so regal. My final design is a brown swarovski crystal and gold jump ring earring. I  wanted to try something different with jump rings, so I experimented a little and the final design turned out beautiful.

My jewellery can be purchased on my jewellery etsy website, www.etsy.com/shop/Euphena, please feel free to purchase any of my one of a kind pieces, I love making beautiful jewellery for women. I want women to feel and look beautiful when they wear my designs.

Do You Mind If I Share Some Of My Latest Beaded Jewellery Designs With You?

Well it's been a while since I've last blogged, but I've been busy working on my other passion in life which is dance. I now  feel energised  and inspired to share my new designs and I love them. To start, I wanted to try something new and created my first ring. I'm so happy with how it turned out and would now like to use unusual materials such as buttons  for future ring designs.

Butterfly Swarovski Crystal Encrusted Ring.
My second attempt in ring design involved using beads, and the cocktail ring below features light brown and white beads, I'm in love with this design and think it's absolutely gorgeous. I'm now thinking of using swarovski crystals to create more rings. The feedback from  friends is very exciting and I already have a custom order from a close friend.


Light Brown and White Bead Cocktail Ring

Today I created two jewellery pieces, an upcycled necklace created from an  large drop earring and a stretch bracelet. Upcycling is my passion  as it always gets my creative juices flowing. The reason I created the neckalce was because I couldn't find the other earring, however the finished piece looks really nice.

Moroccan Style Pendant Upcycled Necklace
The overall look has a Moroccan feel. I would like to attempt to make another  upcycled necklace, as I like combining different beads to finish off the design and give it a striking look.

My final creation is the lovely stretch bracelet using turquoise swarovski crystals, pewter spacer rondelles and metal lustre beads. I absolutely adore this bracelet. I really think it'll be an excellent fashion accessory for a woman who's going out for the evening and wishes to finish off her outfit with a sophiticated piece of jewellery.
Let me know your thoughts on my jewellery designs. As always I'm happy to create custom orders. Quite recently I've been upcycling jewellery for clients and friends, I will be sharing the designs in my next blog post. If you wish me to upcycle your broken jewellery,please drop me a line at euphenabeadedjewellery@hotmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Upcycle Jewellery - Hairpin Necklaces and Earrings

I like to use unusual materials to create beautiful jewellery and I'm happy to share my upcycle jewellery collection. I'm very proud of these designs and took the time to model one of jewellery sets (please see picture below)
Bronze and Gold Coloured Hairpin Necklace with Matching Earrings Modelled by Jennifer Quamina

I shared the design on one of my jewellery facbook groups and the reaction has been incredible, everyone loved it, I've also received requests for instructions, so that group members can make their own designs.

The picture below is my first attempt in creating a hairpin necklace and since writing this blog, I've sold the piece and re-created a dulpicate. The hairpins were purchased from a local retail store in the hair accessories department.
Silver and Bronze Coloured Hairpin Bead Necklace.
The pins come in packs of 50 in two shades namely silver  and bronze which contrast beautifully.

My personal jewellery set was created with bronze and gold coloured hairpins, many of friends have commented that the design has a egyptian look to the design and I have to say I agree with them.

I wanted to extend the jewellery collection and added beads to a third necklace I designed, I think the beads look so sophiscated and sit very well with the hairpins, they almost look regal



To finish off the collection I designed a pair of hairpin earrings. In the ring section I added a white swarovski crystal to complete the overall design. I'm very happy with these designs and it has spurred me on to hunt for other unusual materials to create more upcycle jewellery.

Inspired to Create Beautiful Beaded Jewellery for Women

This week I took the opportunity to design some beautiful earrings. I love using swarvoski crystals, they give a luxurious feel to a jewellery design. The purple earrings below were created with lavender rondelle swarvoski crystals with silver beads and silver plated and white crystal rondelles.

Lavender Swarvoski Crystal Drop Earrings


The earrings would suit women who love luxury jewellery accessories and I know these earrings will finish off any outifit. This is a one of kind design, as I want all my jewellery to be exclusive to my customer.

I absolutely take pride in my jewellery making and attention to detail is very important to me. I always want to  update my jewellery making skills, so I've booked  myself on  a course at the London Jewellery School. I'm very excited to be going there.
