Cool Sweet Fun. Gold & Silver.

This charm bracelet was put together from a couple of charms that I had along with some fun things. Cool Sweet Fun is a blast of light blues, silver and pink. This collection includes a John Lewis cupcake filled budoir pillow, an Erika France bag charm, a colorful pump by Giuseppe Zanotti, Essie Luxeffects nail polish, 5 new spring/summer NARS polish collection, Harrods Hello Kitty loves Harrods grab bag and a TFNC one shoulder angel dress.

Plastic and polymer clay charms include Hello Kitty, a cupcake, a blue flower, a blue heart with white ribbon and a hot pink & yellow flower. You can find this fun bracelet for sale here on my Etsy site for more information and purchasing.



Lucky Number & Direction Inspired: Gold & Silver

The ideas never end! I love this custom charm bracelet I made for a special someone. The theme requested for this bracelet were based on her lucky colors of gold, silver and white, her lucky number 6, her lucky directions and association with yang. I love this style because of the mix of silver and gold with no other colors added. Set on a 8mm sterling silver chain. A bigger chain size than I usually use. I think I'm liking this look more!



Upcoming work

So I thought last month was busy for me but May is going to be even busier! I think I'm averaging at least 3 custom charm bracelets a month and not including what I make in between. Almost half way through my list of requests and also getting ready to be in a good friends wedding next weekend, but before that I will be heading to Savannah for the week along side a conference for my fiance's company. I recently had ANOTHER huge purchase from a buyer on Etsy buying FOUR of my charm bracelets! On top of doing special requests, I'm trying my best to also add more 'ready to buy' bracelets to my site. 

I've been so busy I didn't even realize that April marks the official 2 YEARS of JenLove♥ Jewelry! I'm very lucky to start at the time I did and keep the motivation going because I have been getting nothing but positive feedback on my jewelry and right now the popularity is awesome and not what I expected it to be at only 2 years. (truully amazziinng) I still daydream and brainstorm throughout the day when I'm not making jewelry on what my next step will be and how I can improve. I'm just thankful that I have my fans and customers who support my work and there's nothing I love doing more. More custom charm bracelets, bridal party jewelry and other surprises to come!

Ashley's Sweet and Vintage Bracelet

I don't even know how many JenLove♥ bracelets Ashley now has, but I wanted to make a style for her that was different from previous ones she had. I decided to go with a vintage style with pearls, flowers, lace and soft colors that any girl would love. Sterling silver charms include a swan, a shoe, heart and ballerina. I also included clusters of pearls and a pendants with a pink rose surrounded by lace in the background.

Busier Than Ever!

In the last 2 weeks I've sold 4 of my charm bracelets on Etsy. This is so encouraging and gives me such a boost of confidence! Not that I ever doubted my jewelry in the first place, but every sale I make gives me motivation to keep making better and inspiring pieces. Right now I have almost 10 requests for custom charm bracelets and still going back and forth with emails for possible new ones. I know I've said it before, but thank you to all the jewelry fans and friends who visit my site, purchase my items or simply visit daily just for some visual eye candy. I haven't posted on my blog in 2 weeks but I'm trying to keep up. Planning my wedding is taking a lot of my time but trust me- it won't slow me down!
