Opal Jewelry - Yummy Opal Bracelets !

Opal jewelry is making a major comeback and with the stunning, glowing Welo Opal I've found in shades of golds, blues, greens and browns at the gemshows lately l'm not surprised!

I've made several bracelets that I'm sharing.

This piece features gorgeous organic and earthy shades of browns and golds with flashes of red, gold and green. It is constructed with 24k gold vermeil (24k gold over sterling) Bali daisy spacers. Click on image for more info:



This gorgeous, glowing piece is a beautiful azure sea blue. Click on image for more info on this piece: (UPDATE: this piece is sold but can be recreated if you like). You can contact me through my LOVELY LUXE JEWELS store.

Wanna Checkout Some Really Bad Ass Designer Jewelry!? I'm Re-Visiting My Heirloom Line

I have been a jewelry designer for almost 30 years now.

Before Lovely Luxe Jewels came to be I had my own private heirloom collection of jewelry that did very well... being sold at several galleries and boutiques and most fondly remembered the St. Petersburg Fine Arts Museum. I also had pieces featured in several books and magazines.

I felt pretty happily successful as an artist *grin* but well, you know change is a universal constant! When the recession hit it certainly removed my rose colored glasses!

Over the last 5 years I had slowly revamped my line into a more accessible, streamlined, understated design (ie: more affordable) and it became Lovely Luxe Jewels.

Recently I have felt the pull to revisit my original line and have started designing my more bold statement pieces again. I wanted to show off a few of my favorite pieces I've created and sold over the years:




I will be listing new statement jewelry in a new section of my shop titled "Heirloom": Heirloom Pieces Cary Martin Designs.

In the mean time you can check out more of my sold gallery pieces. Click on image below to be forwarded to my gallery site:

Raw Gemstone Jewelry, Natural Diamond Jewelry

Today I am featuring one of my styles of raw, rough blue diamond gemstone bracelets.

I love this modern, organic style with uncut, natural diamonds and 99% pure silver beads around the sides.

This is wonderful as a stacking bracelet but I think it should be worn alone (or with another blue diamond piece!) so the gemstones are center stage.

Affordable luxury!

The Red Bracelet, Tiny, Delicate, Sexy, Slim.

These are the tiniest size crystals that Swarovski produces used in this red crystal bracelet. This one is done up in gold. I also wear mine with a tiny gold Swarovski beaded bracelet. (pictured below). Great stacking bracelets.

SEXY, DELICATE, SLIMLINE RED BRACELET

Red Ana Bracelet
STACKED WITH SEVERAL OTHERS INCLUDING GOLD SWAROVSKI

Delicate Gold Bracelet
SEXY, SLIMLINE SWAROVSKI GOLD STACKING BRACELET

I get more comments on this set than just about any other bracelet I make.

It’s a gorgeous, minimalist, Slimline Red Swarovski Crystal Bracelet.

All gold you see is 14K Gold filled including the clasp and crimp beads. I am very meticulous in my work and only use Tornado Crimps.

This is a bracelet you can wear and not take off very often. It is slim and small and hardly felt on your wrist at all. I have worn mine for weeks without taking it off.

It's so slim (even the tiny clasp and soldered closed gold filled jump ring) that you can rest your wrist on your desk and not even really feel the bracelet.

NOTE:
Pix don't do the Swarovski justice. This bracelet is very glittery. I guarantee you will love it.

You can choose 6 inch, 6.5 inch or 7 inch for this price.. for larger sizes please contact me at Lovely Luxe Jewels

Wear it to remind yourself to LOVE YOURSELF FOR ALL YOU ARE WORTH... Always.. forever...Seriously.
