Since April 10…

It’s been a busy month! And, I’ve been neglectful of my blog. What have I been doing?

LOTS of custom orders. So blessed to have been able to work with the lovely ladies on the other end of these designs.

A few new items for my shop

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays. Seriously, so many.

And all the while, LOVING all that spring brings…I’m so relieved that winter is over. It’s just been beautiful. I love this time of year!!!

And, last, but certainly not least, an exciting milestone. I reached 1,000 sales in my Etsy shop. I feel so proud and most of all, THANKFUL for my wonderful, amazing and supportive customers and fans. ”Thank you” doesn’t do justice to how grateful I feel. I’d love to give individual hugs to everyone!

This is one happy, happy jeweler : )

Shop Update

I didn’t even say Happy Valentine’s Day to you! Well, an embarrassingly belated Happy Valentine’s Day to you! I’ve been busy, busy in my studio working away on this shop update. I’m so excited to share! This is such a hard time of year for me because of the cold, dark, rain and gloom. But after a big ol’ sunny gem shopping trip and a studio full of colorful goodies, I’m always so inspired and I just have to create. There’s no stopping me – it’s a little obsessive, really. I’m learning to just let it happen and try not to confuse excitement with anxiety. When my head starts spinning and I feel overwhelmed because I’m literally not paying attention to anything else in my life, I am trying to learn to take a step back and remember that this is OK and temporary! It just means that I am so happy to be in the design process and I just want to SHARE with YOU! It’s excitement, not anxiety – I just have to keep saying that.

I thought about holding a few designs back to share later, but I just can’t. No use in fighting it! Here they ALL are…just click on them to be taken to the listing in my Etsy shop.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I’ve slowly been making some new things and had some new bling sitting around since before my fall and finally felt ready today to get all the goodies listed.

So, without further ado…

Cuffs + Happy Friday!

Erin Jane — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:20:06 +0000

I updated my shop yesterday with some super fun cuffs. Cute (and available) alone, but I think they belong together. Have a great weekend!

Sweet Ring…

Erin Jane — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:46:32 +0000

I made this sweet ring for a lovely customer and I just loved it, so it’s made its way to my shop!

It made me want to really get going on some more gold pieces. It’s really fun to work with and I just adore yellow gold. And, I would really, really like to start on some rose gold inventory. I started thinking about fall and winter pieces with deep and colorful stones I’ve been hoarding. And then, of course, today the price of gold hit a historic high. I’ve always had impeccable timing.

Have a great weekend!

Shop Update!

Erin Jane — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:33:42 +0000

I updated my shop yesterday with a few new goodies. I would have posted the update here yesterday, but oh boy, time got away from me and my eyes were going bonkers staring at a computer screen for WAY too long yesterday. So, I’ve recovered a bit and ready to share! Hope you enjoy!

It’s going to be a beautiful SUMMER weekend. I can’t wait! Sun, grilling, cocktails and the Capitol Hill Block Party for lots of good music. Fun, fun, fun! Hope you all have a great weekend too.

New Work & New Books

It’s been a very typical spring around here lately. Here’s how it goes…I get too excited that the sun might make an appearance so I start planting my vegetable garden and thinking I might be able to sit out on the deck in the sun and start enjoying the changing weather…and then it rains and rains and rains some more. And, never gets above 50. Just like every other day in any other month in Seattle. Groundhogs Day. 50 and rainy every day of the year. I haven’t seen the sun for more than a couple minutes since I was in Mexico. Yes, I am complaining, but it’s just not right not having the sun shine in your life!

So, indoors it is. But, it leaves me time to dive into the new jewelry technique books I just got. I’ve thumbed through these before and decided it was time to have copies of my own. Sooooo happy I finally did it! Here’s what I got:

- The Theory & Practice of Goldsmithing
- Creative Stone Setting
- Jewelry Concepts and Technology

Happy reading to me : )
