Upcoming Wedding

Well, I haven't written too much and I haven't had a ton of time to even make a lot of new pieces. I am getting married on August 1st, and there is still so much to do that I feel like it's never going to get finished in time. I'll post a separate blog on that fiasco later!

I did make this bracelet and called it "Something Blue". I thought that I might wear it on my own wedding day. I still might, I am not sure. Nevertheless the bracelet is beautiful, and I think anyone would be happy to own it. It is made of the same great quality materials that I always use; Swarovski Crystal and Freshwater pearls along with Bali and Sterling silvers. Keep in mind that this bracelet, should you want one for yourself, can be customized with any color pearl, and various colors of crystal in these graphite and butterfly shapes.



I did have some time a few weeks ago to complete some new pieces with beads that I had waiting to be used. The photographs aren't the best, as I have procrastinated on purchasing a really good lighting system. I don't seem to be very good at juggling being a mommy of 2, a wife-to-be, a poker player, and jewelry maker all at the same time. I'll get it together one of these days. It's a goal of mine! Anyway here is a piece from the "Breakfast at Bella's" collection that I had started. In this collection I used handmade glass beads from Laurie Whitney of Mermaid Glass. Here is one of the newer pieces. It is a Cupcake and Doughnut set and it's accented with Swarovski crystal bicone beads and sterling silver. The chain was cut and assembled by me so the length is completely customizable.





The next piece is something I just love, although the picture surely own reflect it's beauty. This I call the "Grand Slam". It is a very solid sterling silver rolo bracelet with toggle clasp, and on it several delicious charms accented in sterling silver and Hill Tribes silver dangle delicately, and just tempt your taste buds! You'll find a complete breakfast of bacon and eggs along with a short stack of syrup smothered pancakes.

Started as a hobby, Isabella's Beads is owned and operated by me, Mariealena Calabrese.

I started Isabella's Beads with the hope that when she grows older she will have a successful, reputable business for herself. One thing I pride myself on is the fact that I am committed to outstanding customer service. 100% satisfaction is guaranteed! I hope you enjoy your jewelry as much as I enjoy making it.
