Kyla and I had an amazing time checking what is new in stones, how they have changed the cuts of stones, and how it will look with silver, gold or copper beads. It is an interesting process to find a stone with a unique shape/cut and pair it with metal beads/spacers. The creative process kicks in and our ideas for creating a unique one-of-a-kind piece for Beads in a Box is born. Then to find a vendor who has a variety of stone bracelets in a new and difference cut called fingernail and we were "off to the races". We picked bracelets made of rose quartz, turquoise, onyx, picture jasper, moss agate, to name a few. These bracelets are heirloom quality and will make a fashion statement for decades. Love them! We will share a photo or two.
The trip allows time to discuss what we are doing; what we need to do; what can change; and where do we want to be this time next year. Our ideas and plans drive what we look for and purchase. Over the last couple of years we have developed a line called "Something For Everyone" or www.sfejewelry.com. We developed relationships with several vendors to purchase pre-made fashion jewelry. SFEJewelry expands our price points, provides more variety, and changes with fashion trends. Our Beads in a Box one-of-a-kind heirloom hand designed jewelry spans the years and trends. While we were in Tucson we kept in mind both lines. We looked for the new stones and discovered new vendors for SFE.
More later, have a creative day, hugs, Karen
