New Bridal Collection – Blossom

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

I’m constantly creating new products for Wedding And Gems, sometimes I’m inspired to create a new tiara or a pair of earrings. This time however the crystal tiara I created inspired me to create an entire new bridal collection – The Blossom Bridal Collection.

The Blossom Bridal Collection is created solely from Swarovski crystals in either clear or clear AB on silver or gold coloured wire. The waved effect of the wire gives the Blossom Bridal Collection a romantic and soft feel.

The wedding tiara, crystal hair pin and bridal earrings all have a metal base where as the Blossom necklace and bracelet are created on invisible wire so dance along the skin.

The Blossom Wedding Hair Pin is great for brides or bridesmaid who want to add a little sparkle to their hair and can be used again and again making it excellent value for money.

For those brides who still like to wear the traditional wedding head wear, a tiara, the Blossom Wedding Tiara is light and comfortable to wear because of its handmade base. The waves of the wire add detail and texture topped with Swarovski crystal for the ultimate sparkle.

Wedding Headbands

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

There’s a big trend for Wedding Headbands at the moment, I’m not sure whether this is because they are very easy to wear, just slip them on and off you go, or because headbands in general are back in fashion.  But the collection of Wedding Headbands at Wedding And Gems is growing so I though they deserved their own category and it makes them easier for you to find too.

I think one of the big advantages of having a headband over a tiara is that they are a number of ways to wear it, it can be worn with the hair down or up, a headband can be pined into place and used as a bun wrap or can be worn as a tiara.

What prompted this blog post was the creation of the Jet Wedding Headband which you can see below.

You can see from the image that this wedding headband is very simple yet striking in design.  For most brides black may seem like an odd colour to have in a bridal accessories but you’d be surprise how much black is around in the wedding industry at the minute.

I think one of my favourite wedding headband designs is the Jasmine Double Band Tiara which can be worn as a headband or in a tiara style.

It was created as part of the Jasmine Bridal Collection which also has its own blog post – New Bridal Collection for 2009.

New Crystal Wedding Tiaras

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

I’ve had a crazy tiara designing session this week and below are the new crystal wedding tiaras I’ve created.  I’ve also created lots of new jewellery too, but that’s another blog post.

The weather has been gorgeous up here in the north west of England and I’ve been quite happy sitting out in the sun with my Swarovski crystals and wire creating new tiaras for Wedding And Gems.  The first tiara I wanted to show you is the Crystal Bridal Tiara, this is based on the Crystal and Pearl Bridal Tiara which is extremely popular at the moment and I thought some brides might prefer the design in pure Swarovski crystal.  I’ve also added more decoration to the handcrafted tiara band as well.  You can see for yourself in the photo.

This wedding tiara is only 3 cm tall which makes it perfect for those with long faces or those brides who want to wear their hair loose on their wedding day.

 

I’ve also created the Crystal Forest Wedding Tiara which again has been created using a handcrafted tiara base for extra comfort and over 150 Swarovski crystals.  I have to admit this tiara is one of the most time consuming crystal wedding tiaras to make and does leave me with extremely sore finger tips, but it’s simplistic beauty is really worth the effort.  You can see the Crystal Forest Wedding Tiara below in silver with clear Swarovski crystals.

 

It would be nice to get your feedback on these tiaras, so leave your comments below.

 

Thanks

New Bridal Accessories

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

I seem to have been on a bit of a mad mission creating new bridal accessories for Wedding And Gems so I thought I would showcase some of my favourite pieces here.  There is a huge emphasis on calla lilly wedding accessories this year so I designed what has to be my favourite wedding hair pin, the Calla Lilly Crystal Hair Pin.  From the photos below you can see that it’s handcrafted from 3 frosted calla lilies which have a Swarovski crystal centre.  Sprouting from behind and in between the calla lilies are stalks of crystals.  It really is a pretty piece and is selling extremely well in the shop

I’ve also create a number of new pieces of wedding jewellery such as the Crystal and Pearl Bridal Earrings which was be seen in silver and clear crystal with fresh water pearls below.

I didn’t stop there either,  I’ve made more bridal earrings which you can see by heading over to Wedding Jewellery on the site.

I also created a few more bracelets too, below you can see the Sparkles Wedding Bracelet finished with a gold plated clasp.

Again I wasn’t satisfied at creating just the one new wedding bracelet so I created the Swarovski Crystal Bracelet which is handcrafted with 3 different sizes of Swarovski crystal knotted onto a clear thread to give the impressions of the crystals floating around the wrist.  You can view the Swarovski Crystal Bracelet by clicking on the following link – Swarovski Crystal Bracelet.

And just to finish the afternoon of I have designed a brand new wedding tiara this afternoon and you can see and hear all about the inspiration behind this particular wedding tiara in my next blog post.

Happy Wedding Planning.

New Bridal Collection for 2009

Saturday, January 3rd, 2009


Happy New Year to everyone.  While you’ve been busy partying and catching up with friends and relatives, I’ve been busy designing a new bridal collection for the Wedding And Gems online shop.  You may remember that a few months ago I started experimenting with fresh water pearls.  The new bridal collection – Jasmine, features fresh water pearls enhanced by real Swarovski crystal.  The collection consists of a handmade tiara, wedding jewellery, plus a delicate hair pin.

The Jasmine Double Band Wedding Tiara

You may have noticed that double band tiaras have become hugely popular of late, both for brides and their bridesmaids.  I think one of the main reasons for this is the delicate understated look that they give.  This tiara is created on a handcrafted tiara band decorated with an intricate design of Swarovski crystals which enhance the natural beauty of the fresh water pearls.  This tiara measures 4 cm in height and is available in either silver or gold with clear or clear AB Swarovski crystals.

You can view the rest of the Jasmine Wedding Collection by jumping to our collection page – Jasmine Bridal Collection.
