Bridesmaid jewelry sets under 20

For under $20, I can personally make your Bridesmaid and Flower girl jewelry sets at my ETSY Store : www.rbjohnson.etsy.com
  • necklace and earrings
  • bracelet and earrings
  • bracelet and necklaces
All the sets can be customized to your wedding theme, color and style, or even if you see something that you would like, email me on rishkajohnson@gmail.com to see if I can make your bridesmaid's special jewelry gifts or find me at my store website: www.rbjohnson.etsy.com

Bridesmaids don't all have to match, just in case a bridesmaid or flowergirl does not like bracelets or cannot wear earrings, make it interesting, but I can keep your style to complement one another, so that there is consistency.

My customised service also caters for numbers, you may have two to twelve bridesmaids, I will make their jewelry gift sets.

Here are pictures of my hand made items in my home 'studio'/study:

Latest Earrings Display

For my next market at Madam Sparrows on the Gold Coast, tomorrow, I have made an earring display on a picture frame.

Instead of the usual chicken wire, I used black cotton-knit fabric as a backing, covered with a tree-hugging mesh that I found at the hardware store.. I attached the earrings to this mesh, perfect for the sophisticated theme.

So the earrings and the frame was handmade by me, can't wait to show, hope the weather holds up, without rain...

Preparing for my market

Earlier this month I prepared for my first market stall I was so nervous and began to think of a theme color , black white and gold...

For my necklaces I took my husbands old cork pin up board (no longer using it in the office), and covered it with black cotton-knit fabric, using a staple gun to secure at the back as two of the pictures below.

I'll cover my earrings frame in the next post...

My first ever market stall - Madam Sparrow's market, Gold Coast, Australia

I had my first ever market stall on November 4, 2011 at Madam Sparrow's Market in Musgrave Road, in Southport on the Gold Coast. http://www.eventfinder.com.au/2011/madam-sparrows-market/gold-coast It is held the first Saturday of every month, although I may not go every month, as I am studying Management..

This stall went better than expected, sold about 5 items and when I attended the second market I sold on my kissing birds, branch and bird lariat and tree necklaces ! Also the $5 earring market fillers that I made from my left over beads, head pin cutoff and chains, were a hit ! Next markets are on 3 and 24 Dec 2011. I will then be attending the first Saturday in April 2012 again..
Here are some pics of my first stall and set up:

July 2011 coming to an end... New Collection coming soon



July was not as busy as previous months, but has given me time to design new things.

This month I also become a member of BrisStyle, an awesome community!

There have been a few requests for Initial Stamp Jewelry as Bridesmaid Gifts and thought I'ld give it a go. So here's my story:

A few weeks ago I ordered a stamping set from Sara at Sparkling Shamrock.. Everyday since then eagerly waiting like a 5 year old for lollies, at the post box for the postman to deliver that parcel.... which I received earlier this week.... Sara then emailed the instructions to me, Thank you !

Without anything to stamp on, makes no jewelry.... So at the same time of ordering the stamping set, I ordered silver blank rounds from StudioOnTheHill, the silver blank rounds she made are excellent and will certainly order from her again. Got them in the postbox this morning :)

Then this afternoon during my lunch hour, I made an attempt and it came out almost perfect.. not bad for a first attempt, I think... Have a look at the pic above..

I used the my daughter's Initial 'N' and asked her what color she would love to combine with this and she said yellow.. So at the end I completed an Initial Stamp on Round Silver, with a yellow glass bead as charms on a silver chain..

That wasn't enough, I made one for myself, with Round Silver 'R' charm, for Rishka, and a white glass pearl as charms on a silver chain, that I had to make as well :)

Bridesmaids jewelry sets under $20

Single Pearl Bridesmaid Sets under $20

Pearl Bridesmaid Sets under $15



Bridesmaid Single Pearl Necklaces under $10


Over the past few weeks due to demand, I have made simple, yet elegant Bridesmaids jewelry gift sets for under $20. This is to keep Bridesmaids jewelry gift sets affordable for the brides who already have so much expense.

The two most popular sets are:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/66318947/popular-fancy-bridal-or-bridesmaids and
http://www.etsy.com/listing/66310121/simple-single-pearl-wedding-bridesmaid

For brides who wish to buy 5 single pearl bridesmaid jewelry gift sets the most popular is http://www.etsy.com/listing/74873348/5-single-pearl-wedding-bridesmaid-gift.

I am beginning to wonder if I should set up a website with my own own jewelry designs and not only depend the ETSY community, as not everyone wants to register yet another account, to purchase something.

My first blog post

This is my first post on my new Blog about my handmade jewelry and accessories for Bridal, Bridesmaid and Flowergirls. Bit a bout me ~ I made jewelry between 13 and 15 years old, for pocket some money.. Then 15 years later when my daighter was born , my creative side decided to show itself again.. I began making jewelry and had excessive amounts and started a shop on ETSY.. Then ladies were asking for custom orders and received more and more bridesmaid jewelry orders that I decided to specialise in this area, as I love creating these gorgeous and luxurious jewelery sets.. You can visit my shop at : http://www.rbjohnson.etsy.com
