One fun thing about making custom jewelry is to be able to do EXACTLY what a bride wants. Kate is getting married today, and we wish her and Josh all of the best!

Her girls have beautiful navy dresses, and she wanted something simple to compliment the gowns, so we used silver Swarovski pearls, navy Swarovski crystals and sterling silver to complete her look.

When Kate saw the necklaces, she couldn’t have been happier with them, which in turn thrilled us! She then secretly confessed that she had looked all over for the perfect necklaces before contacting The Bauble Market … she couldn’t find anything to match them at all, yet we created exactly what she was looking for.

We say skip the stress of searching and not finding what you want and come see us first … we can design something specifically for your needs in the colors that you want. It is a fun challenge for us!

 This is the necklace that was designed for Kate’s bridesmaids.

The color combination on these earrings is great! The girls will be able to wear them again many times in the future.

Mother’s Day is coming, so keep in mind that we do lots of custom pieces. This piece was commissioned for a grandmother, and it was fun to design. The giver of the gift had a neat idea to incorporate Christ in the bracelet. Here is a breakdown of what the birthstones mean (the clear ones are just space fillers).

Top Row: December/Blue Topaz, October/Rose Zircon, December/Blue Topaz (son and his family)

Middle Row: June/Moonstone, Purple (representing the royalty of Christ), May/Emerald (recipient and her husband)

Bottom Row: September/Sapphire, December/Blue Topaz, June/Moonstone, June/Moonstone, March/Aquamarine (daughter and her family)

We hope that the recipient loves her bracelet and enjoys showcasing her family every day.

We were commissioned to create a “springy” bracelet for a giveaway for a church in Northern VA, and we just had to share it with you!!  It is so cute and definitely says “spring”. If you have anything special in mind, we would love to create something custom for you.

This custom bracelet was made using vintage beads (in crystal, glass and rose quartz) and sterling silver. It also features an extension chain so that it can fit a range of sizes.

We were so honored to be a part of today’s Purity Conference through the Student Ministries of Timberlake Baptist Church. I shot a picture of the pieces, and I also took a photo of the two door prize winners … Jessica won a necklace and Anna won a bracelet. I hope that everyone had a fun day at the conference!!

The necklace ($32), bracelet ($22) and earrings ($10) … special prices for this collection due to the conference.

 Anna (bracelet) and Jessica (necklace) were the winners of today’s door prizes!!

We designed theses pieces especially for today’s conference, and we always love custom orders. If you have an event coming up or a special piece you want designed, just let us know.

Don’t forget that we make all sorts of custom jewelry … including Mother’s Jewelry. We have a great selection on our site, but we also do a lot of custom work for moms, so be sure to keep us in mind. There is plenty of time to design something and have it ready for mom’s special day!!

Above is a sample of custom work that was done for 2 grandmothers. They each had their favorite colors, and these were designed using vintage beads and sterling silver.

Here at The Bauble Market, we enjoy coming up with custom pieces such as this keyhole necklace.  If you have a special piece in mind or want us to “tweak” one of our existing designs, just let us know … we love working with our customers to create something unique.

This is a specially commissioned necklace and earrings set. I had this posted in gold, but I was able to make it in sterling silver and to a specified length. It is made using vintage beads.

The dangle is made using a vintage keyhole for a dresser … pretty cool, huh?

Here is the happy recipient of her Christmas gift … it looks great on her!!

She wrote a sweet note, which said … “I got my necklace…I must say it is even prettier in person. I love it…now I just have to wait until Christmas to “open” it and be able to wear it. Keep up the great work…I may just have to come back for another piece. (I’ve already got my eye on another one.)”

We are SO excited to have our new gift certificates in hand.  I designed them myself (my first attempt at anything in illustrator), so I am pretty pleased with them.  Gift certificates are available in any amount, OR you can give a gift certificate for a certain item (such as a necklace and earrings set … I will let the giver know the total amount once the piece has been selected … this is a GREAT way to do a custom order).  Contact us at info@baublemarket.com or (434)851-2224 if you would like a gift certificate. We can send them to the giver or the recipient.  The front and the back of the certificate are shown below.

A history of The Bauble Market is included on the back of the gift certificate so that your recipient will know a little more about what we are all about.

Again, just contact us for a gift certificate … perfect for Christmas, birthdays, a bride (imagine giving her the ability to have a custom piece for her wedding!), you can give one just because.

I just HAD to share this sweet note that was written to me. If you check out our “restored pieces” section on our blog, you will see a strand of pearls that we reworked.  I was presented with a broken strand that had about 10″ worth of pearls to work with, and I mixed the pearls with sterling silver and Swarovski crystals to ensure that there was enough to make both a necklace and a pair of earrings.  I knew that the woman’s mother had passed away, and that she wanted to wear her mother’s pearls. That is all I knew, but when I received the following note, it truly brought tears to my eyes!!  It was a privilege and joy to be a part of the process of bringing beauty back.

Mother’s bracelets can be a fun way to celebrate your family, and it is a way to carry them around with you daily.  These two mother’s bracelets were commissioned by a mother who was giving a bracelet to each of “Will”s grandmothers.  We used vintage beads and sterling silver to complete these keepsakes.

 Each grandmother received a special keepsake bracelet with her grandson’s name on it.

 One of the grandmothers enjoys yellow, so we designed a bracelet with bright lemons and subtle yellows so that she could enjoy the piece with many of her outfits.

 The other grandmother loves purple hues, so this bracelet had a variety of vintage beads in purple coupled with sterling silver.

Here at The Bauble Market we enjoy talking with our clients to grasp their ideas and bring them to fruition! If you have a special idea or design in mind, we would love to help you bring those concepts to life. Contact us today at (434)851-2224 or info@baublemarket.com.
