TWO CONTESTS! Win Up to L$1500 & Jewelry!

Hey everyone! I need a little help with something — actually, two things, so I thought I would open it up to my favorite people for some ideas.

FIRST CONTEST: Name the “Process”
One jeweler calls it “hyper gems” and another calls it “MyGems” — I would like a name for the process of gem changing for Jordan*s. I would like it to reflect the fact that MY process for the Velvet Box Collection is different — you can change at least two groups of gems or features on the piece.

The “competitors” make theirs that ALL the gems change texture — as long as ALL of them are the same texture. Sure, mine do too, if that is what the customer wants. But, my Velvet Box Collection pieces change at least two groups of gems, to create the ultimate in flexibility and creativity. If you need more material to get a handle on the process, please see the Esprit (Jordan breaks new ground!) blog entry.

So what do you think, folks? Can you come up with a winning name for this process? Put your contest entry in as a comment on this post.

The winning entry receives the Esprit set, the new set (see below) AND L$1000 for the winning contest entry. Contest ends 12:01 AM SLT Saturday, March 20.

CONTEST #2: Name the New Jewelry Set!
Here’s a sneak preview of the next set for the Velvet Box Collection. This is the new jewelry set – a necklace and earrings – and I should be releasing it this week!

It changes gems AND it changes pearl colors.

If you’d like to suggest some names for the new set, and I use that name, you’ll win the new set and $L500! Contest ends 12:01 AM SLT Saturday, March 20.

Jordan*s breaks new ground!

Yep, I think I have anyway — I have looked and looked and no other jeweler is doing what I just did… and that is, allowing YOU to CHOOSE your main gemstones AND your accent stones.

The ultimate in flexibility, the first set into the box is called Esprit. I have to say its beautiful, and another piece I’m very proud of.

Here is the sales graphic:

Right now its on sale on XstreetSL for 1499. But… if you buy it inworld at my Asbury Heights OR my Vancouver stores (slurls to the right), you can save 200L and buy it for 1299.

And if you’d like to see a flash movie I made about Esprit and the Velvet Box Collection, click here!

I have another piece coming up pretty soon that I know will wow you, as much if not more than this one!

Synnshine!!!

Oh I can’t tell you how much I truly love these two pieces. I mean… really, really, REALLY love them. This really embodies what I like to wear, personally, in sl and rl. This piece is versatile, wear it with jeans, or wear it with a formal gown. It lays against the chest so prettily. It’s abstract in nature. I made it in two versions – one is gold metal and diamonds and the other is platinum metal and multicolor gems.

I’m contemplating a platinum and diamond version. I sure would love some feedback on that – is it something that you would prefer as a potential buyer?

A word on my metal textures. They’re completely hand made by me. Some are made even for an individual prim’s shape. That’s how much work goes into these pieces.

Without further ado…

Did I happen to mention how good they look with the Soleil and Artemis earrings? Stunning effect. Seriously. Buy these, you will not regret it.

Blog Special!

Until March 13th, if you buy the Synnshine pendant, I will give you either the Artemis or Soleil earrings free. What you need to do is drop me a notecard, giving me the transaction details. I will drop back into your inventory either the Artemis earrings in silver to go with the Synnshine multicolor pendant or the Soleil earrings in gold to go with the Synnshine diamond.

After Valentine’s Day and More New Jewelry

First off, I have to say that I’m incredibly humbled by the response to the Kaj bracelet — especially the one packaged in our Valentine’s packaging. A huge thank you to all my friends for putting up with my disbelief and sales reports — and most of all, thank you to my friend Brianna Altneu of Twisted & Bent. She’s my inner voice and “looker over the shoulder-er” person. She is also one of the hardest working women I know. Check out the link to her store, Twisted & Bent. Her furniture and home accessories are creative and just plain fun!

“AWAKEN” CHOKER OR SILVER CHAIN NECKLACE

I did do quite a bit of back research on this tri-crescent pendant, and found that nearly every major belief system has some sort of meaning associated with it. To me, it represented a growing awareness and balance in my life. I really LOVE this piece. I love the way the texture just curves around with it, the light shimmering, not a straight reflection. The choker looks so good against the skin, it just makes me feel so good wearing it. I’ve made it for men in a choker, and two versions for women: in a choker and in a silver chain, in a V that goes deeper down the chest. All are available on SL Exchange (now www.XStreetSL.com).

THE DOG TAGS

This week I released 22– yes you read that right — 22dog tag necklaces. 12 for men, 10 for women. Intended to be unisex, because of the avatar chest/neck shapes, I had to do separate neck chains for them, one for men, and one for women. The result, however, is STUNNING. Just take in the details, look how it hangs from the neck, the shadowing on the back tag, the quality of the silver texture, nothing streaky about this piece!

I’m not going to picture every single piece here – but it you go to any one of them on SLX, you’ll find hyperlinks to the others. Better yet, go inworld to one of my stores and peruse the multivend.

They are sculpted symbols inlaid onto a embossed leather that is also inlaid into the silver tag. The back tag is solid silver. Totally three-dimensional and beautiful!

Most of them are Chinese symbols, some of them are more universally recognized. The necklaces made are: Faith, Fleur De Lis, Friendship, Happiness, <3, Love, Luck, Master, Peace, Strength, Tiger and Yin Yang.

I hope you all enjoy them! They’re a fun casual accessory to have.  I’m still researching ideas for a watch for men, and my brain is swimming with really great bejeweled pieces. I’m looking forward to getting back to more individualized pieces to create! Until next them, folks — stay well!
