It's a jewelry design BLOG HOP!


I do so love a blog hop! As mentioned in my last post, the six Cousin DIY ambassadors received a package containing identical beads just for the fun of seeing everyone's unique design styles. You never know what might happen during the creative process. So fun!

In the bracelet above, I used memory wire to connect to the focal bead since it's pretty lightweight and the beads are a bit heavier. The memory wire helps maintain the structure.

Of course, I think the dangles bring it to life! I've never had a bracelet like this before with faux druzy pieces so I'm excited to wear it. Those druzys are pretty spectacular. :)

This simple silver necklace may end up being my favorite go-to piece for a while.


It's surprisingly striking and would look great at the beach with a bathing suit or on a flowing bright colored blouse. The bright silver spikes make a real statement.

And, speaking of spikes... The necklace below totally makes me laugh. I don't always create jewelry for the humor in it, but it happens.

This one is perfect for a button-up blouse. The focal piece will be nicely framed and when you get a glimpse of the silver and aqua it might even cause a double-take. I think it's the contrast.

Originally I thought there was a fifties vibe with the black and light aqua, but then it took on a life of it's own. I just loaded up long eye pins with the aqua beads to give it structure and added a giant lobster clasp.


Can you tell I'm chuckling? I don't know why, but it really makes me laugh. Haha! :) It's beachy, but something about the black shamballa beads gives it a little extra dose of fun. What do you think?

Thanks for following along on our little experiment. Each ambassador will be posting their results in the very near future too. Their links are below. Have a great weekend!!

I want to show my thanks to this writer for bailing me out of this incident. After browsing through the online world and coming across solutions which were not powerful, I thought my life was over. Living without the solutions to the difficulties you've solved by way of your site is a serious case, as well as those which might have in a wrong way damaged my career if I had not noticed the website. Your own ability and kindness in taking care of every item was helpful. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a point like this. I am able to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the professional and results-oriented help. I won't hesitate to recommend the blog to any individual who would like care on this subject.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Cheers

I absolutely love this jewelry design blog hop! It's always so exciting to see how different creative minds use the same materials in unique ways. The bracelet with memory wire and faux druzy pieces is stunning—such a clever use of materials to balance the weight and maintain structure. Those druzys really do add a spectacular touch!

The simple silver necklace is elegant and versatile, perfect for any occasion from beach days to dressing up a vibrant blouse. And the spiked necklace is a delightful surprise! The contrast between the silver and aqua beads, combined with the black shamballa beads, makes for a striking and fun piece. It's whimsical yet stylish—definitely a conversation starter!

It's inspiring to see such creativity and innovation in these designs. I can't wait to see what the other ambassadors have come up with for 2024 and 2025. This blog hop is a fantastic way to kick off the new year with fresh, creative energy. Keep up the amazing work, and I'm looking forward to more beautiful and unique jewelry pieces! Have a wonderful weekend!
