Butterfly Bracelets at Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry

Butterflies are still fluttering in my garden.  The blue-eyed Swallowtail have been joined by other species.  I wish I had the photography skills to really capture the scene.  It is magical!  

By now it will come as no surprise that I love butterflies.  Not only are they beautiful, but they are also a powerful symbol for change and transformation.  Butterflies can remind us to makes changes gracefully. And butterfly jewelry is a lovely way to remind us of that.

Shown above is one of my favorite  handmade butterfly bracelets.  The focal is an unusual hand painted ceramic oval with a gorgeous butterfly.  I surrounded it with gemstone and crystal beads in harmonious colors using vintage brass wire and even some filigree beads for a joyous result.



Shown above is another handmade butterfly bracelet.  Very vintage in style, this bracelet features a large vintage brass butterfly centerpiece.  Butterflies need flowers, so I included some beautiful brass flower connectors with all these rich golden yellow crystals. 

Browse Bittersweet Ridge Jewelry for more butterfly theme jewelry.  Each piece is handmade and one of a kind.

Butterflies on my mind...

For the past few weeks we've been enjoying some visitors.  Butterflies!  In fact, butterflies by the hundreds.  They've been swarming all of our flowers, but seem to be particularly attracted to our mimosa trees.  The majority appear to be Spicebush Swallowtail butterflies, however they've recently been joined by a few of other varieties. 

Absolutely gorgeous to watch.  Mesmerizing, in fact.  To my great disappointment, my photography skills simply cannot truly catch such small creatures in all their fluttering beauty;  at least not in the numbers we're seeing.






Very inspiring.  I can 't help but think about heading to my studio to create some butterfly jewelry.

Take Your Garden With You Floral Jewelry

I'm a addicted to flowers.  Though lilies and roses are my favorites, I don't think there's a flower I don't love.  Flowers are not limited to my garden either.  You'll find floral motifs throughout our home and in my jewelry box.  I just can't resist a blossom, especially if I can take it with me everywhere.

Take a look at this handcrafted flower blossom bracelet:  

It is truly like a corsage on your wrist. Yummy Cherry Quartz big flat twisted oval gemstone beads have gorgeous cherry rose color and are transluscent with pretty veining. Combined in this bracelet with Freshwater Pearls in creamy white. Focal is the hand carved flower blossom which looks like a breeze is gently ruffling the petals. Hand wire wrapped with sterling with a cascade of freshwater pearls for a stamen. Sterling silver accents.  Browse Bittersweet Ridge for more unusual one of a kind floral jewelry creations.

Summer Rose and Honey Bee Garden Jewelry

I love to sip my first cup of coffee out on the back porch.  It feels so private with lush wisteria covering the pergola roof, yet there are distant vistas of our meadows to stretch the eye.  Hummingbirds are fluttered from flower to flower and honey bees are working their magic in the garden.  The smell of lilies and roses is incredibly sweet that it is intoxicating. 



Drunk on flower scents is a good way to be in my studio.  My own flowers inspire a lot of my work.  This handcrafted pink rose and honey bee bracelet is a good example.  It is composed of big beautiful sage green Aventurine is hand wire wrapped with vintage brass. Wonderful three dimensional vintage brass bee seems headed for the hand carved pink Rose Quartz rose. Pretty little carved Aventurine leaf accent.  Just one example of  lovely one of a kind flower garden jewelry from Bittersweet Ridge.
