Unique custom cut gemstones

In my jewelry I always trying to find unique, custom cute gemstones. Some of the gemstones made specially for me and very limited edition. Today I want to share with my new stone.

24KT real gold inside natural rock crystal.

If you interesting how it was made - here is some information. Natural rock crystal have been sliced with a lazer, then layers of solid 24Kt real solid gold inside, then parts were reheated and fused together. The result is one of a kind hand made gemstone. Extra sparkle gives faceted sides of gemstones.

When I made jewelry with this kind of gemstones I don't need go crazy - simple is a beauty.

Etsy On Sale reviews

Etsy on Sale my review
I’d like to share with you my first try of the new application powered by Etsy On Sale. After reading some threads on ETSY forum I decided to try and see how it will work for me. If you haven’t heard about this new feature – CLICK here to find more information.

1. Following all the steps – I could sign up and it take me less than 5 minutes to start running this application. So big plus for this.
2. Before putting all shop items on sale I decided to make a first try with only several items – I stopped with 12. I created new section in my Etsy shop Last chance and put everything I want to put on sale there.
3. After pre-work in my Etsy shop has been done – I went back to Etsy on sale and Scheduled my first sale. I was running it October 13-th from 12am till October 14-th 12Am – so 24 hours.
4. The day before I start tracking how many items on Sale were in my section Jewelry. On the 12-th it was 9772 items .. when I start it was 9 934 and during the day it was 10 644 and 10 548. (well it’s well known fact that it’s too many jewelry on Etsy)

So now the time of the first results.
1. During my scheduled sale I was visiting Jewelry section and I saw my items (only 2 of them) – and only 2 times.
2. I got feeling that I never gone through all 10 000 items – after 10-11 scrolls items start repeating … I start seeing the same items again and again
3. There is no Search options so it’s hard to find things you might want to buy. It’s like more than window shopping .
4. I didn’t promote this sale and result is 0
5. After looking at my GA for the sale period of time – no one visit from Etsyonsale came to my Etsy shop.

What I’m going to try to do with the next Sale ?!
I set my next sale on weekend and I’ll try to make some FACEBOOK , Twitter, and Forum promotions. I’m going to put all my 76 items for sale and we’ll see the result.

Shopping on etsy reviews

Shopping on ETSY

FineEmbroidery shop has been featured on one of the blogs I’m following, please read the FineEmbrobery interview. Today I am happy to show you my latest purchase on Etsy and am reviewing this item for you.

The item I purchased is a doorknob hanger embroidered with Chinese Feng Shui symbols and it is used as a money magnet. I absolutely love it! I made my purchase on September 30^th, good follow up by the seller as I got a message when my order was shipped along with the tracking number. By the 4-th of October it was at my door and I was holding it in my hands.

So Score for shipping 10 out of 10!

Next big point, packaging; I got it not in the usual Ziploc bag as I normally receive many of my purchases from Etsy. It was in very nice handmade box with a bowl and lovely hand written note.

So score for the packaging 10 out of 10.

Now the Hanger and how it’s made!

The door knob hanger very well done, made from olive color polyester sewn into a pillow with gold metallic embroidery. It is stuffed with poly fill and sewn to a metallic chord for hanging. I am not very good at reading descriptions; I am more the impulsive buyer. From the picture I thought it would be a bit smaller but the size is just right. One more thing, I love the cute bead sewn at the bottom of this doorknob hanger.

So the score for description 10 out of 10 (PS I only got 5 out of 10 on the fact that I need learn to read and not just buy stuff)

Conclusion;

- Money well spent

- Got great ideas for the Christmas gifts to my family.

- Totally will be back for more purchases from this seller.

Christmas shopping rush

Be ready for Christmas rush

The Christmas rush is around the corner. Starting October and to the December it’ll be very busy days for those who sell handmade art on-line or at craft show. And it’s time to be ready. I went the other way, not regular. Usually I stock up with the right jewelry supplies, mailer, gemstones, scotch tape – you name it. Those who sell they good on-line for more than one – two years will easily understand me.

I decide to start with the good energy gathering. Leaving in Seattle you never know what kind of weather will be in the next hour. So I skipped this information early in the morning when the sky was grey and no sign of the lovely weather took my family and we run to the park and then to the beach. Lucky we everything is around the corner. Yost Memorial Park in Edmonds was the first stop. We were hunting mushrooms and wild berries (Don’t be scary – hunting was with my lovely photo camera).

After this little trip we became hunger and it was lunch time so we moved to the Edmonds Marina Beach. Home made barbecue chicken some salads and we are in fun games again. Love that place. Even it’s the end of September me and my baby were having fun playing in the water. And my dear husband did a great job making photos

After such a great day I got my energy for the next working week with my on-line shops. See you all at my on-line shops fine handmade jewelry MyWayToSay and jewelry supplies shop GreatSupplies
