bellajewelsII

Welcome to bellajewels etsy shop!!!

I am only accepting custom requests from those who have purchased from me previously and know my design style, which is pretty distinctive. I don't stray too far from it. I don't ask for deposits or promises...so custom pieces that were ordered are often abandoned by those who have never purchased from me in the past.

Dec. 16, 2012...here is my bellajewels facebook page. It has been up for a few years, but I have only recently been more active on it. If you would like to join in and I hope you will..just copy and paste this link:: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bella-Jewels-by-Tracey-Pettingill/127129221899

Note to new customers::.
Quality, workmanship, creativity and detail are at the core of my work. My designs are uniquely my own created using my brain. I do not copy other peoples work, nor do I think this is ethical to do so and it would wreak havoc on the heart. My gemstones are superb and I pay a dear price, but I would rather have a $300. bracelet that lasts forever and looks like a thousand bucks than to have a $300 bracelet that may not last forever and looks like $100, maybe even less.

I use thinner gauge wire (18 gauge and 20 gauge) for ear hooks....but you can easily ask me for whichever gauge ear hook you prefer. I use an array of wire sizes for my jewelry...what I think is most appropriate for the particular piece.

I don't often describe how fabulous my stones are because I hope the pics do the talking...they are as beautiful as pictured. I receive multiple emails everyday inquiring after my gemstone sources. AND I am sure this is the reason I have such a lovely little group of repeat customers. My workmanship is pretty spectacular too, but it should be after 30 years of fine tuning and I continue to fine tune.! It is all in the details which is a rare find these days! Ha!

SPAY AND NEUTER PLEASE...and remember to adopt don't shop...while four million animals die in shelters every year.

A wonderment of authentic jewels made especially for the daringly discerning! Expressive jewelry with beguiling elements to tantalize and titillate and have your heart racing! Not meant to be fleeting trends...but rather to bespeak the beauty....spirit and individual style of the wearer.

I have been metal smithing, wire-wrapping and designing professionally full time since 1986. On ebay since 1998. My designs are my own. I have been creating the work you see here in my etsy shop long before tutorials..long before anyone else was making my designs. My work has been juried into the ACC and the Rosen shows since 1989, although I don't do shows at all anymore. _________________________________________________________
