Well, this might sound very weird but I SOLD MY FIRST BRACELET yesterday and I did not think it would ever happen! Needless to say, I am ecstatic, I really am. I did not think it would happen and certainly not this soon. I’ve only been doing this jewelry business seriously for a little under 2 months. I am so stoked! I hope my good fortune keeps up.
The man who purchased the bracelet seems to be quite nice. He’s in San Diego California and found me through Fine Art America, of all places. I was shocked! He said that he’d been “trolling hundreds of websites to find the perfect bracelet for a dear friend of his who turns 60 in a few weeks.” He said “he was having trouble finding what he wanted but he knew he hand found the perfect gift when he saw my piece.” He bought the Turquoise “Forget Me Not” bracelet, which doesn’t surprise me! Everyone who sees that piece LOVES it!
I actually managed to purchase a few more lampwork beads similar to the ones in the “Forget Me Not” from the guy in Mississippi who worked the first set of beads. I bought them in turquoise and amethyst. I LOVE PURPLE…it’s my favorite color. Anyhow…
So, it’s not yet sunk in but I hope my customer in California loves the bracelet as much as I do. He asked for a re-sizing, which I did for free. I added some black diamond Swarovski crystals to the piece and it came out really nice. I haven’t yet wrapped my head around the fact that I handcrafted a piece of jewelry, a very small and inconsequential item, that this man will lovingly gift to his dear friend for her 60th year on the planet.
I guess dreams really do come true!
