Jewelry making, jewelry tutorials, news and updates
Because Christmas is drawing near, I have decided to host giveaways every week from now, both here in 'My Jewelry Journal' and in my FB page 'Sathem Jewellery', until as far as I can go. After all, this is a wonderful giving season where everyone has their share of joy of both giving and receiving.
I have many different plans for Christmas in my mind, some possible some not quite. Taking in how a year fly by so quickly makes me complain a bit less and thank God more for looking after me and my loved ones year after year.
What is you plan for Christmas? Whatever they are, I hope you guys have a wonderful time filled with love, peace and joy.
This week giveaway will be 'Serene Topaz' Bracelet. I've made this bracelet with extension chain possible for both small and big wrist to wear. I love the color and I hope you guys love it too. (See rules below)
How are you guys? Just a quick note to let you guys know I'm hosting another giveaway on my FB page. In fact, I'm going to be hosting giveaways weekly over there (each competition runs for 5 days), so head over there and 'like', so you'd be updated with those lovely sparkling stuff! ^^ For this week (start today) I'm giving away 'Midnight Glam'(I've made this myself, of course. Check out the photo) to one lucky winner. The competition will run 'til the 5th of December.
Christmas is almost here! A time of GIVING!
THIS GIVEAWAYS IS NOW CLOSED. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS! THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING!!
I've always believed that in any kind of situations, our being kind, giving, considerate, thoughtful and being responsible to loved ones and even strangers will not (and should not) be taken away from us. We don't have control over most things, but if we continue to do things God's way, for me, there's not much to worry about! Sometimes God calms the storm, but most of the time He lets it rage - and calms us. Either way, He's by our side! This post, I'd like the opportunity to remind us of our duty to others, be it our spouse, our parents, our friends, our brothers, sisters, our kids, our relatives, our co-workers, our neighbors, to be a little bit more thoughtful towards them. After all, 'selfish' is never what we want to use to describe ourselves as a person, or is it?
Christmas is just round the corner, and I want to make your day! I am giving away almost all the jewelry pieces I made you are seeing on my blog (take a look at the pics below). Anyone from all over the world can participate. I hope you all have a great Christmas guys! (Rules are below)
My new project is now come to life! Life twists and turns create gaps between these pieces to be made, but I always find myself back to them. Today special is my beautiful green cluster set jewelry. This time I've used semi-precious stone almost alone (if not with the cream pearls) and they came out beautiful. The set include necklace, bracelet and matching earrings. I've made this to order for special occasion (wedding). Here they are;

I'm a little bit not myself this week, and the very reason being that, I'm trying to be 'more myself', if that makes any sense to you at all. After been reflecting about a lot of thing this week, I can see why certain things are the way they are. I've watch 'The Sunset Limited' the other day and it got me thinking about the fact of this life we're living. How nothing is permanent and how does that makes one feel. One thing for sure is, we've got to get it together, or we're getting too ahead of ourselves and get depressed. Which is the reason why most of us have or trying to find the things that they can say they love doing. Mine? I make jewelry. When I make jewelry, my mind is in one place, and that's how I like it.
Anyways, I've finished some stretch bracelets recently and like them. Making sure they are durable, I can safely say these lovely-stretchy won't throw themselves everywhere in bit and pieces when you try to wear them ^^. Take a look below and if you are interested check them out with details at http://www.sathemjewellery.co.uk.;
Last week I was thinking of something fun, but still, when it comes to jewelry, I just can't stop making it glitter! So the problem was, 'How do I combined the 'fun' and the 'glitter' together?!' The thought of 'wire' just popped up in my head. Though, I wasn't quite in the mood for serious wrapping, I am more than happy to play with some fun curl! That's right.. MEMORY WIRE!! ^^
Come and take a look!;
I've been reading blogs and surfing a lot lately, and why not? Thanks to the great invention, most of fresh ideas and new useful stuff are just easy to find these days. There're loads of jewelry blogs around it amazed me how some of us can be 'extraordinarily' creative and good with those ten fingers.
I love something special and glittering, it reflects so much on my jewelry. There're also some other areas of jewelry making I'd love to get into. This time, I giving myself a bit of a 'play time' and pray around with beads and ways to put them together. Here's what turned out;
I've just finished 'Adventurous'(that's right.. all my jewelry got name.^^) and thoughts, 'I could do more of the red stuff! lol' I'm glad it is worth the time spent since I like the way it turns out. Check this piece out and let me know what you think. ^^
Note: 'Adventurous' is available in my store@ http://www.sathemjewellery.co.uk
I've been thinking about 'party' a lot lately. A glam night, a special occasions with a lot of people you are so aware of your appearance. Being away from those moments for a bit, I guess I just needed to remind myself how things like jewelry could add up to our confidence.
I'm coming up with all beloved newbies. They are new, they are neat, and 'yes!' they are GLAM!^^ My aim is for anyone who wear them feel certain level of confidence as in, "YES! I'M LOOKING PRETTY TODAY!" sort of thing. Second, I've just completed my online portfolio, Facebook page, and online store all linked up together. Check them out.
Note: All these jewelry on this blog are likely to be in my online store-SATHEM JEWELLERY. If you like the way they look, feel free to head there and check out their prices.^^
