Ever feel like you're having a really lucky day when reading your email?
When you're a blogger sometimes that feeling comes when you get an email out of the blue, asking you to review an item, based on your past reviews, and when you check out the items, you are wowed and eagerly say "YES!"! Such is the case with today's artist and jewelry designer!
DSBeading is a wonderful company that makes fashion jewelry including necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in Brandon, MO. They recently launched a new store online and offer some great looking pieces of wearable art and VERY reasonable prices! Here's a little bit about Darla Signs, the owner and creator!
As a mother of four grown children I have learned that variety and individuality are marks that contribute to the persons we are becoming from day to day.
I have been interested in jewelry, fashion, and semi precious & precious stones for years and even served as a silversmith's apprentice for a period of time. Although I loved this trade, I was already extremely busy raising four children and did not really have the time required to work at pursuing the trade.
After my children had grown up, I had more time to use working on creative projects, one of which is jewelry making. I began making my fashion pieces to wear with my own outfits. As I wore this jewelry friends began complimenting me on them and asking me where I got my jewelry. This helped me to realize that others too might appreciate unique jewelry that is not something you can find multiples of in a big box store.

Like these two pieces:
When I discovered that I could sell my pieces online, I realized that now I could enjoy something I love to do while at the same time selling a few pieces on the web to help cover the expense of my hobby. I truly hope you find something in my collection that you find to be the perfect complimentary piece for one of your blouses, skirts, or outfits!
But my favorite pieces of Darla's are her Arizona Sunset series- they are made with glass beads, and the turquoise colored beads are actually Magnesite- the colors reflect the colors in the Arizona Sunsets, hence the name! Darla graciously sent me the necklace and memory bracelet.
Do I love them? Just LOOK at the colors! The colors just POP and grab the eye-
they are such a great combination!
I do have to say that the bracelet was on the larger size, hence why I am wearing it on the upper part of my forearm in the picture. I have a small wrist and it kept sliding off, so until I can get it re'memorized smaller, wearing it above a large cuff is the solution! If you have a larger wrist, then it will be perfect for you!
The matching necklace is also stunning and commands attention:
I couldn't get the bronze chains to really pop and show their true color in the pictures, sorry. I love the length- it is perfect on me, and lays well with most of my collars! I love the bar and hoop clasp, as it is super easy to put on and take off! Once again the color combination is perfect, and the bronze chains are a wonderful accompaniment for Summer dressing!
Darla has 2 necklaces and 3 bracelets in the Arizona Sunset series, and one is sure to meet your gift giving needs (even if the gift is for you!).
All the necklaces, bracelets and earrings (even the sets) are under $25 making them a great buy!
AND she even has tie wraps for men (perfect for Father's Day) and petite sets and earrings for girls, as well!
So if you are looking for a great Summer jewelry piece, give DSBeading.com a look,

They do have pretty things don't they? I love beads and anything made with them. I used to make some of my own jewelry before arthritis got the best of me! I am going to check out the tie wraps she has!
