Christmas Orders

Holiday shopping can be a hectic chore when one is hideously busy with everything that has to be done at this time of the year. Take some of that stress off your plate by ordering your gifts early from Jewelry By Jennifer Casady. All year long, every order is gift boxed, no matter the occasion, in my signature hunter green boxes finished off with a gorgeous white ribbon. Every woman will feel special and cherished opening her gift of beautiful jewelry from one of my collections.

Make sure you order by December 15th to guarantee Christmas delivery. For orders placed after December 15th, I will try to ship them out as quickly as possible, but, as every item is lovingly handmade to order, I cannot guarantee that it will arrive by Christmas.

New Digital SLR Camera

The most frustrating issue of almost every jewelry designer who sells on the internet would be taking quality pictures of our creations. We can spend delightful hours filled with designing and creating the perfect piece of jewelry, but, then it comes time to take a picture of that piece, and the stress and frustration begins. Many of us jewelry designers are not professional photographers, so not only do we continue to improve our skills as artisans, we also have to improve our skills at photography. Who knew? LOL My first pictures two years ago were horrid. Only through two years of unwavering determination, and a handful of amazingly patient and giving friends and aquantences have I been able to achieve (what I think) are decent pictures of some of my pieces. But, due to limitations in my Canon Powershot model, I could not take completely clear and in focus pictures of my large chainmail pieces. As I discovered what my camera could do, I realized that there were a few things I would not be able to do and that I would ultimately need a DSLR camera. I never realized that the opportunity to buy my DSLR would come so quickly! I thought I had another year before that would happen! *grin* But, praise the Lord, the opportunity arose to buy one and I grabbed it!! After much research I decided on the Pentax K10D. Woohooo!!! I received the camera on Friday and have had very little time to play with it. But the few pictures I have been able to take...oooo...I'm already in loove with this camera. I know it can be a very frustrating process of learning how to properly use this camera, but, I am up for the challenge!! After the holiday rush is over I look forward to continuing to explore the vast abilities of this Pentax and I can't wait to capture better pictures of my pieces!

New Pieces Galore

The last several weeks have been crazy busy as I have been preparing for the holiday buying season and making several dozen new pieces.

I absolutely adore my Raspberry Delight set and I have created two more versions of this luscious set, Blackberry Delight (Black Spinel gemstone rondelles) and Snowberry Delight (Freshwater Pearl nuggets).
My Fireglow Necklace has been very popular, so I created two additional pieces with the same color combinations for variety. The Fireglow Earrings and Carnelian & Citrine Shaggy Loops Necklace.


I fell in love with these gorgeous Pink Amethyst faceted gemstone briolettes and they were begging to be paired in a spring combination, and I just could not resist adding a bit of springtime in with the rest of my new pieces.

One of my most popular sets, the Flip Flop earrings and matching bracelet needed an understated necklace to be paired with.
Enjoy!
