Nutella jewelry update

Okay so i finally put in my order to Artbeads today to make the Nutella necklace and bracelet for my Sister in-law. The only bead i wasn't able to get in 6mm was the Crystal Golden Shadow. Got it in a 4mm round and have to look else where for the 6mm b/c they r out of stock.

I'm thinking a simple 18-inch necklace with the beads hanging on a jump ring charm style. with different lengths to look more like a cluster. Something casual and fun.

Been battling with sinus infections here at the house  and the kids ad i have just been miserable. However, it looks as though we are on the mend and we have a doc's appointment set. I hope that will result in medication to ease my childrens' suffering.

ahh spring.

Nutella..an addiction and now a new jewelry project!

Welcome to 2011! I hope everyone's New Year was blissful and surrounded by family and friends. At home, ours was quiet and my daughter fell asleep 15 min before midnight. The infant stayed up though. My hubby and I kissed in the new year with sparkling grape juice (i'm nursing so bubbly will have to wait another year or so). New Year's is always special for the hubby and I because it's the anniversary of our first date. So it's always a romantic and special night for us when we kiss in the new year.

If you haven't had Nutella, a rich chocolaty hazelnut spread of uber goodness, then you are missing out on one of the best tastes of the world! I cannot tell you how wonderful this stuff is! It has caused a sensation in our house and has litterally spread throughout the rest of my family as a wonderful treat turned addiction. My husband equates it to that of a drug addiction and claims I'm his Nutella dealer. Whatever my darling you need  to say in order to come clean about being a Nutella-holic. That being said, my sister in-law is a nutella nut as well. In fact she's worse than i am she has the little 1/2 oz. packages in her purse! OMG and i thought my hubby was bad. Well to that end the addicition has provided me with a way to make her Bling that will go along with her love for the wonderful hazelnut spread that is Nutella.

I have found a wonderful seller on Etsy that has Nutella jar beads! Yes you read right Nutella Jar beads! I plan to make her a bracelet to celebrate her love of Nutella. This will be so cool and give me the opportunity to use some chocolate pearls and shades of Topaz and brown Swarovski crystals. My pearls are just wonderful and will look great with the theme of  chocolate.

 

The shade of Swarovski crystals I plan to use are the following: 

Smoked Topaz

 Crystal Golden Shadow

 Light Smoked Topaz

 Mocca

I think that mix will be a nice accent to the jar beads. I still need to find a clasp that will do though. Antiqued Copper would be nice and coordinating head and eyepins. This is going to be great.
