Spring Frills and Thrills

June 11, 2015June 11, 2015 / Andrea / Leave a comment

Wow! What a fun month it has been! I just moved back to Cincinnati after spending my 1st month of rotations in Chicago participating in an HIV/AIDS specialty pharmacy and primary care rotation! Boy oh boy did I learn a ton! Although I deeply miss my time in Chicago, I’m excited to be back at my apartment for more jewelry designing and Jewelry By Andie B. love!

While in Chicago, I did get a brief chance to make this lovely necklace. My handmade White, Blue, and Gold Tassel Pendant Necklace is so beautiful you won’t be able to take your eyes off of it! This necklace is pure boho chic and perfect for every summer style. Pair this pendant tassel necklace with your favorite festival outfit, or dress it up with a skirt and crop top, like I did in the photos above! Although this necklace looks fab in pictures, it is even more gorgeous and earthy in person! I made this necklace using Blue Howlite 3mm Round Beads, Turquoise Howlite Stone Beads, White Howlite Round 8mm Stone Beads, and White Shell 6mm Spacer Beads. Hurry and get yours before it’s gone (only 1 more left)!

Xoxo,

Dainty Pieces

Necklace: Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Striped Long Sleeve Shirt: J. Crew | Green Picture Frame: Target

Lately I have been obsessing over dainty, minimalist pieces! They’re so easy to wear with any outfit, and they gracefully accentuate your neckline. As a result of this obsession, I decided to venture out and make my own! I believe my necklaces have a special edge because both the gold chain and the gold tube pieces were shipped to me from halfway around the world, from Turkey! Owning a piece of jewelry that came from so far away definitely makes me feel more special as I’m wearing it throughout the day. Receiving these pieces from Turkey made the designing process so much more rewarding and thrilling, knowing that I was about to make a special item that traveled halfway around the world! This Dainty Gold Plated Bar Necklace is an iconic look that every girl deserves to own. Turn it into a festival look by pairing it with other thin gold necklaces of various lengths to give the layering effect (see more here). Or wear it solo to add a little glimmer and sparkle to your everyday office look. Either way, there is no going wrong with this gorgeous piece!

Under The El

This necklace is one of my recent favorites — it’s a cool, grey-tone, lightweight piece that can be paired with any type of outfit, formal or informal. For only $28 it’s such a steal! It’s that one piece of jewelry that you will want to wear with EVERYTHING because it meshes so easily with any color scheme, and is easy to throw on over the head! Although this necklace can easily be worn without messing with the clasp, a behind-the-neck clasp is there in case you decide to turn it into a wrap bracelet, by winding it around the wrist. This multi-faceted necklace will be your new favorite staple item, as it has quickly become mine! Also, check out my all time favorite watch, the Michael Kors Watches Parker Watch, that I literally never take off!

Golden Nuggets… Not the Chicken Kind

Amber Quartz Stone Layering Necklace by Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Jewelry By Andie B.

This amber stone layering bar necklace is one of my most prized pieces I’ve made in recent months! I’m obsessed with the natural, mineral-tones within these gemstones and the earthy vibes it exudes while wearing it. This necklace is the perfect piece to tone-down any outfit because it will literally bring you down to earth! Cheesy… I know! I made 3 of this gold luster nugget necklace on a rose-gold chain, and unfortunately they are all already sold out! I hope to make more, but please contact me if you’re interested! As pharmacy school becomes more and more time consuming, it makes jewelry designing hard to find time for. As always, with the continued support of my friends and family, I keep the designs flowing and creative juices oozing 🙂

Xoxo,

Necklace: Jewelry By Andie B. on Etsy | Sweater: Olive & Oak from StitchFix | Denim: Joe’s Jeans Women’s Soo Soft Mid Rise Modal Skinny Jean, Lagoon, 27

I made this necklace about a month ago and I’m so sad I had to part ways with it so early on! This was definitely one of my fastest selling necklaces I have made so far, as it was sold just a few hours after publishing it to my Etsy shop! Can you blame the buyer though? This necklace is so easy to wear that it can be paired with practically any outfit. Throw it on over a big sweater and jeans, as I did above, or layer it over a fancy blouse. I cannot wait to make this necklace again and get it back up on the shop!

P.S. I recently tried StitchFix for the 1st time and absolutely LOVED it! They send you a few clothing pieces and jewelry to try on based on your (very detailed) style profile. You can try everything on in the privacy of your own home, and then pay for just the items you want to keep, and mail the others back! Simple as that! I snagged this fierce double zippered grey sweater from Olive & Oak

Xoxo,
