My Jewelry at Alexia Gavela Bridal

My connection with Alexia Gavela, in Austin, TX, began with my niece.  She purchased her wedding gown there almost 2 years ago.  When I went with her for a fitting, I began talking with the owner, Geri, and he encouraged me to bring some jewelry to him (on consignment) to see if it would sell.  I have sold many pieces there and it’s turned out to be a pretty good venue for me!  Here is a partial picture of some of the pieces I have there.

There are a lot of beaded combs pictured here that are not in my Etsy shop.  They’ve been fun to make, but take quite awhile.  Here’s a link to the one set of combs I DO have in my Etsy shop.  They are currently sale priced at $21 for the pair: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22559937

The owner, Geri has a knack of really listening to the bride and finding the perfect dress for them, and the dresses are gorgeous!!  He knows his stuff and is easy to work with.  He’s really good about suggesting jewelry to go with the dresses, too,  and it’s working!  I would tell any bride-to-be to go check out his shop!  He is super!  www.agbride.com

“Unchain My Upside Down Heart”

I found these beautiful upside down heart filigree components at one of my favorite bead shops in Houston, TX:  Bead Traders/SS Traders.  Here is a link to their online store: http://www.sunnylookdesign.com/

The online shop is a little different than the physical location.  They are tucked in the center of a little shopping area on the corner of Fondren and Westheimer that has sort of a little courtyard and shops behind other shops.  A little hard to find if you don’t know where to look!  I did bit of wandering the first time I went there…  They have tons of charms and components, as well as a good selection of seed beads and a smaller section of glass and gemstone beads, chain and tools/supplies.  Their main thing is charms and components.  They are always very helpful and I’ve gotten a free gift every time I’ve been there!

I thought these earrings would be a beautiful addition to the jewelry I have on consignment at Alexia Gavela Bridal, here in Austin.  I also have them posted in my Etsy shop.  You can read all the specifics about them here:  http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38166615

“Dainty Filigree Drops”

I just added these to my shop: www.sarascreations.etsy.com

Although they look larger in the picture, they are very dainty and delicate and would be perfect for bridesmaids, since I can customize the crystal color to match their dresses.  They hang only 3/4 of an inch below the ear wires!
