Sherrill and Filip's Wedding

With June upon us, we are in the height of wedding season! 

I've had the pleasure of working with some pretty stellar people lately!

Congrats to lovely newlyweds Sherrill and Filip on gettin' hitched! Sherrill had me when she mentioned Solange in discussing the jewellery and accessories for her destination wedding. I got a sense of her style right away after a quick chat when we first met. As we discussed and worked on our shared Pinterest board, we came up with some lovely ideas in brass with shiny clear crystal and pearl accents.

She chose a group of unique earrings for the bridal party as well as a custom necklace to go with her MoonRox earrings.

I added some little charms to the necklace with the initials of the bride and groom. 

The most fun was had making the series of light ethereal series of hair pieces. They are delicate and can be molded gently to sit perfectly. All of the pieces for the six women incorporated the same materials to tie everything and everyone together.

I was so very honoured to make some pieces for this special day!

Wishing the bride and groom a lifetime of love and happiness!

A custom bracelet

Had the pleasure of making a special Mother's Day gift for talented illustrator Emily Taylor to surprise her lovely mom. Worked her mother's father's R.C.A.F. button in with a sparkly mix of crystals and chains to make an asymmetrical bracelet. Having always had a great connection to my own grandparents, I was so happy to work on this!

Bridal earrings

I was honoured to make the earrings that CN wore on her special day.  We chose to make the Tassel Earrings in sterling silver with sparkling clear and silver Swarovski Crystals.  I think they accented her wedding day ensemble perfectly.

Extensive search

I've been working on a side project that has tasked me to make some very specific pieces of jewellery for someone.  It has taken me to bead shops, knick knack shops, hardware stores, hobby shops, art supply stores and even toy stores.  Let's not forget the hours spent searching on the ol' internet!  This is a toughy!  The hunt continues today!

Custom Constellation

Recently I got to make this pretty brooch for a lovely lady I met at the One of a Kind Show.  We had communicated via Twitter, but it's always nice to meet someone in real life.  I had fun making this bright turquoise-y blue Constellation Brooch.  It's part of the series of MoonRox Classics ... one of the designs that I will always keep in the repertoire.

Custom Bollywood Earrings

Last week I had the opportunity to create some custom earrings for a most fabulous lady. She had a special event coming up and requested some Bollywood inspired earrings in her preferred colours of pink, mauve, purple with a hint of turquoise. She needed three pairs for her multiple ear piercings, but one main pair that would be the attention grabber. After a couple failed attempts, I was very pleased with the results! Here's what I came up with!

Custom Necklace

Last week I met with a lovely customer and passed along her custom made Treasure Necklace and Bracelet.  She chose a blue/teal/aqua combo.

(Hello L.!  Hope you enjoy them!)

Shiny bridal necklace

Here are some images of a chunky necklace made for a beautiful bride to be. These pictures hardly convey how shiny and light-catching this piece is! I had a tough time getting a good photo! I used hundreds of Swarovski crystal beads to make this shimmery piece! I hope it goes just perfectly with her wedding day ensemble! I think I've said this before (and recently) but it's fun and inspiring to work on custom items, especially when using techniques that I don't use in the pieces I produce for the season.

So happy that this necklace will be part of the couple's special day!

Colourful earrings

These earrings were made to match a cheerful colourful dress that will be worn by a very lovely lady to her sister's wedding this upcoming weekend. We chose to use a mixture of Swarovski crystals and blue agate beads hand-wired and clustered atop luminous citrine drops.

This week I have been working on special pieces for a few different people! It's been fun to learn different techniques and try some new ideas.

It's Friday! Hope you enjoy the long weekend! May 2-4... does this mean Summer can official bestow itself upon us? Please?

Custom order

These are some earrings that I made for a dear customer who always insists on earrings to match her bracelets and necklaces. I know, they look heavy, but she can handle it! I think they turned out well! They'll look pretty with the Twinkle series that she picked up. Next up on the custom order list are wedding jewels with the season of nuptials upon us!

Bridal jewels for S.!

Many weeks before her wedding, S. came to me with an inspiration photo and we went from there to create a pearl (faux but fabulous) and crystal necklace with co-ordinating earrings. I was super happy, and I think S. was too, with how they turned out. I had never made anything like either the necklace or the earrings so it was great to experiment with new techniques. Then I made a lighter version of the set in purple-y silver for her dear sister to wear on the special day. I'm thinking I will add some variations of these styles to the MoonRox collection!

Bridal jewels for J.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to custom design the jewellery worn by J. and her bridesmaids for the wedding this past Saturday. It was refreshing to work on something different than the items that I have been making day-to-day for production. I had not worked in sterling silver for some time and also re-awakened my interest in wire work. As always with custom work, it's an extra challenge to make things that have been discussed and conceived, but really the two of us could have had entirely different visions. I was so happy to see that J. was pleased with the results. They looked even better when put together with her gown and all the bridal trimmings! I think they suited J. and the 'maids perfectly!

Custom head band for a Sweet 'P'

This head band was custom made for a little baby girl's baptism. P. has the most amazing red hair that L. and I marveled at at the One of a Kind Show earlier this month. I do hear that red heads are going extinct, so I felt she was lucky to have such fabulous locks. Her mother and I decided on the details and she was very happy to receive the piece this week. We made it fit little P.'s head perfectly! Since it was for a special occasion, I surprised her with an embroidered 'P' on the back of it. I can't wait to see the pictures of her wearing it!

If you have an event coming up for you or a little one, let me know if you need any special adornments! Get in touch at info(at)moonrox(dot)ca.

Custom order

This one is on it's way to Quebec! A variety of purples and magentas hang from a loopy brass chain.

Constellation Brooch

I recently made this Constellation Brooch for a custom order. It is a design that I now make to order only. You can choose your colour(s) and decide whether you'd prefer gold or silver coloured wire. If you'd like one, send me a note at info[at]moonrox[dot]ca or convo me at the MoonRox Etsy Shop. I so liked how this particular one turned out that I had to take a photo. Here it is.
