olive green tubular triangles

Some of you may remember this new line that I started back in the fall.  I wasn't inspired to do much with it for a while because the response to the those first two pieces was pretty underwhelming.  The necklace finally got a couple hearts after I re-listed in January, but overall the views have been low.  I think that this is largely due to the pictures.  These minimalist chain link designs simply disappear against the music background.  The silver just doesn't stand out.  While I haven't been motivated to re-take the original purple pictures (which as we all know, is also just a difficult color to photograph well), I did shoot the new pieces against gray.  I also experimented a little more with the poses and angles.  I think that this is a neat design and is very original, even on Etsy.  I haven't seen anyone else use tubular triangles quite like this.  So I'm not ready to give up on it yet.

With all of that being said, here are my newest tubular triangle charms, this time in olive green.


The bracelet is available here, and the necklace is available here.  I'm pretty happy with the balance against the gray.  The silver stands out a lot more, but the green doesn't disappear.  I love these two shades of olive green together.  Olive is definitely another underrated color.  I know that charm bracelets/necklaces aren't designed to be elegant/dressy jewelry pieces, but I think that the olive color could coordinate with something pretty nice.

I don't have any other triangles in the works right now, which is shocking I know.  But as always, I'm open to suggestions and/or custom requests.

Also, Margaret (SplendidLittleStars) included my Beaded Cuff Bracelet - Dagger Fringed - Pink Garden in her Etsy Bloggers Team Spring green with blossoms treasury.  Thanks Margaret!

new product line, treasury feature

Like many of my designs, this new product line is something that I've had in mind for quite a while and finally put it together.  I've been a big fan of the Tiffany heart charm bracelet and heart charm necklace for more than four years (which I don't own; I have the Lia Sophia knock offs).  I thought that it would be neat to make a charm bracelet like this, but with a triangle charm.  As I've mentioned before, I love my tubular triangle earring design but wanted to use one of these triangles in a bracelet design.  This is the result of all of those thoughts.  And I also made a necklace design.  Plus the first versions are both purple because a handful of people have requested more purple items.

Silver Chain Links Bracelet - Tubular Peyote Triangle Charm - Purple

I know that the purple looks almost black here, but it's really wonderful rich royal purple.


Silver Chain Links Necklace - Tubular Peyote Triangle Charm - Light/Dark Purple




The gray shots with the necklace turned out so well that I may try taking some pictures of the bracelet with it, too.

As always, I am open to other suggestions for the next versions of this design.

Finally, Carrie (carriegrab419) included my Peyote Cuff Bracelet - Autumn Explosion in her Autumn Splendor treasury.  Thanks Carrie!
