Etsy Store


I finally opened my Etsy store! I only have one item for sale so far, but I have pictures of three more ready to post tomorrow. It is so exciting to have this dream finally become a reality! Sorry I haven't posted for so long, but I have been spending a lot of time making jewelry and working on the many little things I had to do to get ready to open my store. Check it out at www.etsy.com/shop/bridgetteeva.

Copper Earrings

I made three pairs of earrings out of copper wire. I originally bought the copper wire as practice wire because it is inexpensive. Then, I fell in love with the color and decided I wanted to use it to make finished pieces as well.



This pair is my favorite. I love the bead hanging in the middle!

More Wire Jewelry

This is another picture of my bracelet. I am planning to add some colored beads to it. Probably green or blue.


This is the necklace I posted some pictures of last time. I am really pleased with how it turned out.

This is part of my latest project. I used some pretty green beads and wrapped them with gunmetal wire. I love the look of the dark wire with the green beads. I've ordered some gunmetal chain that I am going to incorporate into the finished necklace. I am loving wire!

Gold Colored Wire

I bought an inexpensive coil of gold colored wire at Michaels a few days ago. I've been surprised at how much I like it! I'm not sure, but I think it is made of a combination of brass and tin so it has a light gold look to it rather than a bright brassy yellow.

I made this bracelet. I was happy with it, but a little concerned about the durability of the links. I decided that I made the components too large for the gauge of the wire.

So I made another one. I was much happier with this one. It is very sturdy and I got a lot of practice making swirls too!


I just finished this necklace. It has a pattern of blue cracked Czec beads and wire wrapped clear glass beads connected with figure eight connectors. I'll post more pictures of it soon.


I also got some copper wire that I have made a couple pairs of earrings with. I have been having a lot of fun with my Christmas presents! Thanks Mom, Dad, and Ben.
