Made my kiddo a watermelon bracelet because it’s her favorite food 🍉 I’ll make another and make it available to buy in my Etsy shop!

My items are now available in Depop! https://depop.com/geelaurajewelry https://www.instagram.com/p/Co3WdS3JXh5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m naming them Midnight Stars and they’ll be available for purchase (likely on #etsy until I can find a better alternative) once I take better pictures of them. Don’t worry, I changed the ear hooks to hooks that haven’t been in my ears. . . . #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade #earrings #brickstitchearrings #tohobeads #toho https://www.instagram.com/p/Co1JDHBuSRu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My next creation is almost ready; its mate might need to be partially restrung, and is still on the operating table. I haven’t ruled out restringing this earring either—one of the danglers is noticeably longer than the rest and looks like it’s giving the finger 😂 2nd picture is both earrings together on the aforementioned “operating table.” . . . #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade #brickstitch #brickstitchearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CokjOKJuNWG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

More dangle? Meh. Skelly with a fez hat? ✅ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-DOw1O3Le/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SKELLY! So much potential for variations with this prototype. I found the skeleton beads at Michael’s and am enamored. I’m naming them Skelly. They’re all Skelly, but they’ll all be featured in different designs. You’ll see! . . . #geelaurajewelry #geelaura #handmade #skelly #brickstitch #beadedhoops https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn-BA8qufGh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Belated #tbt - I made these earrings in September of 2006 for my freshman year Homecoming dance. Swarovski crystal and some big ‘ol wire loops 😂 but obviously they’ve held up! I’ll have to see if I can find some pictures of me in the dress I made them to go with. I don’t think the matching bracelet survived being upcycled. It’s nice to see my techniques have evolved! . . . #geelaurajewelry #geelaura #swarovski #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8VqCxDlol/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m in love with these brick-stitch earrings, soon I’ll make more and I’ll stop posting about these 🤣 . PSA: looking up brick-stitch earrings on Pinterest is quite an effective time suck 🙄 but at least I can say I’ve gathered a plethora of inspiration! . #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade #brickstitch #brickstitchearrings #miyuki https://www.instagram.com/p/CnumcnWuoYE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Prototypes of a wire wrapped ring using cheap base metal wire. 😂🙈 Once I perfect it, I can make it in silver and gold! . . . #wirewrap #wirewrapping #wirewrapped #wirewrappedjewelry #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CnqKn_dDYdc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Not going to lie, I’m pretty proud of these earrings #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade #brickstitch #brickstitchearrings https://www.instagram.com/p/CnduqlBOVqO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Goofed this one up, but that’s why we make prototypes! It’ll go into my personal collection, I’ll remake this and do it well, and then I’ll make it available to you 😘#workinprogress #wip #seedbeads #floral #geelaura #geelaurajewelry #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnds0WLOS_2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
