These four lovely cuff bracelets are infused with a lovely vintage bride floral theme.  They're perfect for an outdoor venue, a flower-filled extravaganza, or even a winter white wedding.

The large bridal cuff is spectacular at two inches wide and filled with vintage rhinestones, milk glass flowers, and lovely repurposed antique jewelry.  The maid of honor's bracelet is set off by a row of snow white milk glass, and vintage rhinestones, and the two bridesmaid's cuffs combine similar elements to a cohesive, romantic style.  The bridal party cuffs are 1 and 1/2 inches wide.

It's Nice to Be Appreciated

Dabchick Vintage Gems Customer Kudos



Cool Customers...
It's nice to receive a thank you note from a happy customer.  It makes creating art and making jewelry all the more rewarding.  Here's a quick "atta girl" from Connie, who purchased one of my all time favorite jeweled statement cuffs.


Thank you so much for the beautiful bracelet. I collect jewelry and this is so very different from anything else I have. Thanks for reserving for me. Kind Regards, Connie

Bridal Jewelry Sets, Custom Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings

Custom Jewelry for Brides

I've had the privilege of making custom jewelry for many brides over the past few years.  I really enjoy getting to know each bride, and wow, do I love to see "the dress."  Although I design and make one of a kind jewelry sets for brides, for me, receiving photos of the dress is always so exciting.

Each bride I work with has her own unique style and that is always reflected in the dress.  Most brides-to-be are excited to share with me photos of their dresses and it's important for me (and them) that their jewelry enhance, rather than compete with their dress.

Recently, I finished this custom set for an east coast bride which included a statement necklace of vintage pearls and sparkling antique rhinestones; and a custom bridal cuff bracelet that is truly one of a kind, and vintage earrings.    Visit my Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/dabchickvintagegems, my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/dabchickvintagegems, or email me at www.dabchickvintage@yahoo.com if you're interested in a one-of-a-kind custom bridal jewelry set for your special day.

Wedding Brooch Bouquets: Eight DIY Tutorials

Make Your Own Wedding Brooch Bouquet 
Is there anything more exquisite than a beautifully designed wedding brooch bouquet?  I'm absolutely in love with these wedding keepsake bouquets.  You can use your own family heirloom pieces or find vintage brooches on Ebay, Etsy, or at local antique shops, and thrift stores.  I sell antique brooches in my Etsy shop just for this purpose, like this vintage tiara rhinestone brooch:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/80471976/brooch-vintage-crown-sparkling-tiara-pin

DIY Wedding Brooch Tutorials
You can find someone to make you a brooch bouquet using your own heirloom pieces but expect to pay upwards of $275 (not including any brooches you might need to purchase).  Or you can do it yourself for a whole lot less, particularly if you find inexpensive filler pieces, and use your own vintage brooches, pins, and earrings.

Here's my round up of eight DIY wedding brooch bouquet tutorials, including links, and credits.  Enjoy creating, and don't forget to stop by my Etsy shop for vintage brooches!
