To PJ-Creations.com where you will find many unique jewelry creations. I use only top quality materials and design everything personally in my home workshop. I string all my jewelry with professional grade beading wire so they can be handed down from generation to generation. I do NOT buy cheap mass-production jewelry and resell it. Most of my items are one-of-a-kind.
I use a lot of lampwork beads in my creations due to their beauty and uniqueness.
All lampwork beads are made over a torch by American Self-Representing Artists meaning the glass artists
make each bead individually and then fire them in a kiln (called annealing) for durability and longevity.
No two lampwork beads can be exactly alike. Much of the glass they use is called odd-lot or special production.
These colors are here today, gone tomorrow. There is quite a bit of variance between rods so two rods listed as
the same color can be quite different. This makes each lampwork bead have very individual characteristics and color.
I will start making lampwork beads myself very soon, so check back for creations made
with my very own one-of-a-kind beads in the very near future.
Also in some of my creations you will see lampwork animals. I do business with several wonderful glass artists who make these unbelievable one-of-a-kind critters and will include their names in the description to credit these phenomenal artists with their hard work. If you have any requests for specific colors or types of animals please email me and I will check with them to see if they can accommodate us.
I also use Swarovski Austrian Crystals, Chinese Crystals, Czech fire-polished glass, and Celestial Crystals. All are equally sparkly and pretty. The flashes of light that reflect off of the jewelry are always an eye-catcher for passers-by. You will notice the letters "AB" in reference to the crystals in my descriptions. It stands for Aurora Borealis and designates a finish put on the crystals that makes them have a rainbow appearance and gives off a little more sparkle than the ones without it. It's just another look and some prefer it but it is a little bit more expensive, so you may notice that in the prices of my jewelry.
These are among my favorite components of jewelry. All the gemstones I use are top quality gems but also are natural so have inclusions and "blemishes" as they are supposed to. If you need more pictures of a specific item please email me and I will try to send you better pictures. It's fun to note the metaphysical characteristics and lore of gemstones and sometimes I will include them. There is a large variance in gemstone prices based on type of gemstone and quality. An apatite gemstone will be much more expensive than a black onyx gemstone. A higher quality amethyst will be more expensive than a lower quality amethyst. However, I never use inferior quality gemstones. I always search for the best. All of my creations are based on the price I pay for the components.
If you see something you like or have any questions, please email me at pjslancipoo@yahoo.com. Please include the item number (letter and number at beginning of item description) in the subject line of your email so I don't think it's another spam email and delete it. Most items are re-sized to fit any wrist, neck, or ankle.
I love requests so please let me know if you have any ideas. I have done several weddings, including: brides, flower girls, bridal attendants, mothers of the bride and groom, grandmothers, etc. I will match your dress colors to coordinate the entire party. Also formal occasions and pageants (I made Miss Connecticut earrings for the Miss America pageant). I love a new challenge.
