Linda Blackbourn Jewelry: March 2011

New Photographer -- New Listings

Several new listing have made their way to Etsy, which is my only online catalog at this point, and all of the new photos are by my friend Barbara Talbott.

Here is an example:

Listing is here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/69198584/helena-necklace-sleeping-beauty

Another example:

Listing:http://www.etsy.com/listing/69196233/karen-necklace-turquoise-orange

Both of these listings are pieces made from some of the excellent stones I bought in Tucson. I bought a lot of sleeping beauty turquoise this year as the Chinese turquoise was almost the same price, and I just love the blue with the new Spring fashion colors. The orange carnelian also just pops with the Spring 2011 colors.

Let me know what you think about the photos and the pieces. I am planning to list many, many more over the next few weeks!!

Back in the game

Very excited to be back in the online business. I have been soooooo busy with ArtSpring that I have let my jewelry business flow on autopilot. Yes ... the sales have been good at ArtSpring, but I am ready for online sales and new wholesale ventures.
