PANDORA BRACELET

Sold - Pandora Bracelet with extender chain.

For those who are unfamiliar with the Pandora bracelet system, its a gorgeous and modern version of a charm bracelet. But instead of hanging, the charms & beads are drilled with a centre hole which screw or slide onto a (approx) 4mm fine sterling silver or gold, silver or gold tone, or corded chain bracelet. The bracelet can be added to or subtracted by the interchanging of different troll beads. Troll beads can set you back a few dollars to a hundred dollars or more depending upon whether the bead is made of ceramic or 22K gold.

Expensive or inexpensive pandora bracelets are unique, can be tailored to suit your personality and are a delight to behold. As a hand me down they represent true value.

THANKS FOR LOOKING AT OUR JEWELRY

Both my wife and I create and make jewelry. So all of the jewelry we have for sale is new and has never been worn. We also do some buying and selling. Our license only permits us to handle new items. This is a part-time hobby and keeps us active in the community.

We prefer to do our advertising though Craigslist so eventually, we get to meet our buyers in person. Once we have learned what you like we can custom make or buy jewelry for you. We also street vend a lot of what we make and you can find us on the Quay in front of or near the New Westminster Market on clear sunny days. I would recommend that you don't just go to the Quay and expect to see me. I often don't go out on cloudy, or windy days especially if rain is forecast. If you want to meet up with us, always phone first and we will provide you with excellent service.

We work mainly with Sterling Silver, various crystals, natural gemstones (Like Agate, Amethyst, Turquoise, and Jasper) and once in a while we will buy and sell a few pearls. Our knowledge and our craft ability is growing daily. We provide an unconditional 100% guarantee on all of the jewelry items we make. If for any reason a clasp breaks or something happens to the piece, we will fix it for you at no extra charge. Just bring the pieces back to us and we will restring it and or change the clasp. We have so few items returned for fixing that I often forget to say that all of our items are indeed 100% workmanship guaranteed.

Don't be shy to make a few comments at the bottom of our listings. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks for visiting my blog. Many regards and hopefully we will be doing some business with you in the very near future.

Click on your back button to return to Craigslist or click here http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/ You can also email us at john.hoover.2000@gmail.com but it's just as easy to phone us in the evening. You can reach us at 604.525.7484. We are centrally located in New Westminster.

HAND OR HOME CRAFTED VS BUY AND SELL

ONE OF THE MOST COMMON QUESTIONS I GET ASKED IS "DID YOU MAKE THIS"?

The answer to this question is really a, "yes" and "no", to most of the items we have for sale.

For instance, I don't make crystal beads - I just use them to make bracelets or necklaces. I also don't hammer out the metal or make the natural natural semiprecious gemstones. I just use them to make earrings and anklets. I don't make metal finger rings or sterling silver neck chains. So what is a home or hand crafted item and what is a buy and sell item?

If my wife or I was involved in the production of the final product for sale then I think of those goods as home crafted or hand crafted; Whereas buy and sell goods are items that we have basically bought for resale.

Assembled items are hand crafted items, if you have purchased the components to make a new product and have assembled them in a novel way. Many of our pendant necklaces are hand crafted because we buy the focal bead, (the pendant), the bale, (silver tone, sterling silver, or silver plated), the neck chain, (fabric voile, leather, sterling silver, whatever) . We then assemble the components. Voila - we have a beautiful pendant necklace. Usually this process takes a lot of time looking for and then buying the matching components whereas the actual assembly is a straight forward, easy task.

However beading is far more complex. Many of our earrings, bracelets and necklaces, contain several components and then we have to bead them in such a way that they are appealing to the buying public. A three stranded bracelet using Swarovski crystal or a double stranded necklace using Mother of Pearls beads is far more complicated than just assembling an pendant necklace.

Added to that is the fact that skilled workmanship is required (like in earrings) to bend over metal eye or head pins and/or attaching clasps on necklaces. To do a good job - time - is the main cost of production. Time has an impact on everything we handle. Sad to say we cannot charge for all of our jewelry making time. We are constantly told our jewelry looks lovely, but it is over priced, - because people compare our jewelry to the jewelry they can buy from India, China, Thailand or Malaysia. People don't stop and consider the different wage rates and cost of living between our county and countries such as these.

Our overall aim in providing jewelry to you is that it is a hobby first and foremost. I get a lot of enjoyment from presenting and displaying both my creations and the jewelry I think looks lovely. Secondly I want to find jewelry that makes you look good and makes you feel good too. So with these two thoughts I am always concerned about competition, but I will more or less follow my own path with your purchases always being the main indicator as to how well I am accomplishing my mission.

So Thanks for looking at my blog. I have enjoyed putting up the pictures on the net for you to view. If you feel so inclined, please don't be shy in leaving me a comment. Thanks again.

To make life simple for you - the reader of this blog. I have put a (HC) for hand or home crafted items and a (B&S) for buy and sell items.
