Indigoskye Bead Fashions

First off, I’d like to apologize for not keeping up with my blog on this website.  2009 has been a very busy year for me.  As a thoughtful Christmas gift, my husband gave me a new fancy computer and in my efforts to transfer all my software and files, I lost track of the time.  I’m using a new HTML writer to update my website and the learning curve in using it has been interesting.  While I don’t consider myself to be a computer wiz by any means, at least I’m starting to feel comfortable on the net once again.

2009 has seen many changes in my jewelry lines.  I am starting to have a distinct celtic flare to my work as of late due to the number of celtic festivals that I will be attending this year.  The Highland Games have proven to be great fun for me as I sell my unique jewelry and learn more about my scottish roots.  I have new scottish themed jewelry for this year including handmade scottish terrier earrings, celtic crosses and cute sterling bracelets featuring pressed glass celtic beads.

I have also returned to college this past fall.  I am currently studying to gain a certificate in gemology and hope to add jewelry appraisal to my “bag of tricks” that I can offer to my customers.  So far I have taken two semesters in Colored Stones and a class on Pearls.  I hope to take Diamond Grading this coming fall.  Going back to college has been a complete joy for me.  I am meeting many interesting people in the gem trade and learning that there is far more to buying stones than I had imagined.  My new buying skills will result in better quality stones for my jewelry in the upcoming years and I’m very glad for the knowledge that I’ve gained.
