Christian Jewelry for Teens


I have been creating a lot more Christian Jewelry for teens lately.  I have realized that there is a real desire for Christian Jewelry for teens in today's society, kind of like the Jesus Freak days, back in the mid 70's when I was in high school! 
There is a lot are a lot of different types of Christian Jewelry for teens, some are guitar pick necklaces, and others would be crosses or Jesus fish, which is well known as a Christian symbol.  Teens are faced with great temptations in this days society and I feel that when buying Christian Jewelry for teens it's important to keep in mind that these young people are faced with great opposition to Christian Jewelry.  Some are even mocked and ridiculed for wearing pieces of jewelry that show their faith.  But I look at it this way, if they are able to stand up and not be ashamed of their faith, then the will be able to take on the World when rough times come! 
I was inspired to create Christian Jewelry for teens due to the fact that I  have a teenage grandson and he has a girlfriend who loves jewelry.  I love making angels with all kinds of different wings, and I've found I love using varying types of beads to give contrast in my angels.  I like using crackle glass beads, which I also sell on my website CharsBeads4u.com and I also sell my angel wings on the same site.
Making Christian Jewelry for teens is so fun because most teens love the black faux suede or the black leather cords and those are very fun to work with.  If you feel inspired why not try creating some Christian Jewelry for teens and you might even end up keeping some of your designs for yourself to wear!

My Husband is the Biggest Fan of my Guitar Pick Bracelet

Have you every loved something so much and wanted to share it with someone and they could care less about what it is that has your world rockin'?  Well I have and it's no fun, but that's not the case with my husband!  He's probably one of the most supportive husband's in the world when it comes to anything I have my heart set on, including my creations of my guitar pick bracelet. 
My husband will come home at the end of a hard day at work, sit down at his normal comfy spot on the couch, open his laptop and pull up my websites to see if anything sold that day.  It's adorable, really, I can hardly keep from smiling.  I just love when his eyes light up and he says, "Hey, did you see that you sold your black cross hologram guitar pick necklace today?"  Lately it's been his passion to see my black cross guitar pick bracelet sell.  He couldn't be more proud!  It's because I made him my model, I put a black guitar pick bracelet on his wrist and took a picture and used the picture to post on my website.  He is so very proud of his gorgeous wrist being in one of my pictures!   In fact, he's so proud that he breaks out his Blackberry phone at Church in our Coffee shop, where we hang out with our friends, and he shows them the picture of him wearing my guitar pick bracelet.  He quickly adds, "That's *My* wrist there in that picture!"  It's everything I can do to keep from busting out in laughter! 
My husband cracks me up because he knows everything about my guitar pick bracelets!  He could make one from start to finish and I had no idea he could do that until he proudly informed me that he had taken apart the knot in his guitar pick bracelet because he decided that he thought it should be a little tighter than it was.  "O.k. smarty pants!",  I told him.  I guess he's been paying closer attention that I even noticed as I sit and create a guitar pick bracelet.  I guess he has the perfect view of what I'm doing, because he sits right across from me at an angle.  He sits there and throws out his ideas saying, "Hey, I think you should make an emerald green guitar pick bracelet with a Celtic cross on it!"  So I do, and sure enough it sells!  Actually I didn't sell it, but my husband did, by showing his guitar pick bracelet to a guy at our Church who's a close friend....too cute!
I don't know who gets more excited when I sell a guitar pick bracelet or guitar pick necklace off of my site!  Sometimes in the middle of the day I'll get a phone call from my husband, and all he wants to tell me is that I just sold a guitar pick bracelet one hour ago!  I chuckle to myself and think, "How blessed I am to have a husband who loves me enough to take such an interest in what I'm doing!"

My Passion for Creating Guitar Pick Jewelry















I've been creating jewelry for over 6 years now. I must say there have been many changes in the way I create my jewelry, every so slight sometimes, but never the less it's all a learning process.
I've recently become focused on guitar pick jewelry because I enjoy music and I love spreading that joy onto others through my guitar pick jewelry creations! I hope that each piece of guitar pick jewelry that I make will touch that person's life in some way.
I recently acquired some really gorgeous colors of picks that I've been using to create my guitar pick jewelry with. One of my favorite colors is the turquoise, but the purple, hot pink, emerald green and gunmetal black are all beautiful to use in my guitar pick jewelry creations!
I love making all kinds of guitar pick jewelry, such as guitar pick earrings, guitar pick necklaces, guitar pick bookmarks, guitar pick key chains, and last but certainly not least, my newest creation, adjustable guitar pick bracelets! They've become quite a hit! My husband says it's because he modeled the guitar pick bracelet for a picture I use in my GuitarPicks4U shop online! I have to laugh because every time I sell one of those guitar pick bracelets my husband's face lights up and he chuckles, it's really quite amusing!
I hope that my passion for creating guitar pick jewelry will supply a way for me to bless others as well as bless my husband through the extra income that it will bring into our home. My husband works so hard and sometimes I feel like I don't contribute very much, but through the creations of my guitar pick jewelry I hope to be able to take some of that burden off of my husband.
I hope you will all come and visit my two shops: GuitarPicksJewelry4U as well as ChristiainJewelry4U, they both have a lot of different choices for gifts and I've tried to keep my prices reasonable enough for anyone to afford. I hope you come visit me sometime!

My New Guitar Pick Necklace Shop Is Open for Business


I've finally made the plunge! I had been contemplating opening a new shop for many years now, I decided that it would be a good business move because it seems that the guitar pick necklace seems to be the most popular item in my jewelry store online. I decided that most people who would prefer a guitar pick necklace would rather have an all guitar pick necklace shop as opposed to having to shuffle through all the other jewelry I have listed in my CharsBeads4U shop. That's when the idea of opening my new shop, which I named GuitarPicks4U. I figured that guys would be more likely to purchase a guitar pick necklace from a site that only sells guitar pick necklaces and not women's jewelry. The thing is...a guitar pick necklace can be worn by either females or males.
My customers range from teenagers to seasoned musicians. Some people like to purchase a guitar pick necklace because they want to take it with them to a Concert. It makes a great gift to throw on stage. I've been to many concerts where the musician will throw out a guitar pick or a drum stick at end of the night...and I think that a guitar pick necklace would be a great it item to toss out into the crowd at the end of the night...much more useful that a drum stick or just a guitar pick!
I love music and I put my heart into making the guitar pick necklaces that I display in my GuitarPicks4U store. I hope you'll come by and visit me some time!

I'm Front Page on Google Search for Guitar Pick Necklaces


Wow! I could hardly believe my eyes. I did a Google search for Guitar Pick Necklaces and lo and behold I was at the top of the list on the first page! How in the world did that happen? I have no idea....but all I can say is I'm really excited that it did happen!

Guitar pick necklaces are the jewelry that I've sold the most of over the last couple of years on Etsy. I've sold over 200 items and have enjoyed making the guitar pick necklaces more than anything else I've made!

The reason I love making guitar pick necklaces so much is because I love music! I love what music does for the human spirit. It really does touch the soul.

If you love music too or know someone who does, perhaps you'd like to pay my shop a visit: CharsBeads4u.com is the address. Hope to see ya there!

My Newest Guitar Pick Bracelet


I was recently contacted by a very nice person on Etsy and she requested that I design a guitar pick bracelet that she could purchase. She asked me to make a guitar pick bracelet, much like the guitar pick necklace that I make, with the sparkle cross on the guitar pick.
I went right to work and created this guitar pick bracelet! I took 5 pictures of it and then went to my Etsy site, Charsbeads4u.com, and I posted it reserved for this woman; well she bought it right away! I guess she liked the guitar pick bracelet I created! I liked it so well, I think I'll create more guitar pick bracelets to sell in my shop!
I know a lot of teen girls and guys that would love to wear a guitar pick bracelet along with their guitar pick necklace. I would like to make myself a set that matches!
Even though I make jewelry, you'd be surprised, I really don't make myself a ton of things! It seems that every time I create something new, I think to myself..."Oooh...that will sell!"
There are so many things in my Charsbeads4u.com shop that I'd love to own myself...well...maybe some day!

Our Church Bookstore Will Now Carry My Guitar Pick Necklaces


I've been waiting so long for the chance for a store to allow me to place my guitar pick necklaces for sale on consignment! Finally I got and invite from our bookstore last week to bring in some of my Christian guitar pick necklaces. I made some up and brought them in to the bookstore and they loved them and they took the whole display of the guitar pick necklaces and other Christian symbols that I had made.
I used magnets on all of the black satin guitar pick necklaces. I also made some of the guitar pick necklaces with the waxed cotton cord. I figure I will try to appeal to both tastes in people! I also made some of my Christian guitar pick keychains and they loved those as well. So far my most popular item has been the guitar pick necklaces.
Our church bookstore has already placed my beaded cell phone charms in their bookstore, which is an amazing blessing in and of itself, but
I also feel so blessed to be able to have my Christian guitar pick necklaces and other Christian necklaces that have been accepted at our church bookstore. It's truely an honor! They will never know how much it means to me that they believed in me enough to take my things in on consignment! They have truly changed the direction of my life!
