Black is the new Black

July 13th, 2011

Recently we attended a Jewelry and Bead Expo in Tampa and were stunned at what we saw.  The prices we were being confronted with were a complete shock!  I wore my personal Large Blue Aquamarine Necklace and received a very positive response to it.  On several different instances, I was asked “how many hundreds” of dollars had I spent on it.  I kept my price to myself and politely thanked everyone, but it definitely put things in to perspective for us!

Our goal at Palm Harbor Creations was to provide the highest quality of jewelry and accessories at an affordable price.  We really feel as though we stay true to this goal with every item we sell in our shop, and it was surprising to find that compared to other retailers, we are very much under the market value of our competitors.  Now, we knew we were less expensive than Macy’s, but we had no idea how much our direct competitors were marking up their items.

For example, the Onyx necklace below sells for $50 in our shop.  Purchased at full price, the retail value would be well over $100.  We love this piece, and would love to see it complete your collection!

We strive to continue to provide you with affordable and fashionable items to add to your collection, and we hope that you continue to view our shop and think of us when you have a purchase to make!

Mixing and Matching

July 4th, 2011

We recently came across these stunning polished gemstones and were stumped as to what we could do with them to give their beauty justice.   Then we came across these beautiful, lacy, lead and tarnish-free, metal mountings made here in the USA.  It was a match made in heaven!

Our next decision to make was whether we should part with these pendants individually or not.  Ultimately, we decided to sell them as a set- making them the perfect jewelry box companion!  Swap them out to match any outfit! All you need is a silver chain with a narrow clasp.  Find this set in our shop here.

The stones are as follows:
The large green is Mountain Jade 40mm x 30mm
The small green is Green Serpentine 25mm x 18mm
The brown is Tiger eye 25mm x 18mm
The deep purple stone is also Mountain Jade 25mm x18mm
The final green stone is Unakite. The stone is a little smaller (18mm x 13mm) but the setting size is still 25mm x 18mm

Beautiful Beach Wear!

July 3rd, 2011

Summer is officially upon us and while we all plan our vacations and trips to the beach, what’s the one essential item that always throws us for a loop?  The bathing suit cover up!  I have spent entire days driving from store to store trying to find the perfect cover up that was practical, affordable, flattering, and PRETTY!

Well look no further!  The classic Pareo is the perfect beach cover up.  Easily transforming from dress to skirt, this versatile wrap is lightweight, figure-flattering, and extremely convenient.  Made with wrinkle-free stretch gauze fabric, our Solid Black Summer Pareo is the perfect accessory to pack for a cruise, a vacation at the beach, or to simply wear around the pool!   Take a look, and happy shopping!

Sports for Girls

May 23rd, 2011

It’s always been kind of a bummer for me that there isn’t much of a market for feminine sports apparel and accessories.  Girls love sports, too!  If it weren’t for Alissa Milano, we’d all still be wearing our significant other’s oversized jerseys and baseball caps.

So at the suggestion of my good friend who happens to be a fan of the Yankees and the Steelers, I set out to make these Custom, Stylish Sports Team Bracelets.

Any team, any colors, custom made with your preferences!  Each bracelet is personalized with cube block beads spelling out your team’s name. Depending on your team’s colors, we try to use real semi-precious stones and/or sparkling Czech glass beads to make your bracelet fun, yet stylish and pretty.

Pittsburgh Steelers bracelet featuring Onyx beads, Blackstone nuggets, canary yellow Czech glass beads, and a lobster clasp.
Boston Red Sox bracelet featuring White Howlite round beads, accented with navy blue and ruby red glass beads with a toggle clasp.

Fun Retro Gaming Jewelry!

May 19th, 2011

We have a confession to make.  While we pride ourselves in making beautiful, elegant, handmade jewelry for all occasions, we also LOVE to create pieces that reflect our nostalgia for the things we grew up with.  So when I realized one evening that I could recreate 3-dimensional PacMan characters out of my polymer clay, there was no turning back!  I went to my master bathroom for inspiration- because, yes- I am nearly 30 years old and I have a PacMan themed bathroom.  I am FUN.  Once I made the PacMan and Ms. PacMan figures, my brain started moving towards Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde.  By the end of the night, I had the entire PacMan world in my kitchen!  These have been some of our best sellers ever since.

You can find these adorable pieces in our shop, along with some other vintage gaming items such as our Scrabble Tile rings- a big seller for bachelorette parties!
