Stylish Ways to Remember A Lost Pet

Image

Have you recently lost a pet, fur baby, four-legged partner, or dear friend? Having a memorial for your beloved pet can help with the healing and grieving processes. At Jenny Butterfield Designs, Jenny can create the perfect bereavement piece such as a charm bracelet, engraved charms to be worn on a necklace, or a bracelet from halter leather and sterling silver.

Why should you memorialize your four-legged partner? Memorializing your pet gives you the chance to honor your furry friend while capturing the memories you shared together. Focusing on positive memories and creating a tribute can help you work through what you are feeling. Still not sure what to do?

Jenny can use photos of your pet to create a picture charm. Jenny has even used pet’s favorite toys,  hand-written notes, and cremains.  Get started today and work with Jenny to create the right bereavement piece.

Oh, Where Did My Earring Go?

Image

This might sound ridiculous, but when we lose a piece of jewelry our world gets turned upside down.  Immediately our minds begin to race as we try to pinpoint when we lost our favorite earring. When a quick search of the surrounding area yields no results, then we start retracing our steps. This could include calling the gym, our friends, or any business we visited recently.

It can be discouraging when all the effort to find your missing jewelry yields no results. However, all is not lost. As a Master Jeweler, Jenny Butterfield can create a matching earring for you. Another option is to take the precious stone out of the remaining earring and put it into a new custom designed piece of jewelry. If you have several orphaned earrings, turn them into a charm necklace or bracelet. With Jenny Butterfield the design possibilities are endless.

Going Too Far With Engagement Ring Twists…

Image

Just call me Rip Van Winkle instead of Jenny Butterfield because somehow I missed the unusual trend of giving nose rings and engagement ring piercings instead of traditional engagement rings. As a Master Jewelry, I am disturbed by this unusual trend. Designing and creating custom jewelry for all occasions (including engagements and weddings) is my specialty.

Sorry, I have a hard time imagining the priceless look of delight when your special someone is down on one knee and presents a box with a nose ring while uttering “Will you marry me?”  I have an even harder time imagining the glee with which you would go to the local tattoo shop to pick out your engagement ring piercing and micro dermal anchors to hold it in place. Try not to bump or mess with the piercing for at least 3 to 6 months while it heals.

For the people who can’t wear jewelry or hate the idea of an engagement ring, before you resort to body piercings, let me create the perfect piece of wall art.  That’s right, as an artisan and Master Jeweler, I help my clients express their love, joy, sorrow, and happiness through different mediums including art and jewelry. Visit jennybutterfield.com to see all of my work. I love to hear all your jewelry stories and experience, so please email them to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

No Way…Isn’t Valentine’s Day Still A Few Months Away?

Image

It feels like we just celebrated Christmas and New Years a few days ago. Hard to believe, but Valentine’s Day is only two weeks away. No need to panic or rush out to buy a “This will have to do” type of present.  Sure you could get by with the traditional card, flowers and chocolates, but why not give your special someone a nice piece of jewelry that evokes tears of joy and lasts for generations.

You might be asking yourself, where would I find this jewelry you speak of and how much is this going to cost me? I would personally recommend visiting jennybutterfield.com and perusing the different jewelry types and collections. All the jewelry pieces are custom designed and hand crafted by me, your very own personal Master Jeweler, Jenny Butterfield.

Still not sure what to select, shop by occasion and find the perfect necklace, earrings, bracelet or ring. If you do not see something you like, then Jenny will work with you to design and create the perfect piece of jewelry from scratch or from existing pieces of jewelry.  Better hurry up, Valentine’s Day is almost here.

Jenny loves to hear from you so send your favorite jewelry story or questions to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

Wear Your Jewelry Comfortably and Confidently

Image

The engagement ring trends for 2020 have been announced. Women have started leaving subtle hints about stone size, cut, clarity, and band metal choices. A word of caution… before spending money on a ring, make sure it will fit the demands of your everyday life. Too often we get caught up in how amazing the jewelry looks online or in the magazine. When in reality, the ring is too fragile or cumbersome for everyday wear.

Whether your favorite jewelry is a ring, necklace, bracelet or earring, those pieces are meant to be worn every day instead of stored in a safe or jewelry box.  This is why the pieces of jewelry designed by Jenny Butterfield Designs are wear-tested to make sure they are durable for all-day wear. Are you ready to invest in beautiful custom jewelry that is built to last and designed to go with you wherever your busy life takes you?

Take a moment to look at all the amazing handmade jewelry pieces offered by Jenny Butterfield at jennybutterfield.com. OR have a design in mind, but don’t know what to do next? Work with Jenny and design your own custom piece today!

Safely Remove Dirty, Yucky, Jewelry Germs

Image

Cold and flu season are in full swing and people are scrambling to disinfect everything in sight except for their jewelry. With the time demands of work, spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends, children, school, sports, church, etc., keeping our jewelry clean and disinfected isn’t on our radar.

A simple and effective way to remove the dirt and germs from your rings, watch, necklace claps, and earrings is to use a solution of anti-bacterial liquid soap and warm water (not hot water). Rings and earrings can be soaked in the solution for 15 to 20 min. Watch bands and necklace claps can be dipped into the solution for a few minutes. After dipping or soaking in the solution, all jewelry pieces should be rinsed with warm water and dried with a soft cloth.

Overcoming Holiday Jewelry Mishaps…

Image

Hours were spent researching and locating the perfect piece of jewelry for your best friend, girlfriend, wife, mother, aunt, sister, or grandmother. However, the less than enthusiastic response when they received the earrings, necklace, bracelet, pendant, or ring has you second guessing your gift choice.

What now? Do you guilt them into wearing the piece of jewelry just to make you happy? The correct response would be “no.”  Should you just accept the fact the jewelry will never see the light of day again? The correct response again is “no.”

Instead, let Jenny help you turn a negative reaction into a positive one. Email a photo of the jewelry along with what the person was looking for to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.  As a Master Jeweler, Jenny Butterfield can give you ideas on how to redesign and transform the jewelry piece into something more desirable. Let Jenny Butterfield be your own, personal Santa this holiday season. She would love to help.

Why Holiday Jewelry Holds Special Meaning

Tis the season to shop for jewelry, and the perfect opportunity for you to show your loved one that you are listening, you care, and you want to bring a smile to his or her face. To accomplish this task, do not randomly select holiday jewelry. Instead remember this should be a unique gift that was thoughtfully considered with your chosen person in mind.

Why does holiday jewelry hold a special meaning? Because jewelry is so special, it frames moments in time. Women will remember when a necklace, bracelet, earrings, pendant, or ring was given to them and where it came from. Looking to score brownie points with mom? Give her a gorgeous piece of jewelry and become the soon-to-be favorite child.

Still need the perfect jewelry gift, check out the unique Jenny Butterfield collections. Not seeing anything that speaks to you, work with Jenny Butterfield to design and create a custom piece of jewelry. Have a great jewelry story or question, email them to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.

What’s the Hurry?

Why are people so quick to throw away long standing wedding traditions such as purchasing an engagement ring from a jeweler versus getting one from a vending machine? Or getting married in front of friends and family versus getting married in the jewelry store in front of complete strangers?  Yes, you heard me correctly. A box jewelry store chain is now offering to marry you in their store after you purchase your wedding rings from them.

I’m sure when you were little your dream wedding entailed standing in the mall in front of complete strangers and reciting vows of marriage.  I’m not trying to pass judgement. I truly believe everyone has the right to choose the people present and the location where they want to commit to spending the rest of their lives together.  Having an amazing wedding does not require an extravagant budget.

Having an amazing engagement ring or wedding ring does not require a massive budget either. As a master jeweler, my goal is to help you express your love for your spouse and commitment to each other with an amazing and affordable piece of jewelry. Jenny Butterfield Designs offers the option to purchase a ring from our collection or to design a customized ring. Visit jennybutterfield.com to view our jewelry pieces by type, occasion or collection.  Please email your jewelry questions to jenny@jennybutterfield.com.
