Men's Jewelry Survey & Gift Certificate Award

I am announcing a new men's jewelry survey where I would like to get the men opinion on the types of jewelry that they would buy and wear. The majority of my customers are those that purchase jewelry for men and I would like to know what they are most interested in the materials that I use to make my men's jewelry. I typically use the following combinations: one or two gemstone mixed with natural materials such as horn, shell and wood, two or three gemstones by themselves, wood with copper or other metals, silver with gemstones, or sterling or hill tribe silver with leather.

I enjoy coming up with unique designs that you will not find anywhere else but am also interested in what the male consumer would buy. This is where i am going to focus my jewelry designs. I also find that unique materials used in simple design also seems to appeal to some male customers, but I have also sold pieces that used several various gemstones, wood and copper that were used in a unique design that have sold as well. I am very excited about that as it does show that some are interested in my more unique designs !

This is why I would like your feedback and have created a survey in the right hand side of my blog. I am also offering a $5 gift certificate in a drawing for anyone that votes and sends me an email confirmation of their vote. I will pick a winner on the dates below for this gift certificate, after I have started receiving emails on my etsy site. The link to Lucid Jewelry Designs Etsy site is in the header of this post and below.

I encourage you to visit my etsy jewelry site to see some of the jewelry creations that are currently for sale and let me know which ones you like the best.

The first gift certificate drawing will take place as soon as I receive 5 emails from individuals that have voted and sent me an email to alucid93@comcast.net or to my Etsy account. A drawing will be done for each additional five to ten entrys that I receive for a $ 5 gift certificate ( discount ) in my shop. The discounts may NOT be used with any other offer or sale price.

Included in INCROWD Treasury this week

I am very happy to be included in the INCROWD Treasury this week by a fellow Indiana Etsy Team Member, SpiceofLife. My Carnelian Necklace has been featured in this treasury. I make womens jewelry but have also been making a lot more men's jewelry as this has been the large portion of my customers at work and the men also enjoy unique handcrafted jewelry too ! I will be making more different styles of men's jewelry as well.
While I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago I bought many new beads and have several new ideas for jewelry for both men and women and am just trying to find the time to sit down and work on these creations! I will also be fo cusing on making womens earrings as I have not added these to my Etsy store yet. But I will be working on earrings this weekend as I am happy to say I do not have to work at my full time job like I thought I was going to have to do. Yeah !!!

Created and Included in Treasuries This Week

Hello Everyone ! Happy first day of summer! It has been a busy two weeks since I have been on vacation and been back at work. My parents have been affected by the flooding with a break in the dam where they live which is also the road out of the lake for them. My work has also moved to a new building at the busiest time of the year for us. I have managed to create a treasury including some of my fellow JET Team members. Which I have included here, titled Cool Summery Greens and Blues that included Yart and Sale items. I will be running my Yart Sale through the 22nd to allow for weekend shoppers. Many items will still remain on sale for a while longer but not at the same prices, so now would be the best time to purchase!

I Am Featured In Two Treasuries This Week !

I am so happy to be included in two treasuries in the same week !!! My sodalite, pearl and moonstone necklace has been included in the treasury at this link...Beautiful Blues until Thursday at 1:45 PM I also have a screen shot below. Thanks Emotional Oasis for including me in your beautiful blues treasury !



My carnelian and cooper and red agate necklace was also included in this treasury
A Hive Full Of Honey for a limited time until Wednesday at 3:00 PM when it will expire. I have also included a screen shot below. Thanks Beadstyln for including me in your beautiful amber/orange treasury !


I also have a treasury of my own that I created this week. I got the inspiration for this treasury from a dream that I had about a year or two ago that has left me wondering hhhmmm...? premonition ? or just a dream ? Anyone who knows me know that I love all things Italian, food, wine, coffee, culture, gardens, the landscape and many more. Any way it is also a sort of virtual vacation for me this week !

Have a beautifully artful and inspirationally creative day !

New Treasury of Copper and Coral

Hello !!

Happy Memorial Day weekend !!! I am enjoying the sunshine and warm weather and decided to create a new treasury of warm summer sun colors of copper and coral. These are also my favorite colors to use in summer jewelry and have many personal peices that I have made for myself of these colors and given as a gift for Mother's Day.

You can view the treasury here on on the link in the title on the actual etsy web page location ( It's a bit bigger and easier to see ) until Tuesday evening when it will expire.

Have a warm and sunny and safe holiday weekend!

How Creative Are You ?

I have not had the opportunity to spend as much time on my jewelry lately and am working my way back to spending more time with it. I have taken the time to make a necklace as a gift for my nephew and his first communion gift and to re-size a watch for an Etsy sale that I made a couple of days ago. I have started a a couple of projects but keep finding myself being pulled away. Other outside factors have also been contributing to my creative flow...noise from a neighbors dog, and stress from a full time job. But I am very enthusiastic to get those creative juices flowing again. I have so many ideas and projects that I would like to get finished for the summer, so stay tuned. I found this quiz to be very appropriate for me right now.

Take this quiz to find out how creative you are ....

You Are 78% Creative

You are beyond creative. You are a true artist - even if it's not in the conventional sense of the word. You love creating for its own sake, and you find yourself quite inspired at times.

How Creative Are You?

All Things Made with Italian Love - Etsy Treasury

I finally got a treasury spot on Etsy!!!!
You can check out my list here at this link.... All Things Made With Italian Love
http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=40554

I love Italy and all things Italian so I just could not wait to get a treasury listing where I could list a few of my favorite items. There are a few other things that I was not able to post due to space limitations such as some of my favorite photographs of Italy, but I have "hearted" those items in my shop. As well as my favorite scent Promegrante soap, candles and wood fruit.


Please come and enjoy ! Somebody already ate the Tiramisu so I could not include that in my list !!!

My Interview and Feature on Kelly Malouf's Blog

Hello Everyone !!!

I am being featured on another bloggers page who features Etsy Artists. Please visit this link to see my interview and to get to know me better. Kelly Malouf features other Etsy Artisans on her blog to help promote other artists ! Thanks Kelly !

I have been working hard in my "free time" away from my full time job to promote my jewelry and it has consumed most of that time and I have not spent as much time as I would like in actually designing and creating jewelry, but I hope to get several pieces completed this weekend and listed on my Etsy store. I will also offer a "tax time" discount of 10% to anyone who mentions this discount if they purchase from my store. I found this to be fitting since I have to pay taxes this year since my employer did not take out enough !!!

Please visit this page often as I will be trying to post more often and will also offer special offers and discounts for people who read my page.

Thanks and have a great weekend !
