Customized Jewelry With A Personal Touch
Finding the perfect piece of jewelry for yourself or as a gift can be difficult. Now a First Coast Trend is making it possible to buy jewelry made just for you.
Making your own jewelry is becoming very popular. But for those people who don't have the time or don't have the creative touch, you can have personal jewelry made at an affordable price.
Danielle Blumenberg of "db Designs" is just one First Coast Woman making the custom jewels, but her designs have a foreign flair at a good price.
"I really try to design and create affordable custom jewelry that is one of a kind," says Danielle Blumenberg. "I want the jewelry to be as unique as each individual that will wear it."
Blumenberg gives her bracelets and necklaces a personal touch by meeting with each person and letting them custom pick each bead and each aspect of the jewelry. She remembers one husband who took hours to pick just the right pieces. "This man must have loved his wife so incredibly much because for a necklace and earrings he spent three hours with me hand picking every single detail and component of the jewelry," says Blumenberg.
Her business started by just making necklaces for herself but then her neighbors started asking if she could make similar pieces for them too. Blumenberg says the business just took off from there.
Blumenberg uses handmade Venetian and Murano glass imported from Italy. Each bead is handmade by wrapping a base bead with 24k white gold, yellow gold or sterling silver. Then the artist form the outer layer by wrapping the bead in brightly colored glass. "Each bead is in itself a work of art because everyone is different," says Blumenberg.
