Craft and Gossip. Host Jewelry Parties?

How about Hosting a Jewelry Party with Friends?

Get a group of girlfriends together and share ideas on jewelry making. Host a party at your house, provide cheese and wine, and everyone can sit around the table with supplies, dangling wire, and an assortment of beads. Handcraft gold hoop earrings, minimalist wire jewelry, necklaces, silver rings, or stainless steel bracelets. Add colorful charms or painted beads to ultra thin wire. Learn to use minimalist wire to create ultra thin jewelry.   

What about show and tell? 

Share your latest projects with each other, demonstrate how to mold polymer clay, paint beads, or bend wire. Try it as a game, go around the room one by one and show off your handmade crafts. The best part is everyone has a turn to show off stylish knitted sweaters, socks, baby blankets, hats, scarves and more. Who doesn't like to brag about their crafting ability or special handmade jewelry?

Think of jewelry parties as knitting clubs where women gather together to knit, talk gossip, and eat. Who doesn't love spilling the beans about their coworkers, in-laws, or husbands? 

Add a potluck to make it more fun. Everyone can bring a dish to pass, dig in and don't forget the cheesecake! If everything goes well, host another party and make it a monthly get together.

Jewelry Humor Quotes

Special post for fashion and jewelry lovers. You might enjoy these humor quotes:



Intro - Who Am I?

WHAT IS ICKYNICKS?
Ickynicks is an online jewelry shop that specializes in Ultra Thin Jewelry. 

WHAT DO YOU CREATE?
We handcraft unique hoops, earrings, gauge earrings, ear cuffs, and bracelets. We make jewelry in gold, sterling silver, and stainless steel. 

IS ICKYNICKS JEWELRY MADE IN THE USA?
All of our jewelry items are handcrafted in the United States. We do not design anything that we would not wear ourselves. In fact, we typically make the first design or prototype and test it out on family, friends and co-workers.

WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND 'ICKYNICKS'?
"The Ickynicks website is named in honor of the many wonderful women who have influenced my life. My Aunt Nancy was my first and only aunt to go to college. She graduated with a Master's Degree in Languages and then taught high school Spanish. While my Aunt Nancy was attending Kent State University, she and her three girlfriends tried to join on-campus girls' clubs and sororities, but were rejected by all of them. Feeling isolated and shunned, these four young women fought back by creating their own club and called themselves, the Ickynicks. The purpose of their club was to travel outside the United States. These four adventurous young women traveled to South America, Europe and Canada during their college years."
