This is my favorite part of the boutique, it is what makes me unique as a store owner and what makes Cela Creations so special, unique and dear to my heart. Most people know that I offer beading classes and private beading parties. Everyone knows that I sell beads, by the strand and singly. But I don't think everyone knows that I make my own pieces, not just for custom orders, but I also design and create my own unique, one of a kind, pieces of jewelry.
My lifelong passion has been creating jewelry. I love to bead and spend a lot of time doing it. Creating a piece of jewelry is a true art and each of my pieces has a part of my personality and passion mixed in. I started Cela Creations out of my home, selling unique pieces that I had created to friends and family members. I did custom orders at the time but mostly people just loved to come see what I had and choose a piece they loved. Ten years later is when I opened this boutique in La Grange. It has given me the opportunity to be both a jewelry maker and purchaser. I sell my own unique creations and things that I have found through my travels. The boutique has helped me realize that jewelry in every form is my passion.
I want to share some of my hand made, one of a kind, creations with you. These pieces are all available at the boutique as well!
This grey pearl necklace is one of my favorite designs I have in the store at this time. It is trendy and classic at the same time. A very elegant piece it was created with a lot of detail and care.
This necklace was made with a unique polyester silk chain and a clover clasp. The large stone in the middle is a smokey quartz and there are also some fine quality aquamarine stones used.
These are two of my favorite necklaces. I wear them with everything and they always look good. They are both made with leather lacing. The tan necklace is made with fresh water white pearls that are 12-14 mm. The black necklace is made with fresh water peacock pearls, a very unusual color, and they are also 12-14mm.
This necklace is also one of my favorites. It is made with a slice agate as the focal point, hand wire wrapped peruvian opals and an oxydized silver chain. I had the peruvian opals for a while and wasn't sure what to use them with. They are so special and I wanted a really good idea for what to do with them. I found this sliced agate and knew immediately that this was what to put with the opals. It turned out to be such a unique and interesting piece and I love it!
Come by the boutique any time to see all of my original jewelry designs! I am so happy to be able to share them with all of my customers and friends!
