Hi! I'm a newbie...can I join the swap? Sandra

will watch this swap. :-)

will watch this swap. :-)

@scmartins Please fill out your profile! Check out a few of the people you see around to get an idea of what to add. I have this pushed back a month so you can feasibly complete 3 swaps and get rated before the signup deadline. If not I will definitely push the sign up date back...

I'm joining! Woo hoo!

newbies join??

I've edited the swap to reflect anything about newbies. Also, I prefer necklaces 16-18" long!

great swap/ i like all kind of jewlerry/ little earing' big necklace .like it longgg.also special big rings. like colors of blew. great. brown and pink/ anything will be fine. thanks.

Thank you for creating a swap geared to handmade jewelry. I have seen a few saying dollar store was ok, but handmade was not. I will have completed 3 swaps in a couple of days, and I should have ratings by the sign up deadline. I have it on watch until I get the ratings.

Yeah I'm tired of dollar store jewelry swaps...C'mon my stuff is WAAAAY better than that!! lol So yes, as soon as you get your ratings please join!! The more the merrier!

Some preferences...I wear gold more than silver, prefer jewelry that is very different than my own (wire work or pmc or resin or !!!). I don't wear earrings, but a bracelet (7.5-8") or necklace (17-18") would be nice. Nothing plastic - you can check out my etsy shop and etsy favorites for some ideas. Please contact me if you need more info.

This is fantastic! I too am dismayed by the "cheap, dollar store, no handemade" swaps. Handmade, even if not by yourself is much better than the mass produced ***p! Thankyou for setting this swap up!

me--I'm a jewelry junkie lol

I so want to join this - I am a little intimidated but will just say a quick prayer that I get a partner who likes what I make.

I am really excited about this swap -- I LOVE handmade jewelry!!! . I do not wear earrings, but a necklace (20" or longer) or bracelet (9") would be wonderful! Yes, those measurements are correct -- I am 6 foot tall and built much more like my 6' 6" father than my 5' 5" mother! Oh, and my big clumsy arthritic fingers would much prefer toggle clasps or magnetic clasps if at all possible -- THANKS!!!

Great swap idea :o) I still have find out my measurements in inches, but you can count me in.

I would prefer either earrings or a bracelet... I rarely wear necklaces.

I am sooo watching this swap. I am a newbie but would have made the grade by feb/march. My stuff is already on etsy so I hope someone will like my style; I'm just getting into vintage style jewellery. I'll be back... ;)

Yay! I wear more silver than gold, and would prefer a necklace, as I don't usually wear bracelets and don't have pierced ears...

I like silver color metal best, but copper or gold or gunmetal or just about any tone would be fine if you don't have silver stuff! I like beads and wire, resin, domino and slide pendants. I like a wide variety of jewelry types and I have pierced ears, so earrings, a necklace or a bracelet would be fine!! My favorite color is purple, but I also like green, blue and black (those are just my top ones, again--I don't want to be too picky and make people go out and buy new supplies when you can use your stash!).

My profile has some more info, and I don't mind if you used recycled parts from broken jewelry either. I just love handmade stuff!!

Oh--another note--I do have sensitive skin, so if you send me earrings I would appreciate if they were sterling silver finding (or coated). Thanks!

Hi! I'd love to join! I just started beading actually and have made a few great things! I like braclets and necklaces only, no earrings please. I'm easy, I like blues because I wear a lot of blue jeans! Nothing gaudy please, I don't wear much so when I do it's just a little something!

Thank you to all who have joined my swap!! I think this will be a wonderful swap!!

To everyone: I will start the process of screening participants today, and will ban anyone deemed inappropriate tomorrow.

I love any handmade jewelry! I would love a bracelet the best but it must be 7", and no bangels please, I have yet to find one that I can slip my hand through ;_;. As for necklaces it would have to be 18" min. That would be a choker for me and since I wear a collar 24/7 then I wouldn't get to wear it often. And I have 7 piercings to fill so earring are always appreciated! I can't wait to start making something!

I'm looking forward to swapping--have some ideas, but waiting for my partner...my own preference is for earrings (pierced ears) or bracelet (7-8 inches long). Thanks for hosting this swap!!

I love ^^ handmade jewelry!

Some preferences:

• earrings (love love) or
• or bracelet (7-8 inches long)

Thanks!!!!

This is a great idea for a swap, I hope you do it again, I don't thinkn I'll have 3 ratings in time :o(

I can't wait to get started!! I'd really prefer earrings (pierced ears). I never wear bracelets, and I hardly ever wear necklaces, but if you're more of a necklace making kind of person, you may surprise me with a special one, still, I'l more likely use earrings (never walk out of my door without those... I mostly like big earrings , ethnic looking ('im not sure if you can say that in english...) Please no pastel colors, I would deffinately prefer natural shades of green, brown-yellowish, or metals.... Buy still- feel free to surprise me with something else you think I might like. Thanks!

I can't wait to send the jewellery that I have made using swarovski beads which are expensive to buy as they are real crystal. :)

Hi, I would like anything antique metal, copper or brass....no gold please....other than that anything goes !!!

I wear lots of earrings (pierced) and necklaces (any lenght). Bracelets less.

I prefer silver to gold. I prefer dark colors, dislike pastels.

• I like longer necklaces..

• I wear earrings, mainly in my upper holes (I have 14 gauge in lower), but sometimes I wear dangling in with my gauges...

• I do wear bracelets, but not all that often...

• I prefer metal and glass... no plastic please!

• Colors: blue, teal, green, yellow, white, black, pink, teal, brown and silver... I'm NOT big on gold or pastels...

• I love pendants in any shape or size! (I'm a fan of scrabble tiles)

Just a few notes, to my partner...

I have stretched ears, so no earrings, please.

I'm really into bracelets & necklaces & pendants.

<3 black & dark grey.

not a fan of gold at all.

<3 the oxidized look.

I usually wear my necklaces short, 18" max.

I tend to wear my jewelry nonstop, so something that is fairly strong and water resistant would be great.

I have a ton of jewelry on my Etsy favorites, just in case you're in need of some ideas of what I'd wear.

I'm excited for this swap =D I prefer silver to gold (though steampunk jewelry usually uses gold or brass, if you decide to try that style). I mostly wear earrings (I have 3 piercings in each ear plus a helix piercing in my right ear), but I would also appreciate a necklace if that is what you would rather make. =D I don't really wear bracelets. I really like elegant looking jewelry. I really like blues and purples, though I'm okay with most colors. Please be creative because I'm sure I'll love whatever you make. <3

Okay, partners are now assigned!! Have fun making your creations!!

Love both braclets and necklaces....wear alot of black.....always silver for me...never gold!

I like all kinds of jewelry but rarely wear pins or brooches. :)

I'm excited about this swap. I will be thrilled with whatever I receive. I wear jewelry daily...prefer silver to gold but I have clothes that gold would look great with. I have pierced ears.

Hi, I would like anything antique metal, copper or brass....no gold-plated please....other than that anything goes !!! Love long necklaces I'm okay with most colors, so please feel free to go all creative because I'm sure I'll love it. No bangles or braclets, just dont wear them.

PS MissMayhem if ever you need a share angel for this swap, I'm quite happy to step up.

I love earrings any kind

When you're looking for something that stands out, there’s nothing like a beautiful piece of jewelry to complete your look. From statement necklaces to delicate earrings, you can find something for any occasion. It’s about more than just style; it’s about creating memories with timeless pieces.
