Custom Earrings for Blogging Workshop Gifts
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of creating a collection of custom earrings for the Garter Girl’s Blog Your Own Business Workshop. Juli (a.k.a. The Garter Girl) asked me to create these simple modern earrings as a special gift for her to give to her attendees.
It was my first time making jewelry for a workshop gift as well as my first time attending a small business workshop. I had a blast learning to blog more effectively for my custom and modern jewelry business and am excited to share photos of my work and of the event with you all today!
The Packaging
As I always do for custom jewelry orders, I wrapped each pair of custom earrings in a hand-stamped drawstring muslin bag placed inside a paper box with a satin ribbon. Since the workshop was at the studio of Marigold & Grey – home of the bow-tying ninjas – I knew my ribbon bows had to be on point! I was over the moon when M&G founder Jamie gave me her stamp of approval.
The Custom Earrings
I knew these custom earrings would be given to women with a variety of personal tastes. For this reason, it was important that the earrings I created were simple and versatile enough to match a wide range of styles. I chose to base the design off of the earrings from my Sweet Sentiments jewelry set from my pre-designed collection which features white Swarovksi pearls and Swarovski crystals in pink, emerald green, turquoise, or clear.
The Event
After Juli carefully laid the wrapped boxes of earrings around the room at the attendees’ seats, it was time to get to work and learn! The BYOB Workshop was a perfect mix of intensive learning, interactive workbook materials, expert guest speakers, and well-timed breaks with delicious food in an atmosphere that encouraged students to network with one another. The spirit of the room was one of community, genuine friendship, and mutual learning. As an attendee myself, I was especially impressed by the caliber and amount of knowledge that Juli was able to pack into one day of learning!
The Celebration
At the end of the workshop, we concluded the event with my favorite type of celebration: a champagne toast! You better believe I enjoyed every sip of that bubbly!
The Swag Bags
Juli sent all of her attendees home with a treasure trove of swag, both practically useful and purely for our enjoyment (custom cookies anyone?!). I was honored and proud to have my custom earrings be the focal point of the gifts she chose to give to her students.

Custom Wedding Jewelry: Matt + Katrina TEASER!
Happy Friday, friends! Things have been pretty busy in my corner of the universe this week, so it’s been a bit quiet here on the blog. But I just got a new batch of photos from a wedding that I made custom jewelry for this summer and had to give you a glimpse! Today’s post is just a teaser; the full post will come next week.
Have a great weekend! I’ll be enjoying mine in Philadelphia, reuniting with a bunch of college girlfriends/soulmates. It’s just what the doctor ordered. See you all next week!

Tassel Bar Launch Party
Welcome to the Tassel Bar
At the J’Adorn Designs signature Tassel Bar event, you get to play the role of designer and build the perfect pair of tassel earrings. Or two or three… we won’t judge!
Last month, in early February, we launched our first ever Tassel Bar event. This fun pop-up event is one that we are hoping to bring to our stockist locations and other local boutiques this spring and summer (and beyond).
So, if you’re a local business owner (think: boutique, salon, studio, coffee shop, etc.), TAKE NOTES! We want to partner with you and bring this fun and colorful experience to your venue.
Never designed jewelry before? Don’t worry, we’ve made it easy for you!
- Take a design sheet
- Choose your tassel color
- Choose your gemstone bead (or beads)
- Choose your earlier preference
- Bring your design sheet to Ali or Betsy
- Check out with your order
- Your custom tassel earrings will arrive (free of shipping charges) on your doorstep
For future events, we are working towards building the earrings on-site, so that those who place their orders early enough in the event will be able to take theirs home that day! Of course, building the tassels you design takes time and care, and if we’ve got a queue of orders, we may not be able to fill them all during the event. The early girl gets the jewels, as they say!
We’ve blogged about our Tassel Collections before in the spring and fall of last year, but this Tassel Bar Event is something totally brand new.
Our Launch Event boasted a complimentary lip-color bar (complete with professional makeup artist), several kinds of bubbly, chocolates and a photo booth.
These tassels just inspire FUN. So, you can be sure that any future Tassel Bar event is going to be packed with exciting experiences!
In addition to our Tassel Table, this event featured a pop-up of our other jewelry collections, too. Our druzies are always so loved and we were happy to show off some of our newest designs!
Can you spy the new WHITE DRUZIES with rose quartz drops?
(Of course you can, how can you miss them?!)
Also, those Lemon Quartz Branch Earrings are another fan-favorite. And be sure to stay tuned to our social channels… you may see them popping up in a couple new colors soon!
Have a special color you’d like to see them in? Let us know in the comments OR contact us here!
With spring just around the corner, our bright and cheerful tassels have us dreaming about warm, dusky evenings and blooming flora. And, wedding season, of course!
We’ve recently had a couple spring bridal clients place orders for tassel earrings to gift to their bridesmaids (umm… best brides EVER!). Consider us your one-stop-shop for adding all the finishing touches to your wedding look AND celebrating the best friends who’ll be standing with you on your big day.
So, stay tuned for lots more Tassel Bar events popping up in Central Maryland (and the eastern shore) this year.
Don’t live nearby? No sweat! We’ve got lots of beautiful tassel earrings in our online jewelry shop. And if you don’t see the color combination you’re dreaming of, let us know. We take the “custom” part of our brand very seriously!
And, local business owners, let’s work together to bring the fun to your venue! There are perks in it for you, too… just ask us!
