Welcome to S.Leigh Jewelry!
New name for the shop with all the jewelry, formerly known as Crafty Welches and Crafty Welches Jewelry for a short time.
Everything here was handmade by a Texas grandma with a lifetime of experience at making all sorts of crafty things. I was taught by my beautiful mother, her mom and her mom's mom and also by my dad's mom and his "big little" brother how to cross stitch, crochet, quilt, and do a wide variety of other crafts. I even helped my grandmas make bonnets to sell at the flea market once upon a long time ago.
Learning to make chainmaille was sort of a happy accident for me. I went searching for crochet earring inspiration and I came across some shaggy loops earrings someone else had made and to make a long story super short, I caught the chainmaille bug. There are a very wide variety of weaves represented here so I hope you will take a moment to browse through all the photos I took of things I have made and maybe help me out and go to eBay and take some of my chainmaille home with you so I can hurry up and make some more.
A whole lot of shaggy loops earrings can be found here, most with little glass seed beads and a few without. There will also be other kinds of beads like glass teardrops, multi-faceted rondelle beads, little stars and many more that will be added very soon. Most of the items you will see here are available on sleighjewelry's eBay with a few exceptions for already sold pieces and others that were made as gifts for friends and family. For every item that is available on eBay, there will be a link under the picture to the eBay listing and in many/most cases there will also be a link to see the item on Pinterest. For beaded items, clicking on the color name will open a page showing you everything on this site in that color and all of the matching links. Each page has a list of the weave names that you can click on to see all of the things I have that use that weave. Basically there are clickable links all over this site that do a lot of neat things and were a pain in my rear and took forever for me to make so please go clickin' crazy and make me believe it was all worth it.... haha ;)
Like and follow me on facebook, eBay and/or Pinterest to see all the newest pretty things when they are added!
