It's Summer Time and This New Coral Ring is IN!

2013-07-16T09:41:00.000-07:00

One of my latest pieces is this lovely rich Red Coral Cryptonite Ring. Handcrafted using Brass Wire and a beautifully unique shaped Coral Nugget, this beautiful ring is the perfect addition to any fashionista's jewelry collection. It adds just the perfect touch of sass to spice up any casual or formal outfit. This is a limited edition (1 of 15 coral rings worldwide), available in either silver or brass, please specify ring size and metal choice when ordering. Coral stones have a vivacious distinctive texture, color, and shape. Nature is really a marvelous thing.

Wow Summer is here and it's Hotter than ever! It's officially time for maxi dresses, shorts, wedged sandals, large floppy hats, and BBC's (Big Bold Colors). I just love this time of year, I adore looking at the way people express themselves through fashion.
If this ring speaks to you, head over to etsy and place your order TODAY!

LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Snap Belt 1 1/2"

2013-02-18T09:39:00.001-08:00

NEW!

LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Belt 1 1/2"

The beginning of the espresso leather snap belt!

Aingeel Z would like to introduce you to our newest addition, the LUXE COLLECTION. We are so proud to launch this new collection; quality has always been our forte and it is with great pleasure we present to you this hide with such great eminence. It is durable, soft, bold and beautiful. You will find that with years of wear that the edges will not fray but will become more rounded, also the characteristics of the leather will increase. The colors become richer and deeper. Natural wearing, scratches, and wrinkles will become a part of the individual personality of the leather.

LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Belt 1 1/2"
This Espresso chocolate leather is of the Highest quality I have found to date. It is butter soft yet very durable. I hand selected this distinctive chocolate hide and it is absolutely beautiful. Using the finest quality materials is a mission here at Aingeel-Z. A notable benefit of this leather is, it's "pull-up" (when pulled tight or folded it produces a brilliant burst of color), which is an indication of it's remarkable character. This belt will age beautifully.

Hand Made locally within the USA, this belt can be interchanged with any buckle 1 1/2" or larger, and is a perfect fit for the Agate Buckles found in this shop.

Leather Snap Belts Cont'd......'Cherry Cola' Leather

2012-11-27T13:00:00.000-08:00

As promised, just in time for the Holidays, the NEW 'Cherry Cola' Leather Snap Belt is here. I Found this sensational leather hidden on the bottom shelf of a factory in Queens! Read all about my trip HERE. I fell in LOVE instantly, and hope you will enjoy the characteristics of this leather as much as I do.

This 'Cherry Cola' premium quality leather snap belt is very durable. Using the finest quality materials is a mission here at Aingeel-Z. With a burgundy finish and "pull-up" to the grain, the benefit is that it will wear beautifully over time. "Pull-up" is the burst of brilliant color that is shown when you pull or fold the leather. The more you wear, the better it looks.

Hand Made locally within the USA, the dimensions are 1 1/2 inch wide and it is interchangeable with any buckle 1 1/2 inches or larger. Sizes range from xs-xl. For more sizing info please click on the link below.

I wanted to take some time to express my thoughts, send some light, and lift up prayers for those suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. New York and surrounding East Coast areas experienced first hand the devastation that Natural disasters can create. Although I am based in Brooklyn, I was relatively unaffected by 'Sandy', but am humbled by the magnitude of the loss of many. It will take a while for us all to rebuild, until then lets remember to be compassionate in these times.

Peace,

Natural, Espresso, and Cranberry Leathers

Today on my long To-Do-List included picking up "belting leather" from a leather supplier. It was quite the trek, me pulling my pulley cart through 3 boroughs - 3 train lines to get to this place. Once I was there the Smell of leather alone, let me know I was at home.

There were so many guys there helping me that I felt sorta like the Queen of the leather world. Chivalry is certainly not dead. I ended up purchasing 3 skins which are really thick and weight a ton!!! The leather ripped my rolley cart so, I ended up taking a cab back home, but the trip was well worth the $33 cab ride back to my home studio in Brooklyn.

These skins above will be converted into Aingeel-Z Leather Snap Belts like the ones pictured below. Recently the Med and Large size belts sold out! But don't fret, they should be relisted soon on www.aingeelz.com and www.etsy.com/aingeelz Stay tuned.

Renegade Craft Fair LA 2012 Recap!!!

2012-08-06T15:36:00.002-07:00

Should we talk about the wonderful dancers first. This group of dancers blessed us with their traditional dance at Renegade Craft Fair LA 2012. It was so beautiful, from the feathers to the music. I was happy to experience them.

Along with the dancers I had a couple of customers who were the highlight of the fair!!! The first was a little lady by the name of Micaela (I hope I'm getting the name right). She was so cool, and way mature for her age. She came by and instantly complimented me on my display, and I quote ''I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING SET-UP, I LOVE CRYSTALS''. Micaela, had me at Hello (lol). She was doing some shopping before she came to me, so she was on a tight budget but wanted to purchase something. Since she liked stones I dug around my extra materials for something special. Micaela picked her stone and allowed me to take a picture of her. She by far made my day. I don't think I will ever forget her.

Another highlight was the appearance of Miss Paula White. Her enthusiasm for my work is so encouraging and contagious. I appreciate the kind words and patronage. Thanks Paula!!

Another lovely lady wast the rocking DJ that stopped by all bubbly and lovely, so much so I had to capture her doing her thing. Music was provided by KXLU 88.9FM LA

Aingeel-Z Jewelry and Accessories was at booth 94 this year. My Booth displays are always a source of great ~~trepidation~~ thought for me. I always want to make it "better' than it was the previous year. If i'm honest it is only slightly better each time (boooo). The good thing is that I always get a ton of complements on it. I mean, folks just stop and linger sometimes starring at each and every detail. Which I welcome, since I put a lot of thought, sweat, and tears into it. My hope is that it is not too decorated...you know that 'look but don't touch feel'. I would hate to send that message. What do you think about my display?

A big CONGRATULATION to our Mailing-list Winner Alyssa Nelson.

Thank You All for coming out to support!

Until next year,

BATTLE of Jewelry Maker inventory programs

2012-02-01T23:40:00.000-08:00

Hi all,

I am super excited about all of the great energy this New Year is bringing! The theme so far, is money, money management, efficiency, and all that is small business related. I have been in search for a software-accounting-inventory system that would work for my #smallbusiness needs. After years of eyeing JEWELRY DESIGNER MANAGER I have finaly ruled it out. It seems perfect in many ways. They have multiple editions depending on your needs (including a craft edition)!!!!! Being that I am a die hard Mac user, I would have to run parallels or boot camp in order to use it. I wanted it so badly, that I even purchased bootcamp. However it took up space on my hardrive, and I still needed to buy a windows operating system + microsoft office. And that my friends was cost prohibitive for me.

Soooooooooo I did some research and purchased BEAD MANAGER PRO! It is Mac & Windows compatible. It was only $160 (with tax), and came with a lot of SWAG (aka free stuff). Part of the Swag included a Jewelry Business Free tips ebook which you can also get for Free if you visit their Facebook page. The features seem comparable to the Jewelry Designer Manager program mentioned above. I even like Bead Manager Pro's interface.

Since I just purchased it tonight, and can't wait to play with it, I will update you soon on the ins and outs of this program as well as others I have used on a trial basis.

Until next time,

KEEP CREATING!!!!!!!!!!!!
