Handcrafted jewelry artists Debbie and Diane are friends and mothers who have been through good and bad times together, but the jewelry business they have built together is a total delight… literally! Total Delights sells handcrafted jewelry that is both beautiful and unique at the same time.

The Total Delights website is an amazing online jewelry store filled with all sorts of handcrafted bead jewelry of any type imaginable. Their work is top notch and they use quality materials such as lots of Swarovski crystals, semi-precious and precious gemstones and Sterling silver wire and clasps. Their jewelry store is broken out into logical categories such as necklaces, bracelets and pendants. They have a section for holiday jewelry, teen jewelry and even jewelry where the proceeds go to raise awareness of Leukemia and Lymphoma on Haley’s and the Awareness pages.

Their site is a total delight (sorry, can’t help myself) to explore and shop on, too! They have great photos of every jewelry piece they offer, there are plenty of explanations and descriptions of each piece and I love the way they describe the properties and powers believed to held by different gemstones. One unique aspect of their store is the “Sold Gallery” where they feature customer raves and photos of pieces they’ve sold in the past. I think that’s a great idea and one which not many jewelry websites are featuring.

Besides having an amazing selection of jewelry and resources at their online store, they also have a Total Delights blog which they’ve been running for over a year now. They update pretty regularly with photos and blog entries and all sorts of great things journal entries about making jewelry.

I’ve saved the best for last: Total Delights now has a monthly jewelry contest where you can enter to win a piece of jewelry! All you have to do is visit the website and enter, but please shop around and buy something if it catches your eye… You never know… that beautiful piece of bead jewelry you saw today might be in the “Sold Gallery” tomorrow!
