Mother's Day Gift Ideas for 2018 & Behind the Scenes at Risky Beads

Our Mother's Day order deadline is fast approaching! It's 5/3/18, aka this Thursday!! We haven't updated this blog in quite a while, so I thought I'd take some time to show you some new designs and to get you up to speed on what's been happening behind the scenes at Risky Beads!!


We've been BUSY!! 

During 2017 - to the present, we hired 2 more part time people, so we are now a 4 person operation. Our standalone website: riskybeads.com is getting a complete redesign, too! We've added several new fonts and symbols. And, Etsy also (finally) launched a tool to easily launch sales and promotions, so we've been busy having great deals, too! Here's our current sale thru 5/3, our Mother's Day order deadline:

We've also launched a new product line: Pocket Rocks & Pocket Coins which I am sooooo happy about. Lots of our customers wanted a way to treasure a special day, thought, or person without having to actually wear jewelry and/or have their sentiment be public. These rocks & coins are the perfect answer. Keep them in your pocket, your purse, by your bedside, or anywhere that you need that little reminder. Here's our best selling pocket rock so far:


We've also expanded the colors of our leather wrap bracelets! We've added navy blue, purple, red, soft pink, turquoise, and dark gray!


Okay, so now let's move on to some new designs for Mother's Day!! The first one is my new favorite! We use a cool heart texture to stamp the design and you can add up to 3 extra small hearts if needed.


For some, Mother's Day is bittersweet, so if Mom is dealing with a loss this year, here are a few remembrance options:




Let's finish with some more pieces on a happy note!

My Mother My Friend Key Chain (Alternate design)

And we would be remiss if we didn't mention some of our tried-and-true bestsellers: our 3 layer necklace, our 4 layer keychain, our gorgeous ribbon wrap bracelets, our name necklace, and our Mom bar key chain. We hope you'll stop by and take a peek at our new designs and remember that we're always here if you have questions!!
