A new pendant line is here! All pendants come with a tiny silver plated ball chain that secures with a cute lobster clasp. They all come in lots of great colors, too! Pendants are great because they allow you to wear chainmaille in a more subtle way. A full chain necklace like this one is a statement, and sometimes you need something simple to wear around every day.

These are the first two. The above image is of the Rose Pendant. The below pendant is Byzanclean, which is a weave I invented. Lots more designs will be added soon, so be sure to check back. :)

This week is Bracelet Week at www.redpandajewelry.com! I’ll be uploading a brand new bracelet design every day this week. You can find a link to the new bracelets on the home page, in the navigational bar on the right, under “New Items”.

Also, to make things interesting, take 20% off all orders including a bracelet. Use coupon code bracelet20 at checkout, as long as your order includes at least one bracelet. Valid this week only, through March 6th, 2010. The 20% off discount also includes custom orders, so if you see a bracelet that you like that you want in a different color, email redpandajewelry@gmail.com and I’ll make one up for you.

To kick things off, here’s the first bracelet listed. It’s a rainbow stretchy bracelet woven in the bee stings weave. :D

Christmas is over! No more waiting in store lines, hustling about for the best discount, writing tons of cards, dealing with annoying relatives, and the general stress that can sometimes accompany the season. Now it’s time to sit back with a nice cup of wine, put your feet up, and have some relaxing time to yourself.

To start things off right, use coupon code “itsover” for 25% off your entire order, now through January 1, 2010.

Hope your new year is fabulous!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give a site wide update! I’m in the process of going through all my items and editing them so that you can choose the color you’d like your item made in from a drop down menu right on the page. This means everything will be much more streamlined, and you can find the things you want faster. It also means custom orders will be super simple! You’ll be able to see an example item, and choose any color you’d like right in the listing and check out with your own colored item of your choosing. Nifty, huh? I’ll be listing new items probably next week, and hopefully I’ll have everything set up with the new system by then. Email me with any questions. redpandajewelry@gmail.com

New this week at Red Panda – 3/22/09

(Click picture to view larger)

In order from left to right:
1. Rainbow Dragon Maille Bracelet – I love rainbows, so the rainbow dragon maille bracelet was obviously following up shortly after the yellow dragon maille necklace I posted last week. A solid silver version will be up hopefully next week.

2. Sterling Fan Earrings with Pink Mystic Topaz – I’m falling more and more in love with gemstones recently, with topaz of any color being high on the list. The rings were super tiny in these earrings, but they look great.

3. Sterling Wrapped Eudialyte Pendant – Eudialyte! Can you see I’ve got a pink trend going on? Just an amazing stone, all wrapped up in stering silver.

4. Pearl Suspension Pendant Necklace – I’ve actually had the pearl suspension necklace made for months and months now, and just now got around to listing it.

5. Star Shower Bracelet – And I adore the star shower bracelet! Usually I pick one or two colors, or a rainbow as my color scheme, but this has four! Pink, blue, green and silver. Love the stars. So cute.

6. Striped Sterling and Copper Viperscale Plus Bracelet -
The sterling and copper viperscale plus bracelet is oh so sumptuous. It’s a super dense weave, and I’ve woven it so it looks striped!

Check back next Sunday for more new maille goodies. :)

New this week at Red Panda Chainmaille – 3/8/09

In order from left to right:

Sterling Wrapped Seraphinite Pendant – $100

Glow Persian Stretchy Chainmail Bracelet – $20

Orbis Flower Pendant in Sterling and Rose Gold – $40

Orbis Flower Earrings in Sterling and Rose Gold – $60

Lovely Flower Chainmail Earrings in Purple – $14

JPL Spiral Chainmail Necklace – $40

The way the light shines off the seraphinite stone is just amazing. I wish I could capture it in my pictures better.
I’m still loving my glow in the dark rubber rings. A simpler bracelet I felt was in order!
The Orbis design is brand new; I especially love the way the rose gold looks in there.
Lovely flower earrings are a classic in my shop. Purple and affordable!
JPL is brand new also! This is the first JPL chain I’ve listed. I’ve got another one in copper diamond shaped rings made up and it’s not listed yet. This silver one is amazingly lightweight, while the copper has a nice heavy feel. Be looking for it soon!

All these items are also available in my etsy shop and in my artfire shop. See you next week for the Red Panda weekly update!

Also, I’ll be announcing a contest for free jewelry soon, so stay tuned!

Hi everyone! This weekend I was super busy uploading new items to the site. There were a total of 22 new things added, so you’ve got lots more to browse through now. I made two new bracelets this weekend that are polar opposites of each other. Here’s a picture!

The large black and silver bracelet in the background is available here.

The pretty silver one with the rainbow crystals isn’t online yet. You get a sneak peek! Be looking for it in the next few days. :)

I’m super excited about today’s update! I’ve got some GORGEOUS new things up for you to gaze upon. First off, I’m happy to introduce my first chainmaille cowl! Click the picture to read all about it.

Next I’ve just designed some absolutely stunning earrings. They’re sterling silver tiny byzantine chains that suspend a high quality white topaz bead.

And on a completely different note, I now offer my popular stretchy helm bracelet in a rainbow colorway! Now you can get your color on. :D

Enjoy!

I’ve just listed two new items today. The
Glow in the Dark Nova pendant looks like a snowflake to me. Affordable at only $15.00.

In a completely opposite direction, I’ve also listed the new Sterling and Pearls Necklace.

It’s made with genuine freshwater pearls and solid sterling silver. All completely handmade, of course. :)

Today I wrote a tutorial on how to make chainmaile! You can view it here:
