Rose Gold Jewellery Collection - Fraser Ross


Hi guys what's up? It's Jess, welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to tell you guys where I got every single piece of jewellery that you guys have ever asked me a question about. Thank you, guys, for being patient and not killing me when I don't answer your questions about where stuff is, I wanted to film everything and put it in one spot for you guys to look at, when you have questions.

This is the jewellery I’ve accumulated thus far, everything is rose gold, everything is real or somewhat like sterling silver dipped in rose gold or something, because I cannot do fake jewellery. I hate the smell of it when it gets worn too much and the green and the white dyes your skin, the nickel or whatever it is, I don't know, it's just gross. Sorry forever 21 I can't do it.

I'm going to share with you guys where all my pieces are from, it's going to be pretty quick. I don't have too many, this is all the stuff that you have seen in my videos, nothing more so here we go. First I’ll start with these rose gold necklaces that I'm wearing. This is a simple roped rose gold choker from Adina's jewels and I will have everything linked down below. Next this Jessica necklace is from Soufeel and you guys can personalize your own stuff, it's really cool and then I have this rose gold bar with the coordinates for a Chester Hills Michigan because that's where I went to school, that's where I'm from, and I like to keep my home close to my heart.

Yeah and I get so many questions on these earrings right here and you guys will never believe where I found them, they're from Amazon it's only $15 worth three pairs. So obviously I only have two holes, I used to have three and but the third one closed up. I keep them in for like three months and then I order another pair, they don't get bad I just think it's probably good to change them out every three months.

These are in the rose gold, they have silver and yellow gold, I believe and they're like super hard to put on but if you put them on backwards it's way easier to put the little clamp in the hole. So yeah recommend that, that's so easy to sleep in, so easy a shower and you don't even notice they're there and they're just like a cute little touch for every outfit. Next I have these two little bangle bracelets and they were rose gold, they're like starting get more gold every day and this one says breathe and then the other one says she believed she could, so she did, and now for rings, this ring right here is from Pandora.

I had taken this ring into Pandora because it lost a little gem and was all scraped up and they literally just took it from me without a receipt and returned it and gave me a brand new one. So I’ve had this ring for like, not this one but I’ve been wearing this for a total of three years. I shower and sleep in it and everything, it's nice and flat, so it doesn't get caught on anything.

I get so many compliments on it, this ring right here, it's just my rose gold band, it's from Tiffany and company. My parents picked this up for me for my graduation and it's very special and it means the world. It was very expensive and I freaked out if I like ever take it off to do something and don't put it on right away, because I mean any women out there who are married you probably know how it feels to take your engagement ring off, that's how I feel with this thing and it's not even an engagement ring and then this one's new.

You guys probably haven't seen it, this is a Olive Branch rose gold from sue field jewellery, which is where these two necklaces are from as well. So those are all of the current jewelry pieces that I’ve been wearing for like the past, but you can probably will wear for the next couple weeks. I like to just try it out like one necklace at a time or I don't really sleep in this choker one. I don't know, I swear this one sometimes I’ll just wear one, sometimes others throw different ring on, just it always change it, so the pieces I'm about to show you are the pieces that I trade in and out.

This first one is the necklace that so many of you guys asked me about, it is this really cool rose gold necklace from Alexson and I wear it so that the back shows and it says path of life. Alex and Annie, and then this is so cool because it has these two little beads and if any of you have ever had Allison ante bracelets, this is literally or Alexanian necklaces, it literally can get this long and you just take these two beads and you pull and it tightens it. This is actually two or three years old and they no longer sell it on the website. I already checked because some of you were asking and I was going to send you guys to the link, but I did not find it on the website, but if you guys want to try and search like eBay or something this is called the Alex and Andy path of life necklace and they also have silver and gold too.

But this is in the rose gold, these charms are starting to look a little more goldy than it once did. Yeah that charm is that charm wore off big-time. Next I have this rose gold choker this is also from Medina's jewels and it is just this really simple like lime design thing. I think this is really, really cute. I used to always wear this one but it really chokes you. Adonis jewels always has like really good discount. So this next one was a necklace that I wore in so many of my videos and it's the one that drapes down like this. This necklace would actually look really cute with the top that I'm wearing right now, anyways it's just rose gold. It has to all the little balls and beads on it, just a simple, simple chain and it drops down and has a little rhinestone.

This is a rose gold choker from Kendra Scott and it has just this little sparkly stone and this is adjustable, so you can't wear it like a little bit lower here or you can wear it like a little bit tighter. I love Kendra scoffs little clasps, they're so cute, they have this like really fun little design. I have another Jessica choker, this one is from M jewelers and I love this one so much, this was one I never took off, but now that I got this new one I'm like trying to like feel out some different choker vibes. I still love this one so much and I’ll probably be sharing them out, but this and this right here, are from our jewellers, not this one's not from Medina's. I like that's literally all my jewelry that I own, so if you guys ever have any questions, Soufeel has really good cheap jewellery that's real and jewellers Adina's jewels

Charm Necklace - Fraser Ross



Hey guys, Andre Garcia here. Today I'm going to be teaching you how to create a double layered necklace, for all of you fans of layering your jewellery. Recently I’ve been layering my jewellery a lot, but what I find it's a little difficult to find different necklaces and measure different sizes in order for to have the whole layering look going on. So I decided to create a layered necklace that's already ready to go, so I can just grab it and put it on.

This tutorial is also helpful for those of you that have charms and you want to create a simple gold necklace. The first thing I'm going to teach you is how to create a one charm necklace and then build from there and do the layering and whatnot. I highly recommend if you're looking for charms to shop at Michaels or any other craft stores. They usually sell them in bulk for pretty cheap, but you'd store the charms for other projects or you can make them as gifts for your friends.

So yes let's go ahead and get started. You need the following materials for this tutorial, the first thing you are going to need is some jewellery chain. I bought these at Michaels and they sell different colours of chain, silver, you have like a gold bronze and then gold. So make sure that you grab one of these, you should be able to make a few necklaces with this bead Landing it's six it's 96 inches long in total. So we have those and you also want some charms, Michaels, Joanne's any craft store will sell these like really cute little charms that are ready to go for you.

I ended up choosing for this tutorial to go with these charms and that includes the Laughing Buddha, the evil eye and the hamsa hand. So I’ll show you guys later what those are, so just make sure you pick little charms that you like and then you are going to need some jewellery pliers and the last thing you're going to need is some jewellery jump rings and also your little claws to seal your necklaces and you need one per necklace and you're going to need about two jump rings per necklace as well. And that is about it as far as it supplies this tutorial.

So the first part of the tutorial I'm going to teach you how to create a single gold charm necklace only using one charm of course and I forgot to include that you also need some wire cutters for this tutorial. So I'm going to go ahead and get my wire, sorry my necklace chain ready. It's got off the packaging, so the first thing you want to do is take your necklace chain and measure it around your neck so you can get the measurement correctly of how long you wanted it to be.

I already put this around my neck and I know the size that I want my necklace to be. Now I'm just going to take my wire cutters and I'm going to clip that. So now I have my chain ready to go and this is actually going to be very simple. Most of the charms that are sold at the store already come prepared and ready with a jump ring at the top. So you're basically going to be inserting the chain into that, like so, just like that. It's ready to go and then on one end what you're going to do, is grab one of your jewellery jump rings, open it with your pliers, insert it to one of the ends of your jewellery chain, close it.

So now that you have that one on one side, you are going to put another jump ring on the opposite side as well, but this time around you are going to grab your claw, your jewellery claw and before you close it, you're going to insert it in, then close and that's pretty much about it. For the single charm necklace and I’ll show you it's just regular, open, put it on the hoop and it closes and here we have our little finished product. Now to assemble the double layered necklace, you need your necklace chain, some wire cutters, your pliers, your jump rings, your claw and of course your two different charms.

So what I went ahead and already did, is already pre-cut and measured two of the chains. One measured 16 inches, the other one measured 19 inches and I measured these around my neck. When I was cutting my wire chain, so as you can see, I'm going to need two of those but you want them to be due to different sizes of course. So you have the layering that happens on your neck, depending on which charm you want at the top or at the bottom doesn't really matter.

Take your first charm insert it through the short chain and this is the one that was 16 inches, and now I'm going to take my second charm, my little laughing Buddha that I found. Here insert it through that and now as you can see I have the long one in the front and then the shorter one goes directly underneath my neck and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to double up my chain. When I insert it into my jump ring, so take my jump ring and I'm going to insert the longer one in first then the short one, close that and I'm going to repeat the same thing on the opposite side. Longer chain first, shorter chain, but before I close the second jump ring I want to go ahead and take my little cloth, insert it first then I can close it and your necklace is pretty much assembled.

You take your little claw and close it to the ring and there you have your two layered necklace all ready to wear. I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial, remember customize it, make it in gold, make it in rose gold, whatever you want and again these make really awesome gifts. I'm going to go ahead and make these necklaces available for sale on my Etsy shop, you can find the link right below and I'm selling jewellery, all of this here to collect funds for a cause very dear to my heart. All the information is on my blog as well. You can go to fancy me calm and just click directly on the shop link and it should take you straight to my Etsy shop as well. So thank you guys so much for taking the time to watch this tutorial and I will see you all very soon.

Chunky Charm Bracelet - Fraser Ross Jewellery



Hey everyone's & Deluca here. I'm going to show you how to make a chunky charm bracelet. Now you can't, you don't have to make a bracelet, you can just totally make a huge chunky charm if you want, but I just thought it'd be fun to, to make bracelets and then if you want to use them for, you know closures on mini albums or hang them on a mini album or something you totally can. So I have just gathered a bunch of supplies, I’ve got some white pearls and some little flower beads and some of these are plastic, some are glass and we're doing a swap on LSH. I just posted it, it's called the chunky bracelet swap or the chunky charm bracelet swap and that's why I'm doing this tutorial, to teach or to show everyone, you know what I do to make mine.

I have a bunch of these little, these are the plastic that they look metal beads. I've got a bunch of baubles in here, a big heart charm and I'm using a large lobster clasp, it's very big. I've seen one of these cute little baubles, I got these from twins moms and then I just have you know, some bead caps, Charms that I want to add and then this whole bag of keys, because you just you want to fill it up and you want it real chunky. I also have this little pink chain and this pink will go with, you know the theme that I'm going with pink. This is not going to be the bracelet for the charm swap this is just when I'm making for a tutorial.

I'm using 20 gauge wire 20 gauge wire is very easy to use and manipulate but you may want to go a little bit bigger and get 18 gauge, as that will be a stronger wire, but I'm going to show you a way to make your charms that they will not fall off. Its, it will be impossible. Okay so I'm going to just get everything ready, I'm going to make some split rings so I'm cut a large piece of wire off because I'm going to need a lot of split rings for this. Actually I'm not going to make that many because of the way I'm going to do mine, it's going to be a lot stronger. So I will make some, because I may want to use some.

Okay so I'm just going to take this piece of wire here, let's move this out of the way so you can see a little better and all I can do it with this, but I'm going to show you on a paintbrush, because this may be easier for you to do. I'm just going to take a paintbrush just like this and I'm going to start twisting the wire around the paintbrush, just like this and trying to get it as tight to the previous wire, wire as I can and just wrap it all the way around. Kind of like you're making a spring. What you could use this for a spring. Okay now I have this and I'm just going to cut off that little end sitting there and then I'm going to cut about two or three at the same time. You want some strong wire cutters for this, in the same place each time.

Okay so that's going to give me a few jump rings. Normally I would just do a real long piece. Okay I'm back so now I'm going to show you now these are the stuff I use these tools, I use the small round nose plier. I use these needle nose pliers that have like the gripper, they have a teeth on it and then my wire cutters. That's the only three tools I use, also I'm going to measure myself and this is going to be a little bulky, so I'm just going to measure this on myself and give it about an extra two inches, maybe and I'm going to show you a sure-fire way that you will not lose any of your beads.

I also put it on a white background, I'm going to cut a wire about two inches long, I'm going to take one end and I'm going to go to the side, so it's going to be like that. Right, now I'm going to wrap this around my pliers and I'm going to keep going and then I'm going to wrap that a little bit so I have this. I'm going to take my lobster clasp, I'm going to pop it on the end there and slide it through. Now that it's on the little circle, I'm going to hold it with my needle nose and I should have given myself a little bit more wire, but now I'm going to wrap it around the end, just like this. I have to use my pliers because I left too small of a tail. I'm just going to pinch that down, so if you see that's not going to come off. Making some links with and I'm going to alternate the pearls and flowers and the pink crystals and baubles.

So the big bubbles I'm probably going to want to do like one here, here, here, some in between, like that. So that's what I’ll do, there's five there, so I'm probably going to put them about an inch apart. Let's back up a little bit, so you see what I'm doing. Okay so now I'm going to cut about two inches of wire, I'm going to put my little bauble on it and then I'm going to bend my wire around just like this and wrap that around the stem. I'm going to cut the excess off and I'm going to pinch it down that little tail cuz that I don't want that to be sharp and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a bead, just like that and now I'm going to grab my wire, bend it this way, twist it around the pliers and now I have a. So I'm switching to different chain, this one's a lot stronger than the other one.

Okay so now I'm going to take my little piece of wire and my bobble and I'm going to place it on the chain exactly where I want it to hang and I'm going to hold the loop with my pliers and I'm going to wrap this wire around the stem, the wire, and then I'm going to clip that little tail up and I'm going to smash down that little tail, because that will be sharp. Okay so now, that bobble will not come off unless the chain breaks, because the loops are wrapped around the stems. Okay so now I have all the bobbles on and I'm just going to start making little charms or little dangles with pearls and beads and I’ll do a couple and regular motion and then after that I’ll just kind of speed it up and you can watch me build it. So here we go. Okay so I pretty much have this pretty full but I'm still going to fill a couple more spots and show you those too. I have a part there, another really pretty crystal here, in this here. So what I'm going to do is, I could either use a split ring like I made earlier or I can do, I'm going to show you just a little trick with these.

I'm going to cut that off and start it over, so you can see. Okay so here's the heart bead, the crystal and then there's my little wire. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to twist the end into a little circle and use the smallest part of my pliers and now I have a little tiny circle there and I'm just going to take and I'm going to bend my wire, so I got that now. I'm going to put my wire down on the wire or the bead there on the wire just like that and I'm going to take my pliers, actually I'm going to add a bead. I think I’ll add a heart bead, I'm going to put a little bead on there, actually this is a pearl. Can you slide that down and now I'm going to take my pliers right above it, about an eighth of an inch. I'm going to bend it toward me just like that and then I'm going to wrap my wire around the pliers, just like that and I'm going to leave it open and then I'm going to take my silver necklace or my bracelet and find a link that I want to add it to.

One that has you know a big space right here and I'm going to feed the top of this wire through one of the chain links, just like that and then I'm going to force the loop around, force the chain through the loop, just like that. So now it's hooked on the chain and I changed my chains, I was using the pink one but it wasn't strong enough and now I'm just going to wrap my wire around. Okay and I don't need that much, so I'm going to clip off that tail there and I don't want that tail showing, that's left, so I'm going to take my needle nose and I'm going to crimp that part down, just like that. Now the heart is hanging on there, just like that. I do it one more time with one of these, this actually has a loop on it that's open, so I'm just going to take one of my split rings and whatever you call these, I'm going to open it and you don't open it you don't pull it open, you do that to open it. I'm just going to slide that on, you find another space on the chain, have some room. Looks like you need some more right here, so I'm just going to pop it on by those links and close that and here's the end I added.

I added a bunch of split rings and then the lobster claws on this side, so I can just keep adding and adding and hopefully this gives you an idea of how to make it. Make yours, you can make your charms this way. There it is on my hand, there's the clasp and it's quite a heavy bracelet because I used a real strong chain and I did those the links by wrapping my wire around the base. There's no rings that can open up, if there's like a lightweight charm I just used the split rings. That's a lightweight charm, that one is but the big heavy baubles I wanted to link it real strong and secure. So there you go, I hope that you guys have fun making your chunk of charm bracelets and make sure that you join the swap at a little scrap of heaven and make your own. Thanks for watching love you, bye.

Silver Charm Bracelet



Everybody, it’s Cara and I'm back with part two of the tutorials that I'm putting together to show you guys how I make my silver charms and bracelets. I have had a couple videos that I've uploaded and I had some few questions on how I put them together, so, I decided to go ahead and do these tutorials and show you the way that I do it. I just want to say again I'm not a professional. I have not taken any classes, this is just the way that it works best for me and I'm hoping that it answers any questions those few you had and maybe help somebody else out when they're starting.

In the first video I showed you guys how I pulled together on my supplies, get my tools ready, make the choices of chain and all that good stuff, which is what I did. I did choose to use the chain that had to basically two pieces to it and what I do in the first part is I attach the clasps, which in this case we're the ones with a little bit of rhinestone. I used a split ring to do it and I will show you how to put those on, put on both sides, then once I'm done with that I find the centre of the chain, literally by counting the links, because I'm just a little OCD and I like to start from the middle. To me that's the best starting point because then I can make sure everything is laid out evenly and it's balanced.

So, I added the first charm which is this one. I typically put a not a huge one but a bigger one in the middle and then I work out and I lay out on my silver charms, which is what I did here. All of these charms already have split rings on them, or a jump ring or two, I think. So they're ready to go. usually I would put them on at the same time that I put the split ring on, but I just kind of wanted to show them to you and you can see this one for example, I'm sure the camera will pick it up but this one has a smaller split ring on it, as opposed to this heart one that has something in the back to attach to the charm. I used a bigger one because of the way I wanted it to hang. I will, just wanted to point out that split rings and jump rings come in different sizes, so depending on how you want your charms and other little dangly things to dangle, I guess.

How you know, how far down you want them to go or how you want them to lay on the bracelet. You can you know, use a variety of sizes of those, so make sure you're aware of that, if you decide to go and get any. To attach the charms, like I said, you can use jump rings or split rings. If you use sorry I'm fiddling with the charm, if you use split rings there is less of a chance that the charm will come off the chain because the split ring is very similar to that little ring that's on a keychain. You know the one we have to bend it open and slide the keys on. That’s what you have to do here, you have to kind of open up the wire and slide the chain on and you want to try and avoid damaging the shape of the jump ring. You want it to be a nice pretty circle to look good on your charm bracelet.

So you can open it using one of these tools, which is almost kind of like a beak, or you can see that my camera doesn't want to focus on it. Basically, it has a little pointed edge there that prise open, the two pieces of wire, you could also use tweezers if you have a bent pair like this and you can manoeuvre it in between the two pieces of wire and I know some of my crafty friends use their nails, but that's going to damage your nail so I wouldn't recommend it. I like this little tool, I picked it up, I think it was online at an Etsy store for four or five dollars, so for me it was worth it, because it works really well in helping to open that up. Hopefully you can kind of see how it's doing that and basically you would just take a charm and you would slide it on the part that's open, just like so. Pull your charm out and then you can either finish pulling it around with your fingers or you could take one of your sets of pliers. Hold on to the jump ring and just manoeuvre until it clicks all the way through and there it is.

that's one way to do it. Another way that you can do this, let's use this one, is a jump ring. Sometimes you're going to have to use a jump ring because the part of the charm or button or whatever you're using, that you're going to attach to the ring, is so thick that you can't open that split ring wide enough. So you'll have to use a jump ring and they're perfectly fine, again the idea is to not distort the or damage the shape of the jump ring. keep it in that circle, so what you're doing is you're going to take a pair of, I'd say I think they're flat nose pliers, basically flat edge, sorry I can't remember the official names, but you're basically going to take hold of this one side and the opening and the jump rings right up here at the top. you'll take another set of the pliers like so and you'll bend it toward you or away from you, but just one direction and you know you don't want to bend any more than you have to.

Put on the charm, take your pliers back, bend it back and shape to the circle and then there you have it. It’s all, it's on the jump ring and can be attached to the bracelet, to the chain. Now normally when I'm doing this, I would put them on the sterling silver chain at the same time. Typically makes it a little bit easier. You know just to have to open it one time, but I just kind of wanted to show you how that worked and that's how I'm going to do my sterling silver charms.

I can't remember if I showed you that really well. so what I'm going to do when I'm finished with this video is, I'm going to go through and add all the charms here and then I will be back with part three, to show you how I put together the little beads that I like to dangle off my charms and we'll be adding those next and then buttons, will be the final stage and then hopefully the bracelet will be done.

So thanks for watching, please let me know if you have any comments or questions. Again not a professional, I'm not making fine jewellery but I'm happy to answer questions and help you out if I can. So once again, thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day wherever you're at. Bye.

Rose Gold Jewellery - Fraser Ross Australia


Hi everyone my name is Mallory and I am so excited to chat a little bit about rose gold jewellery and showcase some fun and easy ways to style it with outfits this summer and fall. Don't be intimidated by this pink hued metal, it's actually one of the most universally flattering tones as it pulls out the rose in every skin colour. Plus as you can see on me, it looks great paired with just about any metals, gold, silver so you don't have to choose between the two.

For all of your jewellery lovers out there that may be familiar with cardio smoothie ring featuring rose gold, silver and gold. They were one of the first companies to introduce rose gold to the mainstream community in a successful way, back in the 1920s. The boho trend is here to stay and so many of these 70s inspired clothing styles feature earth tones which are beautiful complements to rose gold. Earth tones include everything from shades of brown, deep reds, greens, yellows and oranges, all warm colours that are perfect pairings for rose gold.

So I opted for a 70s inspired burnt orange top. I'm layering our petite Razoo rose gold choker with our gold leaf pendant necklace and our matching rose gold studs and this whole look is perfect for bringing you right into the fall season. An offshoot of the earth tone family is the nude family, which includes everything from creams, topes, vases, dusty pink and another boho chic look is this right here and it showcases the really popular fringe trend that again is very 70s inspired and a tank top sweater is perfect for those cool summer evenings and transitioning right into fall and I’ve paired it with our rose gold collar necklace which is just so beautiful.

The clear faceted stones pick up the nude in the top really nicely and it gives you that pinkish theme without going overboard, which I love and then the crystal details are just that little bit of feminine touch that you need to round out the outfit. So I love this as another option for showcasing that beautiful rose gold chain. Waiting the next trend is an off shoulder table and I shouldn't even call it a trend it's a wardrobe essential. This list became popular this past spring and ever since has just exploded. It's everywhere from Robert 21 daraa H&M; you name it and this look became so popular because it allows you to show off a little bit of skin in a fun and flattering way.

The rose gold pairs really, really beautifully with vibrant colours. Here we have it paired with an off shoulder red top. Red is perfect because it's bright enough to finish off summer and to showcase all those summer brights but then transitions into fall perfectly. So off shoulder tops also look really, really good paired with dainty ER pieces because you, are as I mentioned before, trying to be a little fun, flirty you're showing a little skin so you don't want anything too overwhelming around your chest.

So here I paired it with our Bianca convertible necklace in rose gold featuring these beautiful little crystals around the pearl inlay and I just love this necklace paired with this beautiful red top. You see the pink and the red compliment perfectly and last but not least, we have our grey tones. The rose gold and grape heron you see quite a bit in wedding colour schemes and bridal parties and that's because the two of them together are so romantic and dreamy because grey is a neutral tone. You can wear this look with your favourite grey tee or you can opt for a beautiful blouse like this one shown here and so here I have paired this grey blouse with our petite baju rose gold choker and this choker actually is a two row choker. So it's a little different than the one that you see, it has a second layer and it features these beautiful cubic zirconia stones and feminine detailing.

The whole look is just as I mentioned before, so beautiful and dreamy and something that you can accomplish whether you're dressed down for the day or dressed up. I hope showcasing all these trends and colour pairings with rose gold really inspired you to get creative with your styling this summer, fall season and beyond and I can't wait to see all of the mixing and matching that you do yourself with our new rose gold pieces.
