For his first line of jewelry for Lucky Girl Trading, I told him what sort of earrings I'd like us to make, and he took my idea and ran with it. He's been testing out both fine silver and sterling, hammering earwires, soldering tiny tubes, and hand-coiling and soldering tiny springs.
These earrings and more of Mr. LuckyGirl's creations are now available in the precious metal jewelry section at Lucky Girl Trading on Etsy. We'll be adding more items often, so check back every few days to see what's new.
To help kickstart the new pieces, I'm offering these earrings to you at 25% off! The regular price is $20 per pair, but if you make a purchase by September 30 and put "blog kickoff" in the notes to seller during checkout I'll take $5 off.
I'm also going to give away the winner's choice of any pair of Mr. LuckyGirl's earrings!

Sorry to hear about your job loss, Mr. LuckyGirl. I'm glad that you have found something to keep you occupied though. You may never go back!! :)
sorry your hubby lost his job, and great earrings and attitude!
Those are really nice earrings! Best wishes to you and your husband, I hope he finds a new job soon.
Hang in there... I love the unique earrings and the colors. so pretty! jacquecurl1@gmail.com
What a great way to make lemonade out of some uber lemons--the earrings are beautiful! I especially like the ones with the gold leaf agate spheres--reminds me of wood and I'm an earthy girl to the core! Best of luck!

I love the earrings; they are very fresh and modern. However, my mom had several pairs like them, and they tend to slip out of her ears - the crook isn't enough to keep them in place, it seems, and they slide towards the front. So I would recommend including a pair of those little clear, flexible, plastic rings with them, to hold them in place.

Sorry to hear about Mr. Lucky Girl's unluckiness with the job.
Good news is... he's fabulous at making earrings! I love the simplicity of them. Beautiful. :)
Beautiful earrings! I love the Silver Dangle Earrings with Sodalite Spheres for its simplicity and beauty.

I like the Silver Dangle Earrings with Blue Glass Rectangles because that blue looks great with silver.

The Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Amethyst Purple are my favorites. I don't think you need to improve something, these earrings are simple and unique just the way they are.

I love how graceful they look-but I fiddle with my earrings so much I'd be terrified they'd come out! maybe offer a small clear rubber back for them?

Sorry to hear about your husbands job. However, his earrings are great, and he seems to be a great assistant to you!
i love the stone choices, but i mostly love how long the backings of the earrings are. i'm forever losing backless earrings, i don't think i could lose these!
I quite like the Silver Dangle Earrings with Sodalite Spheres. I like the design as well, it's very simple and leaves to a more sculptural feel as opposed to the standard earrings. The small springs at the botton make the beads appear as lightbulbs! (I wonder if your husband could do something with that?) Sorry to hear he got laid off, but I'm glad it's leading to creative expression.

Sorry to hear your husband has lost his job.
I love the colour of the Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Amethyst. I wonder if the part at the back behind the ear would bang against your head or not.
Thanks for the giveaway. mybabyappleseed(at)yahoo(dot)ca
I like the funky Tri-Color Circles, but the other earrings in the precious metals collection are a bit too plain for my tastes!

I love the simplicity of the earrings. I hope Mr Lucky Girl finds another job soon of course unless he has already found his calling in jewelry making!
I like the simplicity of the earrings, but that kind of back tends to either irritate my neck or get tangled in my hair. I wish you the best. With that kind of positive attitude, I'm sure things will turn out okay.
Your earrings are simple yet they make a statement. ( :

I like everything in your sgop, really. I love the movement in your earrings. My favorites are the Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Peridot Green. Kudoos to you and Mr. LuckyGirl on seeing the positive in this difficult situation.
good luck 2 both of you!
i like the earrings because they are SIMPLE YET BEAUTIFUL!
my 1st two favourites are;
1. Tri-Color Circles Dangle Earrings
2. Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Amethyst Purple
Love the colors!
My fave earrings that Mr.Lucky makes are the TRI-COLOR CIRCLES!
I like the rustice look of all the earrings on that page. Do they come with stoppers to keep the earrings from falling out? Thanks for the chance to win!

A new door opens....sounds like you make a perfect match! The earrings are lovely.
i LOVE the simplicity of having just one bead on the earring (esp the blue goldstone ones). the earwire shape is great as well! the only suggestion i could make is perhaps to have some with just flattened metal instead of the beads and, of course, more bead variety!

I love the Tri-Color Circles Dangle Earrings....but overall, I love the 'movement' of the arrings, they're not just the ususal plain-jane hanging type- makes them more interesting.
I like the earrings, the Tri-Color Circles Dangle Earrings are my favorite. I tend to like my dangly earrings to have more than one thing dangling, and most of these are single dangles. So I'd recommend you add some more with multiple things dangling.
I also love the silver dangle earrings. Good luck with the new venture.
I like the design of the earrings and the different stones.

I really love the simple silver base with the single stone. This is so beautiful! I wish you had a set of moonstone earrings!
Sorry to hear that Mr. LuckyGirl was laid off. Glad he has found something creative to do with his newly found time off though! I don't wear earrings so I don't need to be entered into the contest. I just wanted to pass along my best wishes for both of you.
Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Amethyst Purple are my favorite, because they are so unique and stunning!!

I love the style and think Mr. Lucky Girl is going to be lucky in his line of jewelry! They're fantastic! I love simple lines and modern look. It would be interesting to use other materials such as lucite and vintage beads or even interesting metal findings, bits, and bobs. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Silver Dangle Earrings with Dragon Blood Jasper Triangles
Love the shape of these beads and the color.
I would like to see some rough stones. Pure organic shape. Not so polished.
I like the ones you are making. But as a nice alternative...rough.
So cool that you are working as a team.
I love the elfin style ear wires, those seem to be very popular lately.
I would love to see some more options in the stones, something faceted perhaps?
Beautiful jewelry though!

These are so lovely! I love the simplicity of them. I am so rough on my earings that I would need something to keep them in. LOL Maybe the small plastic backings to help keep them in?

Those are pretty cute earings, I want some..

I love the way these earrings sit in the ear - with the long part coming out the front and the back - it's fun, cute and practical. I think the Hammered Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Peridot Green are my favorites.

Yes, you are a Lucky Girl! I've been unemployed 19 months now and wish that my mr janaes jewels was able to help me!
Wishing you the best of luck....
I liked the Dragon Blood Jasper Triangles. I like the overall simplicity of the earrings that you have posted. Nevertheless, the shop holds immense versatility by use of different bead types and shapes, so there's something for everyone. Keep up the great work! And give your husband my fondest wishes on his job search. I know how frustrating it can be.
Good Luck to both of you! I love the Silver Dangle Earrings with Swarovski Peridot Green-peridot is actually my birthstone!

flower_child_23(at)hotmail(dot)com
I do love the simplicity of the design. Just a touch of color. My only concern is loosing one of these....these type of earrings tend to come out too easily for me so I always use those little plastic backings just in case.....I hate loosing an earring!
Very nice earring, I just dont like the fact that there is no backing to keep them in place. I had a pair similar to these and they tend to come forward almost making their way out of my ear hole. My granddaughters however wear earrings so if I did win, I would give it to one of them.
