Archmaille Designs Blog

Hey! If you’re here you obviously already know about the newest edition to the Archmaille Designs website out blog! But just to reiterate things, yes this is our blog, and yes you will find special deals, site information, and various other updates in here!

Of course as always if you would like to get to know me better you can always visit my personal blog which you can find on the sidebar under “blogroll” as Cody Sortore’s Ramblings.

Hey guys! I’m doing my best to get the store updated. If you’ve noticed the flash banner has replaced the old image. I would like it to be a little more spiffy, but that’s going to take time and it’s one thing at a time for right now. Those of you who have been here before may have noticed that I added images to the front page with samples of jewelry pieces from each category so that you can better navigate the site. Now you’re probably wondering why the title of this entry is Handmade sterling silver jewelry huh? Well that’s simple, because that is going to be my focus for a little while around here. Unfortunately it takes a GREAT deal of silver to make the Japanese Chainmail jewelry pieces and I’ve used most of my silver stock up trying to get all the Japanese jewelry pieces made that I could. I’m going to do my best to get everything that I currently have in stock on the site so that you have a variety to choose from, It’s up to you to purchase those items so that I can create more unique pieces, as well as fill up my existing line of products.

Those of you who were at the St. Louis Renaissance Festival and are now here looking for it I’m sorry if I do not have what you are looking for. If you know what it was you were looking for feel free to email me and yell at me for not having it on the site. If you don’t remember please be patient with me. Even though I do part time webpage design along with this business, updating the catalog on here is one of the most tedious things that I have to do, and honestly hate it. I would much rather be actually working on creating new jewelry than to sit here uploading new products, it’s a very slow tedious process that drives me crazy. I know, strange huh? Coming from me who can sit for hours on end linking together minuscule rings to create the most intricate patterns, yes there are things that annoy me and just plain drive me crazy to have to sit and do, this happens to be one of them. Tiana has agreed to help me with jewelry descriptions, so that will also help speed along the process.

As far as custom work goes it will be another couple of weeks before I can get back to all of that. Heading up to St. Louis on Friday we got into a car accident… luckily all of the displays and jewelry were fine, some other stuff that was in the trunk however such as my pliers and other tools I have were annihilated. I am working to put in an order with the jewelry company that I purchase from to get a new set along with more silver wire and some other things that I’ve run out of. Until this order comes in I’m kind of stuck, but soon I will gladly be able to get back to custom work.
