Hope Collection complete!






I am very proud to unveil my completed HOPE Collection, for which ALL the profits will benefit Team Presto Print at the Whitesboro, NY Relay for Life. The event is run by the American Cancer Society. We've all been touched by someone with cancer, or maybe you've struggled with it yourself? The HOPE Collection is a great way to wear your cause on your sleeve- or your ear, or your cell phone, etc.! I am also getting ready to launch my spring collection- have to deal with a few website SNAFUs, which is normal. It should be done by this afternoon (Monday, March 26th). Here are a few teaser photos! Thanks, all, for hanging in there with me.

Latest bridal designs






I've been working with several brides over the last few months on custom jewelry for their weddings. I'll be placing these sets on my Bridal Portfolio on the site, but wanted to have a quick place to show them off! I'm trying to use Swarovski crystal beads and crystal pearls more often now, because they have higher quality control than just glass pearls, whose colors can vary by dye lot. With Swarovski, the color and consistency is pretty much guaranteed. Also, Swarovski crystal pearls do not scratch as easily as their glass counterparts. And with crystal, how can you go wrong with the most precise cuts in the industry, with a history of striving for perfection? No other bead can match the fire and brilliance of Swarovski, and I swear they didn't pay me to say that! Once you have seen Swarovski jewelry, you'll know the difference.

Benefit jewelry coming soon...



Today, I received some of the charms and beads that I will use in my pink and purple ribbon jewelry to benefit Team Presto Print at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. I'm excited to get to work on this collection, for which I will give all the profits back. Take a look at the samples- there's more to come, and I'll post it all on my website at www.danasaylordesigns.com when it's complete.

If you'd like to be on my email list so you can be notified when I put new collections on my website, just go to the Contact Me page on the site, and send me a message. Thanks!

New Collections in the works!



For those of you who stop by my site on a regular basis, you'll notice I've been adding new items more frequently than I used to. I'm trying to add something new for every item that I sell from the site, so there's always a reason to visit!

I'm planning my Spring Collection which will, of course, have a snazzy name and photo, as well as a religious collection for upcoming First Communion, Easter, and other events. Prepare to be dazzled!

Also, I will be adding a few designs for charitable events to my site. I am designing a set of jewelry which will be part of a Cruise giveaway for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The tickets will offer a chance to win the cruise, a gift basket, or perhaps a great set of Dana Saylor Designs jewelry!

I am participating in the Whitesboro, NY Relay for Life in May on Team Presto Print. Myself and a few other team members are collaborating on some pink and purple ribbon designs whose proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. Those will be unveiled on the site in the next few weeks, and you'll be able to shop online to bring HOPE to thousands of cancer victims and survivors!

Thanks for stopping by, and as always, feel free to drop me a line, refer a friend, or just browse and enjoy!
