It's Summer Time and This New Coral Ring is IN!

 One of my latest pieces is this lovely rich Red Coral Cryptonite Ring. Handcrafted using Brass Wire and a beautifully unique shaped Coral Nugget, this beautiful ring is the perfect addition to any fashionista's jewelry collection.  It adds just the perfect touch of sass to spice up any casual or formal outfit.  This is a limited edition (1 of 15 coral rings worldwide), available in either silver or brass, please specify ring size and metal choice when ordering. Coral stones have a vivacious distinctive texture, color, and shape. Nature is really a marvelous thing.

 

Wow Summer is here and it's Hotter than ever! It's officially time for maxi dresses, shorts, wedged sandals, large floppy hats, and BBC's (Big Bold Colors). I just love this time of year, I adore looking at the way people express themselves through fashion.

LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Snap Belt 1 1/2"

NEW!

LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Belt 1 1/2"

The beginning of the espresso leather snap belt! 

Aingeel Z would like to introduce you to our newest addition, the LUXE COLLECTION. We are so proud to launch this new collection; quality has always been our forte and it is with great pleasure we present to you this hide with such great eminence. It is durable, soft, bold and beautiful. You will find that with years of wear that the edges will not fray but will become more rounded, also the characteristics of the leather will increase. The colors become richer and deeper. Natural wearing, scratches, and wrinkles will become a part of the individual personality of the leather. 



LUXE COLLECTION: Espresso Brown Leather Belt 1 1/2"
This Espresso chocolate leather is of the Highest quality I have found to date. It is butter soft yet very durable. I hand selected this distinctive chocolate hide and it is absolutely beautiful. Using the finest quality materials is a mission here at Aingeel-Z. A notable benefit of this leather is, it's "pull-up" (when pulled tight or folded it produces a brilliant burst of color), which is an indication of it's remarkable character. This belt will age beautifully. 


Hand Made locally within the USA, this belt can be interchanged with any buckle 1 1/2" or larger, and is a perfect fit for the Agate Buckles found in this shop.

  As promised, just in time for the Holidays, the NEW 'Cherry Cola' Leather Snap Belt is here.   I Found this sensational leather hidden on the bottom shelf of a factory in Queens!  Read all about my trip HERE.   I fell in LOVE instantly, and hope you will enjoy the characteristics of this leather as much as I do.  

  This 'Cherry Cola' premium quality leather snap belt is very durable.  Using the finest quality materials is a mission here at Aingeel-Z.  With a burgundy finish and "pull-up" to the grain, the benefit is that it will wear beautifully over time.  "Pull-up" is the burst of brilliant color that is shown when you pull or fold the leather.  The more you wear, the better it looks.

Prayers, for all suffering from Hurricane Sandy

I wanted to take some time to express my thoughts, send some light, and lift up prayers for those suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  New York and surrounding East Coast areas experienced first hand the devastation that Natural disasters can create.  Although I am based in Brooklyn, I was relatively unaffected by 'Sandy', but am humbled by the magnitude of the loss of many.   It will take a while for us all to rebuild,  until then lets remember to be compassionate in these times. 

Peace,

Making more Leather Snap Belts

Natural, Espresso, and Cranberry Leathers 

Today on my long To-Do-List included picking up "belting leather" from a leather supplier.  It was quite the trek, me pulling my pulley cart through 3 boroughs - 3 train lines to get to this place.  Once I was there the Smell of leather alone, let me know I was at home. 

There were so many guys there helping me that I felt sorta like the Queen of the leather world.  Chivalry is certainly not dead.  I ended up purchasing 3 skins which are really thick and weight a ton!!!   The leather ripped my rolley cart so, I ended up taking a cab back home, but the trip was well worth the $33 cab ride back to my home studio in Brooklyn.  

These skins above will be converted into Aingeel-Z Leather Snap Belts like the ones pictured below.  Recently the Med and Large size belts sold out!  But don't fret, they should be relisted soon on www.aingeelz.com and www.etsy.com/aingeelz Stay tuned.

Aingeel-Z Antics @ Atlantic Antic Festival: Re-cap

To weeks ago I participated in the 38th Annual Atlantic Antic Festival in Brooklyn.  It was our 4th year  selling, and I have to say the Best one yet.  Here are some pictures from the wonderful event.

 I designed these belts earlier this year, but was unsure how customers would respond.  To my surprise these belts sold out!  I have to get back stitching....  There are 3 more colors available for Fall 2012.

My beautiful YOGI bag got much attention.  Stay tuned for more news on how to pre-order. 

Anta, my beautiful co-worker stopped by to buy some goods.  She is a perfect model. 

 The street performers were great!!!

Renegade Craft Fair LA 2012 Recap!!!

Should we talk about the wonderful dancers first.   This group of dancers blessed us with their traditional dance at Renegade Craft Fair LA 2012.  It was so beautiful, from the feathers to the music.  I was happy to experience them.

Along with the dancers I had a couple of customers who were the highlight of the fair!!!   The first was a little lady by the name of  Micaela (I hope I'm getting the name right).  She was so cool, and  way mature for her age.  She came by and instantly complimented me on my display, and I quote ''I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE THE MOST AMAZING SET-UP, I LOVE CRYSTALS''.  Micaela, had me at Hello (lol).  She was doing some shopping before she came to me, so she was on a tight budget but wanted to purchase something.  Since she liked stones I dug around my extra materials for something special.   Micaela picked her stone and allowed me to take a picture of her.  She by far made my day.  I don't think I will ever forget her.  

Another highlight was the appearance of Miss Paula White.  Her enthusiasm for my work  is so encouraging and contagious.  I appreciate the kind words and patronage.  Thanks Paula!!

Another lovely lady wast the rocking DJ that stopped by all bubbly and lovely, so much so I had to capture her doing her thing.  Music was provided by KXLU 88.9FM LA 

Aingeel-Z Jewelry and Accessories was at booth 94 this year.  My Booth displays are always a source of great trepidation thought for me.  I always want to make it "better' than it was the previous year.  If i'm honest it is only slightly better each time (boooo).  The good thing is that I always get a ton of complements on it.  I mean, folks just stop and linger sometimes starring at each and every detail.  Which I welcome, since I put a lot of thought, sweat, and tears into it.  My hope is that it is not too decorated...you know that 'look but don't touch feel'.  I would hate to send that message.   What do you think about my display? 

A big CONGRATULATION to our Mailing-list Winner Alyssa Nelson.  

Thank You All for coming out to support!   

Until next year,
