Welcome to Belle Fever
Hi!
I am Sarah, the founder of Belle Fever.
Let's
get something straight right off the bat: If you are looking for something mass
produced, generic and things you can get at any jewellery store, then we are
not for you.
During
my younger years, I had always wanted a family tree necklace that I could personalize but they were like over $100 in the
stores and coming from a family with three girls, it just wasn't on my parent’s
priority list.
In
my teenage years, I received a surprise on my birthday. Yes, you guessed it, I
received my very own sterling silver name necklace and I was never
going to take it off!!! There was one problem though. As weeks went by, my
sterling silver personalized jewellery
name necklace began to look cloudy and turn black with tarnish so, sadly, I had
to take it off. I tried all the "home" solutions that many people
advised me to do to get this tarnish off (professional cleaning was just too
costly), such as tooth paste, baking soda and salt, but nothing worked so I put
it away. This continued to happen with all my sterling silver jewellery, so I
decided to find out what was wrong with me.
Almost
every woman loves personalized jewellery- especially when you can build your
own. Prepare to put aside those basic jewellery designs aside for something
that is more you (and far more stunning). Have names of loved ones here, words
of inspiration there, or a mix of both to make it truly yours.
I
found out that my skin was very acidic which caused the sterling silver to
tarnish in really bad condition in less than a month (those of you who have the
same acidic skin as me will know what I mean). Yes, in less than a month. I
decided to speak to some blacksmiths who suggested titanium jewellery but
because titanium is such a strong material and super tough to work with, there
can only be limited designs and Mothernecklaces were not one of them. To cut a long story short (that
involved a lot of testing and failed attempts), we came up with our own
materials (similar to titanium) and named it Monel Silver, with the same
strong, anti-tarnish, and anti-allergic qualities but easy to work with and
could be used to create the beautiful pieces you can see at our online store. I
started by making personalized custom jewellery for myself and people
(sometimes strangers) who approached me and asked me to create one for them. The Engraved
Necklace is the most treasured keepsake anyone who has a lost love can
have. Carry not only a personalized inscription of your loved one, but place
inside the canister a token of remembrance inside.
One
of the latest trends in the jewellery world is referred to as stacking. This
can be seen everywhere from the high fashion magazines to the bohemian music
festivals. However, many people are not quite sure the best way to create their
own perfect combination of stacked jewellery. The most commonly stacked
jewellery pieces are bangles and bracelets. You do not have to match metals and
colors. Feel free to mix and match bronze, gold and silver for a tri-metal look
that is edgy and versatile.
Three
years later, on the 14th of February 2012, Valentine’s Day, (still remember
that day like it was yesterday), BelleFever was born, named after my daughter Isabella, the baby of the
family (after having three boys), a big dream in a small workshop behind my
house. I wouldn't say that I know everything there is to know about jewellery -
but pretty darn close!
The
dream was simple (which is also our mission):
To
allow everyone to capture those Moments in Life;
To
create unique designs that makes us as unique as our personalities;
To
be able to keep love ones close always;
To
make it affordable for everyone;
To
start a family heirloom that can be passed on to generations; and
Quite
simply to solve all your gifting ideas with something different yet affordable
for everyone.
Please
