Happy Halloween!

Really that’s all. That’s what I’m thinking about today. Life is a challenge for all of us these days (I suppose it always is, but it really feels like more right now, yknow?) So we need to enjoy the everyday things. Or the everyday Special things: like Halloween. We’ve got candy ready for the kids, we’ve got glow-in-the-dark bracelets, and a big ghost (and witch) out front. So – everybody – have a wonderful, safe, fun, yummy Halloween!

Oh sure, I have to post some pretty glass jewels. And these are orange and black, so they’re in the Halloween mood, right?

It’s a little late to purchase these jewels for Halloween… but you can always combine new colors – that’s always fun. Orange and green? Black and red? Red and green? (Think about Christmas – I know you are, already!)

Meanwhile – fun is what this whole day should be about. Enjoy!

Red vintage rhinestone earrings or pendant jewels

Sometimes, this is what it’s all about. Lovely vintage glass, present rhinestone jewels in silver or brass settings. Yes, you can get them in two-ring connector or link settings, or “no-ring” settings so you can make button earrings. And those are great. But this style? Add earwires and you’re good to go.

The’re great for Christmas gifts – or parties. Or just because you like red 🙂

Vintage glass beads and a new Deal of the Day

Yes, my blog is called Vintage Glass Jewels – I was so thrilled when I started finding true vintage beads and stones! But then I realized I couldn’t maintain a steady, reliable supply, not all the time – so I started buying classic-but-NEW rhinestones. And they’re gorgeous and I love them. So now it’s like a treat, when I can resupply my true vintage stones. Like these gorgeous amethyst glass oval jewels 🙂

Aren’t they terrific? For brides and bridesmaids – for Christmas gifts – for yourself. They’re faceted oval rhinestones, and so easy to use! And for just one day they’re my BOGO Deal of the Day. Buy one pair, get another pair free – or choose any other jewels from my Weekend Jewelry online jewelry suppliies shop (equal or lesser value) – and yes, that second pair is free. Just for one day, October 25, 2017.

No rain checks – it’s just While supplies last!

Red and orange glass teardrops – gorgeous DIY earrings!

A customer recently requested this unusual combination of colors – and I hope my pics have conveyed a little bit of the beauty, because they looked fabulous together! Vivid red and orange (hyacinth orange, to use the exact rhinestone name) aren’t usually used together, so that’s fine. But sometimes we like doing the unexpected, you know what I mean?

Of course what’s wonderful about these “multi stone” or “duo” settings is that you can choose the colors you like best. Tiny crystal rhinestones are gorgeous with the red teardrops. Or use emerald green and get ready for Christmas 🙂

“Choose your color” is the theme here. Just don’t worry about trying new combos!

Peach rhinestone earrings and pendants – Deal of the Day!

I think peach is one of the most underrated colors. It’s not bold and bright. It’s quieter than that. But it’s always feminine, always flattering, and for most skin tones, super easy to wear. I’ve got some lovely rhinestones and glass beads in coordinating shades of peach – and for tomorrow they’re featured as a new Deal of the Day 🙂
