Black Diamond Pendant and Earring Jewels Set

Hey, just one more reminder of why neutral glass gems can be so terrific! The pendant jewel in this pic is a faceted glass pear or teardrop that measures 25mm x 18mm – about one inch high. The round glass gems shown here are 10mm in diameter, or approximately 3/8″. They’re small enough that they are super lightweight when used as earrings – or as earring components. Imagine them linked to pearls, to small faceted beads, or to a bit of filigree – if you want to make fancier earrings. Yes, I’ll post a couple examples later, maybe next week. Stay tuned!





But even without those pics, you can see how useful these black diamond (gray) round gems could be! Link several together to make a bracelet, or necklace ‘chain’. Pair them with coordinating glass gems, or add rich color to provide contrast. Use your own style to make them work the way you want!

And – I don’t usually do “sales” – but from now through December 31, 2023, if you buy the gems shown in this listing you get a second pendant for free. Just let me know what freebie you want when you order!

Faceted Glass 10mm x 8mm Octagons – on sale!

I love octagon shaped glass gems, big or small. They have a classic “emerald cut” shape (and that refers to the faceting this time, not the gemstone). They’re classy. They look good all alone or in combination with other shapes and sizes.




And right now, these octagons are on sale! Buy one pair, and get one pair free. It’s easy – when you purchase a pair you send me a convo (right there on Etsy) and let me know what color freebie you want! Equal or lesser value and all that, and only while supplies last. But I’m pretty well stocked up, I think. Don’t wait too long – this offer’s good through midnight on Sunday, August 13, 2023.

P.S. And yes – if you buy five pairs (just for example) you get five freebie pairs, too. Go for it!

Sapphire Glass Jewels, Part 2 – and a BOGO sale!

I showed off some sapphire glass jewels I have in my shop, in yesterday’s post. Today I wanted to show the scale of the two-jewel sapphire drops I have in my shop. The mannequin in this pic is pretty close to life size, so you can get an idea of how large (or rather, not too large!) these earring jewels really are.




And just so you know, the “BOGO” buy-one-get-one-free deal is still on, through midnight on Monday, August 7, 2023. So when you buy a pair of sapphire blue glass stones in my shop you get a second pair for free. Just mention this post when you order, and then let me know what freebie you want!

Sapphire Glass Jewels – and a BOGO sale!

It’s fun to have sales! Fun for me to reach new customers (and to give an even better deal to my current customers) – and of course it’s fun to buy something you really love and get it at a sale price!




So my deal this week, from today through midnight on Monday, August 7, 2023, is when you buy a pair of sapphire blue glass stones in my shop (or a sapphire blue pendant jewel) you get a second pair for free! All you have to do is make your purchase and then email or convo me (on Etsy) mentioning this blog post, and then let me know what freebie you want.

Buy one pendant? Get a second for free. Buy a pendant and three pairs of earring jewels? Get four freebies. Only while supplies last, but I’ve got a good stash. Such a deal!

Glass Faceted Pear or Teardrop Jewels for DIY Jewelry – Part Two

And I did mention I would be posting more colors of the 14mm x 10mm faceted teardrops I have available in my shop, yes? Here are more colors I have right now. One note I meant to mention: if any of the pears you like are foiled back, but you prefer sheer jewels, just let me know. Most of them have foil that can be removed (there are a few colors for which that doesn’t work well – but only a few.)





The crystal AB (aurora borealis) pears shown in the upper right here are one example of jewels where it doesn’t work to remove the foil backing – if you do that, you basically have clear glass stones with just a bit of aurora finish. But the foil versions are so fabulous, I haven’t found that to be much of a problem!

P.S. And again – if you mention this blog post when you order, you get a “buy-two-pairs, get one pair free” deal! Good through July 21, 2023. Such a deal!

Faceted Glass Pear Jewels for Pendants, Connectors and Earrings

In this pic I’m featuring some of the 14mm x 10mm (5/8″ x 3/8″) faceted glass or rhinestone pears I have in my shop right now. I’ll add more pics soon, as I absolutely have more colors available! But these are customer favorites:





Some are re-supply, some are new (the olivine green shown here are a new size for my shop, and the color is brighter. Pretty isn’t it! And the new supply I have of fuschia pears are wonderful quality in a color that acan be hard to find. Check them out!

P.S. And if you mention this blog post when you order, you get a “buy-two-pairs, get one pair free” deal! Good through July 21, 2023. Don’t wait…!

Emerald Green Glass Gems and a BOGO sale!

Okay, I have to admit, I love emerald green. And a lot of my customers agree with me. It’s not as hard to wear as some greens can be, with underlying yellow for example in olivine or lime (though of course on the right person those are great!) But emerald is rich and flattering on almost every skin tone. And it just looks expensive, yknow?





But happily, it isn’t expensive. And for the next week, through midnight on April 7, 2023, when you buy any emerald glass gems you get a second pair or pendant for free! You only have to mention this blog post when you order, and then we’ll figure out which freebies work the best for you!

Amethyst Vintage Glass Stones – BOGO sale!

These are some of my favorite glass jewels – sheer amethyst purple 12mm x 10mm ovals. The color is great, and you know I love vintage stones. No extra carbon footprint that hurts our planet! But I’m selfish too – these are just beautiful.





At 12x10mm (approx. 1/2″ x 3/8″) they are great for an oval pendant – and earring components. And from today through midnight on Monday, March 12, 2023, when you buy one pair of these vintage jewels, you can get a second pair free! (Or send me a note and request another pair of gems, equal or lesser value. I’ll dicker!)

Beautiful vintage gems. A great component for jewelry gifts or for sale. You’ll love them!
