Sparkling red and crystal clear glass gems are paired in these beautiful multi stone gems!

This color combination is especially popular around Christmastime, of course. These slender earring or pendant jewels have 13x8mm vivid red pears, and you pick color of the tiny round stones – so you can customize these!

Also it’s good to remember that these are lightweight, which my customers love – but most important they have sparkkle and shine and are totally flattering! And of course, visit my shop to see more beautiful glass stones!


Emerald green is a beautiful color – and right now it’s especially useful. Hey, Christmas is coming!

These emerald green faceted glass pears are 18mm x 13mm – that’s approximately 3/4″ x 1/2″. This is a fabulous size for earring jewels – and lovely for pendants. Not too large, not too small. These stones are great used just as is – or used as components in complex pendants or earring designs. Hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring or two ring styles. These are definitely a customer favorite in my shop!


Showing off terrific glass stones again! These are sheer montana sapphire – or navy blue – and they’re vintage glass in terrific condition.

The stones are 12mm x 10mm (that’s close to 1/2″ x 3/8″). They’re available hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring or two ring styles. They’re a quiet color, not flashy, but that sheer navy blue really works well for daytime jewelry – or subtle nighttime sparkle!

Imagine several of them linked with jump rings, to make a bracelet or necklace “chain”. Or earrings using a single glass oval, linked to intricate filigrees. Or other beads. Let your style shine through!


Right now I’m just going to show off some gorgeous stones. First off – these lovely sheer pink cushion cut octagons.

The stones are 12mm x 12mm (approx. 1/2″). They’re available hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring, two ring, or no ring styles. Note that the no ring, and two ring settings, have closed backs. Still lovely with this sheer pink!

These are wonderful for delicate pendants – and great for effortless earrings 🙂

Classic Earring Design Idea

I love this earring style – let me know if you agree 🙂 It’s classic in its simplicity – beautiful glass gems on dangling silver chain. Great movement, great sparkle, easy to make – and easy to wear! Also of course, easy to find in my my jewelry supplies shop. (Hey, I had to mention that!)

As you can see in the pic, these stones are not large – they’re 12mm x 10mm, about a half inch high. So they’re lightweight and these earrings are super comfy. Like I said – easy to make AND easy to wear. This is the way it should be!

And yes these stones are on sale from today through midnight on Saturday, November 1, 2025 – if you buy a pair you get a second pair free! Equal or lesser value, you know how that works. Just mention this blog post when you order!

Neutral black diamond glass gems shine!

Lately I’ve been focusing on vivid glass gems – yes they’re beautiful. But I wanted to show an example of a completely neutral stone – in this case, black diamond or gray glass gems – and point out that they are fabulous in your DIY jewelry.


You see what I mean? These black diamond glass ovals are mid-size at 12x10mm (about a half inch high) – paired here with silver plated chain. And they totally work to make great earrings!

Orange and aqua glass gems

I just wanted to show an example of unusual(ish) color combinations – and show how good they look together! Case in point, the orange octagons I mentioned recently are paired here with deep aqua blue cushion cut glass octagons.


Let me know what you think – even those these aren’t “typical”, I think they work well! And just to show off my new stones, from today through midnight on Thursday, October 16, 2025, if you buy any of the orange stones in my shop, you get a second item or pair free. Just mention this blog post when you order!

Orange glass stones – new color!

The color on these glass gems, new in my jewelry supplies shop, is just so fun!

I mean, it’s vivid, it’s actually quite a lovely color, but it’s also just makes me smile. Orange is just not a Serious Color. It’s full of life and sometimes craziness and yes, I’m attributing a lot to a color. But – bright and vivid and fun!

I have another shape or two to list, but meantime take a peek at these – and just FYI, from today through Friday, October 10, 2025, if you buy any orange glass stones in my ship you get a second pair free. Just mention this blog post after you order!

Rainbow vitrail glass gems, Part 2

This time I wanted to show off new vitrail rainbow glass stones – new in my jewelry supplies shop, that is! And just by coincidence (okay not really) it also shows another way to use those lovely 10mm rounds I featured a few days ago!

As you can see, the rainbow (vitrail) 10mm rounds are the first stone shown in this combination. Paired with these larger ovals (that’s the shape that’s new in my shop) you can make a fabulous pair of dangling earrings, or pendants. And you’ll probably think of more ways to use these stones!

And the special BOGO sale is still in effect – from now through midnight on Friday, September 26, 2025, when you buy one pair of vitrail glass stones, you get a second pair free!

Rainbow vitrail glass gems – and a BOGO sale!

I’m showing off again – the vitrail glass gems shown here are just one example of the gorgeous stones I have available in my jewelry supplies shop right now. The color name “vitrail” is also referred to as “rainbow” – even with this one example you can see why!

When you click on the pic you’ll be shown my vitrail stones – including smaller, 10x8mm octagons, up through several sizes of octagons and pear shaped teardrops for earrings or pendants. And you’ll see the variation of these “rainbow” stones. No two are exactly alike – but if you decide to order, I’ll make sure yours are a good match 😉

And yes I’m going to sweeten the deal – from today through Friday, September 26, 2025, when you buy one pair of vitrail glass stones, you get a second pair free! (Only while supplies last!)
