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!
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!
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!)
Yes, I’ve already had some fuschia pink glass gems in my jewelry supplies shop. Fuschia is a customer favorite – it is so bold and strong a color! If you’re in the mood for pale pink… fuschia is not it. But if you love bright, vivid, and (I think) beautiful rich color – you will love these!
Take a look at two of the newest fuschia pink glass gems I have available right now:
The larger stone here is 14mm x 10mm, which is a very popular size – I think because it’s so versatile. Large enough for pendants, not huge but with definite presence – and a great size for earrings, bold but still lightweight. And I’ve used this size to make some fabulous bracelets – in two ring settings, linked with jump rings. Easy and gorgeous!
The smaller, 10x8mm octagons work beautifully with most other stone sizes and that makes them super useful. But (especially in this vivid color) they are fabulous “as is” for earrings! Tiny – but bold. (And again, very lightweight. I don’t know about you but I really appreciate that.)
Check out the new fuschia stones – I think you’ll love them! And yes, I’ll show off a few more fuschia pink combos soon. Just because!
I just tried out a new(ish) necklace design idea featuring sapphire blue glass stones from my jewelry supplies shop. Sapphire is another one of those colors that’s almost universally flattering, so if you’re making a gift for someone it’s a good bet. Or if you want to sell your jewelry creations, well, sapphire can be pretty popular!
This is an example of a simple, easy-to-make jewelry design. And I called it “newish” above, because the idea of dangling gems or beads from a necklace chain is certainly not new. But I think I’ve given it a pretty spin here. The sapphire blue diamond shape stones here give extra emphasis to the central teardrop pendant. And of course you can adapt this idea so it works best for your own design idea 🙂
It’s also good to know that sapphire is the birthstone color for September. Handy to know and still lots of time to order – and create!
Yes, I wanted to show off some new stones I just got in my jewelry supplies shop. Aqua – or aquamarine blue – is such a popular color. It looks good year round, and it is flattering to almost every skin tone. Dark skin, light skin, sallow or flushed, you can wear aqua blue!
The new stones are the 8mm x 8mm diamond-shape or diagonal squares shown here. They’re actually lovely when used alone, as a small earring drop or pendant. But they’re also super useful combined with other stones. The example I show would make wonderful dangling earrings or pendants – just link the stones with jump rings and they’re ready to use! Or combine with other colors. (Yes, I’ll show some samples soon!)
And yes, I’m going to sweeten the pot 🙂 Buy one pair of glass jewels in my shop – and you get another pair free! The offer’s good through midnight on Monday, August 23, 2025. Buy one – get one free: easy to remember and easy to use. Just mention this blog post when you order and let me know what free pair you want!
Pears, or pear-shaped-teardrops, are absolutely the most popular faceted glass stones in my jewelry supplies shop. I do have them in several sizes, from 13x8mm faceted jewels that are wonderful for slender, delicate earring components or connector links, and in larger sizes – up to pendant-sized 25x18mm. So you can find the size – or sizes – that work best for your DIY jewelry creation 🙂
The pear jewels showing above are medium-size. At 14mm x 10mm, they’re definitely large enough for gorgeous earrings (or delicate pendants) – but they’re also small enough to be super comfy! And if you create a design that uses multiples, well that’s fabulous too!
And hey, to make that even easier, from today through Monday, August 17, 2025 – for every pair of 14x10mm teardrops you buy, get one pair free! Buy one – get one free. Just mention this blog post when you order and let me know what free pair you want.
And have fun creating your jewelry!
The crystal teardrops shown here are one of the most versatile glass gems you can wear! When in doubt – crystal always goes with your outfit. It looks good day or night. And these are a modest size, 14mm x 10mm – so they’re lightweight and comfy to wear all day. Or night 🙂
Of course I have many more teardrops in my shop. And they are the most popular shape for my customers. Feminine, interesting, flattering. Great for gifts, or to make jewelry for sale, or DIY jewelry for yourself. I think you’ll love them!
P.S. Of course these are wonderful for bridal and wedding jewelry. But you already thought of that!
Garnet is such a versatile color! I think it’s often regarded as a gemstone of love, which is nice but since my stones are glass, not precious gems, I’m not sure if that applies. I don’t mind that: mine are lovely, and the quality is consistent – and they’re affordable 🙂
Please take a look through my shop, at the various colors and shapes I have available in glass stones. Compare them with the garnet stones in my pic. There are some wonderful possible combinations! Imagine garnet with aqua, or turquoise. Or with black, for drama. Or with emerald. A lot of great possibilities!
And to sweeten the pot, from today through Monday, August 11, 2025 – for every pair of garnet stones or pendant you order, you get one free! Buy one – get one free. Just mention this blog post when you order 🙂
I started to title this “Amethyst and Peridot Stones” and that is totally not the right way to do it! I want to be sure to make it clear, every time I feature my glass gems, that they are made of glass, and are not precious gemstones. One of the best things about these jewelry components is that they are gorgeous – and NOT expensive!
Please take a look through my shop, at the various colors and shapes I have available in glass stones. You’ll see what I mean. They’re really attractive. They combine beautifully with other jewelry components – other glass stones and beads, fantastic filigrees, and chain for utility – and movement. I’m not suggesting they’re better than precous gemstones…. but they’re pretty cool, all the same!
P.S. And just as an added inducement, from today through Friday, August 1, 2025 – for every pair of stones or pendant you buy, you get one free! Buy one – get one free. Buy five? get five free! The only requirement is you mention this blog post when you order. Only as long as my current supplies last, but I’ve recently restocked so that shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Have fun shopping!
