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!
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!
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!
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!
