Yes. Crystal earrings. Again. Because they are so sparkly, so pretty – and so useful!  One of the nicest things about these earrings (aside from that sparkle!) is that they are not large, and not heavy to wear. The diamond shape gems are just 10x10mm (approx. 3/8″) and the round jewels are 8mm – that’s about 1/4″. These will be noticed. These would be beautiful for a bride. Or at work, even. They aren’t “in your face”. They’re lovely. And comfortable. And easy to DIY. This is a win, you know? These earrings are classics – crystal hearts in a silver setting. Lovely!  These are simple – and flattering. The jewels are a modest 5/8″ high (15x14mm) so they’re not heavy. They’re perfect for wedding earrings – but honestly, anytime you want a sparkly, feminine earring you could reach for these. Click on the pic to find the heart jewels I have in my shop right now – and if you don’t see a color you need, please do ask – I might have some stashed! (P.S. Yes, these are wonderful for a bride. But also…think how great these would look on the beach!) This picture shows a sparkling crystal necklace – and a super useful DIY necklace design!  Of course, you can just click on the pic to find these jewels – and more crystals, more styles, and more colors – in my shop. This design is made with three sizes of crystal rhinestone (glass) jewels – shown here are 8mm rounds with rivoli faceting, 10x10mm diamond shapes, and a pear or teardrop focal centerpiece that measures 18x13mm. This would be a wonderful necklace for prom – and (I know you’ve thought of this already) a beautiful bridal necklace. Wedding jewels? Yes! Run with the idea – using the shapes that work best for you, and a different color – or combination of colors – that could be so much fun! And as always, if there’s a color or shape you’re searching for and not finding – just ask. I might have it – or I’ll help! Another pretty, sparkly do it yourself earring design idea:  Click on the pic to find these jewels in my shop – and more, of course 🙂 These aqua glass connectors and montana sapphire diamond shaped glass gems aren’t the two colors you might think to combine first. But – as you can see, they’re terrific together! Of course you can choose your own coordinating colors (and shapes). I do have these diamond shaped jewels in sheer amethyst, and a few in emerald green – and may have more in future. It’s such a cool shape! And if there’s something you don’t see – and you need? Just ask! It’s winter, it’s cold, and a little bit of DIY sparkling jewelry can just be a bit of lift, you know?  Click on the pic to find these jewels (and more) in my shop! As shown here, this is just a potential do it yourself jewelry design. The beads (or jewels) are smallish – these earrings would be lightweight and delicate. And pretty. And could be made in your choice of color. And shape, for that matter. Really it’s just an idea to get your creative juices going! Spring is coming. A little treat right now is just a good idea! You might think that clear glass jewels would be boring. After all, they have no color, how could they have any jazz? But you know – they really do.  You should absolutely click on the picture to see more clear glass jewels I have available right now. Most of all, I wanted to show that even clear jewels can add sparkle to your outfit. Part of it’s the faceting, of course. And my personal preference is to set them in golden or silver settings. But actually, clear glass set into patina (antiqued) brass settings really does have a mystical, deeper appeal. And ‘antiqued’ is a good description – they look like aged treasures. In a good way! Check out the clear jewels in my shop right now – and if you’re looking for a shape or size you don’t see, just ask – I might have some! Or be able to get them. The quest is always fun! These sapphire blue pears are now available in a new medium size – they’re 14mm x 10mm, approx. 5/8″ x 3/8″. It’s a terrific size when you want earrings that are a bit more petite – but still have a great presence. And these new, smaller rounded gems are lovely paired with these teardrops.  And yes, they’re on sale right now. If you buy the 14x10mm pears, send me a note and I’ll include the rounds for free! This is just through Monday, January 4, 2021 (and while supplies last). So don’t wait too long! And did you notice – “2021”. That’s another reason to celebrate, yknow? Let’s have a happy new year! This do it yourself necklace design idea features clear crystal sparkle and golden brass – proving you don’t have to spend a fortune to have a lovely piece of jewelry 🙂  (Click this link to find glass pendants and jewels in my shop!) And I’m doing another BOGO – buy one, get one free – sale, just because it’s a great time to offer a deal. When you buy one of these clear rhinestone pendants, 25x18mm, you can send a “note to seller” and request a second pendant (or clear pair of glass jewels) to go with. Add your own creative ideas, adapt as you will, and make gifts for Christmas – or a pretty piece of jewelry for yourself! Of course I have to add, this offer is limited to supplies on hand, and it’s good through midnight on Monday, November 30, 2020. P.S. A little “plus” – clear crystal, and golden brass? You know this is going to look great year-round. Christmas necklace today – and great with a cotton sundress a few months down the road! These clear glass heart jewels are one of my very favorites – and I just got a new supply. These are vintage, so the supply isn’t endless – I was thrilled to get more! And the quality is terrific. Let’s just put it right out there – these are Christmas presents without having to do any work 🙂  And yes, these are wonderful for pendants and earrings year-round. And we haven’t even talked (yet) about how perfect they are for brides. But right now? Christmas is coming. Make it easy on yourself. Your besties, your relatives, your customers – they will all love these. I meant to post this earlier and I think my brain went away or something. It’s a simple DIY earring design idea – with a bit of sparkle, and a bit of Christmas green – great for holiday jewelry!  Of course you can use your favorite colors, and play with different shapes too. The basic idea is that you can mix colors and shapes and create some very fun earrings! And as always – saving money on your jewelry and making Christmas gifts is a great year-round idea 😉 |
