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!
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!
I just wanted to show off this pendant necklace to show that jewelry can be pretty, and colorful, and eye-catching, and *does not have to be fussy or complicated*. So there!
Ths aqua blue glass oval pendant in this listing is just one of the pendant colors I have available in my shop right now. Of course you can choose your favorite color. And shape, for that matter. And yes you can combine stones, create layers and complexity, and that can be wonderful. But you don’t have to. Sometimes, simple and pretty really works. Like it does here!
P.S. And yes, the aqua here – aquamarine blue – is the birthstone color for March, which is useful to know. But mostly – it looks good!
I’ve featured clear glass pear or teardrop stones before but I don’t think I’ve shown off the cool faceting on these pears! And I love the size – these are 14mm x 10mm (I know, you saw that on the pic) – so if you like small(ish) lightweight earrings, these really work. And even at the small size, they still sparkle and add a bit of light 🙂
People have actually been grabbing them up since I listed them in my shop, so if you don’t see them, send me a note – I always keep some stashed!
Yes, I love earrings – you probably figured that out! Without a lot of fuss, your jewelry – your earrings – can totally make your outfit! And they don’t have to be fussy or huge. And they don’t have to take a lot of work!
Sometimes you can just take pretty jewels, add your own touch (the tiny stones here for example, can be any color you want!) And voila: pretty earrings. Add earwires or posts, make earrings to gift or sell, or for yourself.
And you really don’t need to spend a lot of money. Seriously!
This is a classic style: crystal – glass gems with lovely faceting – in a beautiful pair of earrings. Enhance the gems, as shown here, with silver chain. Great movement, lovely sparkle, and the earrings are still lightweight!
Of course fashion changes every season, and we’re always looking for new styles. But sometimes it’s just smart to buy – or create! – a pair of earrings that look good today, with practically every style you can imagine. And that will look fresh and new and beautiful next year, and the year after that.
These earrings absolutely meet those criteria! You could wear these with a tank top and blue jeans (come on, you know you pictured that already!) You could wear them to work with a black dress.
You could wear them at your wedding (and isn’t that an irresistible picture!)
Do it yourself jewelry – to make, to wear, to sell. Just the way you want it!
Cushion cut octagons are super popular glass jewel shapes in my shop. Partly I think because they are a moderately sized glass gem, 12mm x 12mm, about one half inch. Large enough to be seen, but still lightweight. Plus, they tend to be nicely faceted. For that relatively small size glass gem, you get some sparkle!
And I have a lot of colors in this popular stone. The pic above shows a few of them – click on the image to see more! They’re great for medium-size pendants, connector links, and of course earrings – used “as is” or in combination with other stones and beads.
Have fun creating!
These earring drops are one of the most popular styles in my shop. Partly because they’re a lovely graceful shape, partly because they have enough presence to be sparkly and noticeable – without being heavy. Hey, comfort is important!
And of course, partly because these are customizable! Not only are the main teardrops available in many colors, but because you choose the color of the tiny round stone. Match the teardrop – or find a contrasting color. Match your birthstone – or the birthstone of your giftee. Or just play with colors!
And from now through midnight on Friday, June 12, you can buy one pair in this style – and get a second pair free! You just have to purchase your one pair, and then send me a note to let me know what color(s) you want for your freebie.
Now that’s a special deal!
Really my inspiration here is simple: blue and white jewelry. We all wear blue, most of us combine blue and white a LOT, and you know it’s a classic color combination that looks good year round. So I just wanted to show an example of how to easily make a pretty pair of earrings with these colors!
So, round white glass cabochons paired with sapphire blue glass pears. Link with jump rings, and you’ve got some fabulous earrings!
Or pendants, of course 😉
I think I’ve talked about these before but I just thought it was worth mentioning them again. Clear glass gems for your go-with-everything jewelry. If you aren’t sure what will *go*, or all the color earrings you have are just wrong, you can always use these sparkling glass pears 🙂
They’re not loud – but they’re pretty. And think about it – if you’re traveling and don’t know what you might need when you buy something? Clear glass gems. Sparkling. Lightweight. Lovely. Easy to wear.
And just in case you’re interested – from today through midnight on Sunday, May 25, 2025, when you buy one pair, you get one free. You just have to mention this blog post – and let me know what settings you want for your freebie. Get a pair in gold, and a pair in silver. You’ll be ready for anything!
