These buff (smooth) fuschia pink earring jewels are vintage, from the 1950s I think! They look pretty fabulous for their age.
Actually they look pretty wonderful for any age. It’s a good color – flattering, and easy for most people to wear. And these vintage gems make super easy do it yourself earrings. You can fancy them up, and add several elements – but they look great “as is”. Add earwires and you’re good to go!
Click on the link to see these, and more, fuschia glass jewels. And make yourself an easy, affordable gift. Just for you. It’s good to do that sometimes!
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!
Of course if we’re thinking of Christmas jewelry (and I certainly am) – then emerald green is the next color in my Christmas palette. Plus I love emerald green. It’s so rich!
(Click here, or on picture, to find jewels in my shop!)
The emerald glass jewels shown here are just some of the shapes I have available right now – in golden brass or silver settings (antiqued patina brass settings are available too). The wonderful thing about these jewels – well one of the wonderful things – is that it’s so easy to create pendants and earrings, using the prong settings. Add jump rings and a chain, or earwires – and you have a lovely piece of jewelry.
When you want to make Christmas presents for your besties or women in your family – and you’re short on time – these styles can be really handy!

Yes, red is a Christmas color. That’s one of the reasons we’re looking specially at red teardrop jewels right now. But red’s gorgeous year-round and flattering to most people – that’s another (good) reason to keep it in mind.

Of course these earrings wouldn’t have to be (just) for Christmas. They look good and you’ll wear them anytime. But they feel more Christmas-y because of the vivid red glass jewels. You know I think using jewels in prong settings, and adding chain for movement and texture, is a fine way to make earrings 🙂
Just to show you what I mean:
Naturally you could use any color or shape glass jewels. It’s just that the red is so pretty – and appropriate – this time of year!
Do it yourself jewelry. Make Christmas gifts they’ll love. And save money. See, this is a great Christmas idea!
Okay, first, these are not just “Christmas earrings” or pendants. Emerald green is one of the most flattering colors you can choose, especially if it’s for a gift and you don’t know the person’s favorite color. Emerald is easy to wear, it doesn’t have sallow or yellow undertones, which can be tricky. So when in doubt? Emerald, or maybe turquoise, are super choices. And we just happen to have both those colors in this DIY earring design idea 😉
You’ll notice I’m using one of my favorite “tricks” (it’s not really) – combining opaque glass cabochons (the vintage aqua ovals) with faceted sparkling glass – the emerald green octagons. It’s just another example of “everything doesn’t have to be matchy-matchy”. And by accident (I didn’t notice until I was actually taking the pics!) I have them in two different color settings – patina brass for the emerald, and golden raw brass for the ovals.
You’re not supposed to do that – combine different color settings and all. Well darn. Why not try it?
Really I was just playing with stones on my worktable, and getting a few new pics. Then I happened to place these together – and love them! Christmas colors of vivid red and emerald green, and a combination of the opaque smooth jewels and faceted emerald rounds – these totally work and they’re just so, well, so Christmas!
And if you order the cherry red ovals, you can send me a “note to seller” and request a pair of the emeralde green rounds – for free! Obviously it’s only while supplies last, and only for a few days – till midnight on October 30, 2020. But hey, what a cool Christmas earring idea!
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 know it’s early to be thinking of Christmas, but this is a weird year. If you could find some affordable jewelry components that would make a lovely necklace and earrings set, and you could do it easily, and it could be personalized however you chose, and it would be a wonderful gift – that would be a good idea.
So I put together some sheer emerald pears and hey, here’s that necklace and earring jewels set!
Of course it would work any time of year, for yourself or for gifts. Or customers. But Christmas really is coming, and why not save yourself a little time and work and make something wonderful – and easy? That’s a win!
