Okay, I’m not doing Christmas colors anymore. One, it’s a nice change from what we see a lot of right now. And two, there may or may not be time to get your jewelry supplies, make a jewelry gift (it’ll be gorgeous of course) – and then send it to your giftee. In theory that can totally happen: but the post office is way overburdened and sometimes things arrive more slowly than they should. So I’m not showing red and green jewels. I’m showing Black. (And of course you can find more shapes and sizes at my shop.)
Because: Black is always in style. Black jewelry, black outfits, black shoes, black accessories…are always going to be useful. When in doubt you can always wear black. The faceted black jewels shown here, just as examples, would make a fabulous pair of earrings and matching pendant. You’ll think of other ideas of course, with these and other black glass jewels.
Black always looks good.
I know, Christmas is almost here! I hope your Christmas shopping is all done – but, hey, if you need something quickly, please do check out my shop – if you decide that DIY jewelry works for the gifts you want to give, I can get your order out same day or the day after. There’s still time!
But once you can relax about Christmas – you might want to think about the January birthdays coming up. Your mom, your bestie, your daughter? (Or yourself!) Garnet is the birthstone for January. I have lots of gorgeous garnet glass gems in my shop… just saying!
It’s easy to shop, easy to buy, and I ship quickly – keep it in mind, yes?
I thought I would focus this time on some of the two-stone or multi-stone gem settings I have available in my shop right now! And especially the white glass gems because (1) they go with everything, and (2) Christmas is coming soon!
These are great DIY jewelry supplies for Christmas gifts. For one thing, they’re lovely. That’s important! They’re also affordable and easy to use – add earwires and you’re good to go! Of course you can use them in more complex designs as well. They can also be customized – with these “two jewel” settings, you pick the color of the tiny round stone. So you can choose your mom’s favorite color, or match the tiny stone to your daughter’s birthstone. Or, well, you get the idea – you choose!
Easy to make jewelry ideas that are customizeable and affordable. This is a *great* idea for Christmas – or other special occasions! And of course, white customized jewelry is perfect for wedding jewelry! (But you already thought of that!)
I love sparkly earrings and think these emerald green and crystal earrings are gorgeous! Of course you could adapt this idea using your own stones and jewels. And your favorite colors – or, your customer’s favorite colors when you make a special pair for her!
And because we all love special deals – from today through Sunday, December 8, 2024, when you buy any emerald glass jewels in my shop, you get a second pair free! Or if you prefer a 25mm pendant, you get another one free. Just until supplies last of course (but I just got in some more so we’re good) – all you have to do is mention this blog post, and tell me which freebie you want!
It may be a little early to be thinking about Christmas presents – or maybe not. I know I hate to wait till the last minute – why put that kind of pressure on yourself! So if you’re interested in making jewelry using Christmas colors, you should totally check out my shop!
For example, take a look at these pretty Christmas stones:
The pic will show you the emerald green stones I have available right now. Then do a search for “red” and, well, you know what you’re looking for!
And I know I’ve said this before, but why not save money – making your own fabulous jewelry for gifts and for yourself. Your besties will love it!
The birthstones for December are all lovely colors in blue gemstones – turqoise, blue zircon, tanzanite, and blue topaz. Well I have some terrific glass stones in those colors right here in my shop:
Just click on the pic to see more shapes and sizes of these pretty glass stones. And the best part of this is that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get gorgeous December-birthstone jewelry. Do it yourself, make gorgeous jewelry gifts, and save!
I love lariat necklaces. They always fit! When you’re making a gift for your BFF, or making items for sale – it’s nice to not have to worry about “will it fit”. That’s a detail your customers will appreciate! And the design can be worn with many different necklines. It’s so versatile!
Use multiple color stones, or just focus on one color. You set the rules, you know? This sample has a peridot green faceted teardrop that measures 25mm x 18mm (that’s about one inch long). The sheer zircon teardrop is a bit smaller. They complement each other beautifully, don’t you think?
And just to make this idea even sweeter – from today through Monday, November 18, 2024, when you buy one set of pear stones in my shop, you get a second pair free! Or when you buy one 25mm pendant, you get another one free. You just mention this blog post, and let me know which freebie you want!
Okay, to be accurate I should say the “birthstone color” for November – because the beautiful glass jewels shown in this pic, and more topaz glass jewels in my shop, are pretty – but not “precious gemstones”. You don’t need to pay those kinds of prices for lovely stones!
I like to show off these stones anytime – but especially this month, since topaz is the birthstone (okay birthstone color) this month. It’s easy to get your jewelry supplies in a few days – I really do ship quickly, usually next business day. And it’s easy to make gifts for your November bestie or sister or mom. Easy for you to make some pretty jewelry – that’s easy for them to love!
The sheer peach faceted glass pendant in this necklace design idea is paired with faceted glass rounds, shown here in clear crystal with AB highlights (the AB refers to “aurora borealis” facets of color!)
Of ocurse you can adapt this idea to your own particular style – and the colors of jewels in your stash or on your workbench. Add a cluster of pretty glass beads, and a pretty faceted pendant. This style is wearable, it’s feminine, and it would make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season!
When you’re not sure what kind of earrings you want to make for yourself, or gift to a special person, or to make for sale? Faceted glass hearts are usually a good idea!
These sheer rose pink glass hearts are a customer favorite. They’re a bit smaller than the other hearts in my shop – you decide if that works for you (I love wearing these, they’re large enough to show! but are also really comfortable..)
Yes I like lightweight earrings. But I also like pretty colorful earrings that make great gifts… And these rose pink hearts are wonderful for those – I think you’ll love them!
