Ruby red glass gems – and a BOGO sale!

Ruby is the classic birthstone for the month of July – and I’ve got some fabulous ruby red glass rhinestones, beautifully faceted, available right now 🙂

And the thing you want to know is that from today, June 28, 2019 until July 3, 2019 at midnight, I’m offering a BOGO sale – Buy One Get One Free!

Buy any pair of red glass gems (or a red pendant) and you can get a second pair or pendant free. When you order, just send me a note and say, “send me my extra pair free… I’d like these.” (then tell me which ones!) Equal or lesser value and all that, but that’s the only restriction. This is limited to quanitites I have on hand, so don’t wait too long 🙂

And enjoy your free gift!

DIY necklace design idea – pearls and crystals!

This do-it-yourself necklace design features “real” gems (freshwater pearl buttons) with faceted Swarovski crystal elements, and a gorgeous rhinestone oval pendant. I think the combination really works!

The cluster of crystals at the top of the oval pendant adds a bit of complexity to the design – and offers a great way to personalize your design, using your customer’s favorite colors – or hey, the birthstone colors of you and your kids! This is YOUR necklace and your design. You make it the way you like it best!

If I can spark an idea or three, that’s super 🙂 Take this idea and run with it – creating your own special *and* affordable jewelry – that’s the goal!

Earring design idea using glass jewels and brass flowers :-)

This pretty earring design idea is another example of how you can combine two simple components into a great jewelry design 🙂

Add earwires or posts, a sturdy jump ring, and your earrings will be ready to wear! I show two different color jewels here – using custom colors is a simple way to personalize your design.

Easy, economical and pretty – this is the way it’s supposed to be 🙂

More clearance sale items!

Yes, i’ve added more clearance sale items to my shop! I love to share these. You guys great a great deal – and I sell a few items that I have in limited supply, or I can’t get more so I want to sell them now – or I just feel like having a sale. Or all of the above 🙂

clearance sale items available in my weekendjewelry1.etsy.com shop

Quantities on some of these really are limited (especially the coral pears) so don’t wait too long – but do remember to check back often, because I’ll be adding more goodies to the sale.

Happy hunting!
